can't stop thinking about this post. it's the most perfectly annoying amount of money to spend bc it so easily stacks to kick your fucking ass

The arc of the moral universe is long but it includes St Paul.

Reasons for writers to use "big" words: 1) The "big" word conveys a nuance of meaning that the "normal" word may not, being too vague 2) The "big" word sounds cool (as in, the word actually does sound cool and not like the writer is trying to get sapiosexually laid) 3) You fucking feel like it

If you haven't seen the first episode of Among Us, today is a great day to give it a watch! It's only 13 minutes long and it's funny! youtu.be/gDq4g_jzmGg?... #amongus #amongusshow

Art Fight last year was a lot more fun after reminding myself I could do whatever I want at any time. (2025 attacks!)

Rough day, so have a poem about the Jar of Moles in the Grant Zoology Museum in London that everyone has regarded as too thoroughly batshit to publish

Oh boy! Got the honour to do the final credit sequence of the TADC finale. Always a pleasure helping out a good friend @gooseworx.bsky.social . You better SLEEP! Here's a thread of the exports of the credit loops. Enjoy! Beach time! 1/8

Every day I’m grateful and proud that Tamora Pierce was the formative author of my childhood

I was having a rough time finishing pieces during this pregnancy, so now I’m trying to get back in the game. Quick warm-up doodle of Yellowfang, from the Warriors series! 🎨

Is Lowly Worm a person or a pet? It appears he’s going to elementary school with Huckle Cat, but he can also drive. In the videos from the 80s and 90s, he’s mute; it appears in later videos he can talk…

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

How much...? Sketchy comm for @gracedupre.bsky.social!

I am OBSESSED, he fits right in with your style - thank you so much once again!

I’m doing Art Fight again. How FREQUENTLY I’ll be doing it is up in the air - I’ve got a brand new baby in addition to the three year old (who’s doing her best to adjust) and can’t really call any sort of schedule yet. But I’m doing it! artfight.net/~Scribblerri...

Reading things I’ve had on my shelf for years and just never got around to, properly. And going from Welcome to Night Vale/It Devours!/Faceless Old Woman to The Eye of the World is an absolute whiplash. I bounced hard off of Wheel of Time in high school, but it’s time to give it a fair shot.

Persepolis was one of the books I read as a teenager over and over, studying it. Not just for how to draw or tell a story, but for how to live with integrity and keep your sense of self alive in a hard world. Thank you for sharing, Marjane.

Artist! Quote with your fanart! 🫡 I’m probably going to revisit Warriors or Wings of Fire again soon. Or maybe Redwall. Definitely in that YA Animal Fantasy mood lately.

RIP, Ms. Satrapi’s “Persepolis,” along with being educational and important, is also just really goddamn good.

Persepolis 1 & 2 are beautiful graphic novels and a bridge between cultures. Seeing Iran history and life through the eyes of Satrapi as she grows up listening to Michael Jackson and Madonna and has a punk phase and turns goth and all that was mind expanding for me. What a loss. R.I.P.

"Listen. I don't like to preach, but here's some advice. You'll meet a lot of jerks in life. If they hurt you, remember it's because they're stupid. Don't react to their cruelty. There's nothing worse than bitterness and revenge. Keep your dignity and be true to yourself." - Marjane Satrapi

Marjane Satrapi, whose acclaimed graphic novel and animated adaptation 'Persepolis' brought the realities of revolution, exile, and identity to audiences around the world, has died at 56. www.cartoonbrew.com/rip/marjane-satrapi-persepolis-creator-co-director-dies-at-56-262120.html

ko-fi.com/gracedupre The rare coffee request; it’s a bit of a pickle. I had a baby a week later than her due date and that apparently destroys MN’s entire paid leave app process! Account is under review and I’m marking time til they get their s together. You can request a doodle if you like! 😊

the idea of people using the slop machine for storyboarding is liek..what do you not wanna direct? thats like, the directing part. thats like, where, thats . but thats choices - but do you not..wnanna..do you not like film? do you hate that? what. whats going on.

There is not a creative name big enough for me to still partake in their AI endeavors. The only reason they have their careers is the hard work and contributions of lots of other artists. If they turn their backs on that, then I am uninterested in whatever thing they make moving forward.

I Am Frankelda is a boldly handmade film. It's all texture and jitter -- even the camera gets jostled. The film celebrates the natural flaws of stop motion. They aren't simply problems that need to be fixed, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-perfec...

Happy Pride month you buncha queers

Here's another great resource center from the @mackidssl.bsky.social team focused on celebrating Pride Month with books by LGBTQIA+ authors and illustrators. Great recommendations for young readers of all ages!

this is amazing reporting

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

Oof, Guillermo del Toro absolutely roasting Gutierrez with subtweets over on X-Twitter... I can't even imagine. I hope the money was worth it.

Paul McCartney on playing the last Cobert show on CBS: "It's magical when you realize the space you're standing in was the same space those four boys stood in, and now here we are. It's like -- wow. We did okay."

People are acting like this is a betrayal because it IS, in fact, a betrayal. There is no solidarity here. Fuck AI, humanity forever.

adhd is crazy cause you can rot for an entire week and finally on day 7 your third eye opens and all the tasks you were procrastinating on get done in 3 hours

One of the most consequential short films in history that explains why some people are like that. A load bearing part of early aughts random humor. Still a good watch too.

in Minneapolis we don't say "omw", we say "[road] clear from [street] to [street]" in an encrypted group chat, and I think that's beautiful

GUYS LOOK AT THIS LOOK HOW AMAZING THIS IS I AM SCREAMING
