…i dont know if i made myself motion sick playing Power Wash Sim or if i ate a bad food. Either option is pretty pathetic for me.

DO YOU WANT TO GET A CALCIUM DEFICIENCY?! THIS IS HOW YOU GET A CALCIUM DEFICIENCY, COOPER!!!

Came here to post about the same workflow! Found a video from the author of that post: youtu.be/RSkk5MDmfz0?...

Valentine’s Day is just a regular day for me, but boy am I glad i got to a place where seeing everyone having fun warms my soul rather than stew in unproductive bitterness.

“what are you willing to do to win?” typically makes people think of combative elements, but way more of the time this is what you’re gonna be called to do.

I appreciate theses bits. ESPECIALLY ACTUAL SALARIED ANIMATORS.

I wrote about something I've been thinking about for a long time. A kind of post-ironic collapse in our politics and culture where nihilism has become the lingua franca of the internet and beyond. It links Kirk, Clavicular, Epstein, memestock/coin stuff, mass shooters. I hope you'll read it.

My ancestors were taken from their home and brought here against their will. Even after gaining freedom, they were denied avenues to a secure life, which drove them to enlistment. US imperialism had them live overseas and meet and under these conditions I was born…

Me at 20: I’ll have it all figured out by the time I’m 40. Me at 40: wtf do you mean they rearranged the grocery store

whatever it is, they are obviously targetting me specifically and i am already giving them my money.

Something that’s becoming more prominent in Monster’s Garden Regrowth is how Kilo Monster fights with wanting to be connected to his heritage and wanting to leave it behind because of trauma associated with it.

Be Okay

Me and AAVE is kinda like what you get with some second generation folk who understand their family speaking their mother tongue but may not be great at speaking it in other situations. Sometimes it just sounds weird when i say things, like its not natural for me to use “finna” as a specific example

I have thought about doing stickers of cute lizards and reptiles using AAVE before because it is a particular intersection for me specifically, but despite being African-American, it felt like i would perpetuate people continuing to think it’s just regular internet slang.

Tapping the sign that what you think is “GenZ slang” is actually AAVE and we have to have this discussion every single time. Young non-black folk have always ALWAYS gotten their slang from young black folk.

The thing about being art blocked for me is that, i actually haven’t stopped drawing at all, its just that i dont want to show anything that im drawing. im just making crap the whole time.

Doesnt matter that i just dropped a big vet bill, i just got a paycheck and i need that Knights of Guinevere Art book NOW

Good morning

Artists, show us how you draw Black women. 💖 (Looking for pictures to show reminded me that several of my OCs need updated and finished images.)

The communication workshop ive been in the instructor talked about how the moment that a person becomes defensive, you’ve lost any more productive discussion and boy does that describe the frustration with having actual discussion with white cis men.

Thinking about starting to use basic disposable ballpoint pens for sketching cause I like making very light lines to explore shape and form and i cant do that with the technical pens ive been using…

Got one last opinion on stuff on my timeline: that WSJ headline saying that Millennials and GenZ splurge on gut health juice. WE ARE SEEING MORE MILLENNIALS DYING OF COLON CANCER AND ALSO WE’RE HEALTH CONSCIOUS BECAUSE HEALTH CARE EXPENSIVE, LIKE HOUSES. Okay im done. thx.

Oh you mean the company funded by PETER THIEL?

the firsr things he can think of are Irish and Italians? Historically not considered white! And if they became considered white, then that just proves that it is not an immutable trait. The reason he cant explain it is because its actually just bullshit and there’s no argument worth acknowledging.

Lost track of a post i wanted to respond to, so Ill just say that one of my coping mechanisms for anxiety is thoroughly researching a topic so i can feel prepared if catastrophe were to happen: There is no preparing for a nuclear attack, and frankly I hope I am lucky enough to be vaporized.

im conducting an experiment and that experiment is consuming a 7-11 egg salad sandwich that was made here in the US but is being sold as Japanese Style. I wouldnt normally make such a risk, but i need to know for science.

The things you allow to happen to black people will always be something that will happen to you eventually. This is how things got to this point. Things wont get better ever until you stand up for black folks.

POC’s desperate proximity to Whiteness will forever be dangerous.

its not a lie if i say that for the past week i’ve been dealing with an ill family member. Cause thet’s what pets are. Family.

The vet that saw Connor said that she looked well-cared for and sure they could say that to all pet parents but I like to be assured that Im raising my birds well cause i always fear that im messing up and not doing enough.

If indie animation is gonna have any viability, I must stress that it is important to have a good producer to figure out the money and manage the production team. I will keep banging this drum because it isnt enough to have skilled artists or writers without someone who can manage resources.

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

Connor’s vet got in-depth results back and the good news is that the info is all pointing toward a hormonal issue opposed to infection or injury, which is a big relief cause they can give shots for that.

Imagine what people could get done if they didn't have to work multiple jobs to survive.

Love how colon cancer keeps killing people under 50 and yet insurance doesn't cover colonoscopy without cost-sharing until age 45. I just paid $1,584 out of pocket for mine thanks to my deductible and copays

I was so touched by all the kind messages I received yesterday. It has given me a lot of encouragement for what will now be a big swing: My next animated project will be the first episode of a gothic horror interpretation of the Nutcracker called "Clara and the Below."

The thing about “being left behind” for not jumping on the AI wagon, is that it assumes that I even want get where that wagon is going and no, that wagon is going to a olace of unspeakable torment and woe, so i’d like to stay where i’m at tyvm

Getting stalked by a car in the parking lot wanting your parking spot but i’m just sitting in the car on my break and they drive off in a huff when they realize i am sitting in the passenger seat and not leaving.

AI-Gen is dying, repost to make it die faster :)

When we say "structural" abd "generational"...

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh

Creep will always be a guilty pleasure song for me because how true it is when i sing “I WISH I WAS SPECIAL” and “I DONT BELONG HERE”

If I have learned anything in trying to figure out how to live off my art, it is that I will never create anything that is commercially viable, or more accurately, making something that is commercially viable will kill my drive to art.

There's a pipeline for internalized neurodivergence that no one is talking about. So I will. You're born. You have a brain wiring difference. Because the world isn't built to meet your needs, as soon as they show up, they are unmet.

the cost if Connor’s vet visit did briefly have me consider commissions but i know myself too well: either i dont get enough and stress out about coming up short, or i get too many and get overwhelmed. Both instances will have me freeze up and unable to draw.

How is it that you can have something from two creators that have acclaimed, successful tv series and that is STILL not enough to be “commerically viable”???
