Pov youre holding pizza

We the workers at Hachette have some big, BIG news, and we hope to create a better world for publishing and art, in solidarity with workers everywhere!! Join us, let's be proud!

Cake season in the Calarco house is off to a sweet start: a triple decker carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for a special birthday guy.

All these game studios keep saying don't worry, we're only using genAI to slop up *the* most creativity-demanding part of making the game. "Don't worry bro, I'm only using dogshit in the broth, just the soup stock has dogshit bro, it'll be strained out bro"

Happy Monday! I hope your week brings sunshine and happiness. #photography #naturephotography #art

you're not being exposed to the growing proportion of society who are long-term sick if you spend 100% of your time doing things that only healthy people can realistically go out and do.

the reason you don't see the millions of people with severe complications from long covid when you're out living your life is because most of us have been essentially swept out of the public eye like victorians with wasting diseases.

New Zealand, we need a chat. If you decide to have a harmless spider (tunnel web) that looks EXACTLY like the world's most aggressive and poisonous spider (funnel web), please don't make fun of the hapless Australian who has a bit of a conniption on spotting one in their loo. (1)

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A man (50s?) is wandering through a paddock, towing a wheelie bag of golf clubs behind him. A curious cow inspecting his progress with a snort and a headshake. Mountain bike riders circling around him. Clubs rattling as he goes. (1)

Me: *wearily, not looking up* Fiasco, stop yodeling in the hallway please, it is very distracting and I am trying to work Me: Me: What are you crying about, anyway Me: *turns* *sees kitten in his bed* Oh I see

Detox Doodles! These animals are from my 100-day journey to swap scrolling for sketching: www.joyousjoyness.com/pages/detox-... This page is full of Potoos and Tawny Frogmouths, who are simply Muppets. #art #sketch #birds #DetoxDoodles #sciart #inkart#bird#bird

Almost reading the greats. (my latest cartoon for @theguardian.com books)

WHITE WOLF (1977) Oil and Acrylic on Illustration Board - 26” x 17” Elric derives his strength and magical powers from his sword Stormbringer, which feeds on the souls of those it kills. 1/4 #art #booksky 🪐📚

Was having a terrible day (MondaysAmIRight), but then I came across this @trungles.com illustration for the Labyrinth Nucleus exhibit and the day improved significantly.

Listen I read a lot, and a lot of it is dull as hell, and I’ll tell you one thing I’ve learned: tedious writing is almost always a product of the writer conveying, rather than discovering. When a writer is discovering, or sharing discovery, no editor on earth can scrub out the vividity & joy.

Any of you out there ever had your #PassportPhoto turn out like this #BirdoftheDay? 😭 #BirdArt #SciArt

obviously this is absurd behavior from Claude but I’m actually somewhat more flabbergasted at the cloud provider here (Railway) it apparently stores backups on the same volume as the source data, so when Claude says “delete this volume” all the backups are gone too

This in the most damning indictment of Gavin Newsom as a person I've heard this week.

Storytelling has the power to drive meaningful change. That's why we created Know Your Rights University, our new series that provides critical civil liberties lessons that are fun for the whole family.

Garden for day 27 💓 #repostyourart #art

A small, slippery, salamander-inspired dragon for you all.

#repostyourart Day 27: Garden. I don't have much call to draw a garden normally but then I remembered how fond Richard was of roses. So here's the art from chapter 33 of Looking for Group. Colours done by the fantastic Ed Ryzowski @brainpulp.bsky.social

Hardly. I am constantly reminded of the value of being an open hater of "AI". Too many people feel like they have to hold space for "maybe it's good actually" and signaling (as you derisively put it) opens up more room for refusal.

🩷💜💙 YCH commission for @mxfee.bsky.social ! #art #artsky #myart

OMG I’M SO EXCITED!!!!

a feature-length documentary on Wishbone, TV's greatest Jack Russell terrier (siddown, Eddie from Frasier) is coming soon

Finally, some good news: workers at Hachette are unionizing, and you can sign an open letter of support. This is the way! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

In case you're wondering, my recipe for a Good Bluesky Experience here at the three year mark: 1. Decide not to be a dick 2. "Don't engage, just block" for trolls/bots/chuds 3. Mute stressful nouns 4. Follow super cool people of all sorts 5. Choose to have fun over "engagement" 6. Pictures of cats!

Hello, Bluesky. Today is the third anniversary of me joining this instance of social media. I celebrate, again, with a picture of a cat. bsky.app/profile/scal...
