We are in the rare and unique position where indie animation can be unique creative visions unfettered by corporate interference or IP shit Why would you, as the fan, demand that the vision of the creator, who you claim to love, bend to your demands Kill your inner exec

THE WINNER

Any answer of like why art is so vibrant in a given country or even era is always gonna be because people actually paid them

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context

You don’t need Disney-level resources and drawing skills to create animation. People have made classics with sand and a source of light. With magazine clippings, or their own bodies animated via stop motion. There’s no barrier to entry, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/sand-and-a...

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today. I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand. There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

*NorthernLion voice* “Anvils are low-key funnier to drop on someone than safes.” You are child. You’re seven, alright? You don’t understand the ways of the world. You don’t know how to “yes, and” a slapstick bit. You’re in Looney Tunes world and you’re trying to win which is the only way to lose.

I’ve spoken to so many non-male friends recently who have been Going Through It because of *gestures at everything.* I’m going to try and keep sharing support resources. Today, here’s a thread of orgs specifically for and by Black women. 1/

this is why you should *never* hit someone with an rpg. it’s dangerous, it’s shitty, and it’s wrong

You should never feel jealous or ashamed that people your age are doing projects you wish you were doing cause every year you're getting older, which means you're getting hotter and more talented by the day so chin up, and don't drag your feet about shit that takes time

Also made this one

also super important to note that it doesn't actually matter *in the slightest* if you switch over to something else individually, if your industry is still using the other thing. unless all the programs are *compatible with each other* (they aren't) this advice is functionally useless

As someone who lives in Washington state I made my objection known.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

Happy Black History month! Make sure to give your black friends $300 each! you have 28 days ❤️❤️❤️

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder

I worked very hard on this

YEAAAH CONGRATS TO SINNERS

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

This is the kind of energy that I strive for

To add to this, almost all of the U.S.’s problems are linked to its hatred of Black people and that it hates Black people more than it loves anyone else. Our laws and policies are largely based on making sure Black people (and sometimes other groups) don’t benefit even at the expense of others.

Meanwhile, compliments of the actual writer who brought you Sinners;

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

This show was a visual treat to work on. Great crew, great animation/animators, and designers.

POV: You asked the senior citizen you've been working out with to go on a date with you and he said yes. An amazing bust comm from the talented @juggermelon.bsky.social of @mennsuke123.bsky.social 's character Raizo holding my hand. I love old dragon men.

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

White folks. Watch this. Twice if you have to. And don’t just listen to her. Understand what it is she is saying.

So, I've been trying to keep it together, but on New Year's my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Her treatment starts this week. She tells me she has insurance but since the year rolled over she has to pay a max out of pocket. Anything would help, please share if you can. ko-fi.com/voidgio

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor he’s the kind of guy they get training from the whole institution is rotten, throw it out
