How do I convincingly ask for backers so that I can keep working on this? Hello I'm Nola, you may remember me from running WWAC for nearly a decade, and I'm teaching myself a new skillset! Please back my Patreon so that I can do things like eat food and pay bills!

The creator of He-Man is suffering from dementia and his wife had to set up a gofundme to fundraise despite the fact that Amazon MGM is releasing a multi-million dollar live action adaptation of the franchise this year www.gofundme.com/f/support-ro...

sorry

benches, buses, and bathrooms. they should be everywhere

Suggestion: rather than calling everyone but your direct friend group problematic, an easier way to be in community with others is to assume you don't know that much about other people's experiences. That way you say way, way less stupid shit and you alienate way, way less people.

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

did u know? if ten more people join sticker club, i can afford car insurance

...motivated by spite. The powers that be *want* your silence. And you're just going to *give* it to them?!? Fuck them! Get even *louder!* Trans it up, trans-style, my sister! Show them that they may take our rights, but they will never, ever take our *voices!!!*

First off, making things to share with others is fine, but you should really make things for *yourself.* Make the art you feel the world is missing, whether the audience is there or not. Make it for *you.* Secondly, and I say this with all seriousness, there has never been a better time to be...

bringing back shame and social sanction for being a bigoted asshole is good, actually

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

“Long ago I yearned to be a hero without knowing, in truth, what a hero was. Now, perhaps, I understand it a little better. A grower of turnips or a shaper of clay, a Commot farmer or a king--every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone." ~~THE HIGH KING Lloyd Alexander

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr 1. barely works 2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate) 3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

We are the sons of the monsters you couldn't mash.

when you love blorbo but blorbo is owned by one of the most evil conglomerates on earth but also the stuff made for blorbo is made by real people putting love and work into it but also they're probably underpaid but also they probably still wanna keep their jobs 😔

So the big studios are abandoning the US and turning the staff workers into contractors to get out paying for healthcare. The United States is losing one of its defining industries because of not having universal healthcare and the people are going to be even more vulnerable to the industry.

I will (whale) adapt A woven patch featuring stages of evolution of the whale, a reminder of resilience, change, and adaptation. A little reminder I found to be important, especially in these times. Available here: artofmaquenda.etsy.com/listing/4469...

Here’s just ONE of the artists Marvel Studios let go today: Wesley Burt, a brilliant veteran, one of the best in the industry. He made the viral Fantastic Four Valentine’s day card! He was also pivotal for the look of many films and shows like for example Loki, Black Panther, Avengers and so on!

Everyone keeps saying "serving cunt" and it's making me feel really old. I still call them waiters.

we love you neil! 🎶🐀 #myart

Want to be in a throuple. Not for love or anything, just need a Doordash driver and a backup Doordash driver in case I get sick when I'm elderly and the US still doesn't have universal healthcare.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

One hopes images like this, when paired with the knowledge that everything we burn ends up in that tiny slice of gasses, would help contextualize why we need to move away from energy sources we set on fire. One hopes. Climate communicators should make some hay of this.

We didn't deserve this day.

Photos of Iran I recently discovered from scanning old negatives. I am full of so much grief and anger. I don’t have the right words.

I haven’t seen this bop here yet.

Today is a good day to remember that Carl Sagan was as outspoken about the dangers of war and nuclear weapons as he was an advocate of space exploration.

"I can not believe America has becom--" bitch, we have Andrew Jackson on our money. our default money. the only money the bank robot knows how to hand out.

Really tired and frustrated watching folks talk about how a nuclear strike or its destructive equivalent to Iran would endanger Americans. people are people. Iranian children are just as vulnerable and just as beloved as ours. Iranians have as many dreams and hopes and gifts as we do.

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

New shot of the Moon taken only a few hours ago by the Artemis II crew! More of the lunar far side coming into view :-D flic.kr/p/2s676GN

Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.

"Transformers One: Combaticon Onslaught" Isn't sure why Megatron calls him "Pax" sometimes and is too afraid to ask. (Reposts appreciated as always! :D)

A few years ago I was asked to be a small part of Project Hail Mary. This is a selection of designs from my first few passes on Rocky, our main directive was to find interesting ways to play with asymmetry, silhouette and texture while I took some attempts to imbue ways to depict culture
