My online closed captioning and subtitle editing portfolio now has a dedicated page for reading about commissioning closed captions for your own video projects (so now you don't have to go to tumblr to read about it anymore). If I can help you with a project, let's talk!

“last fall I had this idea for a zine about Dilbert quitting his job and trying to learn to be happy and coming to terms with the fact that he’s trans actually” (posted 4/18/2022)

The Lost Generation of Angels

I already got angry at this months ago and while Im STILL filled with rage, YOU, the reader can still do something about it. PBS is still alive and can benefit from YOUR support via their passport program where you can watch hard-hitting documentaries and movies. Its not over. www.thirteen.org

Did you know that for five bucks a month you get access to the PBS passport streaming app which has tons of incredibly good shows and documentaries and things and it helps support their funding?

This is what I like seeing in Indie Animation: not JUST broadcast-quality animation (though there's some of that here too)! I want to see ideas, concepts and characters that are crazy, dynamic, touching, bold and fun! I wanna feel like new shit is possible and EL GUAPO fucking delivers 🔥🔥❤️😤

Satya Nadella even *acknowledging* the word “slop” feels like another mile marker for genAI’s downward trajectory. Complaining about people using it only makes the word stronger.

First of all, no there is due-process. The people making these decisions are not infallible and have constantly *ate shit* in court. They are historical, factual losers. Second of all, VERY funny to use this image of Mark Kelly as if he isn't the sort of guy who has been WAITING to be fucked with.

"What's problematic is that the character is explicitly designed to draw our eyes to her large breasts. They're exposed, they're jiggling, they're disproportionate. They're immediately striking. They're part of a lolicon fantasy, drawn to appeal to people who are interested in lolicon fantasies."

Im honestly surprised this hasn't been done yet. But yeah, priorities of running a city and all.

I genuinely believe that toxic behaviors are contagious, and it takes some unlearning. But wholesome and kind behaviors are contagious, too.

once again encouraging you all to support billionaire-free, worker-run, independent newsrooms how and where you are able

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

Trump tried to murder Congress in an Auto-Coup.

i think furries should start being more freaky honestly. so it can scare normies and reactionaries away

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

If you’re a Dem leader you need to do a CTRL+F and replace “condemn” with “convict” otherwise I don’t give a shit about what you have to say

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

EIRU was such a great short! I would love to sit with a series like this. Cartoon Saloon is one of the only few animation studios that completely gets that vibe that Studio Ghibli is known for and just runs with it. I rrally hope EIRU gets the love it deserves ❤️🔥

I’ve had porn deepfakes made of me since long before genAI existed, and am (sadly) very unphased by it at this point, but I do strongly agree with this sentiment. These men don’t do it to jerk off to - they do it as a means of ‘digital rape’. If anything, they jerk off to knowing you don’t consent.

Destroying a country for short term profit seems to be the point, unfortunately. It's despicable that our oligarchs are doing this to avoid economic disaster, when they could just jump off their skyscrapers and save us all the trouble

To compound the stupidity, it's important to understand that Venezuela's oil is not economically viable. It's a lower grade than oil found elsewhere, and it requires special machinery. Venezuela had that, but it's fallen into disrepair. The cost of transporting it elsewhere to refine is pyrrhic.

I tried!

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well: go.bsky.app/8daQmpX

Not sure how bad the deepfake problem is? Read Stella's farewell thread. This is an extreme form of remote sexual harassment that can now be used to target anyone, regardless of platform, in seconds. Despite news stories focusing mostly on CSAM it's still unchecked and rampant on Twitter.

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

The steady drumbeat of fascism and the ineptitude of establishment Dems have caused you to feel hopeless daily for a year. That fear has become normal now. And that is the goal of Project 2025. But make no mistake, you are worthy of happiness and a better future. You are allowed to hope.

Gonna be real, you dont need AI at all. Not with references, not with ideas, not to help you brainstorm, nothin. Not in games and especially NOT animation. You dont need an ass-pat machine to help you and your brain. Ask someone who you trust to give you proper feedback without crushing you.

Trying times. But this still happened. We are still going to win, if we keep fighting side by side.

This is why you labeling your stuff as not containing AI is so crucial: because those who do, know it's a bad look, but also know they can and will get busted if they lie, so they simply don't. It sucks but we aren't the default right now. Labeling takes a load off everyone's mind 😌

Did it? He ate shit on National Guard deployments, ate shit on Kilmar Abrego Garcia and Rumeysa Ozturk and William Giménez González and others, and is so radioactive politically the 2025 elections had historic D overperformance bsky.app/profile/neat...

He doesn't have the juice, and won't have the popularity Even if the actuarial tables were still on his side (they aren't), folks forget he got mollywhopped in 2020 Voters liked the idea of electing Trump, but never like his governing bsky.app/profile/pete...

Democrat leaders on this platform want you to believe they are the party of resistance while supporting genocide, rubber stamping Trump's nominees, folding on trans rights, using far-right rhetoric about migrants, working with mass surveillance companies, getting mad they weren't in on a coup.

Anti-war march in NYC, organized overnight. Happening right now, 8th Ave. People care.

Well, it was either all this or another black person in a Star Wars movie

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

Good example of what every elected Dem and candidate should be saying loudly right now:

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Tarnished Silver Lining: Trump is definitely about to die if they're rushing him into **** like this.

It's illegal for the president to relieve student loan debt. It's completely fine for the president to unilaterally decide to have the head of a foreign nation black bagged on foreign soil.

when I think of what culture I come from as a white north american cis-woman.... It really has settled just into. 'colonizer culture.' The mindset of stealing, of appropriating, of replacing..all covered in civility politics, polite language and civil tones to downplay it.
