I miss raaaaaiiiin

Bought a lottery ticket cuz it seems like the only slim slim slim chance for any hope of survival in the long run??? Dats where da brain is right now anyways.

The Burbank butt-sniffer arrested again!

the porn bots are weird on bluesky cuz they have to front as compassionate real ppl for engagement and hope ppl stumble towards their pages

Mango is still looking for a home! Please signal boost! Her original owner has now very unfortunately passed away.

“Human Footprint” on PBS Passport has been one of my favorites shows I’ve binged since reupping my subscription. Shane Campbell-Staton is such a great host!!! Two seasons to check out! Do it!

i've been watching too many disaster/storm documentaries and now my anxiety is just vibrating at a low level constantly... whoooops

I forgot my hoodie at home so hot drinks at work all day it is!

Finally finished a thing!!!! (until the next round of notes anyways….) Now I gotta learn clip studio to start a new thing that I’m behind on… 🥲

Someone at work saw me in my tmnt technodrome jacket and said “now that is *A* jacket.” And I think it was positive but unsure… I just replied “it is!” Idk man.

PBS Passport is worth so much more than it's $60 donation for a year of a huge library of series, documentaries, and indie films! (Or $5 a month!) Currently, PBSSoCal is also offering gifts with extra donations! www.pbssocal.org/support/donate

thinking about tattoos again.... but I've already gotten three this year... 🥲

I can't believe Peacock took down Murder, She Wrote. I was only on like Season 5!!!!

Awkward morning of trying to catch a different elevator up that doesn’t include the person hacking up a lung but ppl kept holding the door for others so stairs it was. Cmon, stay home if you’ve got such a bad cough I don’t want to share an elevator. Cmon.

Nothing I hate more than being woken up by a mosquito buzzing in your ear.

I LOVE this book and think it should be required reading in schools.

OKAY WOW looks like a real bad news day so i'm logging off. take care of yourselves friends. ❤️

wait... Michelin stars are awarded by the Michelin TIRE company???? i feel conflicted now about taking food recs from a man made out of tires... (not that I've ever eaten at any starred place)

Randomly just remembering you forgot a hook up in the storyboard you turned in two weeks ago… 🫠 why brain give little tortures like that?!!!!

We all needed this good Mamdani news

No earthquake bluesky popping off? Did I imagine it?

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to bluesky

cannot wrap my mind around this hellscape timeline we’re caught in

i don't want to say too much cuz *gov* but my dad went and put out protest signs along the highway in my tiny hometown of ~800 people. ✊ No Kings!

I cannot draw muscle ppl lord help me. How triceps work???

today was a bust 😩

Finally got a new (previously owned) ergonomic office chair for home set-up and retired my $65 cheap amazon chair I bought in 2015 which was only useable with approximately 5 throw pillows on it. Actually NICE to sit at my desk now?! (and by desk I mean ikea kitchen table... One purchase at a time!)

Animation community! Help out and share if you can!

Obligatory name plate photo for 1st day!

Bad news first: Today is my two year anniversary of no full time work. I've hit some really low points over this time... plenty of shower cries. I've been lucky to have drips of freelance but nothing even remotely sustainable. The GOOD news is I am lucky to be starting a storyboard job next week!

see a story about an animation voice actor wanting a cut from their character's halloween costume merch sales and how about instead a cut to the fcking artist that actually designed that "costume"??!!??

had to upgrade my phone finally and decided instead of buying a case, i'm just going to slap stickers on it and keep layering them as I go... good idea bad idea?! Let's find out!

new tattoo alert! Black Rabbit of Inlé jumping over my elbow butt.

Is it happening? I think it's happening... *SCREAMS*

Sotheby's is having an Animation Benefit auction and an OG SpongeBob cel is up there that's a hot meme. So interested to see how much this goes for....

a good but sobering read

Had a nice surprise Easter dinner with our neighbors and their whole family! But also an 8 year old told us “the annoying thing about Max is they take down all the shows I’m watching with zero warning!” Like unprompted aside from knowing we work in animation.

fondly thinking of these tasty bad boys that i cannot have because apparently i am old and my body did not appreciate my lack of control of putting these on everything

if you haven't played The Plucky Squire yet, you're missing out on absolutely delightful animation like this!!! Go play and then also hire Dan for your own game animation!

Listening to Baby Bash's "Cyclone" Me circa 2007 - twerking and tipsy in the club Me circa 2025 - nodding head in the car to the radio "that must mean she rotates clockwise"

i'm still perplexed by the knowledge that there is/are other Yooper TAG 839 members out there. Based on a car with Negotiation Solidarity window paints and Yooper bumper stickers I saw like a year or more ago. WHO ARE YOU?! #missedconnection?

randomly went to tumblr and discovered a message that someone got my TMNT Raph art tattooed!!! I'm so honored!

no foolin' - eat the fucking rich

Was going to watch some nature documentary on Peacock but I can't tell if this last thumbnail is a glitch or April Fool's joke? I think that's from Suits LA? Maybe?

it's fine. everything's fine 🙃

I love my trans friends and will fight anyone who doesn't

took a couple weeks away from social media to try and clear my brain of the doom and gloom of da biz and the world. still outta spoons but better now. thank you to everyone that said kind things and reached out. 💚

i try hard to tell the difference between the squirrels that visit our yard. The easy one is Spot, who has an interesting circle of white fur on his tail. He doesn't like sharing the yard and chases everyone else out. Then I got Big Balls who is a scrawny lil dude but named accordingly.
