"Imagine if Texas had a database of everyone who looked at LGBTQ resources, or looked up how to get an out-of-state abortion. Imagine if ICE had information about which users could not provide a form of ID. Anonymity is going to die if we allow age verification to become the future of the internet.”

Starting mid-September at Chicano Hollywood Academy. Which means it’s crunch time to wrap up edits on #NightshiftNightingales before classes kick in. Feels like the perfect next step to sharpen the craft while pushing my own stories forward. 👻✍️ #IndieFilm #Filmmaking #LatinxCreatives

Can anyone guess what city I'm in by the unfinished #sketch?

Anyone else watching The Residence on Netflix? 🕵️‍♀️ So good! I’ve been picking up autistic / neurodivergent vibes in Cordelia Cupp. #FilmSky #TVSky #RepresentationMatters

Rocking the research this morning for my book about Gamers/Nerds navigating the workplace. Revelation: managers can be like Navi from Ocarina of Time, always with the “Hey! Listen!” The tutorial that never ends. #Gaming #WorkplaceVibes

Saw this Omnilux ad rolling through town, a beauty ad bathed in ominous red light. Inviting? Nah, I'm not into a Black Mirror spa day. My latest AD-TIQUE: how even well-executed visuals can send the wrong vibe. When it says dystopia, the audience feels it. #ADTIQUE #BlackMirror #CreativeDirection

Anyone who knows me might think I'm extroverted. Loud, lively, people-loving. But after years of therapy, I learned: I’m actually an #introvert. Not shy, just someone who thrives in low-stimulation, focused environments. An old TED Talk still relevant today: youtu.be/c0KYU2j0TM4?...

Sing-up for this tutorial! Big ups to Tribeca for spotlighting their partnership with Canva. I use Canva all the time, especially when building pitch decks. It's my go-to when I'm scheming a new creative stuff. docs.google.com/form... #FilmSky #Creatives #Canva

“Evergreen content” started as SEO speak. Meant stuff like: FAQs, How-to’s, Tutorials. Not entertaining. Not emotional. Not impactful. Maybe it should be now? With AI flooding everything, the challenge is making something that lasts. Emotional. Entertaining. Impactful.

I just rediscovered Alex Niño. He was to Mulan what Amano is to Final Fantasy. He's why that movie feels different. Epic. He also worked on Heavy Metal, Matrix Reloaded, DC & Marvel’s weirdest corners. A Filipino legend. #AlexNiño #Animation #ConceptArt #FilmSky PDF: drive.google.com/fil...

FX dropped a new soccer docuseries: Necaxa. Looks 🔥. Tho, I didn’t hear about it from Hulu. I heard about it on LinkedIn. From Ryan Reynolds. I’ve watched all of Wrexham, Reservation Dogs, This Fool. Hulu. Check yo algorithm! youtu.be/AfBC7NoH2Xk... #Necaxa

Saw this courier bike ad, QR on the back of a box, blurring through traffic. Problem? You’d need to sprint like I did just to maybe scan it. Can we make this better? Here’s my take on how I’d fix it. Did we nail it? Marketing brainiacs, weigh in 👇 #marketing #design #nonoNYC

A year ago, we sent a video to legislators. It wasn’t meant to go viral, it was meant to pass legislation. And it did. But now? Lelo, who stood with us, just self-deported. So much can change in a year. God bless you, brother. 🎥 youtu.be/1CQ5HjuuLP4... Lelo: www.foodjustice.org/... #immigration

I marched with Lelo when we pushed for farmworker rights--and we won. Seeing him now forced to leave the country for wanting basic human dignity? Unreal. He’s a hero. We can’t forget people like him. www.foodjustice.org/... #immigration #farmworkers #socialjustice

My haiku to you, Late Show... R.I.P. Colbert Show. Hate to see you fade away. I’ll catch you live soon.

This is the darkest timeline.

I made this cartoon with @nononathaniel.bsky.social after celebrating Pride last week. It's a hard time for all of us but especially for the youth. If I can say one thing, it's this: You will outlast him. You will get the last word, the last laugh, the last cry. #ProtectTransKids #ScaredPresident

I got 9 out of 10 right. I got one wrong? There might be a time when I get'em all wrong. Give it a shot and lemme know what your score is: www.nytimes.com/interactive/... #ai #aislop #dystopia

This--just made my day! E-poooooo-naaaaaa!

New Captain America on the scene. Yes, homie. For reals.

Trump invoked a rarely used provision that allows for the deployment of the Nat Guard if there is a rebellion against the U.S. gov. @nytimes.com: “No such rebellion is underway. …Americans in cities routinely cause more property damage after their sports teams win or lose.”

"Public space has always reflected who a society thinks matters. For centuries, it reflected rich, white men. Now, for a few weeks, it reflects someone else, and the internet can’t handle it.... This new statue doesn’t erase anyone. It just joins the conversation.... And frankly, it’s about time."

Dear #NcutiGatwa, in just two seasons of #DrWho, you have done so much. You helped us remember to play, even in hard times. You showed us how to love, even those who don't love us back. And you taught us what it looks like to shine so bright that everyone around you lights up a little more, too.

This song is an absolute banger and has the perfect video and I don’t think enough people know about it. So: you’re welcome. youtu.be/Uu_kBTbbulQ?...

Friday Night Partaayyyy! This is how we doooo people: 3D modeling and watching a Pee Wee Herman documentary! [[Signal blow horns]] WOMP WOMP! #latenightpartynight

First gaming console? #gamingsky #gaming

How is this not going to theaters?!

😀I was just reading about Mary Anning's epic discoveries in my kid's book. I had no clue! 🤯Homegirl is worth knowing. Best recognize: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_An...

Gorgeous panels from an epic illustrator. Artist funding hardships have been around since the beginning, and now made worse by #AISlop. When I see illos like this, it makes me wish we had a better funding model for great art. It's truly what the people want--moving and shaking the soul.

I love Pedro. Period.

🚨Today is May Day — a global day of worker resistance. These historic protests are led by May Day Strong - a coalition of workers, immigrants, students, and grassroots organizers from across the country. 50501 is not the sole organizer, we are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with May Day Strong.

Happy May Day

Ok I am completely broken by this. The Hague and UN need to see this. #Texas

Contrary to the pundit class’ insistence, someone talking to you on public transit has been so reviled for so long there was a painting about it 150 years ago

Thank you to all our free press who ARE covering the People’s Movement!

Now more than ever it's time to rise up and support our farm workers. ICE is ruthless and anti-American. They need to be removed. Farm workers and immigrants deserve better support and care across this country. 🙏 #immigration #freelelo #farmworkers

Today is my birthday and also day 19 of being in the hospital with a severe illness. I'm going to be greedy and wish for 2 things for my birthday: to have a full recovery, and for as many folks to see my artwork as possible today. 💚 Care to give this a repost to make that second wish come true?

Happy #MAR10 day. The fam will be gaming today on Mario Wonder to celebrate. Here's some illustrations I made on-the-low for tees I mostly make for myself. (I need to get them back on my Redbubble storefront. Maybe this is the year.)
