This whole section really.

I made my second model! This is a Hasegawa 1/72 scale F6F Hellcat, painted with mostly Tamiya paints. I'm quite proud of that dark blue color I mixed up! #ScaleModeling #ModelAircraft #Aircraft #WWII #Tamiya #Hasegawa

I painted this Japanese 'Oscar' fighter! I see many mistakes in it, but it's a learning experience. My next one will be better 😁 #ScaleModeling #Aviation #ModelAirplane #Crafting #Hasegawa #Tamiya

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

I'm back on bluesky after a long break. Here's a beetle I drew over a year ago. It's still the best marker-work I've ever done: #Art #Entomology #Markers #TraditionalArt

Hey y'all. My wife and I are in a tight spot. I feel bad having to do this, but it is what it is. If y'all are able to help out it would be greatly appreciated, as would sharing. www.gofundme.com/f/help-keep-...

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

Every day a little part of me remembers and is angry about what happened to Isabel Fall for daring to write something so deeply human in the attack helicopter story

Dianne Jackson mastered the art of turning illustrations into animation. She did it in her film The Snowman, in the Peter Rabbit series and more. Millions know Jackson's work, but few know about her. Our new issue tells the story of this great artist: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-unsung...

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility, everyone!

just found out about a new kind of movie called a "ghibli" which is a kind of japanese cartoon about grass. i hope we can get computers to make as many of these as possible

Shoutout to this standee I saw at mall of america 10 years ago

'Mars Attack - How Elon Musk's Plans for Mars Threaten Earth' This is a really great read, and presented in the scroll storytelling format (I love this style). By Dr Kelly Weinersmith & @zachweinersmith.bsky.social (who wrote the excellent 'A City on Mars' book) thebulletin.org/2025/03/mars...

RPGs are a form of art that is welcoming to people of every skill level. "But my map is bad!" "But my dungeon is kinda boring." WRONG. We're not talking about putting out albums, we're talking about singing around a campfire with a friend who has a guitar. Fun is the focus, not production quality.

worrier cats

me in a nutshell

yes i'm a luddite. anyone who knows the history of luddites would tell you that's only a pejorative among fools.

no joke though this is what art is all about..... transcending the boundaries of specific human experience to unite in the embrace of universal human emotion

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Guess we need to do a demonstration to remind them, all who threw the first bricks. Happy to be the one to show em.

this is heartbreaking rest in peace elisa

Poem for the week: "For M," by Mikko Harvey.

Btw; just to break toxic fanboys brains: here is Gene Roddenberry literally saying he wished he had gay sex and wishing that he was nonbinary.

It's incredible to watch a master artist work. So, in this issue, we bring together clips of the greats practicing their crafts -- Hayao Miyazaki using watercolors and beyond: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/watching-m...

Hayao Miyazaki's short guide to watercolor painting -- we put this translation together a couple of years ago

This may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we COULD ask Mothra for help

And, this is crucial, CHILDREN HAVE BODILY AUTONOMY TOO! They're not objects owned by their parents. They get to decide what happens to their bodies, too. They get to determine what happens to their bodies. Other folks can guide them, sure, but kids are sentient. They're not pets.

Bodily autonomy means bodily autonomy. Full stop. Your body belongs to you and nobody else gets to decide what you do to it. Have an abortion. Take HRT. Have sex for money. Have sex for free. Have no sex at all. Gain weight. Lose weight. Get a tattoo. What's right for you is your right.

I will not stop being weird I will not stop being queer I will not stop being trans I will not stop supporting those like me I’m not going anywhere no matter what wrinkled sack up at the top thinks they can take away my right to exist and spread joy. #transrightsarehumanrights

This idea we keep hearing from AI tech bros that making art is a miserable process they’re going to “free” us from is just more misanthropic fascistic nonsense.

I want a softer, better, gentler, more understanding and kind world for transgender people/critters and I want it now

A real thing that happened to me in 1996

I feel this one

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY
