Any deep thoughts and insights I acquire at the end of each episode of Evangelion, are completely erased, as that banger of a theme song springs into action when the next episode starts playing 😔

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

Webcomics are the Zines of Comics. Both in the OG "No barriers to entry: just print, copy, and staple"-sense, and the "Has blown up into a thing with professional/high-achieving expectations on it and now people think they have to be making polished/premium work in order for it to count"-sense.

I love how Whisper of the Heart makes ordinary life feel so magical and charming somehow. Maybe its the combination of the themes, music and that lovely classically Ghibli pacing and animation? I watch it whenever I want the mundane to feel beautiful. I want to make something like that one day~

Here's Chapter 2 of Incorrutible. Time for Revolution 🔥 Can you imagine going through your life assuming you would NEVER be allowed to have a say in politics, and then suddenly, at only 30 yrs old, getting the chance for that?? #incorruptiblecomic #robespierre #frenchrevolution #history

I bought Speak Up by Rebecca Burgess for kiddo on Monday at @portalbookshop.bsky.social Kiddo finished it tonight and declared it the best book they've ever read ♥️ Brilliant graphic novel about an autistic girl finding herself through music

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Organizers in LA are raising money to do tamale buyouts from local tamale vendors who are unable to safely vend on the street due to ICE kidnapping vendors. The tamales will be distributed to unhoused neighbors. Please consider donating — I personally vouch for this one: venmo.com?txn=pay&audi...

I feel like most of my followers know this but because I see a lot of cis folks who have a specific blind spot for it: This includes the theme park. I don't care if you want Butterbeer or want to get a wand or are already there so why not just walk in. It's all Her. Everything with the name is Her.

The four books flagged as inappropriate for school libraries are Blankets, Flamer, Fun Home, and Gender Queer. Folks in Alberta, Canada can share their opinion on book banning here before June 6: www.alberta.ca/school-libra...

“I agree with Nick.” Kill the industry, you say? That sounds tough for that industry. Which industry was that again? Oh. The stealing industry? Maybe killing that industry wouldn’t be such a bad thing? Considering it’s kind of a bad industry. Unlike the other one, which it’s currently killing.

Pins are on sale also but for some reason I didn’t mention that in this post. bozoroboshop.etsy.com/listing/9616...

In the most exciting creative news of my life, I can finally share what @rikworth.bsky.social and I have been hard at work at for the past year. PETS TELL TALES: ANCIENT EGYPT from @hachettechildrens.bsky.social will be on bookshelves in July & is available to preorder NOW! 👉 geni.us/PetsTellTales

I work for Scottish Book Trust and we’re running a survey for parents/teachers/kids book enthusiasts about how they find books for kids. I’d be enormously grateful if anyone can spare 5-10 mins to share their thoughts. #KidLitUK forms.office.com/e/EdVhWA0T0n

lol I sent a note to myself on WhatsApp, but my brain somehow forgot it was sent to myself, and I physically jumped when my message gave the blue doubletick right away, as if my brain was going "NO! They're online RIGHT NOW that means I'll have to respond right away!!"

The DVD had a deleted scene that was even more pointed. youtu.be/7L2ZY9UFj60?... They've been doing this ever since the original production.

I'm really excited to share this! Because times are so tough for queer people right now, I've started writing monthly Queer Love Letters. I'll email them out every month, as a way to inspire hope and healing. 🌈 They're free, just add your email here! 💌 sacredsaplingart.aweb.page/p/e3c2f62a-4...

AU if Sonic the Hedgehog were a Czech animation from the 1960s

lmao so I'm trying to set up a repayment plan with Utility Warehouse so that I'm not in any legal trouble while I contend a huge bill they sent me after an enormous f*ck up on their end.

Is there some kind of secret language/code I have to speak in if I want an energy company's help center to, um, actually help me? Like I almost feel like I'm being gaslit. Their reply emails look competent by themselves, but make zero sense against my emails, as if they've sent to the wrong person.

Found a baby songbird? Here's a newly updated chart!

honestly i'd be completely happy to go back to CDs / DVDs or whatever and have a significantly less convenient way of accessing music / tv if it meant artists got paid. it's insane how much convenience has fucked everything up

Tbh It's actually okay to suck at stuff you enjoy doing. You don't have to gear into competition or be the absolute best. Existing and having fun is just as worthwhile. You don't have to make money off it. You don't have to get published. You can literally just create it, fail, learn, and make more

Exciting opportunity for UK schools! Friends at @worldkidlit.bsky.social are launching a new award celebrating Reading For Pleasure with an international dimension. They would LOVE to hear from teachers and schools who are interested in being involved. Let them know if you'd like to hear more.

no notes

"There's no good art anymore" is such an upside down looney tunes ass opinion when we're surrounded by people making amazing shit all the time on here. There's no good art? Get better at searching. Good lord.

Would be great if the limits of my freedom of expression was just how much backlash I wanted to take before turning off comments on post, and not me weighing up if having a kid feel less isolated in their experiences is worth the possibility of having a librarian put in prison for stocking my book.

Love it when ppl with 'strong sense of justice to the freedom of expression' freely say what they want, and then decide to blame any critique freely said back to them...on a culture/group of ppl who are currently fighting against book bannings and the targeted erasure of their human rights in law.
