Do you have a favorite #Digimon? 🤔 Charms coming soon!

I am an incredibly patient person, especially with children and letting them do what they like. But I gotta say, my 7 yo nephew watches such boring videos 😩 I legit wish he’d watch cartoons instead… but he watches these YT channels for Minecraft, among us, etc? And Minecraft makes me sick 🥲

Leave little Saruman alone.

I'm starting a YouTube channel of "xyz ending explained" where every video is just me saying "Actually watch it without looking at your phone and then you won't need the ending explained"

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Autumn Leaf 3 Watercolour, approximately 80 × 132 mm. I lost my way with this one. The extent of the rust spots were paving my way to overworking even without my own blundering, and I of course walked merrily -- and then tearfully -- right into it. 1/3

Sadly, all the Learn Blender people were right. You couldn't pay me to go back to Maya or 3Ds Max. And I couldn't pay me either, because their license costs are insane Support Blender today!!!

Cool. How much time and money is the production team getting?

This tweet from Jesse Hamm changed the way I saw my art, eternally grateful for his wisdom

I'm still working with these two families in Gaza. The "ceasefire" has barely made an improvement and both families are living in dire situations that lack warmth and shelter. Winter is approaching, which is the rainy season--not suitable for living in tents. bit.ly/HelpWardasFamily bit.ly/help4iman
