Google earth has updated its satellite images of Gaza. The destruction is almost incomprehensible.

Can't stop thinking about how younger generations seem to create new history for eras they weren't adults for and lack the proper context for. Blogs were quite popular, podcasts were a niche interest, and wiki has always been a useful tool that you still can't directly cite as a source.

Since I think it's been online on YouTube long enough and I don't think I'm gonna get more than the $5-6 from it from the last few years of views, and the fact there's longer uploads here on Bluesky now, here's the entirety of my short film 'Snif & Snüf'. Watch and enjoy!

With Bluesky's new upload limit I can finally share some music videos I've been holding onto for mostly copywrite reasons. Here's one of the beloved series Sublo and Tangy Mustard by @aaronlong.bsky.social Go check out their series as it dang hits close to home as a fellow colonized canadian.

Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.

Pixar's Layoffs Came Days After Receiving a $26 Million Tax Credit. So I Wrote California Officials.

State tax incentives should create and retain jobs for Californians, not subsidize corporate layoffs.

Art tip: don't share everything you draw. Draw things you never intend to show anyone. Your brain needs time to just exist in a state that's not about performing for strangers. This used to be the normal way to exist before social media poisoned us.

I don't get it when there's some obviously shitty new movie and people are like "oh nooo I guess we all have to watch this and discuss it." unless you're getting paid to be a critic, just ignore it. you don't have to give slop the respect of your attention.

the Monkey Wrench Netflix deal is really cool, congrats to @zeurel.bsky.social @ockeroid.bsky.social and the whole team! the blurrier the lines get between indie and "real show" the better imo

when a board scene feels off, I do everything I can to avoid reboarding. I know it's part of the process, but even with my scribbly-ass Sublo boards it's annoying. I try little bandaid fixes first, like tweaking the timing of the cuts... but that can just prolong the pain.

I hate that storyboards have become expected to be final clean animation poses with breakdowns in perfect perspective. this is not how it was supposed to be. let the animators animate! (I say as both a boarder and an animator)

I finally read Taiyo Matsumoto's Tekkonkinkreet manga. I loved the film version and his later manga but this was my first time seeing his early style. He got more refined later on, but even here there's a sense of total confidence and naturalism.
