Also, there's no fucking need to produce art faster. It's not food. If an animated movie, or a book, or a music album takes five years to make, then so be it. "We need to make it faster" is a capitalistic mindset, and it's there to benefit the owners of corporations, not the workers/customers.

For @shapelessink.bsky.social, a block print version of his most viral piece 💜

A print of a transfem sheep woman, Amelia, pointing a gun at the viewer. In a speech bubble she says “GET WRITING, BITCH. INFINITE WORLDS CRY OUT TO BE BORN, AND YOU ARE TO BE A GOD.”

I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you

Listen, he's corny, but he's been standing on business his entire career because he appears to actually believe the things he says he believes. If you have less moral conviction than the "Thrift Shop" guy, you should consider being less of a waste of space and fix your heart.

My stitch-the-news diary takes up most of my crafting energy these days, but this weekend's road trip from Madison to Detroit and back for my kid's soccer games left me enough down time to finally finish embroidering the hedgehog I started back in May.

learning to effectively withhold information is a skill, and a valuable one. plus, you can't figure out your style & preferences (not some reader's preferences. *yours*) if you're too afraid to explore, assess, & learn. get your hands dirty!

I think about this at least a dozen times a day.

people end up unable to see depiction as anything other than endorsement when their entire cultural diet is escapist fun and reassurance. they see something make them uncomfortable and can only assume people are watching horrible shit as vicarious pleasure and are horrified.

"Inside its box the veil was luminous, as if infused with moonlight. It was easy to believe that its maker was inhuman — no deft matriarch could have woven something so fine. It slipped, watery, between Iris’s fingers as she lifted it from its case. A faint whispering emanated from its folds."
