Ian Shade @ianshade.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I know that my praise is very effusive and frequent, but it's rare to find an artist whose work is so exciting, that I want to share so consistently. Thank you for all of your hard work! 120
Ian Shade @ianshade.bsky.social · 23/09/2026While I'm singing praises, do you need me to tell you, yet again, that Dan is the best? The composition and portraiture here are beyond compare. 110
Ian Shade @ianshade.bsky.social · 23/09/2026This December will mark twenty years since Bill took me on at FFC. In that time--and long past that time--he did far more than what anybody could possibly ask in helping a guy figure out what he wanted out of life. Thank you, Bill. Get well soon. @flmfrkcentral.bsky.social 020
Ian Shade @ianshade.bsky.social · 23/09/2026And she had told me that Bill described me on glowing terms: "very humble, a bit of a perfectionist, and that you had never met." I emailed and thanked him, but y'know, if you want to talk about humble... And, anyway, getting that job helped facilitate my escape/estrangement the following year. 110
Ian Shade @ianshade.bsky.social · 23/09/2026So I think we were both relieved that I wanted out. (He called it a Mexican standoff, and yeah.) But when I went in for that interview, five years later, the editor mentioned contacting Bill--something that I wasn't expecting, given that I had known her and the paper for that long. 110
Ian Shade @ianshade.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Now, I think the best way to my departure from FFC is "amicable enough," because I was struggling to evolve my writing, fighting off-and-on depression, and my work for the site in that last year had been intermittent and frankly unreadable. Bill had told me as much--in a very kind and concerned way. 110
Ian Shade @ianshade.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The editor was, is, my classmate's mother. She contacted me directly because they had an editorial assistant position open, and--not having contact for ten years--of course she wanted references too. Not having much employment history, I had already been listing Bill, unbidden. 110
Ian Shade @ianshade.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Please send Bill some kindness during his recovery. Story I've never told: a full *five years* after I left FFC, I was aimless, living at home, newly aware of my father's narcissism, in therapy, looking for work; listed as a reference an old critic job that I'd had from high school from a classmate. 141

Ian Shade @ianshade.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Also "hey [ostensibly serious AI mechanism], what if [pop culture pop culture] [mild irreverence]?" is now several years out of date, and maybe that speaks more to personal bankruptcy, and your willingness to treat the mechanism like the magic machine that AI proponents see it/want you to see it as 000
Ian Shade @ianshade.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Using AI as the next phase of screencap dunk culture is really the only place left for it to go, insofar that the destructive cost will be more tangible, more number-crunchable, than the abstract dissemination of right-wing garbage through sarcastic contradiction. 100
