I'll randomly remember Threads exists, hop on and immediately realize my feed is all age-related engagement bait. Every post begins with something like "I'm in my late 30s and..." It feels like "Oops! All Algorithm" but it's only using your location and age data.

Satoshi Kon was a master filmmaker -- and a master storyboarder. His detailed sketches were blueprints for his movies. Take Millennium Actress. He spent nine months boarding it alone, on a quest to make a great film with a small budget. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-satosh...

I wish I lived in a society that respected the knowledge of teachers, scientists, and doctors rather than CEOs, politicians, and podcast comedians.

It’s overwhelming to think about how neither the place I live (both country in general and city itself) nor the industry I make my living in exist in the same way that they did 3 years ago and it’s hard to know what I’m supposed to be doing on an day to day or hour to hour basis some days.

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]

We should first recognize that gender codes are socially constructed. Clothing is not inherently masculine or feminine—codes are contextual and can change over time. Aristocratic men once wore bright red heels. Then they became womenswear until that notion was challenged again.

A painting of King Louis XIV of France. He's wearing an opulent outfit made of furs, lace, and gold. He's also wearing white buckled shoes with a high red heel.

A close-up of the white buckled shoes with a high-red heel. There appears to be a red lace at the top of the shoes.

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop. I want our World Wide Web back.

My first #PortfolioDay on bluesky✨ Hi! I'm Anya. I draw colorful and detailed fantasy illustrations. I hope to find some work in cover designs, book illustrations or anything that might suit my style. You can check my portfolio through this link: anyachalina.myportfolio.com

"The Mage". A colorful illustration with a large frog on the left side with bubbles coming out of its mouth. There's a praying mantis at the center looking at a bubble and the mage on the right side accepting the bubbles from the frog. The background is blue and has two sun-shaped windows.

A person is riding a horse holding a crystal in their hands. They wear a curved purple hat with golden decorations on the hat. They wear a purple cape with some sun and crescent-themed jewels. The horse is dusty-pink and wears a decorated armor. Patterned blankets are hanging from its back. The horse is standing in shallow water. There are some lamps floating on the water and some boats in the background. There are two pink mountains in the background, the sky is lit with stars. There's a decorated arch above the person and the horse.

"The Royal Manticore". A scene with a large creature in the center of the image. They are what I imagine a manticore to look in the world where they exist. Their body is covered with long black hair and they walk on four arms. There is a person sitting on the Manticore. There are other people around the creature preparing it for departure. The room has a yellow wall with some murals on it and some bubbles floating above the floor.

This illustration is about a father and his daughter. The father is placed in the center of the illustration. Their proportions are exaggerated. They wear a blue-white decorated outfit with some red details. They hug their daughter who is wearing a light pink robe and hugs the feather. There are tiles on the wall and steps and some rug on the floor. There's an arch in the center with a view of mountains. There's a red egg-shaped object on the right with a blue heart inside. Father's beard connects to the heart. There's a pool filled with red water and some lily pads floating above it. There's oriental shorthair cat on the right looking at the extended hand of the father. There's a bow aiming at heart with a shadow hand holding it.
