“Be Strong enough to be gentle.” Peter Cullen tells the story of how his brother inspired the voice he would use to play Optimus Prime. It’s a simple yet poignant quote that sums up why Optimus and Peter are so beloved. Til All Are One. 💔

Here's to all the Minnesotans working in the school district who are just trying to keep our kids and families safe. The stress is constant and the job is thankless. My heart goes out to you. #ICEoutmpls #ICEoutcomics

Gargoyles had a solid fanbase when it was airing. But over thirty years later, its greatest legacy lies in it being proof that if you tell kids stories in a way that respects their ability to comprehend not only plot but sincere emotion, they'll embrace your work forever.

A very important read, this one is - in regards to both the history of the medium itself and how political actions can affect our wider culture.

Pretty good thread! Everyone should add women’s contributions to genres! I’ll add Keiko Nobumoto, who was the head writer on Cowboy Bebop and absolutely essential to why its so damn good.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

While it remains unfinished, recreating Yoshitaka Amano’s work on the walls of @lodestonecg.bsky.social will be one of my all time favorite chalk drawing’s I got to do for a Magic set release. Stop by this week to pick up some Magic: The Gathering X Final Fantasy this weekend while supplies last.
