anyway, now it is time for me to get back to looking into finishing my bachelor’s, as the degree could make immigrating easier. not that i am wanting to leave my family behind, but having the option cant hurt.

i could do without the assholes, upon seeing US animation people in despair over their livelihoods with the skydance merger, commenting on how animation everywhere else is fine. just say you are okay with leaving us to die, like be honest. nice solidarity. amazing really.

you may have noticed that animation has never been more in-demand & in the zeitgeist and yet, seemingly, never have media conglomerates been less willing to produce it. you may also notice these guys get multimillion dollar severance packages after they gut a studio. there is probably no connection

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

we already knew that the US was willing to let Los Angeles get destroyed by the reaction to our deadly wildfires so like whatevs, i think Iran is smarter than to do his dirty work for him.

identity is important for teens and young adults because they are trying to figure out who they are but we give them bad ideas on what that actually means: who you are is what you do and how you treat others.

unfortunately learned a thing that happened in my absence: progressive spaces still suck bad for SA victims because people dont want their guy to also face consequences.

I try to only give people advice when they ask for it from me, but most people usually dont want my opinion on things and that’s why I am here, yapping.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: on the set of the Jerry Springer show, a man sits in a chair. Jerry signals off-stage and says, “we have with us: your ancestor who crawled out of the ocean 375 million years ago!” Panel 2: the live studio audience is booing. Panel 3: security attempts to break up a fight between the man on stage, and his ancestor, a tiktaalik.

the first thing that i flinched and avoided watching on repeat vhs viewings. i watched everything else in Fantasia without that much anxiety, including night on bald mountain, y’know with the skeletons, ghosts, and demons? but shambling forms in darkness? much fear.
remember the opening sequence of Disney’s Fantasia that was just like an abstract music visualizer? And there was the kinda dark sinister type music with the flashes of fire like shapes in black and then this shambling form with steps matching a deep descending scale? yeah, that scared me.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

people like my parents or people back home often ask me if the reason why the industry is being killed in slow motion is due to AI, and it's a 15 minute long conversation to understand the real reasons why, at the heart of which are: people who own TV don't make TV and don't want to make TV

Sad that I won't live to see men not be fucked up about women. It's actually easy to not be fucked up like that. But few men have the courage to stand against other men.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

It's another #TerribleComicTuesday and someone really ought to do something about that thing
Line drawn digital comic. The first scene shows the artist looking upwards with her hand shading her eyes, squinting at something far above her. The second scene depicts some kind of unfathomable horror, a monumental flat rectangular pillar covered with uncomfortable staring eyes, and edged with gritted grinding teeth, screaming and dripping slight trails of saliva on the ground, while the artist is tiny and insignificant in comparison. The caption reads "Getting real sick of this colossal unholy screaming pillar of agony"

I might actually not get to take Curbstomper out to the wasteland this year and that actually makes me sad for real...
A black and white drawing of me as a Mad Max character with a dog companion, having just painted on angry eyebrows and teeth onto a Honda Fit. it makes it intimidating.

The saga of the new tires for Curbstomper the Honda Fit while a pain in the ass, has made it clear that i am very tuned into my car from feel and sound, tho i dont understand initially what is wrong, just that something IS different.

the internet has existed for most of my life, and the consistent lesson i get is that humans are constantly yearning for connection with other humans that is missing in daily life due to very broken maladaptive systems that leeches into our interactions and prevents true connection.

Middle panel Torkku just going "ooh!"

thinking about how specific animators would be leads on specific characters and how that was more akin to casting an actor to a character and how that probably gave senior animators more leverage and so of course studios stopped doing it and all characters got mushed into one style of motion.

When the birds really want to eat what I'm eating, if it isn't one of the toxic foods (like garlic, onion, avocado), I will offer them a piece, but sometimes it's food that I know they don't eat but they want to try anyway. I presented Connor a piece of lunch meat and I am alarmed that she ate it.
