Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Remember, they hate trans joy, they hate gay joy, they hate Black joy, they hate Native joy, etc. they hate when we can laugh and love and live our lives in our own skin. They hate that we can find our way without their rigid rules. To find joy and thrive is a great act of resistance too.

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

i've felt like this for a while already but still: i'm honestly tired of so many arguments against gen ai imagery using "haha it looks bad" gen ai is still bad because of it's worst parts: pollution, energy overuse, costs, property theft, and robbing people of livelihoods.

rewatched Memories last night, the problem with the arts nowadays is that nobody is throwing loads of money at animation directors to get them to make a gorgeously animated short film about "what if a guy got so stinky that everyone died"

JUDGEMENT DAY is about a masked astronaut sent to a planet of sentient robots to determine if they can join a Galactic Federation. The astronaut rejects their bid after observing they've built a hierarchy solely around which color they're painted. We only see the astronauts face in the final panel.

If others cannot distinguish between our heathy, clear, reasonable boundaries & us being "mean," we're going to have to let that be their problem. The truth is, being honest & clear about our boundaries is one of the kindest things we can do in relationships we value.

so...many floorboards (and yet...not enough) #todayscraft 🧶
The 1:12 scale model room diorama I am building from the previous post. The subfloors and walls are still the bare plywood and framing, but I've started to lay hand-cut floorboards made from 1/16th inch maple. Half the flooring is done and glued in, but the upper half only has enough boards for half of that (I have more maple being delivered next week). There is a tiny broom and dustpan posed in one corner of the room.

To me, seeing someone announce art or good news during terrible times isn't like trying to sell balloons at a funeral, it's like getting hugged at that funeral. When maybe you didn't know how much you needed that hug. From anyone. Or everyone. Folks need all the soul fuel they can get.

if you are ever tempted to write off the residents of a "red" (i.e., gerrymandered) state and say "set them adrift, let them secede, they deserve what they voted for", you are missing all the thousands of stories like this where the human beings in those states are pushing back every single day

this clip is reminding me how well this film also utilized changes in speed with what was shot for certain effects. sped up live action can easily look too goofy if you're not careful, but the intended effect of it in this sequence to amplify action and violence is so goddamn good.

For the cynics who think it doesn’t matter, that the compensation for authors whose work was stolen will be so low it’s not worth fighting, I personally think it’s worth making the monetary punitive damage these companies suffer as big as possible to deter similar theft in the future.

depression slump means i am forcing myself to start on the framework for this scale diorama even tho my brain hates everything rn (and realizing i need to order more maple for the floorboards 🥲) #todayscraft
A random scattering of thin craft woods, a platform I built last night with some marks for a landing and step on it, a couple pre-made miniature chairs from my collection, all sort of plopped on top of a rough blueprint of the floorplan. I am miserable and every step in this is agony my brain is not wanting any part of.
