This tweet from Alex Hirsch will always be evergreen.

Disney and Pixar are complete fucking cowards.

Boardwalk Times @ D23 @BoardwalkTimes Pixar CCO Pete Docter asked Hayao Miyazaki, "When do you make changes for you and when do you make changes for the audience?" during the INSIDE OUT 2 press tour. Miyazaki replied, "I never think about the audience." #D23 Two separate photos of Pete Docter and Hayao Miyazaki, respectively.

thinking about the time Hayao Miyazaki bodied Pete Docter and Pixar

Soviet realist painting of a woman operating a port crane. Our perspective is from behind her so we see the lofty view of the port out the window of the crane’s cab

Happy International Women's Day

As a disabled woman trying to help an elderly woman with cancer who we live with and care for, I still desperately need more help.

Anything helps. Thank you so much.

Remembered this character I drew a while ago... the fight is never ending, right?
I know she is way too cute for the rage we are all feeling. But still, she's fighting.
Happy (?) international women's day.

USA folk, you need to annoy these assholes as much as you can. this bill is not to protect children. they want to erase transgender people from public life and classify them as degenerate content in the internet. we will not be seen or heard. they want our *existence* to be a sex offense.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

I'm serious, read it all please

I am literally begging folks to look at this. This is my home and they want to destroy large swathes of it. Our old growth is irreplaceable and some of the places they want to do this to are places very special to me.

If an artist isn't able to visualise their ideas on paper (or on the screen) without the use of genAI, they are not an artist. I know some artists who aren't capable of visualising things in their head, yet they can still create stunning art. I know others who brainstorm their ideas and compositions with literal scribbles and stick figures, only to end up with a beautifully rendered piece. There is absolutely no excuse for a self-respecting artist to use genAI at any point during their process.

Someone over on Instagram saying that genAI is bad for art, but can still be used by artists who have trouble visualising their ideas.

I had to reply.

The BIG DUMB WAR CYCLE HAWKS ITCH FOR BATTLE IT WILL BE A SPLENDID LITTLE WAR! 9/11 FALSELY INVOKED I'M SURE THEY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE HIJACKERS. BOOSTERS OF PREVIOUS WAR ALL OVER TV BOMBS AWAY! MILLIONS PROTEST AROUND THE WORLD AND ARE IGNORED THIS WAR IS BUNK TOO PATRIOTISM OF OPPOSITION QUESTIONED SUPPORT OUR TROOPS YOU TRAITOR WAR A BLOODY DISASTER WITHOUT END WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN? CONVENTIONAL WISDOM FORMS THAT WAR WAS A MISTAKE, BUT NO ONE HELD ACCOUNTABLE HOW'D WE GET INTO THAT MESS? BEATS ME!

This week's comic: The Big Dumb War Cycle

The angry part of Bluesky remembered KOSA (now under the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or H.R. 7757) exists but rather yell at you I'll say:

If you have REALLY bad anxiety (like me!), you can call your reps after hours! Voicemail counts! The site 5Calls give you a script to read off of:

Periodic reminder that ICE does not just track and watch immigrants. They are collecting and storing information on us all.

i am not generally a "go through the hoops to write a comment I don't think will really be read" kind of guy, but for a plan THIS bad, by a guy I hate THIS much... I'll make the exception

You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD.

You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it.

I've made my calls today. You need to.

Hawkeye (and the writers room) knew.

2003: Iraq invaded for BS reason.
2004 - 2013: Destabilisation of Middle East as a result of Iraq invasion.
2013 onward: Mass migration from Middle East to Europe as people flee instability.

USA: "Wow, you guys sure have a migrant problem."

2026: Iran attacked for BS reason.

It is so weird when younger people think that getting older means ceasing social participation

This is also why so many of you fear aging. You think that you will be forced away from life and society

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Who cares about a bad space show written by a sex pest when you could watch the anime that he ripped off to make it? Outlaw Star is 1000% pure uncut aura starring a chaotic bisexual and his crew of hot, murderous women youtu.be/q3gI-E_vqVA?...

Every bsky staff member keeps talking about how the goal is Nice Social Media but then the second they're even remotely pushed back against for something shitty, and they immediately crash out for multiple days crying about their subhuman userbase.

when you say you hate hildibrand quests this is who you are being mean to

ppl who still commission their favourite artists even in this era where everyone is broke and genAI is being pushed on us at every opportunity—you are appreciated more than words can express!!!

Well, what a wild ride this has been

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

i'm not an economist but if 900 people can afford to fund $3,000 checks to damn near everyone else in america and still be insanely fuckin rich afterwards maybe they have too much fuckin money

if the government gives you a choice between going to prison or murdering children and you don't choose prison you never had a drop of courage inside you. You're a coward. A worm. A disgrace.
