start replying to them with this in mind
"oh so people of color protesting don't count"
"oh so disabled folk resisting don't count"
just straight up rebuke the narrative from within and without
people think that americans don't fight facism because they are just as racist and misogynistic and homophobic and ableist
aka; anyone who is not cis white straight dudes protesting rarely counts as anyone protesting
they literally do not see or recognize it when others are doing the work
So.. what are the chances that GTA 6 *actually* comes out this year?

#ICYMI : "Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is not only a surprisingly fresh take on the hero’s journey. It’s a hero’s journey, within another hero’s journey that takes place after the first hero’s journey." - @williamevanswrites.bsky.social
Screenshot from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. Fern confronted by Ehre, flying in the sky. Ehre: "You don't use ChatGPT or Gemini to help you conduct a literature review?"
Screenshot from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. Close-up of Fern, addressing Ehre. Fern: "I was taught to only use libraries and databases for my literature review"
Screenshot from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. Close-up of Ehre, addressing Fern. Ehre: "That is your graduate supervisor's philosophy, then?"

Whenever I find out a colleague is using LLM to do literature searches and to "summarise" papers
"No, recap of events, no previously on. None of that. Just that familiar folksy music, a shot of the grassy knoll, a briefcase and the wind blowing through our favorite trio’s hair. We are so back, mages"
‘Frieren’ Season 2, Praise Aureole, We Back Like We Never Left
Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

2025 recapped
gotta be the time I enjoyed cheese
If you are a gamer, compression gloves are good for you!
If you are an artist, compression gloves, elbow and wrist braces are good for you!
If you workout, all the braces are good for you!
Compression socks are amazing for conventions!
You don't need to be disabled to benefit from using them!
All that hard work should be rewarded. bibipins.com
Go buy something please! I personally want the bat bag and the frilly compression gloves.
That bag will be mine someday when I have money to spare,
Pencil test and final animation: Tokyo Godfathers (2003), dir. Satoshi Kon, Madhouse
This sequence by Shinji Otsuka was the first animation test for Tokyo Godfathers, and it served as a reference for the rest of the team
Your annual reminder that Satoshi Kon’s Tokyo Godfathers, a near as dammit perfect seasonal movie (with great queer/trans rep), is free to stream on Tubi: tubitv.com/movies/10001...
Sharing again because of the holidays!
"Tokyo Godfathers is one of the best Christmas films because it has a narrative focusing on family, on the audacity of hope, and features characters chasing redemption and working to put others first."

Much thanks and love to all the incredible collaborators, writers, editors, art directors, companies and fans I was able to interact with this year. We made magic in 2025. And next year's already looking to top it. #artvsartist2025

an even grid of 9 squares with different works of art with the center being the artist that created them.
pretty sure this is my first time doing one of these.
I made some new stickers, did some comms, and did more traditional work (not featured).
not too bad for someone that struggles to start projects.
and finish them.
and work on them.

Listen, I've already did 3 episodes on Haikyuu and what I love about it so I'm using restraint to not talk more.
That said, I will leave Omar Holmon from @blacknerdproblems.bsky.social talk for me
