A blue two page comic. First panel is someone washing dishes. Sound effects read "splish splash." Second panel is a wider shot. The same person looks out a window i front of them to see it is underwater. Fish big and small swim in front of them. The person thinks "i feel like this wasn't here before." watermark at the bottom right corner says "aikosmith.com" A picture of a product called sad sardines, a metal tin full of kraft paper crying fish stickers and a miniature metal barbeque grill with two fish stickers on it on a wood table a flat lay photo of three comics on a wood table, What Could Have Been (blue cover), Nihao (red, white, and black cover), and False Start (purple and orange cover). Nihao is shown twice in the photo.

Trans Awareness Week ends on Wednesday, and I’m one of many people who could use support to continue accessing the care they need. Consider supporting me, or the many trans cultural curators you follow, so that we can keep existing as who we are
pixelatedlenses.bsky.social Cy Catwell @pixelatedlenses.bsky.social · 3d
Tipping and supporting me allows me to not only have support while I work with the state to get health care but also means I can continue to care for mixed as a disabled trans person. That includes being able to set aside time to write queer and trans articles.

Who else remembers a few years ago when the Jujutsu Kaisen movie made almost 200 million at the box office and the dub cast got like $300 tops

Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on.

They will tell you no. They might even laugh.

Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.

Also, re: "they get royalties", how much money is that? Does it make up for the lack of continued work?

Paying next to nothing is still "getting paid royalties" but is functionally nothing.

I’m running out of time, and all I’m asking for is a chance to live, learn, and begin again.

All I want is the chance to leave Gaza safely, to continue my education, and to use language to heal, connect, and inspire others.

Every donation brings me one step closer to rebuilding my life and future.

A drawing done in "Miyazaki style" featuring two men in the foreground and a woman on a bat-shaped flying machine in the distance behind them. The shorter man has dark hair and a monocle, while the taller has red hair and question mark-shaped buttons. Drawing done in the style of Mike Mignola, featuring the same two men from the previous drawing. Drawing done in the style of Dustin Nguyen's "Lil' Gotham" featuring the same two men, the taller leaning down to give a peck on the cheek of the shorter.

Hello. Last year, I made my first video game in Bitsy. It's a very short piece of interactive fiction about a botanist banished to the moon for attempting to create sentient plant life.

Thanks and enjoy!

If you’re an indie animator, THIS is the place you need to be—LightBox Expo.

TBH even tho it's $$$ LightBox isn’t just another con…This is where the animation industry does show up. Studios are here. Recruiters are here. Reps are here. And the artists you admire most? Also here.

Black ink drawing over yellow-to-green gradient background. All over are a sea of people smiling and crying as their forms bleed and grow into eachother. There is intestine-like viscera, eyeballs, and flowers growing between faces while arms and bodies push themselves up from the fleshy mass.
