No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

For anyone else trying to figure out frame by frame in MOHO.
On frame 0, Create new layer and choose frame by frame. The option will only be there on frame 0.
Its still vector too.
THANK GOODNESS. I was losing my mind.

Reposting this Moho animation because of the Adobe animate shit happening. Keep in mind I'm not an animator and this was the first thing I made in Moho. So if this is what I can manage in a day of farting around learning the program just imagine what people who know how to animate can do with it.

Jumping on the bandwagon to say that Moho is awesome, and pretty easy to pick up using their tutorials on YouTube. I'd definitely recommend it.
If anyone else wants an Adobe Animate alternative, I can’t recommend Moho enough. It’s affordable, it’s efficient, it’s been used in feature films from Cartoon Saloon like Wolfwalkers, and the best part…NO Ai whatsoever.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.
If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

You've got a month now to recreate your entire fucking pipeline in another program, and all your previous work is useless, bye
Fucking insane. To do this so fast with no warning has to be criminal

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Hey folks, I realized that I'm in the storm impact area - not as bad as Appalachia and the South, but still in the footprint - which means I really need to get food and supplies in. I'm at $0/1000 so far, so honestly anything helps.
