Fresh Start is OUT!!!!! It’s a lot of things — a mixed kid story, a gender story, a complicated family story, a friendship story, a love letter to anime tweens — but mostly it is RIDICULOUS and FUN and I’m so proud of it and so grateful to everyone who made it happen. AHHHHHHHHHH.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!
![Graphic with multiple picket signs that reads "[up arrow] Minimum Salary", "4 day Work Week", and a big cancel sign over "AI Replacing Jobs" and so much more.

Here are some more examples. These whistles come with an immigrant rights hotline, instructions on how to warn people. 3D printing is “a way to show a little extra solidarity, because it's being made for a specific purpose.”

UPDATE: Senate votes to advance a tentative deal to end the government shutdown, clearing a key hurdle.
Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

Older art but thinking about Sonic the Hedgehog: Scrapnik Island again and how much fun it was to color and design for.
If you haven't read it, it's a short 80 page horror story that doesn't require any prior sonic knowledge. If you like cool/hot/cute robots this one's for you.

I’m convinced the main reason Miyazaki films have a reputation for being “cozy” in the West is because he actually writes and animates long moments of quiet into his stories, whereas Western animated films are usually a nonstop parade of loud music, sounds, noises and neon colors.
Miyazaki: in this movie two young girls (one is a toddler) are uprooted from everything they know to start new lives near the rural hospital their mother is in; she is possibly dying of TB. Their dad works several hours away and they are largely unsupervised.
