Once more, a #promosky post! I'm an indie author of six YA sci-fi books (soon to be seven), host of a few podcasts like Paleo Bites (300+ episodes!) and The Writ Wit, and aspiring animator. I love creativity, humor, characters, unique artistic expression, and freedom to create however you want.

I'm usually all about supporting creators and letting artists create however they want. But from a purely personal standpoint? Goddang, I hope this "animating on 2s" trend dies soon. It does something to my brain it does NOT like. I can't support the artistic vision if I can't physically watch it!

There are people on here whose MO is that they are never wrong. They will double down on abusive behavior rather than admit they misread, or misinterpreted, or assumed. They believe they are simply incapable of interpreting something incorrectly, incapable of being abusive.

"B-but the current government isn't reflective of the people because the whole system is corrupt!"
Actually, the current government is perfectly reflective of the people... the people who actually voted, anyway.
You want the government to reflect your beliefs? Then fricking vote.

Caring about the world doesn’t mean mentally living everywhere at once. That’s self-erasure, not solidarity. Burnt-out people don’t build better systems; they just yell louder online and then disappear.
It's okay to enjoy your life, drink some coffee, ride a roller coaster, and just live sometimes.

@matthewdonald64.bsky.social THANKS for bringing up so many good points and sharing posts about-AI, and stuff!
Your way of explaining really opens ones eye,
even as a AI-person I learned a LOT from the posts you typed;
if more people were like you, this planet would look better!
Thanks,

This is just an admission that communists would rather see people harmed and have progress lost for moral purity, instead of fighting for progress

When I was a kid, I wondered why rocks couldn't be considered money, so everyone could be rich.
Then as I grew older I realized how economics works and how it demands scarcity, so I knew better.
Then as I got even older and saw how it's all made-up BS, I'm back to "yeah, why CAN'T rocks be money?"

I'll never understand how the far leftists think their endless purity politics and isolating themselves from anyone who could be on their side is a sound strategy.
Be careful of left leaning accounts whose viability and visibility depends on Democrats losing and being in the minority.
I’ll let that marinate.

Those who insist that voting is useless and both parties are the same, are the first to start screaming "Dems do something!" when GOP get into power and start committing fascism.

God bless you, #DinosaurRide

Like the dinosaurs themselves, it took your extinction for you to get the recognition and popularity you always deserved.

#DinosaurRide at Animal Kingdom is closing today, and it's getting record numbers on its final day, with wait times upwards of four hours!
I'm so happy I was able to ride this last year before it closed. This IP is super important to me, and I'm glad its finally getting the flowers it's deserved.

It is incredible how so many people on the far left think the Jews over there are a bigger threat to America than the Republicans over here.

I've been called a genocide apologist for believing Israel has a right to exist and refusing to blame all Israelis (or, worse, all Jewish people everywhere) for Likud's monstrous actions. Fun times.
