The creator of Cowboy Bebop, Shinichiro Watanabe, is back at hard boiled sci-fi action with LAZARUS. He says it’s way different despite the genre, informed by the climate and opioid crises, and the final work of Cowboy Bebop’s genius writer Keiko Nobumoto. First clip.

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

Gothamite [GOTH-uh-mahyt]
(n.)
- An imbecile, simpleton, fool, idiot, etc.
- A native or resident of New York City.

Used in a sentence:
“That man is an abominable amalgamation of gothamite, parasite, bedlamite and hypocrite, with not even so much as one minuscule scintilla of redeemability.”

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

Austromancy [AW-stro-man-see]
(n.)
- Augury by means of the observation of winds, esp. the South wind.

Used in a sentence:
“When my husband ominously proclaims ‘there’s a foul wind blowing from the south…’ he’s not practicing austromancy, he’s just giving fair warning to back away.”

I need to do some research for writing and stuff but my brain says "no lay in bed for hours"

Anyone interested in helping me do my first ever convention as an artist alley person 👀
