Fun fact, indie booksellers are always happy to order books, even if they don't have them in stock, for you to pick up in-store or have shipped. Heck, you can even ask faraway indie bookstores to ship a book, or you can purchase through bookshop.org and support indies across the US and the UK!

What was your biggest impact on the internet?

LA Zoo invited me after hours to meet their gorillas for this one.

Honestly, a lot of people are reading -- more than pre-pandemic -- and maybe publishing houses should stop panicking and just be allowed to focus on cultivating authors AND readers, feeding and growing that audience. Wild concept, I know.

I got into ECCC Artist Alley but am deciding not to go. I haven't exhibited in six years so I feel unprepared, and I have time to get my act together but I could also... not do that lol. Sad bcuz I love Seattle, but relieved to have more time to think about my table display and plan new merch.

The congratulations to our newest billionaire articles are wild. Please applaud the newest member of the class of people that wrecked your air, or your water, or your wages, or your right to walk down the street.

Honestly I don't mind making videos or posting merch and process photos but I don't want to use YouTube and I don't want to use Tiktok and I don't want to use Instagram and I don't want to use Facebook lmao

Reposting to hopefully get more eyes on this. Please spread the word, so artists can check if their shop got lifted & listed.
I’ve seen comments elsewhere say that this is a Shopify issue, and there’s supposedly a way to opt out via email. Not sure if it works, but worth trying.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but indie creatives with storefronts, be aware that Amazon is beta-testing a program that scrapes the internet via AI and may be offering your products for sale, without your permission. #art #illustrators #indie Video here:

Hate how surviving as a working artist is so dependent on tech companies that are aggressively adopting the business model of stealing from artists in every way imaginable.

Perhaps an obvious point, but beyond a certain level of wealth, these numbers become meaningless. Those eight billionaires are mostly wielding political capital at this point; the bank balances are irrelevant. What this is a record of is therefore only what they *took* from everyone else.
"What a year for the ultra wealthy. The world’s 500 richest people added a record $2.2 trillion to their collective fortunes in 2025’s… booming markets, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. And about a quarter of this year’s gains went to just eight billionaires.” — Bloomberg Morning Brief

"This is how you do it. You don't do it the way that Donald Trump does it. You don't send in an invading army into cities to make it better. You work within the city to make it better."

I had a jam-packed day that was starting all wrong and to top it off I went to pick up my breakfast order at a packed local coffeeshop and their system processed my payment but not the order. While they made it, a random guy at the counter saw I was having a bad morning and called to me...
I would like to hear about a time someone, a stranger even, was very kind to you without any prompting, ulterior motive, or strings attached.

Inside of me there are two wolves. One wants to do realistic portraiture. The other wants to give 'em big ol' anime eyes.

I set my interactions to followers only so no one's been mad at me since the guy that called me out for using "cuz" instead of "because" in one of my posts.
What’s the funniest reason someone got mad at you on Bluesky this year?

I really enjoyed that K-Pop Demon Hunters movie this year. I've watched it three times

The music was great, and k-pop music is an undeniable phenomenon.

But also this....

it doesn't get mentioned as often, but GenAI is anti-technology too. tech companies are replacing programmers with AI despite studies showing that it produces buggy and unmaintainable code. the tech industry is a snake eating its own tail
I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists.

GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters.

Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

Hey #indieanimation fans and supports and #indiecreators #indiefilm

I made a starter pack of black indie creators ( primarily Animation cuz that's what I know mostly ) that everyone should follow. Folks like to support Indie but make sure you're supporting black voices too
