Animator! I used to enjoy coming up with goofy profile summaries but facetiousness doesn't feel like authenticity anymore so I feel like a man without a country.

If you need a reason not to enlist, there's many.
Avatar luulapants 1d If you're in the US, now is a great time to talk to the young people in your life about the US military: The recruiter is not your friend. The military employs child psychologists to learn how to make you think the recruiter is your friend. The recruiter is allowed to lie to you and makes more money if they do. The recruiter is paid a commission to groom children into cannon fodder. The recruiter will tell you you're special and will go into special smart soldier programs instead of combat. They're lying. The recruiter may tell you they can tell if someone can get PTSD or not and only recruit people like you, who won't. They're lying. The recruiter may tell you you'll be too busy attending free college (!!) to go overseas. They're lying. The recruiter may ask what countries you want to travel to and promise you bougie placements on military bases in those countries. They're lying. Even "It's just four years!" is a lie - the government is allowed to hold you past your enlistment period with a stop-loss order. The recruiter actually has zero power to decide anything that happens to you after you enlist and they more importantly don't care what happens to you. If you enlist, you will be brainwashed to make you willing to do things to other humans that you would never be willing to do today. You will be ordered to do things that will kill children. And you'll do them. The military is not the only way or even the best way for you to go to college or start a career. Military brainwashing will actually make you into a terrible university student because it degrades your ability to think critically and question your sources. Having PTSD and/or a TBI will make it harder to be a student and keep a job. Veterans' benefits suck these days. Being a veteran drastically increases your risk of homelessness, suicide, alcohol and drug dependence, prison time, and becoming an abuser to your loved ones. The military will expose you to chemicals that will drastically increase your chances of developing cancer. The military will withhold information about your rights to conscientiously object after enlisting. A lot can change in four years.

Help?: I'm in the research/draft phase of my new comic and am looking to interview folks who've done roadie/merch/sound work with a touring band. Mostly logistics questions. This would be paid and over email. Please DM if we're mutuals, or reply here. Thanks!

What iconic local landmark in your hometown can we photoshop into a space heater safety graphic. Extra points if your town has never appeared in a movie.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

I cannot stress enough that I swear I’m not being an old curmudgeon when I say modern muppets with all the money Disney wants to hand them and all the cleanest and brightest felt simply do not work as well as the low budget grimy stuff Henson was doing almost 50 years ago.

Muppets comedy doesn’t require a huge production budget. It also doesn’t have to be cranked to 11 to deliver solid comedy beats *if* you can deliver them through strongly defined characters. You can watch this & instantly know & laugh at these character types in a sketch...

Captain America venting about the state of America with Daredevil in the same issue (Daredevil #283, 1990, dialogue by Ann Nocenti)
Cap: It's just different, Daredevil. The mood of the country it's changing. Haven't you noticed? Daredevil: I've noticed the RAGE. The rage of the poor angry at the obvious wealth all around them. And the racism- Cap: Yes, so much hate between races, between classes. There's such a gap between rich and poor. In New York,It's like a third world country at the feet of elite corporate kings. Daredevil: Strange, too - to watch Eastern Europe - the rebellions around the world for equality and a chance at a better life. It's as if America is lagging behind. Cap: EXACTLY. POWER AND WEALTH ARE SO CONCENTRATED AND ALL WE DO IS CUT SOCIAL PROGRAMS. Cap: America gained independence. But did she? Sometimes I think all we did was replace King and Crown with Royal Aristocracy of the Corporate Elite. Man is still tyrannized by Corporate Kings.

I've found this site to get more engagement reliably for my art that doesn't have "mass appeal". My followers actually SEE my posts here unlike on the bird site. That site is still easier to get bigger numbers on, but big number means NOTHING compared to having your followers actually seeing you.

New fude nib pen, turns out they come in different degrees and I was drawing with the harder one before 😂

#art #sketchbook
Various sketches drawn in blue ink In a blue traveler's notebook held open by brass clips on either side with a sailor fude nib pen in navy blue. Drawings consist of cute ghosts, demons, trees, flowers, and little scenes of every day life featuring vending machines, alleyways and streets. All the drawings are arranged in an aesthetic manner on the pages.

Reminder for everyone operating at situationally-diminished capacity.
Screencap of post from tumblr user nitewrighter Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.
