Hey guys, I still don't have a job and prospects are looking really bad. I need to fundraise once again. I need 250 before the 1st of November. If you can share, please do.

Man, the way the blanket hangs in the air after she tucks him in, and the well-observed efficiency of her digging behind his pillow to find the toy, without that action taking up TOO much time or hewing so close to any filmed reference that it threatens to get distractingly heavy and *real*.

Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink!

Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back.

one very real, concrete way to help feed Gaza right now is through donating to World Central Kitchen
WCK’s mobile bakery in Gaza is currently producing 45,000 loaves of bread every day. With more supplies, including flour and fuel, we'd be able to more than double that daily output and support more Palestinian families in need. #ChefsForGaza

It's a little hilarious to me that your own gifs will work in drafts but not when they're published. Bsky I know you can do it someday I believe in you

No criticism at all to Animation Obsessive in any way here — in fact, I am immensely grateful to them for putting Glassworker on my radar.

But beside that, I find it a very sad state of things that GenAI has become so prevalent that we need to clarify when something isn’t.
The Glassworker is a gorgeous, moving, sometimes brutal feature from Pakistan. Making it was a decade-long struggle.

Ghibli inspired it, but this is no GenAI knockoff. It’s a deep study of Hayao Miyazaki's and Isao Takahata's filmmaking. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/learning-t...
