This and TURNING RED are a masterclass in messy animated female characters.

They’re allowed to be goblin-y, petty, selfish, loud, make weird goofy faces, do things wrong, and they have baggage and flaws that aren’t just “I’m a manic clumsy optimist, uwu!”

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

Im gonna say it again: music is VITAL to games. Music guides players. Music enhances emotional moments. Music is so so so important. Funny enough video games are modern operas in the way music is needed to buoy the emotional stakes.

people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. 💙

Let me say something that is controversial because our brains are broken:

Vaccines are a miracle and amazing

🌱🌀 feelings

I expected to wake up exhausted, despondent. but I looked up and for the first time in my life I thought, "there's no one left to look to. it's just us."

so I am shocked at how I feel: furious, clear-eyed, galvanized. we who saw this from the beginning, for better or worse, it's our time to lead.

Let's fucking goooooo! Lesbians!

Actually paused and started screaming at this part just now😭My heart

Hopepunk is the opposite of grimdark. Finding hope in the darkness is a radical, rebellious, beautiful, terrifying act--and is necessary to fight on.

This day has been so bleak but in the last week I’ve started designing logos again and I can’t tell you how happy it has made me. I wish I would stop for them!

I’m currently into to Brutalism, so I’m experimenting with that the next few days

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore."

I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT.

We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.

It's more important than ever to support your public library. #Libraries are community. They are about opening minds and opening doors. Get a library card, and check out books. Download Libby. Libraries need the stats for funding, which is now uncertain. And thank your librarian.

We love you.

Thinking long term one thing we will need is archives, analog archives. The instability and malliability of digital media and digital culture means that we need to document queer, trans, black, indigenous, asian, latinx, & disabled lives in ways that leave a record for those that come after us.

I got so many thoughts. Muddled by this stage of grief. But I look forward to letting the grief happen, and once it’s done, to continue to paint, organize and fight.

I keep thinking how art, hope and community are so important in these times. We’ll need those now more than ever.

keep going today guys
