These 3 books have been revelatory for me this year, as far as thinking about how to address the current state of things using the blueprints provided by our ancestors.
None of this is new. We don’t have to panic & build everything from scratch.
You picking up what I’m putting down?

I companion planted lavender and rosemary and now I can’t tell if both or only 1 was successful. I do enjoy the mystery stage of “what did I do” of early sprouts

It’s really absurd that blocking someone doesn’t remove them from following. Like that doesn’t even make sense

Got my son a little 37-key keyboard for Valentine’s Day. He loves it!
Glad he has something new to occupy himself with today since it will be too rainy for the park.

Happy death of Captain Cook day to the Hawaiian people and all others who celebrate it! The Hawaiian people 💀'd him today in 1779.
Dr. Haunani Kay Trask talking about how these white people knew wtf they were doing. A great reminder to not let these people revise history and play in your face.

These Buddi infused seltzers ain’t nothing to play with. I was good & lifted last night.
My lil last-minute kickback was a success! No point is dragging our middle-aged asses to the club when we have drinks, food, & vinyl at the house. 😋

This makes me so happy. I nerd out over these old animation styles. Never got into anime heavy, but this? Obsessed.
Sidenote: Tubi actually has a good library of old movies, if you’re into that.

In cartoon news, Tubi just revealed practically the entirety of the classic Warner Bros/Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network library is coming to the platform this March.
For those who don't wanna visit the bird site, here's the full list of what's coming.

I have zero connection to animation other than having watched it, but this article about technical lighting effects in cel animation and how these analog processes created effects almost impossible to replicate digitally is INCREDIBLY interesting!
This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.
Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

It’s not frou frou-frou to say there’s power in the arts
Which is a bit alarming that the only way to get people to pay attention isn't with evidence, resources, research or facts but using a play with actors
I think that Amazon commercial did more in making the public aware of Flock cameras than anything else before it has.

This is how I feel being 40 with a 4-year-old. 😆
Got me out here climbing playground equipment on Friday evenings while my friends with big kids are at dinner sipping nice wine.

Parenting at this age has beat my whole ass. Damn near 50 with kids in middle school. Some of my classmates are grandparents and here go my goofy ass going to band concerts while they play hot cross buns on kazoos. 😭😭😭

do not use bsky DMs for anything you don't want the bsky team to read. as Rudy points out, if you need to use bsky DMs at all, use Germ:
I see you saying Germ isn’t on-protocol and yet I’m able to DM a Blacksky user who has been banned from bsky (can’t use bsky DMs) on it because it works with Blacksky’s infrastructure.
And, the messages are encrypted.
