My favorite animator, no joke. Just pure motion and kinetic energy in all his work.
Shinya Ohira animates like nobody else. He's a maverick artist known for the raw, explosive power of his drawings.

If you've seen The Boy and the Heron, you know his work. For this issue, we've gone inside his career and spoken to him about his craft: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-maveri...

“Climate change, white nationalism, erosion of democracy — they’re all part of the same story. They all remind us that this is not how democracy is supposed to work.” — @sammyroth.bsky.social, who also takes a moment to call out his billionaire boss’s complicity.

A closer view of the earlier posted rock. A few more details. This was the only rock of its type on the beach. At least, after a few hours of looking, I didn’t find any others. There is a translucent quality to it, similar to jade or agate.

Beautiful rock found on a beach in Oregon. If you have clues to what kind of rock it is, I’d love to know! All the other rocks in the area are sandstone, siltstone, basalt, and a bit of petrified wood.

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont...

It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.
