I kinda casually observed that it took me forty minutes to get into downtown Denver from the airport on Threads, and a bunch of people were very upset with me about it, in case you need to feel like you’re doing okay.

I bought a slice of cake and took it back to my hotel room so I can eat it after I shower, as a treat

the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you

Wanted to do museum and gallery work, then the state government shut down the summer I interned at our local historical society, so I lost the internship, had a breakdown, and started posting drawings and cartoons on tumblr

The entire US economy is propped up by a product so toxic and insidious that everyone has to go on a weekly scavenger hunt just to remove it from products they're already using.
heads up, gmail has a new setting automatically on that allows their a*i to be trained on your emails so make sure to turn off the 'Smart Feature' checkbox in your settings

I also block anyone disphitted enough to blanket condemn USAID - no, you do not have to hand it to mass-murdering ghoul Elon Musk, actually
I have heard this a lot whenever anyone posts about USAID, and I’ve just decided that anyone who badmouths USAID gets blocked on sight. Life is too short.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

My article went up in @teenvogue.com — it was so great to work with such fantastic editors ✨
"Slightly less covered is the wealth of Boricua history that makes his art as powerful as it is, including over 100 years of fraught Puerto Rico-U.S. relations that led to his arrival. This history is crucial for understanding the significance of where Bad Bunny stands now, & where he is going next"
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Could Finally Spotlight Important Boricua History on the Mainland
Bad Bunny is perhaps the only pop star fully equipped to take on the current American sociopolitical ecosystem and the fact that a show must entertain.

In part inspired by the strange metaphysical flowers that ghosts eat in order to sustain their existence in Alan Moore's JERUSALEM, this was drawn to illustrate a short story written by @seananmcguire.bsky.social. This and free webcomics available on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/carlaspeed...
