Appreciation post for all the beginner artists who work hard despite the AI looming over us. You are fabulous. You are precious. Keep up the hard work, you are needed.
Anything you draw is inherently better quality because it’s real.
Yep, that'll do it
Reminds me of the time i was at a second hand store and the cashier asked if i was buying movies for my kids when i came up to the counter with a couple anime DVDs
It was Princess Mononoke and HELLSING.
A shocking amount of people continue to believe animation means cartoon means its all for kids, no matter any evidence to the contrary.
She was stunned when i explained that Helsing was bloodier than a Tarantino movie and thoroughly NOT child appropriate (ymmv on Mononoke).
*puts a disk in u*
Thank you
The most dramatic moment during my Camp Counseling career at an all girls camp was when a girl got a letter from a friend saying that Zac Efron had died and one of her bunkmates ran out of the cabin and shouted “ZAC EFRON IS DEAD!!!!!” and the camp immediately fell into chaos girls were crying in the middle of camp and running around spreading the news everyone was yelling and the counselors had to look up wether or not Zac Efron was dead (this is a wireless camp so the girls couldn’t access the internet and check for themselves) and then get out a megaphone and be like “ZAC EFRON IS NOT DEAD PLEASE REMAIN CALM” outside of all the cabins it was insanity.
Happy #makeaterriblecomicday2025! Please make a comic! It’s mandatory that you create some piece of sequential art — what it is and how you make it is up to you! Have fun! You might as well!
If you make a comic (again, it’s mandatory) and you want to share it, post it on the tag #makeaterriblecomicday2025! Or don’t, I’m not a cop.
Remember, the goal is to make something terrible! So if you can’t draw or have never made a comic, or if it’s been ages since you made something just for fun — that’s perfect! You’re all set! If you fuck up and make something that’s NOT terrible… well, some might say there’s joy in that too.
Ok stop reading this and go make something!!!
me, after being really excited and passionate about the hurt: oh right The Comfort
can u imagine if other pieces of media were as scared of calling their monsters what they are as zombie media is about calling zombies zombies

Hey All I wanted to share a resource with my US peeps that I was sent recently that I think is really nicely organized!
my local student union put together this great list of folks to call on different funding committees in the House and Senate (originally organized to reach out about federal funding cuts to research, something that’s been effecting me and everyone I work with a ton), so take a look at this list and give everyone from your state a call!
(For those worried about clicking mystery links the lists look like this and goes on for several pages 👍)
Since it lists all of the members in those committees that means that there are multiple representatives per state in most of them, which means that even if you live in a blue area you can find those red seats that you can and should contact within your own state! (You should also be contacting the Dems too! We need that overwhelming public opinion right now)
Bonus scripts and motivational gifs under the cut for those that would like those resources!
Bringing this back to say I just tried 5calls.org and oh my god it’s a game changer - you just click the topic you want to call about (they have a great long list) and put in your zip code and it immediately brings up a list of numbers and scripts to use - it’ll also include local numbers if they have em so you can hit them all up at once!
Doing it on my phone I could just click the number to call, then set it to speaker and navigate back to the webpage to read off the script and then click to get the next number when I finished- it’s so easy I finished all my calls to my contacts in like 3 minutes I can’t believe I didn’t find this sooner a;lsdjkf
UPDATE: Apparently they have an app for Android and iOS too!

Feeling an incredibly weird specific nostalgia but what piece of media defined 2020 for you (as in you spent that year with it) mine is mtv's catfish
misclicked on a bunch of shit in quick succession and was met with a somewhat harrowing prompt
Did a brand new kind of bowling shot today
we called it the "trust the Force Luke" shot or the "through God all things are possible" shot
