Reminder that if you're trans like me every day you're alive is a protest. If I keep making art that's a protest. My body and heart are broken many times over; I'm not gonna beat myself up about what extra I "could be doing" beyond the help I already give to others. Cis/abled folks can step tf up.

…🧐

Maya Angelou implies the existence of Olmec Angelou, Toltec Angelou, and Aztec Angelou respectively.

Honestly, Mesoangelouan societies are, quite frankly, fascinating. 😤😤😤

Amazing Digital Carcass @amagire.bsky.social · 10h

is this "AI"-generated? a complete beginner's guide:

1. WHO is posting this? "dunno" or "generic content aggregator" = trash
2. WHY is it being posted? "likes or outrage clicks" = into the bin
3. discontinuity, distorted background text and details, extra fingers etc., but mostly the first 2 things

Ah, @realgdt.bsky.social, mi capitán. Mi rey.

Text from Variety article, Oct 10 2025:

During the presentation, del Toro also candidly weighed in on the current debate over the threat of AI, and said it was important to "differentiate the term Al as a tool and Al as a proposal of generating creativity."

"If you look at a particle system that has been used in animation for more than 15 years, that system contains elements that could be seen as AI. Generative Al is a different conversation," said del Toro.

"A few months ago, somebody wrote me in a high position. They said, 'What is your stance about AI?' And I answered the email saying, 'I'd rather die."

Good afternoon. I've been listening to Ladytron a lot lately, and just recently remembered that Destroy Everything you Touch had a wonderfully weird music video.

That first came out in 2005. 20 years ago.

...What even IS time?

When I say that I value practical effects over CGI, I was specifically referring to grasshoppers crawling on postcards to create the illusion of monstrous size.

We used to have a proper filmmaking industry.

Okay last thing I wanna say: we need to bring back the American Rear Projection Kaiju film. The Beginning of the End cries out for a remake!
