The solutions proposed for New Zealand's (and virtually every other country's) problems are always like:
"We need to make people work for more years"
"We have to cut back on services, I'm sorry, there is just no other way"
"We have to cut benefits for young people"

never:
"We need to tax the rich"

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Inbetweens is such a beautiful book about reckoning with who you are as an artist. I cannot recommend it enough. @faitherinhicks.bsky.social @01firstsecond.bsky.social #comics #animation

Faith Erin Hicks’s cover for Inbetweens. The two leads, Ash and Sloan, are both animating, and their characters are coming to life on the papers scattered around them.

can you imagine just sitting down to plan this and not feeling any shame or hesitation. seeing jane goodall on the tv as you’re doing it and how her thing was gorillas and yours is getting ready to deport a guy who’s been wrongly imprisoned since reagan’s first term

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

@faitherinhicks.bsky.social So, I read the Netgalley of Inbetweens... and now I’m a weepy mess.

I love Kiki’s Delivery Service too.

I’ve been obsessed with wanting to see dinosaurs in stop-motion ever since I saw the test footage for Jurassic Park.

Mark Truesdale @marktweedale.bsky.social · 13h

Same. It's such a long, long list. I’m guessing Dinotopia is also on your list?

I will always love Ariel. (And no, she did not give up everything for a guy. That is not who Ariel is.)

It was incredible to see this in person.

They had a Disney exhibit that came to Brisbane, showing concept art from their animated films. I bought a season pass and spent many hours wandering through there, yet I never tired of it.

I miss that exhibit so much.

And, of course, LAIKA famously does beautiful trees, and they’re so specific that you can tell at a glance which trees are from which film. Surely they would make something special of Hester’s tree.

Hester’s tree on the Crawford Farm. From Harrow County #1, written by Cullen Bunn and illustrated by Tyler Crook.

Given how much texture is in Tyler Crook’s art, I’d want it to be adapted with just as much texture.

Mark Truesdale @marktweedale.bsky.social · 15h

Today I can't seem to stop thinking about what Harrow County would look like if adapted to film by LAIKA (especially the Skinless Boy, Priscilla, and the Abandoned).
