It’s really weird how collective experiences of a thing inform how we later view that thing on our own.

Then there’s the stuff we never get to see on our own, and all the stuff we see on our own that can’t be shared.

That’s what births art.

Absolum just being the everything. Still opening it up, character leveling and skills beginning to scratch beyond the surface, I’m really excited to see how far this goes

my parents:

Mom: Did Dad tell you about the health problems I was having?

Me: (I begin to say yes)
Dad: -No, he doesn’t know about that

Mom: Okay! Don’t worry about it! I’m fine!

It’s a question of how much your brain is experiencing it

okay like

dumb l, but I’m gonna say it:

Once you have the page composition, linework, and shadows locked in, at that point comics become SUPER EASY to work on in short bursts. It’s like the difference between heart surgery and trimming a fingernail

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

mixing everything down into a single layer of pixel and non-pixel, removing any ‘white’ that was thrown down in the process of cleaning

We’re all cranewives to the cult of the birdman that is capitalism, but maybe there’s a way off this rock that’s better than Icarus

Never thought I’d ever be the type to be up at 5:30 AM on a regular basis, but here we are.

Of course, I also basically melt into sleep like a cat beginning at 10:30 PM, I just don’t see 11 PM ever anymore.

Disney Princess storytime works as well on the reader as it does the listener.

youtu.be/q0kqZEgjQtU?... she’s incredible, I finally understand what Ginger Baker meant about drummers who have ‘time.’ She has all the time in the world when she drums, she knows exactly how to fill every space and is in no rush to get there.

I know I still need to lay down some atmospheric shaders, but I’m still really happy with how this page came together and what it decided it needed along the way.
