Just watched the "Taibon" episode of Apothecary Diaries & my heart is breaking.

It won't end how I want it to but, there is no other way it could go. I haven't felt this tormented since finishing "Bel Canto" by Ann Patchett

Seriously, I don't know if I can finish it...

Good time to remind ourselves that they WANT us to be on edge.

What they don't want is for is to keep finding joy. Finding joy removes their power and pisses them off.

One special fun thing about bluesky is that there is no volume of anti-Trump material you can post or repost in a day that will prevent the interaction:

[post about something else]

[people accuse you of being obsessed w the something else and of actively seeking to distract from the Trump crisis]

Yes, she stated a trend in reading that is still going. That's who she was, not who she is.

There is better stuff created by folks who aren't pathological sociopaths.

Stroud, Novik, Nix, Townsend and SO many others make wonderful middle grade fantasy fiction

Shame the film is still completely relevant today...

I've only read a few but, this seems like how it is...

Shojo sports manga:
We play for the love of the sport! We will do our best for each other so we all succeed!

Shonen sports manga:
I will crush everyone and sacrifice everything to be the best at the sport! Victory is the only goal!

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Those who don't create don't understand the desire to create.

It transcends abilities and talent.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Serious shoutout to furries for being the internet's #1 art patrons. At a time when interest in original and niche art is at an all time low and many other art spaces are gone, I appreciate you guys showing up to boost original works, buy art pieces & comms, & get vocally invested in stories & OCs.

Road Warrior was his only coherent, timeless work IMO.

Everything else was meh to bad

A little #coffeesketching this AM

Production design for a story I'm doing along with my students for an Intro To Creating Comics mini-course I'm teaching (for free) to middle schoolers

It's inspired by the Babymetal song about bullying. So, here's the bullying in dragon form

Yes, Miss Kobayashi's Maid Dragon and Ruridragon were inspirations

New #Manga day! Wooooo!

I never thought I'd like romance but, My Dressup Darling has me hooked.

The other two are my most fave genre: surreal, fantastical slice-of-life.

Also, nigori sake...

Went on a gravel ride with a friend this weekend.

Did not eat near enough (two chocolate/peanut butter scones) for a 22 mi ride that included a 1/2 mi, 17% grade climb among other longer shallower climbs.

Came close to bonking but, I do love climbing...

Yup.

I do struggle with the "reference is cheating " inside my own head (especially when using a reference makes my work better) and it's stupid.

Reference is valid. Reference is not like tracing. You look, you see ,you interpret, you make it your own.

This bugged me SO MUCH!

I could remember the rhythm of the speaking but could not remember the film!!!!

I googled it and as soon as I got the answer, I remembered the entire scene.

Such a shame it is not a better remembered film. It defined my young self as much as the Tolkien Bestiary did.
