So this is really old but it's something I'm kinda proud of and showcases how I like to interpret FFVII. Also it's finally nearing 1k views!

In honor of Edgar Allan Poe's 176th deathday, here are a few of my recent pieces inspired by Poe's works 🫀

A black cat is watching the scene from the lower right corner.

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

It is so deeply depressing to me to see so many super young women obsessively buying products and trying to recreate pinterest/instagram aesthetics to fill the hungry, all consuming void that is deep insecurity and lack of identity. Terrified of aging and they're not even 25. Please love yourselves.

I realized I’ve been sort of mourning the internet lately. It’s odd. This ‘place’ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. It’s not coming back.

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

Sorry to all my twitch friends but now that I live in Korea I can't hang out in your streams because apparently it was too expensive for twitch to run in Korea and it was shut down more than a year ago. I will happily watch your VODs on youtube tho!

The new video is finally out! 1/6 finally finished. Really excited to see the conversations around this one and already having interesting discussions about Frieren. Now my reward is one hour of uninterrupted Hades II

Be a human being. Write badly. Draw badly. Make a mess. Make mistakes. Research. Think. Read.

But do the work yourself. Be original. Be odd.

Better yourself each time.

Grow as a person, as a writer, as an artist, as a musician, at the pace you grow at.

Do not sacrifice that to AI.

I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?

Jesus Christ.

It was my birthday recently and I sincerely considered not living anymore.
The worst part of all is that the parents who once supported me fully in being an artist sent me an AI generated picture of a caricature of themselves holding a birthday cake with my name spelled incorrectly.

Anyone organizing a protest asking you to “sign up” simply cares about the wrong thing and doesn’t know wtf they’re doing AND does not care about your safety.

This is harmful on a whole other level. Not acceptable Michigan, not here, not now, not ever.

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 26d

Michigan lawmakers have introduced a bill prohibiting the any "depiction or description" of trans people or trans existence online, including it in a bill banning "pornographic" material

The bill would completely erase trans people online, equating them with porn.

Total porn ban proposed by Michigan lawmakers

Some states have moved to require age verification to ensure only adults are watching porn, but no states have outright banned the viewing of pornographic material.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism.
The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White
America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt.

The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The
Department of Homeland Security boasted of
"the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement."

Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced.
Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans. Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society. The recent visa issue, which could have been resolved diplomatically with advance notice from an ally, is difficult to explain beyond political maneuvering. The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.
