I'm Zev, a NYC-based animator/ professor. Lately I've been focused on elaborate illustrative pieces. My interests are the Gothic, botanic, queer eroticism, and retro anime.
On IG/Tumblr @zevchevat, and on my site www.zevchevat.com. Always looking for work and cool projects!

Blood in the Machine is a pretty solid lil read/listen if you enjoy worker’s rights and think that the displacement of human endeavor by automation for the enrichment of those controlling the technology may not be of that great a benefit to society as a whole.

this is really connected to yet another instance i had today of a student wanting to set a period piece in the retro "era of the 2000s"...a statement that causes me to explode into low poly dust like a video game skeleton mob
this is a sign of distress in my species, people who grew up in nj and have no reason to feel nostalgic about the 2000s
every millennial film guy reaches that stage in his life...
anyway wow, hot takes from me, the sopranos is great, unfussy television (and actually thinly sliced deli satire) but we learned all the wrong lessons from it as a tv culture

American bluesky posters are going through a period of intense hot take aggression a) because we're right at the point post-DST time change for everyone to be maximally exhausted b) serotonin crash as the midterms afterglow wears off. do not engage

so glad the child sexual abuse panic was squarely pointed at folks like me by the people actually doing it & the public was like “yeah, seems right—freaks did it. not the men with all the money & fighting to keep child marriage legal, the women that are legal to kill in 30 states if you’re nervous.”
What a great day for finding out that a lot of things people thought were conspiracies are actually backed up by emails that are like hey pedo, let us pedo together in pedoland on the second day of the pedo month

the only true crime content I really enjoy is white collar crime and corporate malfeasance and they are constantly emailing each other being like, “here’s my thoughts on the crimes we will do and when we will do them."
they do this because they are not pursued, in any way, by anyone

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

my idea of a wild friday night out, this and a nice cocktail, who wants to join me
at fantastic, thoughtful director q&a after the opening night of Peter Hujar's Day at Film at Lincoln Center, Ira Sachs was talking about artistic doubt, his and Hujar's, and waa asked by a student how you get over doubt: "remind yourself you're going to die!" he said with a laugh

shoutout to @msclairebiddles.bsky.social and @gavia.bsky.social's recent episode of Overinvested pod on their picks from the London Film Festival for helping alert me to this film, so I had an eye out for it getting a limited release in the US this week!

NEW: On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court lets Trump resume misgendering trans Americans on their passports, claiming "the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
![This case concerns an Executive Branch policy requiring
all new passports to display an individual’s biological sex at
birth. The United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts preliminarily enjoined the Government
from enforcing the policy, and the First Circuit declined to
stay the injunction pending appeal. The Government then
filed this stay application. Applying our familiar stay fac-
tors at this preliminary stage, we grant the application.
Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends
equal protection principles than displaying their country of
birth—in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to
a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential
treatment. And on this record, respondents have failed to
establish that the Government’s choice to display biological
sex “lack[s] any purpose other than a bare . . . desire to
harm a politically unpopular group.” Trump v. Hawaii, 585
U. S. 667, 705 (2018) (internal quotation marks omitted).
Nor are respondents likely to prevail in arguing that the
State Department acted arbitrarily and capriciously by de-
clining to depart from Presidential rules that Congress ex-
pressly required it to follow. See 22 U. S. C. §211a.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreiacrtgoecxjy5y7ojz7xzbun4c4nwutjcvqn4qb4p25ldpt6va5lu@jpeg)
