Here's an example of a fandom one in case you've never encountered it before, they're often called 'reanimated' but I have seen other types too www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOXZ...

Like obviously they've been going for awhile in fandom but to have them paired with Indie (and bigger) musicians for 'official' music video is SO cool. What a neat way to bring together and celebrate a ton of talent without burning out any single creative

I saw another one of these MAP (mutli animator project) music videos drop yesterday and I really hope it becomes a bigger trend because it's rad as hell youtu.be/dYIqX7ZLMyE

This is so cool, I was wondering how this music video was planned. The result is so fun: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxgq...

This is still open. Canadians, if you're concerned about payment processors interfering with your ability to access legal content (and stand with adult creatives against censorship), make sure to sign!

Michelle Keep @jmkeep.bsky.social · Sep 3

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

here's my take: I think humans are really fucking good. inherently. I think we are amazingly kind and giving. and everything about the world we live in is an attempt to stop us from being that. I think our societies step in to stop us from being good. I think our culture punishes us. but we ARE good

The cover of the zine "If You Don't Like The Game, Change The Rules: Alternative Modes of Videogame Production", by Marie Leblanc Flanagan. Behind the zine are a bunch of little creatures with speech bubbles saying things like "union?", "co-op", "so tired" and "four-day work week", from the back cover of the zine, along with a speech bubble that says "we're world designers, why can't we design a world we'd want to live in?"

Cartoon: Since I'm up late here's Architect (or in my case LARchitect!) of Hallowe'en! Day03 of #fantasmicalloween2025. Also my avatar for the rest of the month :D Enjoy!

cartoon of myself in a Norman Rockwell homage. As I draw a Halloween portrait of myself (as a Frankenstein monster) my reflection is a bearded Halloween skeleton. My cat, Diogee, observes from one side, a grinning jack o'lantern from the other and a raven perches on top of the easel. Caption: Larchitect of Hallowe'en

If you're wanting to support indigenous creators today, a place i look at often is a website called: ᐋᓃᓐ aaniin.
It's an online marketplace that hosts a variety of artists' works!
(They even had a popup store recently in Toronto!)

Canada's favourite Indigenous retailer aaniin retail inc. houses dozens of Indigenous brands and businesses. Selling apparel, jewelry, accessories, and more (home goods, beauty, decor) based in Toront...

Frame: this public service costs too much, it isn't making money

Negation: it's actually very efficient and it could make more money

Kirby: they are attacking the very idea of public services

Thomas P @tpshea.bsky.social · 12d

And yet here we are. The Postal Workers union needs to Kirby the frame they're being trapped in.

They don't need to make the case that there is a path to profitability.

i made a helpful reference

$top right: a fractured black rectangle where one half is labeled "autism is bad" and the other side is labeled "FACT CHECK: autistic people are productive members of society". top left: WRONG -negating their frame reinforces it -starts with what it isn't instead of what it is - your argument is shaped like their argument bottom right: large image of Kirby, a pink blob inhaling and the "autism is bad" fragment, labeled THEY'RE DOING EUGENICS bottom left: RIGHT - you eat their frame -starts with what's actually happening -contains and explains what they're doing -your argument is shaped like kirby$

What are you building? What are we willing to build together? What do we know must exist?

New WILLING TO BUILD Prints for sale in my shop featuring this quote I love from @prisonculture.bsky.social ✨
100% of profits will go to support the work of REBUILD. More info below👇🏼

Olly’s light skin hand holds a black poster in front of a garden background. Stary white words read “Transformative change happens when we are willing to build the things we know must exist.” A quote from Mariame Kaba. The image of a pitchfork and shovel surrounded by plants sits in the lower left half of the poster.

After 2016: I think there’s many factors that have led us here. Starting with American imperialism and exceptionalism being fueled by past decades of Reagan policies and fear mongering, we can see how…

After 2024: computer bad and computer should always have been in separate room, away from people

I tried to explain the significance of Toby Fox voicing the lead in VivziePop's new Homestuck pilot to my datefriend and it was fun to watch his eyes get wider and wider.
