When James Baxter did a masterclass in Vancouver years ago, he teased to the audience he did something for Steven Universe. Instantly knew it was his when people were spreading the final clip online, well before James shared his pencil test.

I've done as much laptop troubleshooting as I currently have and haven't been able to find a solution to my problem. It doesn't seem to be the fault of old hardware I've been using. Everything is on hold, including art and streams, until further notice.

Had to cancel the stream, kept delaying starting the stream only to have a quietly recurring problem affect it. It's been happening since yesterday evening and hoped I settled it to at least work tonight. I'll explain more when I can.

Friendly neighbours

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as kids dresses up for Halloween. It’s a New York neighborhood with small old houses, a bit worn down and askew, it’s early evening and the sun is setting painting the sky in orange. Aran is dressed as Batman, in a diy costume, and Tao as a ninja turtle (diy costume). Tao is about to ring the doorbell of an old house, while Aran stopped at the side way and is letting a black cat. The house they stopped on is old and a bit worn down, with two carved out pumpkins glowing in the front yard and on the steps.
From the house window a ghost woman, glowing in green, is looking at Tao as he rings the bell. And a ghost cat glowing in green, is sitting on the ac in front of the window and looks down at Aran petting the living cat.
The street is otherwise empty and it’s a bit of a nostalgic and melancholic scene but also warm.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

🇨🇦 CANADIANS:
Sign this House of Commons petition to withdraw bill C-2!
The bill is bad, the petition is quick and easy.

Thank you, @jennykwan.bsky.social

👉 ✒️ www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Screenshot of the linked page, text below:

Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
- Bill C-2, titled the “Strong Borders Act”, contains provisions that threaten fundamental rights and freedoms protected under Canadian and international law;
- The Bill would grant law enforcement and national security agencies warrantless access to Canadians’ historical associations with organizations and businesses;
- It would allow authorities to compel the disclosure of sensitive personal information, including geolocation data and contact details, based merely on suspicion of relevance to the investigation of offences under Acts of Parliament, regardless of individual involvement;
- The Bill is designed to facilitate Canada's alignment with the United States' CLOUD Act and the United Nations Cybercrime Convention, raising serious concerns about foreign access to Canadians’ private data, including by regimes with poor human rights records; and
- Bill C-2 undermines Canada’s obligations under international human rights instruments, particularly in relation to privacy rights and the fair treatment of migrants and refugees.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to:
1. Immediately withdraw Bill C-2 in its entirety;
2. Reaffirm Canada’s commitment to privacy, civil liberties, and international human rights standards;
3. Reject any legislative or policy initiatives that would enable foreign states, including the United States, to gain undue access to Canadians’ personal information; and
4. Ensure that national security and border-related legislation upholds the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and is subject to meaningful judicial oversight.

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure.

Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

A group of antagonists in One Battle After Another call people they're against "haters" among two other names. What you don't see is that they more than likely got "the haters" leaving them mean comments on their Facebook posts.

Great movie, go watch it (saw it in 5/70mm btw)

Don’t automatically assume that your elected officials will do the right thing because we know that half of them won’t and may try to capitulate under pressure. Call your elected officials and be a constant, unceasing pain in their ass. You elected them to work for you not the other way around.

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log.

This tells me two things:

1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day.
