gonna be sitting with “there’s an assault on giving a shit about anyone besides yourself” for a long time

Like there’s a ton of individual issues but the broader problem is that there’s an assault on giving a shit about anyone besides yourself, nihilism that tells people the only way to prevent getting hurt is to hurt enough other people and that sickness is filtering into the bones of everything.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.

(And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.)

For years I would constantly tweet and tweet and retweet about politics. I didn’t help a single person doing that. It just eroded my mental health a little every day. I promise that actually DOING something, even one small thing, feels a lot better than reposting a million memes.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

We need to embrace sprawling fantasy epics with multiple generations & absolutely byzantine lore. We need to write them. Everyone should have a Realm inside of them

Apparently the new Andor Season 2 issue of Journey Planet just dropped, for which I did the cover art. I painted this before seeing the second season. Still can't resist those John Berkey vibes. www.journeyplanet.org/journey-plan...

#StarWars #Andor
Painting: A large stylised Death Star is dissected by Director Orson Krennic's white robe, his back to us. Within his outline are Mon Mothma, Dedra Meero and Cassian Andor. To one side is a prototype Tie Interceptor type thing, to the other a ghostly Darth Vader mask.

Skol al louarn (WIP),

my gift for trigonomicon, for this year pixeljoint's secret santa.
#pixelart #db32
Huge pixel art illustration of an overgrown, clunky mech in a forest, illuminated by bright and colourfull light rays that comes from the sky. A crow is standing on the boxy head of the mech, which is also bursting with a white flower bush. An old korrigan (Britton elf?), who is roughly the size of the crow, is chilling on the shoulder of the mech. in the cockpit, three little korrigans are playing. On the ground, from right to left : 2 little korrigans are drawing children drawing on the mech, standing on the root of the tree the robot is resting on. One is sleeping in the driver helmet, while 2 others are scheming to wake them up using big nails as hammers on the helmet. A lil korrigan with a big net is trying to catch a lullaby. Two korrigans are offering a group of snails a safe travel amongst the mayhem. One is looking at small mushrooms on a root covered by moss. Another is trying to pull a red small mushroom from the ground. Under the robot, two korrigans are trying to pull what appears to be a radioactive battery out of a small pond of water. Two korrigans are using one of the doors of the cockpit as a swing. One of them is looking slightly up, seemingly surprised. One is hopping out of the canon of the mech, looking into the same direction. Another one is playing with rocks along the river, also looking surprised. On the tree, a small dragon that mostly looks like a lizard with wings and a long neck is climbing. A korrigan is climbing after it, trying to catch it. And the last korrigan is sitting on one of the roots of the tree, looking at the dragon too. In the distance, in a hole on the tree, a grumpy owl is looking at the spectacle.

I understand that YouTube is the dominant cultural delivery method of our age but i genuinely don’t understand it. I don’t want video of my audio entertainment. I listen while I’m doing other things. I don’t even know what the use case would be for me.

my boys, like many kids, are obsessed with pokemon and have binders of cards and it is almost completely impossible to find card packs at MSRP because the entire market has been bought up by scalpers

been following TCGs on and off for almost 30 years and this is about as bad as I’ve ever seen it

It is hilariously pathetic that they have to do this because gigantic scalper manbabies wont let kids have fun
