Illustration of an anthropomorphic bear cub in a kitchen excitedly squeezing bear-shaped bottles of honey onto sliced bread. An older, motherly-looking bear walks into the kitchen, looking confused.

USPS fan art? More likely than you think
#msantosart #comicoop #art #ArtistsOnBluesky #Illustration #2Dart #Christmas #USPS #Santa #SantaClaus
A cartoon drawing of a USPS mail carrier (who looks like Santa?) driving a mail truck decorated in Christmas lights, garlands, wreathes, and even presents. He's driving the truck in a wintery scene: pine trees in the background and powdery snow all around the ground and sky. The border of this drawing has blue and red stripes, making it look like a postcard.

Read the whole thread. So basically it’s like this, right?
Tumblr post from eliotheman: “This portrayal of a marginalized group was wrong then and is wrong now" and "This portrayal of a marginalized group was very progressive for the time period and paved the way for more representation while likely limited by factors outside of the creator's control" are two statements that can and should ABSOLUTELY coexist and be kept in mind when interacting with older media A reblog from lemonylemus that is a screenshot of another tumblr post from many-bees The thing you have to keep in mind about Moby Dick is that it's an explicitly anti-racist text written by a white guy in the 1850s. So you end up with stuff like Ishmael spending an entire paragraph complimenting a Polynesian guy on his skull shape.

Nokotan from “My Deer Friend Nokotan”. Her antlers have cartoonishly turned into a giant maze puzzle. A deer is on one end of the maze and a stack of deer crackers are on the other. On the top of the art is a caption that reads “Help the deer find the senbei!”

I just remembered how I one time in high school I wrote a parody school newspaper article about a new anti-DEI club. I’d say I was pretty ahead of my time with this.
Screenshot from a text document that reads: <Person 1> says "I really feel like I belong in this group, because no one else does.” Ironically enough, the CUSE is made up of a diverse group of individuals. <Person 2> believes this is because "everyone feels they're better than everyone else, it just takes the courage to be open about it." Screenshot from a text document that reads “The creation of the CUSE has seemed to inspire new clubs to pop up in the school. There have been talks of a Men's Empowerment Club, an English Honor Society, and a Straight-Straight Alliance.”

"Whew! They're clapping—they liked it!"

I think I should start drawing the Animal Crossing Pocket Camp "memories". This one is from the memory "The Adventurous Princess."

#msantosart #art #ArtistsOnBluesky #animalcrossing #animalcrossingpocketcamp #digitalart
Three anthropomorphic animals wearing play costumes on a stage. A small mouse with a massive pink bow on her head is dressed like a princess. She is in the spotlight, and clasping her hands she looks amazed as confetti falls down. On her right and on her left are a fox and a cat, bowing and waving to the audience, which is unseen in this perspective.
