@mohoanimation.bsky.social are tonight's sponsor! We’ll be doing a raffle for licenses so ask about entering when you arrive.

It mixes nice drawing tools with rigging features. Also, there's a boom in Moho animation/rigging jobs, so I recommend checking it out.

A look back at May’s Overlappers. We had jazzy nostalgia, operatic space metal, wooden pizzas, bereavement, broken toilet doors and rubbish robot investments
