One of the perks of dating @siegefault.bsky.social is that when I ask what to wear to a conference I get answers like: "Well as a _character artist_ I think you should wear white and light colors to represent the healing and approachability of the brand you're representing"

"People only joke about JRPGs where you kill God at the end because the only JRPGs they've ever played are Final Fantasy games" joke's on you, buddy – I was actually memeing on Baroque (1998).

Aaron Bushnell literally immolated himself in broad daylight to protest the Palestinian genocide and every single person with their hands on the levers of power in this country gave a great big collective shrug and went back to business as usual

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

I’ve been in multiple mandatory company-wide HR/PR meetings where someone has to go, “Avoid being a piece of shit, but whatever you do, don’t make US look bad” and sure they’re boring, but you can always tell when a person has never been through one or was goofing off on their phone the whole time.

I do find it hilarious how they immediately backtracked after this and deleted the comment

a member of bluesky saying "Yeh" in response to the above post, with a journalist responding asking to get their exact quote over the thread in which the bluesky member responds with "what" and the journalist then rephrasing the question only for the bluesky member to delete the entire thread

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I unfortunately got spoiled for this, but from all accounts, Mechs into Plowshares does something quite incredible and unique with its rule set that I don't believe has been done anywhere else.

I don't want to say anything more, but recommend you try.

Mechs Into Plowshares by Anomalous Entertainment Co

I've been working on an essay about The Struggles of TTRPG Outreach and Fandom but I think this tumblr post just captured the whole sentiment im like 100 words.

Fact: Apart from pure recognition factor, one of the major reasons your fanart gets more eyes on it than your OCd is because people are perverts for narrative context, and your OCs don't have any.

Corollary: you don't actually need to write a whole-ass graphic novel to achieve that narrative context. You do need to know what your OC's story is, but once you do, you can literally just draw contextless snapshots from that story that raise more questions than they answer and people will fill in the blanks.

I got an iPad to draw on, been thinking about it for a long time. The new device is what it is, but damn, changing from Photoshop and like… 25 years of refined workflow there to a whole new software is a daunting task. I’m so lost haha. But it’s getting there.

As somebody with asthma who uses inhalers - SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS ARTICLE IS SHAMING PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION.

"Significantly" My ass. You know what else does? AI Data centers - corporations - cows - asphalt - THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THINGS THAT ARE NOT MEDICINE.

Millions of Americans using inhalers for chronic lung diseases like asthma may be unknowingly contributing to global warming, according to new research.

as an aside, its very funny how the afrofuturist inspiration has stuck through everyone's individual iterations of it.

the neck crest-guard from chagga tribesmen, the "scarification" bolts on it's limbs and body, the ikakalaka zweihander design, the flat top head resembling grace jones...
