TERROR BLOODLETTER (Taylor Ledbetter) @tlrledbetter.bsky.social · Feb 3

Taylor here. I'm 34, autistic, and I've yet to have a professional job despite years of trying. I'm both an artist and a writer mostly known for fan works and have co-written several spec scripts with my pal Clark.

I'd be up for any work on IP, but I've got plenty of original ideas too.

A mock-up of a Banjo-Kazooie animated series in the style of The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Banjo and Kazooie chase a Jiggy down a path as Gruntilda, flying her broomstick, and Kungo chase after them. Bottles tries to point them out to Banjo and Kazooie, while Tootie looks on nervously atop a cliff. Next to Tootie are Mumbo Jumbo and Humba Wumba, getting into a bit of a squabble. Five Jinjos fly overhead during all of this.

A lineup of characters for an original animated series. On the left is a redhead teenage boy with baggy clothes, including a red flannel shirt. In the middle is a chipper teenage girl with long black hair, a bright pink top and purple bell-bottoms. On the right is a stuck-up, nerdy tween boy wearing thick glasses and proper, dull-colored clothing.

Concept art of a house for an original animated series. It's a blue, two-story house on a hilly landscape amongst colorful autumn trees, though some in the foreground are noticeably dead and gnarled. A mountain range rests far in the background.

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

"This movie I don't like is made by AI" has got to be one of the worst and laziest bad faith criticisms I've seen yet.

It's incredibly insulting to the humans working on those movies, and an "AI movie" will be so bad that even the lowest rated movies will look good by comparison.

I know the world feels like shit now, but I also believe that there is still good in it and good people.

Don't let the bad people take away your joy or drag you down with them.

this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

I was worried this would be too easy on AI, but then I saw the initials of the toy company that made those freaked-up knockoffs.

The best part of how Portland is handling this is they’re not only protesting, but also angering the goose steppers by not taking them seriously.

Pretty genius. Because even ICE & the national guard don’t want to be displayed as that asshole fighting people in cute costumes.

and yes yes, we all know gavin is an amoral shitheel, but despair when despair is appropriate—you’ll get another chance to despair, i promise.

he should sign. if he fucks off into the hills, the bills & their protections become law.

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️ @madycast.com · 1d

Misspoke earlier when I said not signing is a veto--i checked and it's true that if Newsom does indeed never sign the bills, they become law.

gincalesq.bsky.social @gincalesq.bsky.social · 1d

Also, under CA law, if he doesn’t veto them they become law. He doesn’t need to sign them for them to go into effect. Newsom is trash, but this article missed some important details.

hi, cis folks in california!

this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out.

he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841

want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

Work is work, so I’m happy for her too. Hopefully, when the transitional period at Nick Animation is over, they’ll let her back on A New Wish. If not…well, I’d personally let her and the rest of the crew work on a Danny Phantom reboot as the next best thing. They deserve SOMETHING.
