Congratulations to the people of Brazil and Serbia today!

Oh hey, I didn't know about this! And so am I!

Reading some of your posts and takes around here

Just finished: Voice-A-Versa by @billywest.bsky.social, an autobiography of the prolific voice actor and his roles. Very worth checking out for modern animation fans!

I always thought of myself as drinking way less than most people, but it turns out "like one drink a month" is basically exactly average! (I'd probably drink more if I didn't have to drive to most situations where it's an option, though.)

Funding cool animation projects!

It's getting on to witch season, if you know a young witch fan (or are a witch fan, of any age!) maybe try The Ink Witch? -Stonewall Honor book -stars a tough and brave trans girl -and a sassy tarantula -it's funny -lots of people who ought to know really liked it! bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I still remember Nana, back in the old country, chopping the tomatoes, stirring the sauce, as we heard on the breeze the distant voice of the villagers, raised in jubilation at the news that they were bringing back Family Guy.

I got this, it's fun! I loved the retro cartoon aesthetic.

I don't recall a specific moment of realization, but I remember watching Muppet Babies and when Gonzo self-identified as a "weirdo," I was like "oh, that's like me!"

MAYBE The Amulet of Samarkand or The School for Good and Evil, but those are both LONG for middle grade and you'd still have to expand them a lot. They just have enough interesting ideas that you could get away with it.

Just finished: Maggie the Dread by @osutein.bsky.social. A kid accidentally releases the goddess of destruction who's trapped in a giant obelisk at school, and now they both have to figure out how to stop her from unwillingly devouring the universe. Cute, charming, very wacky fun!

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

Oh man, I gotta go watch this, the first episode was so good!

I just finished Quaint Folk by @bitterkarella.bsky.social! This is great trippy folk horror weirdness for you fans of creepy villages with dark secrets. A great read for the Halloween and/or Tigglestide season!

Bookshop's got free shipping for the next two days AND it's October! It's the perfect time to grab a copy of The Ink Witch! (Or Unboxing Libby, that one's about robots, it's good for all seasons.)

It is the start of Banned Books Week and as such it's an EXCELLLLENT moment to donate to @authorsabb.bsky.social. We are laser focused on tbe single issue of fighting book bans. It's hard work, and we've done it with all volunteers for about 3 years-- and now we finally have a program manager.

UMBERT ACTUALLY! EP 8!!! Why are Queer cartoon characters censored?! #UmbertActually #UnionYaoi #MistermanGuyfella #Jellybox #IndieAnimation

I bought the sheet music for John Cage's 4'33" and it's perfect. No notes.

I got the first two and had them sitting around as tsundoku forever and I finally got to them and they're great! I recommend this series!

oh my god, everything about this sounds amazing. The Magician's Nephew is one of the best Narnia books (just don't read it first, the modern numbering is wrong) and Jadis is the best.

I hadn't thought of it like this, but considering everything we learn about the big-picture galaxy in Dungeon Crawler Carl it's exactly right. It's like Hitchhiker's if the POV never left the set of a Vogon game show.

I'm seeing a bunch of voting fights, my take is: - ALWAYS vote - if the only options are "bad" and "worse," not voting for "bad" is a vote for "worse." - in practice, in the US this means always voting Democratic. - not voting doesn't say "listen to me," it says "I don't show up, so don't bother."

I always forget to do this, but if you're following me and don't know, I have a couple books out for middle grade readers, Unboxing Libby and The Ink Witch (I think they're fun for adults, too, though.) I'm really proud of both of them, and The Ink Witch got a Stonewall Honor award!

Until the internet I never knew that there were people who took this to just mean Ralph literally dreams about being a Viking. I get what they mean and that it's "simpler," but the fact that the other interpretation intuitively unfolds a whole backstory is what makes it funny!

I had to look up what this is and... it's a flip phone, but side-to-side instead of up and down? Which is...desirable, I guess? It doesn't make the world actively worse, so I guess I gotta count that as a tech win by today's standards!

I'm going to have to go with Lower Decks, because it's the only one tattooed on my arm.

You can go back to a lot of SNES games and they're still beautiful and playable by today's standards. N64...mostly not so much. The appeal was HEAVILY based on 3D, any 3D, being novel and cool.

Woooo, thanks!

This store makes some amazing stuff and it would be a shame if they closed; if you're looking for some really awesome clothes, check them out!

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

I love the dedication in My Life on the Road by Gloria Steinhem

Awesome! I just got this yesterday and it's the one I'll be using from now on. I've been surprised how often there's a perfectly good alternative to these seeming monopolies (and usually better, because they can't coast on being the default.) I went Linux too and it's SO MUCH BETTER.

I just discovered that MapQuest works fine and still has the real names of stuff on it, so nobody milkshake duck MapQuest, please.

Mrs Doubtwater. Mrs Doubtearth. Mrs Doubtfire. Mrs Doubtair. Long ago, the four women lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when Mrs Doubtfire attacked.

I love that I'm the exact right combination of two different types of nerdiness seperated by like seventy years to enjoy this.

Oh god, imagine being one of the like, two people on the Time 100 Most Influential people in AI who are on it for thinking AI sucks. Like yeah, that stance should be represented but unless someone clicks all the links for context your face is plastered alongside the grossest creeps in history.
