Join the fight. Studios are making billions while stopping projects, haulting original ideas, and putting many artists on unemployment and fighting for survival in a field they trained their lives for. Creatives are being taken advantage of and it's only getting worse with studios looking to use a.i. to cheapen work and make things based only on algorithms.

It's bleak, but we're working to keep art in animation. Help get the word out and support creatives you like. Many of us are now working to get our own ideas off the ground without the blocks of studios, constant rejections from disappointments that we're pitching original ideas (A real complaint I've received from studios), and without the many notes to make our ideas fit into a generic format. Instead of looking to studio CEO's, were looking to you to help us. Show studios you stand with us!

What an interesting artist and for what she did for the time. Her exhibit at the Seattle Art museum was really cool. I appreciated the letters she wrote looking for funding for her move and her work.

I wish I got to see the music performances this year. Oh well. These are nice shots.

"Everything crazy looks crazier in a wax museum" - random guy at Harpers Ferry WV

it has been like at least eight years and sometimes I still think to myself, when I am tired, “but I am le tired… well then take a nap! AND THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES” even though in retrospect that is like one of the most embarrassingly unfunny videos to ever come out of the internet 

Thanks for this because I am spiraling.

this'll be my last post for the night. it looks bleak right now and it feels like the world might end and i do not blame you for feeling that way. i kind of feel like that too to be honest, but numbers are just numbers and land is just land. the results maps you're looking ar are not 100% accurate.

please please please just walk away from this. you'll wake up tomorrow and we'll all probably be crying, for good or bad reasons. i am begging you all to get away from the screen and sleep if you can because if you're starting to spiral then this is not good for you.

i sound like a broken record and i apologize but i repeat it because it's true: no matter how bleak it seems, no matter how badly this may or may not turn out, we can push through this. get some rest. wake up and keep living no matter what. i believe in you.

wake up and keep living. no. matter. what.

goodnight and good luck. sending my warmth out to all of you. <333

(psst have some more cat pics!!! you all really liked the other ones so here's some loafs to ease your mind. i'll see you all tomorrow.)

I had started on Camp NaNoWriMo this month but then it's fizzled. Life just gets in the way sometimes. Also, I'm experimenting with writing my story by hand. I think I picked too big of a notebook because I can't carry it with me. It's discbound but also letter page size. If I was still using a book bag to travel with, maybe not so bad but I don't anymore.

I've been in the mood for something new and it's been a mental debate for me. I don't need these things but I love gadgets. My options that I'm debating:

- freewrite traveler (maybe Alpha because it's cheaper)

- pomera dm250

- just buy a new laptop (current is from 2014)

- use Bluetooth keyboard with my phone

- pick a better sized notebook for story writing
