I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

"The Metal Gear Run" they called it.

Pixel art of various animal themed robot bosses. The tag at the top says MegaGear X

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.

Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

The one thing authoritarian leaders usually have going for them is the general apathy of the majority when they make a move solely against a marginal group in society.

But when they occupy an entire city with clumsy, brutal force, that just forces everyone out of that apathy.

"I gotta work in the goddamn morning like everybody else"

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Will close in 5 days~

do not fear for dilbert. he will rise again in three days as dilbert reborn - dogbert will push aside the stone from his crypt and the pointy-haired boss will say some stupid shit like “we needed SOMEONE to work overtime!” it will have comparable readership to the peanuts reruns

If you keep thinking to yourself “I want to do -insert thing-“

Schedule out 30 minutes of your day for that thing

Phone off, just try to do the thing you want to do

Be it writing, drawing, music, hobby, etc

You can probably find 30 minutes somewhere for it

You did an incredible job Madi! This came out wonderful! I always say you cook and you never miss!

a diagram of a funnel with "your post" at the top. through the funnel there are several cross-sections: - audience: you, comprehension of your post: 100% - audience: followers, comprehension of your post: 90% - audience: followers of followers, comprehension of your post: 50% - audience: followers of followers of followers, comprehension of your post: 20% through the bottom of the funnel are "replies to your post" with several posts with stinky lines

And I totally understand the system is rigged against people. It's capitalism. I'm privileged only having to work one full time job to support myself alongside my wife and I never feel like I have energy to create but forcing yourself to be a starving artist is probably more self-harm than anything

There's always that line you have to draw between work and hobbies. Some people's passions work for them and some people work for their passions. Hustle and content culture has definitely pushed people to try to make hobbies work when that might not be best for them even if its their passion.

time then you have more time to do art but you're going to end up spending so much time running the business and trying to survive you don't have the capacity to actually make art and run the business. Jobs are draining but they can support you, depending, so you have time to spend on art.
