20 years ago today, Animation Mentor welcomed its first class of students.

I feel so blessed to have been a part of it. It’s probably the best thing I will ever have been involved in!

Big love and gratitude to the staff, mentors, grads, and students who continue to make the school so special!

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely.

The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.

Hi LA County friends, just got a heads up through the wires and don't have a place to write it up so I'll put it here instead - the city of Rosemead is providing free N95s and KN95s to the public which can be picked up at the Rosemead Chamber of Commerce on Muscatel Ave between 12-4pm today...

#SkeletonCrew is finally here!

If, like me, you grew up on a steady diet of Goonies and ET, this show is for you!

I’ve never been more excited to get to sit down with my kids and watch something I got to help make!
