They're such smart and diligent creatures, lotta character too! But it feels like I'm also amassing a winged army that I'll eventually summon to do my bidding. Gonna need a lot more nuts.

Wish I got better pictures of it when we plated it, but tonight I made the BonzaBeast stew from Treasure Planet. It was very tasty, will definitely make again! Adding to my recipe binder!

The best people in my life have been Trans people. Their presence is a truth so immutable, a depth of awareness so vast, I could never imagine returning to how I had lived previously to them sharing it with me. If you do not have Trans people's backs right now, then I will never have your back, ever

These days I get just as much satisfaction doing household work and such as I would have working at a studio pre-pandemic. New life goals and priorities!

And I wish that for all who feel the same.
26.02.2026 23:23 — 👍 64 🔁 2 💬 0 📌 0I made peace with my place right now in my career. Even if it had to stop right now, I'm glad I got to work with cool people on some fun stuff during my time. Sucks that with the state of things, both within our industry and our union, I might not have a choice in whether I can continue in it-

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.
If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

Hey, our "Looney Tunes Cartoons" shorts from a few years ago will be available on TUBI sometime next month! For those who wanted to watch the series and couldn't stand the high paywall of HBOMax, your day has finally come! I hope people finally rediscover the show so many of us worked so hard on!

Really love this short just seeing what it's like for Bugs and Sam to live together and try and get one another, with the highlight being the carrot juice scene animated by Virgil Ross.
