keep trying to get stuck in here properly, but the feed’s never quite hit like the bird app used to. just went on a follow spree - lots of familiar faces (and some new ones) - and it’s looking better than ever!

I freakin love the beginnings of projects. What do you mean I get to try literally ANYTHING?! Anyone that complains about being a designer has lost the plot.

David Lynch, Auteur Drawn to the Dark and the Dreamlike, Dies at 78 With such hallucinogenic masterworks as 'Eraserhead,' 'Blue Velvet,' 'Mulholland Drive,' 'Twin Peaks' and 'The Elephant Man,' he often left more questions than answers.

"Lynchian" is a fully realized and instantly comprehensible adjective, as concrete a one-word summation of an artist's aesthetic and worldview as has ever been associated with any artist in any medium. Things will forever be Lynchian, but there was only one David Lynch. #RIP

A meme of TinTin speaking to Captain.

Captain, looking defeated, says "2020 has been a hell of a year"

TinTin replies "Captain, it's almost 2025”

Illustrated poster by Cheng Peng in orange, pink, blue, red, pink and black. The main illustration is a simplified depiction of a face looking at some circles and a triangle. One of the circles has a star shape in it with lines suggesting a circular motion. There are Chinese characters on the right and the numbers "12.10/12.15." At the bottom are the words "A story about moving, old apartment, new apartment."

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to β€œlike” less and β€œretweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.
