to balance, especially when it's for something that is keeping food on your table. But on the same note, if you force yourself and increase its severity, then there's a solid chance you won't be able to do -anything-, y'know? I think folks will understand if you have to take a breather and just live

Frankly? Burnout is brutal, and pushing yourself to just -create- even during burnout just prolongs it, y'know..? I've always liked a comparison I've heard that compared it to spending energy when you have none, and thus impacting your health bar instead, thus prolonging recovery. It's difficult 1/2

THANKS. FOR. WATCHING.
Again and again, thank you for watching and your continued hype for animation made outside of mainstream studios. So proud of our crew, so thankful to work with Glitch, so happy to write next to Zach and JBO.

Thank y'all so much for making it!!
And just...gods, the design for Gwen in the current day with all of her damage just speaks to me on so many levels as someone who deals with constant chronic pain and body dysmorphia
So having Frankie and Andi go to such lengths to help...it made my heart happy

a man is standing in front of a wall with a lot of circles Alt: Mon Mothma calling out Emperor Palpatine for silencing dissent and crushing the people of Ghorman before being cut off by a cowardly Imperial

Remember that scene in Andor Season 2, where that Imperial lickspittle is racing to the communications room to flip the switch to turn off the signal in hopes he cut it off before Mon Mothma said anything bad about Emperor Palpatine?

Just thinking about that show on Disney+ for no reason.

That this is actually being tolerated; both the attempt to censure those pointing out the truth about this guy and a mostly fawning MSM painting a false picture, is intolerable. His supporters are holding Kirk up as a paragon of open debate and free speech yet they are doing everything to stifle it.

I can't really overstate how viscerally repulsive and antithetical to everything I stand for his beliefs were.

He was an open racist, proud misogynist, and violent homophobe and transphobe who thought children murdered in school shootings were acceptable losses in order to have a 2nd amendment.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.

This is Kirk's legacy.

You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

The harsh crackdown on anyone who doesn't properly mourn Charlie Kirk and pretend he was a good guy is polarizing me more and more in the opposite direction.

He was a vile, hateful little man who wanted people like me lynched. The more you scream at me for pointing that out, the more I'll say it.

This page has a big button for you to email 20+ customer service departments at once with an (editable, if you like) prewritten letter. You can even do it from your phone! There's zero reason to not be participating in the pushback on this.

Post image Post image SCREEN ACT: 
-full age verification. (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks)

-Deeply unsafe for personal and data privacy. Security/data breaches are rampant, and uploading so much sensitive data to every single we site is just asking for mass ID theft. 

-id verification is much, much harder on small websites than larger ones, creating a chilling effect and stifling speech for anyone that isnt a massive corporation

-draw comparison to UK's OSA [online safety act] and the backlash it is receiving

KOSA: 
-creates "duty of care,โ€ meaning that tech companies and platform giants would be required to take steps to prevent potentially harmful encounters, such as posts about eating disorders and instances of online bullying, from impacting minors.

-who gets to decide what is or is not "unsafe for minors"? Especially under the current administration

-it will block access to important info minors could use to keep themselves safe or advocate for themselves.  Ex: sex ed. 

-the vague nature of the bill will almost certainly be used to target LGBT content under the guise of "protecting children"

Some people keep asking "Whats wrong with Mechfrog?"
All I know about Mechfrog is that he deletes his own statements a lot and that his entire relationship to the queer Battletech community is:
-Insisting he defended a trans woman one time years ago
-Calling us evil for not embracing him.

Israeli soldiers fire near diplomats on visit to occupied West Bank The Israeli military said that it fired near a diplomatic delegation which it said deviated from an approved route in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday.

It's also a very conveniently timed news blitz when this just happened like, the day before-
