Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

FOUND IT!

For anyone else trying to figure out frame by frame in MOHO.

On frame 0, Create new layer and choose frame by frame. The option will only be there on frame 0.
Its still vector too.

THANK GOODNESS. I was losing my mind.

Reposting this Moho animation because of the Adobe animate shit happening. Keep in mind I'm not an animator and this was the first thing I made in Moho. So if this is what I can manage in a day of farting around learning the program just imagine what people who know how to animate can do with it.

Jumping on the bandwagon to say that Moho is awesome, and pretty easy to pick up using their tutorials on YouTube. I'd definitely recommend it.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.

But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

If anyone else wants an Adobe Animate alternative, I can’t recommend Moho enough. It’s affordable, it’s efficient, it’s been used in feature films from Cartoon Saloon like Wolfwalkers, and the best part…NO Ai whatsoever.

So many productions use this fucking software.
You've got a month now to recreate your entire fucking pipeline in another program, and all your previous work is useless, bye

Fucking insane. To do this so fast with no warning has to be criminal

@mplsmutualaid | Linktree Clearinghouse of mutual aid for our neighbors

I've decided that I want to use my streams to fundraise for aid for Minnesotan citizens during this ongoing ice crisis

ALL money raised via my ko-fi will be donated to one or more of the charity links here: linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid

If anyone has input, those from MN especially, I'd welcome feedback

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "
