Show of hands: who would be interested in a not-social media based directory website of artists who pledge to never use AI in their process?

Is this something you would share around to everyone you know? Something you'd very much like to be listed on?

They are HUGE carbon sinks too. Ripping them up will put a huge amount of carbon back into the atmosphere; they are irreplaceable when it comes to combatting climate change.

Figured I'd take some big swings in predicting the evolutions for the new gen 10 starters!

YouTube video by ArteiceTB It’s Deeper Than Just “Basketball” | GOAT Review (SPOILERS)

Gonna share this cuz more folks need to see black animation Youtubers talking about GOAT and why it sticks the landing from THEIR perspective in particular. Especially what it means for a black woman anim nerd like Arteice here.

This is a very very very obvious point to make but shops and movie rental places and record stores are all more fun than buying things online

One theme is the first rule of ecology: Everything is connected to everything else. If you care about wolves, care, too, about insects.

Hey, MPLS folk-

I took a high dose edible (oops), vividly hallucinated, and had an abysmal C-PTSD/vasovogal syncope episode- needing a friend to call an ambulance.

Some racist dipshit locksmith gouged me for $300 to get in to my own apartment; while racially profiling me.

When I was like 23 I had a coworker who told me, "would you rather be right or effective" and it rewrote my brain.

And a lot of people on here would rather the moral victory than the practical one.

And frankly, it's gross.

Here’s the thing and I’m gonna tell you: a lot of fans are why so many creators just don’t want to create anymore. And so many of them are oddly proud of their ability to bully.

In order for cartoons as a concept to survive, they need to knock that shit off.

"I Am Frankelda" is coming to Netflix in 2026 (worldwide).
A Mexican stop-motion feature film directed by Arturo & Roy Ambriz (Studio Cinema Fantasma), prequel to their series "Frankelda's Book of Spooks".

Here's a small portion of an animated bumper I made to promote a video game from @owlcatgames.bsky.social (Blind Descent). Seeing the latest advances in generative AI and how they've invaded space, I feel lucky to have at least produced this little piece from start to finish 🥲.

Just saw an ad that started out "your kids won't remember their best day of screen time" and while I of course broadly agree with the sentiment that you should do activities with your children, don't tell me i don't remember beating zelda a link to the past

I say this, every time i say it (which is far too fucking often), to myself as much as anyone else.

Like Kaba says, hope is a discipline, a practice. That doesn't mean "don't be sad," but rather using what you can to turn sadness, anger, frustration, even despair into something that drives change.
