Not sure what compelled me to draw this suddenly but here’s a style guide to how I draw TLK style pawhands! Mostly just to show the shapes I envision when I draw them!

Absolutely, doesn’t matter if you cared for the show or not, the fact that it happened is upsetting, frustrating, and depressing all at one. Upfruspressing!

Already was a big fan, but now so much respect for @kyrakupetsky.bsky.social for standing up for what is right, even if it means losing this wonderful thing she built. I hope other (bigger) creators support Kyra and speak up/fight back.

A hideous decision by BuzzFeed.

Rooting for you and the Chikn Nuggit team! It's extremely courageous of you to make a stand!

It looks like BuzzFeed got its dirty mitts on the Chikn Nuggit BlueSky account **AND DELETED IT**. Here’s a screenshot of the post I have cached and the statement that was shared.

Oh no… BuzzFeed was stealing the show Chikn Nuggit away from its creator because she didn’t want it fed into AI. She posted about it using the official account, so I’m assuming they took it and deleted the post. 😿

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this brilliant HEAD SHAKE/POOFY FUR animation, by the talented @Linmiu39! Note the tiny WINDUP before the shake, the SMEAR LINES creating BLUR, and the 2-frame FLUFF UP at the end! #anime #manga #animation #2danimation #handdrawnanimation

Uugh!! That’s beyond frustrating!!!

With my eye, I essentially had to relearn my spatial awareness while going through a year of procedures and recovery, and expected to still work full time because I didn’t fit their definition of disabled. It was a lot. The system was actively against me.

I personally found out not long ago that losing sight in one eye isn’t even considered a disability by any agency except the DMV.

A healthy film industry makes sleazy movies. Weird, borderline kink films are like coal mine canaries- they're offensive, often deeply personal, and a foil to the clean blandness of big budget propaganda. A lack of bizarre "not to everyone's taste" films is an indicator of a sickly studio ecosystem.
