Yay! just brilliant minds thinking alike.

Andrew, meet @naomialderman.bsky.social. You have similar interests.

There’s some phenomenal advice for all folks in this thread, but the biggest advice I want to add is this: unless you have a big problem with your life that marriage solves, don’t ever get married.

Officers vs enlisted

This is @lizgilbert.bsky.social TED talk about the importance of placing creative works somewhat outside of yourself. You are not the Reese’s. Reese’s is external so that the artist may live unencumbered and sane. Oreo is a secret name for God not the self.

Ok, maybe not exactly Gilbert’s talk.

Shocking. Not just the violence, but the level of entitlement--thinking you can come to someone else's stadium and treat them this way because you lost.

How can you not be romantic about football?

Old master painting looted by Nazis spotted in Argentinian property listing Dutch newspaper AD says it has traced Giuseppe Ghislandi’s Portrait of a Lady to house near Buenos Aires

The daughters of Hermann Göring's aide - who refused for years to talk with art-theft investigators - put their home in Argentina up for sale, and GUESS WHAT.

Circular, like a plaque half way up a building, on what could be a concrete wall background. Curved writing at the top: ANKH-MOREPORK CONSULATE - WINGANTON A family seal.

Perfect, so nothing to add.

And if somebody doesn’t get that, it feels like that’s more on them than you.

You take the time to get it right and when you represent your revision if you do mistake, something, it is also done with care and respect even for people whom may not have deserved it.

I’ll be honest with you, Andrew: if anyone has listened to you for more than say two or three episodes of your amazing podcast every single one will realize how much care you take in representing the people and places and events that you talk about with care and respect.

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

Standards

xkcd.com/927/

Love to Nate, but IDW, Image, and other companies use SLIGHTLY different trim sizes and call it “industry standard”: artists and letterers might be more standard than the companies! Production will usually just resize the art (we’re talking with 1/32–1/16th an in.)

A book titled Swallow Me Whole by Nate Powell, featuring an illustrated girl flying above trees with orange leaves, with insects flying around her.

Swallow Me Whole by @natepowell.bsky.social is a hauntingly beautiful story that captures the disorienting blend of adolescence and mental illness. The shifting artwork mirrors inner chaos,and for me, it’s deeply personal and relatable as someone living with schizophrenia. 💙📚 #BookSky #graphicnovels
