this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

YES! this is what techbros who have let their creative selves wither call "procrastination" or "inefficiency" and try to technologise away, not understanding that it is the source of creativity and imagination and everything good
When I sit down to write I'm not consciously pulling from my notes, I'm drawing on the 6 months I spent reading biographies, watching hours of interviews, etc. There is a volume of research, of effort & time that is required to create something meaningful to draw from.

There is a prison of judgment and success-chasing most artists get heaved into at an early age and can take a lifetime to get free from. You gotta understand that the process—not the product!—is the thing.

Others are entertained as a byproduct of you attending to rituals you construct for yourself.
Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.

It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

The fact that it at least anecdotally seems to be a semi-regular practice to tell white people a minority got the job in order to soften the blow of rejection really should put the elite woke panic into perspective.

still reeling from RESSHOUMANIA but the thing that keeps echoing in my head (other than umapyoi densetsu) is that the venue staff told us that we were the easiest event they've ever had, and that our guests were extremely nice. i've never been more proud of our community than after hearing that.

In case you missed it, here’s the Resshoumania V Opening video I edited.

I’ve always had fun mixing guilty gear characters with real world settings, and felt it would work with the city funk vibes from the song.

This was a lot of work to put together, but I’m super proud with how it turned out!

Bad news. The scanlation group that was doing a manga you like dropped it.
Good news. Another group picked it up.
Tragedy. They're rendering all of the names differently including switching every single L and R.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

when something happens in non-black spaces and you look up to see if the other black folks peeped game and they absolutely have w/o y'all saying a single word to each other.
Black people, what’s your favorite thing about being black?

20+ years of compulsory service as the family holiday DJ has honed my skills to the keenest edge. Now I can just press play and abscond while the aunties fervently dance their hip replacements into submission.
