I finished my first animation. It took me around 18 hrs to do. I'm still so new but learned so much. I used Opentoonz and DaVinci Resolve.

Thank you to Cartoon Therapy for an amazing story to build off of & featuring all of our videos on the program. I loved all of them!!

You've seen Aaron Blaise's animation—he was a big deal on Disney's Mulan, Beauty and the Beast and more.

Behind his work is a whole creative philosophy. Blaise broke it down for us, and explained why his new film is the most rewarding he's ever done:

Light pollution has and will continue to cause humans to stop being curious about our universe. Before I saw the sky when I was at the salt flats in Salt Lake, I didn't know the stars could actually be seen that much. Within 10 years, there will be people who think stars are a conspiracy theory.

Oops. Here's something else. She explain the service well. It takes time to really get it, though. I'm still learning. Learning can be fun though!

Now looks like a good time to share my Mastodon account! I plan to mostly hang out in the Fediverse in the future. I really hope I see more of you artists there. If I ever change instances (I'd like to start my own eventually) I'll always be under GnomesAreGneat. 🛖🍂🥧

a group of people are in a living room with a fire coming out of the floor .

Alt: A very blurry gif of the meme from the show Community. A guy at the open door holds a pizza box while there is a fire inside the apartment. Someone on the left is swinging a giant piece of cloth (also on fire) in a circle trying to put out the fire. People on the right are tending to someone on the floor.

I think he would be great as G.I. Robot. He says he likes high-stakes roles too and this fits. I wish someone besides Gunn was making this movie, though.

Screenshot of an article titled "James Gunn confirms G.I. Robot will make the leap to live action." A picture of the robot's face with an army helmet and red eyes is below.

Omg I loved it! It was kinda mesmerizing.

Theres no reason to ban VPNs other than control and surveillance.

Healthcare providers and caretakers use them to protect information when they work outside of the office. You can even build your own VPN and connect to your private internet anywhere. How cool is that?

I love that quote so much. Not only is it a great takedown but it made me self-reflect a lot!

I'm not sure how stumbled into this rice fiasco 😆 but, are there any rice meals or preparations you're thinking about trying after all this?

GnomesAreGneat @gnomesaregneat.bsky.social · Sep 9

Super Nintendo! I plan to buy another one as soon as I can. My older cousin would babysit me and I'd beg her to play so I could watch. I learned all of the Super Mario World tricks from her. I also remember calling the number on the Lion King box to ask for advice and just getting the BARRY code 😆.

Hey so there's a scam on bluesky going around:

IF SOMEONE DMs YOU SAYING YOU ARE BEING IMPERSONATED

DISREGARD IT

THE PERSON MESSAGING YOU HAS BEEN HACKED AND IS TRYING TO GET YOUR ACCOUNT.

THEY WILL TRY TO GET YOU TO CHANGE YOUR ACCOUNT EMAIL.

AGAIN, THIS IS A SCAM.
