a banner found above the front doors of the police HQ in Madison, Wisconsin this morning stated: “Arrest the killer cop, 608-266-4211.”

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

You can also actively help me get disability aids such as electrolyte drinks, covers for my glucose monitor, and tools that make moving through the world easier for me. Biggest priority right now is electrolyte drinks for sure. I’m going through them very fast due to being severely dehydrated:

If you feel helpless to fight the darkness in the world, or that you’re so small in the grand scheme, what could you possibly do? I urge you to step outside and look around you. There are SO MANY people you have the power to help right in front of you You alone can’t stop a corrupt government 1/?

So I recently did my first local market selling my lil fuse-bead magnets that I make and somehow underestimated how popular the Undertale ones would be LOL… Soooo here’s my next two! Temmie and Chara! I’ve already done one of Sans and one of The Annoying Dog—who should I do next? 👀

Hey, friends! Here are some thoughts on using planes in your compositions.

Text:
"Planes" are a depiction of anything that exists in a drawing at a FiXED spatial distance from the viewer, with each grouping of subjects at a shared distance overlapping the next in order to suggest the spatial relationship of each element in the drawing to the others.
This image has three planes:
(Image of a drawing with a scorpion on a rock, a cowboy sitting on a rock, and a mountain in the background).
Each plane in an image signifies a different degree of distance, with the foreground SHARiNG the viewer’s spatial plane, and the background being the farthest from it.
There’s clear distance between each plane; no plane “touches” another.

Text: why is overlapping the planes necessary?
(image: a cowboy apparently close to the viewer, one a ways back, and then a saloon behind him).
Unless one plane directly overlaps another, there’s no sure clarity that they are, in fact, suggestive of different distances.
(image: the cowboy appearing to be closest is shown to be a giant, swinging the apparently midground cowboy by the head into the two-story saloon that's only about as tall as a person).

it’s also important to suggest scale in each plane using subjects whose size the audience is likely to know. when that isn’t possible, try repeating the element-of-unspecified-scale (a) from one plane in another and have it (B) interact there with a subject whose scale is clear.
(image: a small round cactus in the foreground, and farther off a cowboy sitting on a similar cactus)

Text: A perspective grid composition (A) suggests depth by progressive recession in space, while planar composition (B) suggests it with staggered recession in space.
(image: a receding grid and a series of staggered planar elements)
The principles of overlapping planar composition can be used with a perspective grid, especially if there are elements with right angles (like buildings).
Rough your panel with plane elements in place first...
...then make/place a grid that fits your layout...
...then utilize the grid to make the receding angles match.

(image: a wanted man hiding against a wall while a cowgirl crossed the street, looking around).
One of the most useful* aspects of a foreground element is to create a sense of immersion for your audience. by putting it on essentially the same plane as the audience itself, the audience becomes a
part of the story, seemingly able to touch the foreground, to lean around it for a better view.
(image: the wanted man is now decidedly a foreground element).
*it also means less time spent drawing all of the detail in the midground or background planes without ever aesthetically shortchanging your audience.

HIRE. MAX. One of THE most skilled and multi-talented creatives I’ve ever known in my entire life, hands down

Maxi Molina@maximjdev.bsky.social · last wk.

Actually you should hire me to write for you. I've written for indie animation and games, I've even done stand up comedy in Tokyo. I'm an accomplished comedy and romance writer. I turn people bisexual on the daily. You should... you should give me money... to write? And direct your actors too

This is a super cool looking project featuring a team full of Filipino creatives—and both its writer and main artist are Filipino trans men!! This seems like a very personal project for this team, they deserve to get funded to make their art! Go share and support them how you can!!

Unironically, the world would be so much more peaceful if “straight” men who hate their wives and spend every day longing to “go fishing” alone with their best friend just got a grip and sucked each other off. There is no hell Jerry, stop being miserable all the time and just kiss him already

Unpopular opinion: The fact that they can quickly install data centers nationally means they could've been updating infrastructure which they claimed was too difficult and expensive.

God I love Weird Al so much dude 💖 Imagine, being already wealthy from your successful music career, and having the wherewithal to say “oh! You’re offering me lots more money to do something awful? Oh no thanks I don’t want to do that.” So simple, so easy. Can’t stand rich folks who act otherwise

I’ll never forget that Black Butler was initially going to be an explicit yaoi manga (it’s mangaka exclusively made 18+ yaoi before BB!!) but it was only made sfw because her editor suggested she try that out for BB! (AND she went on to make 18+ doujinshis of it anyways LOL! official doujinshi!)

The more you explore the history of anime, manga, Japanese games history, the more you are confronted with the fact that MANY of the forms’ most potent innovations sprang out of and could not have existed without pornography. It’s integral to and inextricable from these histories
