Spent the past year doing animation direction for a documentary by Pete Marshall / Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness. My team and I got to see a preview screening of the film last week and it turned out so amazing! So proud of our work and honored to have a hand in this project 🌲✨💧

I am having to accept I'm still very burnt out from having a personal Year of Crunch™️. Is it bad that my first thought is to document and research the path to recovery from creative burnout? Surely that won't lead to more burnout 🫠

fuck yeah apocalypse sun is out, shining down on us in fearful red, and I can play the game "am I low energy today because of the heat wave, the wildfire smoke, maybe i caught covid and didn't notice, because I work too much, or is it because I ate uncooked vegetables and got a parasite"

When I visited the Academy Museum in LA last month, they had a Bong Joon-ho exhibit, which included an entire room covered floor-to-ceiling in his storyboards for PARASITE. If you saw this and still thought "yeah, just let AI do that," you shouldn't be watching movies, let alone making them.

What's starting in Minneapolis today is going to be just like the Broadview 6 case. A desperate attempt at a show trial pursued by dumb, vicious prosecutors performing for an audience of one. An attempt to discourage and scare people from fighting back. It's not going to work.

“Am I going to die today? Am I prepared to die today?” These are the thoughts of every person during Metro Surge. And they still did the right thing. Just like Alex and Renee. We are a grieving community with lasting CPTSD. Each attack only strengthens our resolve.

reporter: "a huge number of attempts at prosecution have been dropped, why will these be different?" "none of our indictments have failed." other reporter: "it's actually half now that have failed"

ALERT 🚨 Federal agents are being seen across our community as they arrest observers. Let me be clear, alerting our neighbors about ICE activity is not a crime, observing is not a crime, and loving your immigrant neighbors is not a crime. 1/
