Some stuff about how any fandom will attract MLP art just came up on Tumblr, so here's some bullshit I drew for @prairiehamster.bsky.social like 20 years ago.
Apparently, Elon’s graduated to the “vandalize the moon” phase of supervillainy. I guess it *was* just a matter of time.

Explaining to a friend about the "rabbits in waistcoats" sbu-genre of british childrens lit (ie beatrix potter, wind in the willows, etc) and its american counterpart "possums in overalls" (pogo, emmet otter's jugband christmas, kissyfur)
the real issue with the internet in 2026 is nobody talks about Domo-kun anymore.

Reminding my American friends to check to make sure they're registered to vote way before November. Even if you think you are - doublecheck just to make sure you don't fall pray to shennanigans.

Bombshell report from the Wall Street Journal: DHS has been tracking down Americans at work and on the road who are critical of immigration policies, spending millions on contractors to surveil First Amendment protected speech and create political dossiers. Outrageous. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

What do you mean I’m “funny”? Funny what? Like Joe Pesci? Do I entertain you in films about gangsters? Am I a side character in the musical Jersey Boys? Were impressions of me a mainstay on SNL throughout the 80s and 90s? FUNNY HOW?!

But I really do think that there is an urge to not be "mean" or "unfair" or "negative" that is making us grope for rationalizations for why it is not just Correct but Righteous to dislike this person. (or book. or tv show. or or or) And it's actually okay to just... not like things.
"Liberal bubble" is code for "we can't gaslight you if you won't unblock us".

‘Today is August 4, 2026,’ said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, ‘in the city of Allendale, California.’
The bad-faith AI-booster argument about artists being “gatekeepers” is so facile that it really doesn’t deserve any air. Those are not serious people, and your time and energy for yourself are too valuable to expend on them!
The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.
Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...
