For every artist who 'used' their suffering to create something beautiful, there are dozens for whom the suffering was too debilitating to do anything. It's a romantic notion, the idea of the starving artist. It makes people feel better about not caring about the starving.

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

We now have rigorous pooled data showing that even without active restoration efforts, cleared rainforest can rebound to 75% of their former species composition and 90% of species diversity within just thirty years. #goodnews

As most of my Doc Ock art is based on Spider-Man 2, I thought to show some love to No Way Home Ock with a very simple practice animation! I focused mostly on practicing animating Flo & Mo's movements/experiment more with layers/work on stabilizing lineart too! Had fun with it though! 8D

Be patient and kind to those who are making art right now. We're all self-funded and the richest, worst people in the world are trying to plaster over and erase our hard work.

“is it true ao3 authors appreciate comments” is one of the wildest sentences i’ve ever read. is it true people like receiving feedback on their work? being told they did a good job? experiencing human connection?

Never forget that Frank Oz believes the stress of dealing with Disney's initial, relentless attempts to buy his creations is what killed Jim Henson. "The Disney deal is probably what killed Jim. It made him sick," he told The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/culture/2021...

Frank Oz on life as Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy and Yoda: ‘I’d love to do the Muppets again but Disney doesn’t want me’

He played some of the most memorable characters of all time on The Muppet Show and Sesame Street - then became a brilliant comedy director. What is he most proud of?

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.

#WeeknightWriters Q6 Thank you for the chat! I have a novella coming out on October 6th! The Witch of the Wood is a spooky MM fantasy romance about a young man going into the woods to break a curse. Things don't go as planned! books2read.com/u/bw6gwP applesncinnamon.itch.io/the-witch-of...

Over a background of twisted branches against dark bluegreen, The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur Enter the wood. Find the witch. Break the curse. Cover description: The cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur. It features two men in a dark and gloomy forest. Milo stands in front, a man with tan skin and short, dark hair. He’s dressed in a cream tunic and a green cloak around his shoulders. He has a bow and arrows. He is clearly afraid as he stares at his left hand. His fingers are blackened due a curse that is spreading across his hand. Another man, Cam, is turned the other way and holding Milo’s right hand. He’s looking over his shoulder and looking at Milo with concern. His clothes are bright, colorful, and patchwork. The gloom of the forest mutes their color. The trees seem to close in around them.

Dianna Gunn Does (Fictional) Murders 🇨🇦@diannalgunn.bsky.social · 4w ago

It's sapphic September, the perfect time to bring back this quote from the moment when Alma meets the woman whose love will change her life Like what you see? Grab Woman of Sorrow & Blood today on Itch: diannagunn.itch.io/wosab Or elsewhere: books2read.com/u/m0p0kW #BookSky #HorrorSky

Cover for Woman of Sorrow and Blood by Dianna Gunn, which features a woman in a quasi-historical flowing red dress holding a rose, on a red background. It’s accompanied by the words "I manage three steps forward before I find myself rooted to the spot, unable to think beyond a sudden desire to memorize the Daughter of Night’s every feature. Her high cheekbones, her sharp chin, the redness of her lips, the wavy black hair curling around her shoulders. She’s too pale, like she’s on death’s doorstep, and she clings to her chair like she can’t be upright without it; all signs of the illness she endures. She’s still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, more beautiful even than Nightmother, though it would be blasphemous to say so."
