This has been brewing for a while, but it was time to let go of the username I sporadically made at 19. This also reflects several major changes over the past couple of years, one of which includes leaving the animation/entertainment industry for reasons I'm not ready to disclose.

Hiya! Since it's almost Halloween, it's time for one of my "favorite" spooky season PSAs! Don't buy taxidermy bats! None of them are ethically sourced, most are endangered, and the market for taxidermy or freeze dried bats is descimating local populations. Etsy, ebay, curio shows, none are okay.

I love fall so much. I've lived in Vermont my whole life and foliage season still seems like such a completely bonkers and beautiful thing to happen every year. It never gets old. 🍂

Photo of a pile of leaves on vibrant dark green moss. I collected lots of fallen leaves of different colors from different plants and trees and arranged them in an egg-shaped gradient going from green at the top to yellow and then orange and then red to darkest reds at the bottom.

Procreate confirms it has NO plans to add generative AI features to its apps. The company continues to stand firmly against integrating generative AI into its creative tools.

I think we need to accept more that indie animation is the result of a system bleeding out its talent and not trusting them with the resources to create things that audiences want, combined with insane levels of unbeforeseen unemployment.

I love to bake but find cooking really hard and my friends are like “oh but baking’s hard for me!” I don’t believe you!! Baking recipes tell you EXACTLY what to do down to the grain of flour! Meanwhile cooking recipes are like “cook til done. Flavor to taste” WHAT DO YOU MEEEEEEAN

Apropos of I am VERY mad for a friend: If you have not made a comic book before and are coming from other media writing, GET A COMICS EDITOR. Comics looks easy. There are 1,000 sins you will commit if you haven't written a comic before and an editor will save your ass.
