Someone mentioned to me today how baffling it was that Scott took ponies but not huskies. RIP.

An excellent thread on artistic vocation and its intangible rewards – just the sort of thing I needed to be reminded of, today. I know I already have reached people; I also know it's a story more people need here and now. Though 'leave something for the way back' is very much one of its messages!

Well well well, if it isn't another thing that relates directly to my observations on generational malaise and polar history fandom. worstjourney.com/the-millenni... Pennell observed in 1905 that American sports weren't 'sporting' – as with many of his observations, not much has changed.

Jack Bernhardt@jackbern.bsky.social · 4w ago"better to lose with dignity than win unfairly" sounds like a hollow truism, the type of thing losers say to comfort themselves. maybe glorious failure is just something baked into European/British sports that doesn't translate to America. maybe it's better to try to win at all costs, I don't know.

Coming to you from the wrong side of midnight after a full day in the technology tunnel, reconstructing worstjourney.com on a new server, hopefully a little more methodically this time. A deadline does concentrate the mind wonderfully.
That's a full-content e-book for $7 or gorgeous shiny hardcover for $14! A steal!

If I hadn't had the animation career I had – and saved maniacally during the most profitable parts – I would not have been able to leave, or to do what I do. I'm very VERY fortunate* not to have drawn too much on my savings, but the fact they are there makes a HUGE difference.
Abrian Curington@abrian.bsky.social · 2mo agoIf I see ONE more YouTube video of someone with a very lucrative job quitting dramatically to go make art and telling us exactly how they did it... You had $100,000 in savings. That's how you did it. Which is FANTASTIC, but not a path for your average Josephine.
My lovely supporters always get first dibs, but on principle I set my research posts to go public after a period of exclusivity. I'm particularly proud of this one, in which I investigate the recurring question of whether Scott did, in fact, die last: www.patreon.com/posts/last-t...
