also and I feel like I buried the lede here: it calls for the people who CREATE queer media to be imprisoned. That'd be people like me. Or any other queer creator you love. Any queen who's been on drag race. Chappel Roan. Janelle Monae. Anyone who's made a piece of queer media. Imprisoned.

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

Oh yea, I'm doing a Double-Upload week! The first one, that you can see first on Patreon, is my latest interview where I get to talk to the people at MAKE Originals about their latest indie animated series, House on the Outlands!

Well I'm given to understand that today & for a VERY limited time, our nation's political violence party is shocked—shocked!—to learn that we currently live in a world of normalized political violence, and would like very much to know who is to blame.

I honestly underestimated how anticipated today's episode of the podcast was. I knew I had some big news to cover both in animation and all the crazy things that happened in the weekend, but even today's turnaround for the livestream was bigger than usual! Thanks everybody for making today a hit :)

I had a very busy day yesterday. I wonder if if anything happened in the news while I was out... Richard Simmons is what? Trump was nearly WHAT? THE CREATOR OF MIGHTY MAGISWORDS WAS ARRESTED FOR WHAT?!?

It's incredibly sad that we've all lost out on such a vital and effective self-promo tool, but simultaneously, it's validating to know that, no, it's not just me. Twitter/X is utterly useless, now. Broken beyond repair. boringstorybook.com/break-up-wit...

In true Shrek fashion, it has to be said this way... It's not ogre yet. Also, looks like it's going to have an additional Illumination touch with the Minions: The Rise of Gru co-director on board and the founder himself Chris Meledandri producing this. This is going to be interesting.

I watched Despicable Me 3 again in order to get ready for the 4th movie tomorrow. I'll admit that it's not the best of the franchise...but I just can't hate it. It's generally cute and it made me laugh more often than I'd expect. It's a fun movie and I hope DM4 will, at minimum, do the same thing.

You're entitled to your despair. But understand that when you catastrophize on social media, you risk spreading learned helplessness. Which is exactly what fascists want, for people to lie down and cry.

Trump hired the guy who gave his friend Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart deal despite being a rapist to be secretary of labor. It really can't be emphasized enough that not only are Trumpists coming to kill you and steal your money, they're coming to rape your kids!

Trump later appointed this federal prosecutor as his first U.S. Secretary of Labor. www.kare11.com/article/news...

I see America has a serious problem of incompetent politicians and corrupt judges. I think people should consider using this as a problem solver. I heard it worked for the French.
