Inktober has been going well so far! I admittedly am not happy with the quality of the first two, but I’m glad that it’s improving and that I’m doing so in just twenty minutes or so a day, which is the intent here. I want to work on my quicker drawing, without as much planning, and do the same with video creation.
I’m now trying to get a few days done in advance, so that I can be ready for the days that I won’t be around to draw and make posts. So far so good there too! Which is surprising compared to other projects that I’ve undertaken.
This weekend I’ve got a birthday to celebrate! And will also be getting back to coding on a project that I’ve put down for nearly a year at this point. Eventually I need to learn how to promote things and share with others. And try to find a new source of income to replace everything else that’s fallen away.
Priorities!

Bad Bunny is American. Puerto Rico is part of America. It makes sense for him to not want to unintentionally further the aims of an Un-American organization like ICE. Even though they are super intent on doing so anyway while ignoring all of the above.
Everyone wants to enjoy food, but no one wants to get hit with that view that is now afforded to a pretentious eater.
I admit, it is disheartening not only that manosphere chuds can take people who feel like a failure and take advantage of them with lies, but that those same chuds can be successful in ways that someone like me feels a failure around.
We’re getting to a place where folks like Nick Fuentes are becoming mainstream, and that’s a fucking problem.

You can make stories that go, “look, racism bad!” without examining what parts of your story are necessarily false, or how they exacerbate the issues that you are trying to address.
We want to believe that people are telling the truth, and not lying to us for their own gain. Also, you can think that things aren’t real and still share them with one another.
A simple step beyond fired for not being upset that Charlie Kirk is dead. I personally think that it’s hilarious that the fucker was killed in service of the hateful rhetoric that he was constantly spewing

I love this series. As a kid, I never thought about how this was valued as researched folklore. Now I want a new copy of the books.
Excited for part two, as this story is both wild and soberingly common.
Ezra Klein is upset that his privileged world is showing cracks. Ta-Nehisi Coates is pointing out that the world has always been this way for black people.
The spread of different animators and styles here is wonderful!
If you made it this far, why not share this newsletter with a friend? Or share with me some of the things that you found that you liked this week. Either way, I’m thrilled!
