Art is actually like super easy if you can manage to stop yourself from talking yourself out of doing it because "this is too hard" and "I don't know how to draw that" and "it's gonna look like trash so why bother" ... like just do it lol it's that simple

Got to write at length about my favorite DIY collective-turned anime studio-turned software company that also made anime sometimes for The Stacks
Joey ‘Detchibe' W. 🏳️⚧️This week in The Stacks, Rex Nabours III (@rnaboursiii.bsky.social) tracks the rise and fall of Gainax through a comprehensive history of their software. thestacks.ca/posts/2026-0...
I truly feel for kids growing up now who will have to unlearn using AI, but if you've been writing for more than 2 years it is the easiest thing in the world to just Keep Doing The Thing You Did and ignore AI tools!! It makes me feel crazy that people act like this isn't the case!!!
Maddy Myers 🏳️🌈it's actually sad as hell to use AI for research when research is the fun part. you can just email people and call them on the phone and ask them questions about the thing that they have expertise in. you can read documents & learn cool shit. ok now i'm just talking about how being a reporter is fun
Why is “both and” never an option? Like it helped King to have Malcolm X and vice versa.
Roz KaveneyWho won the battle for civil rights? Martin or Malcolm? Who won Indian freedom? Gandhi or Bose. I'm not advocating silence. I'm advocating strategic daring allied to tactical prudence. Individual adventurism will fail . Collective action will keep allies on side.
the real culprit of the oneyplays drama is oneyplays fans and how fucking stupid they are
I feel this heavy cuz I feel lowkey bad abt not posting And I'm not even famous I shouldn't care, yet I stress abt It Hustle culture and numbers fucked up the art community
Haus of Declinei hate how much people care about their ships being "canon" now. spirk fans didn't publish zines full of fanfics in the 70s only for modern fandom to grovel at the knees of corporations and beg for things to be canon. use your imaginations, don't allow billionaires to think for you.
I helped a small bit with research and did some narration for this! Jonii, thanks for having me on!
Jonii VeeJonii is not dead. After a couple years of research, interviews, and editing, I'm finally ready to tell you all about the openings done for English dubs of anime throughout history! youtu.be/aUp0xcWEMG4?...
cloudcrew.bandcamp.com/album/feiras... I worked on this amazing album for charity alongside a million other amazing artists. Please check it out! The proceeds go to a great charity :3
wasnt always like this, but as Japanese studios got more involved with western press... yep, there's a playbook and they often try to stick to it. There's a similar problem with JP anime industry panels at US cons. Again, there's a playbook.
AftermathI hate doing anime interviews: aftermath.site/i-hate-doing-a...
Deep down we are all nerds that get upset when our favorite bit of canon is removed. It comes with the territory. The highest classicists no less than the lowest comics nerds.
This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.
punkitt ‼️🧣mucho texto i know but i wanted to write a lil thing about how u can treat yourself nice!!
This. 100% this. Everyone's experience is different, based on a whole shitload of factors. I'd also add one more, specifically for the '90s: sexuality. If you were queer in the '90s, you were automatically more of a target in many areas of the USA.
Lynzee LoveridgeYour experience with "liking anime" = "social stigma" is going to be heavily influenced by demographic information. 1. Where did you live 2. How much money did your family have 3. Race 4. Gender 5. Neurotypical or not (and seriously, this one is huge) 6. Conservative/progressive area
Wild that people who lived through moral panics about media look back and go “oh yeah that shit was mad popular” only to have absolute weirdos crawl out and accuse them of lying because clearly the newspaper meant everyone hated it! What do you think the paper was responding to dog
currently transmitting from the ruins of the former Irwin Toy Factory at 43 Hanna Ave
Samantha Ferreira Is Very TiredI'm fuckin' done - time to go do the job hunt thing. One more thing: I was explicit in saying "US" for a reason. Sailor Moon was huge in Canada in the '90s, to the point that Irwin couldn't keep up with toy demand at the holidays, and additional adapted episodes were commissioned for YTV.
Seriously. Because the Fox Family buyout involved an international business, it had to be cleared through nunerous countries and Brazil's process was gonna delay it which some at Disney hoped would kill the deal in the end. Saban alledgedly had Bill Clinton call in some favors there to get cleared!
CidThat’s kind of the kicker people forget when they say he’s just a regular bastard. Like guys, Hilary defending our countries involvement with Israel and Haim calling up former President Bill to have a favor done during the Disney buyout are pretty related.
There's a lot that can be discussed about that history, and whether localizations are inherently xenophobic or what not . But let's not pretend this is a US-centric thing like I keep seeing some people doing on here.
could not possibly sum up anime in the US in the 90s better than Samantha, who hits all the bases in this thread.
Samantha Ferreira Is Very TiredYeah, it's not worth it. If y'all want to know some lore about anime fandom in the '90s, hit me up. However, I'm not wading into that shit willingly today.
