āSay thank u to [insert kpop idol here]ā even as a joke is mad disrespectful. There are activists working around the clock and risking their lives to be treated like human beings. Your fave idol doing fanservice by flirting with their coworkers for did nothing.
South Korea has recognized the rights of a same-sex couple for the first time in the countryās history.
In the landmark decision, a Seoul court ruled that a gay couple is allowed the same health insurance rights as a heterosexual one.

Genuine Question: why do people hate artists being employed
Dreamworks co-founder Jeff Katzenberg says AI will cut costs of animation movies by 90% within the next 3 years
āIn the good old days, you might need 500 artists and years to make a world-class animated movie. I donāt think it will take 10% of that 3 years from nowā

Togashi is literally disabled and has chronic pain bro. Man openly talked about being bedridden and constantly going to the hospital. Itās probably the biggest reason he took an extended break. This isnāt the dunk you think it is.
itās hilarious to see people slandering other manga with hxh comparisons, when togashi left for over 1200 days, came back and drew a TREE ššthe bar is in hell for hxh fans, stop slandering the manga authors who are consistently feeding their fans when togashi does not for yall

Because nobody reads the articles:
Tominoās criticisms lay with Disney ditching hand drawn animation and valuing meeting production goals (āempty blockbusters with no personalityā) rather than letting creatives take time to experiment with their work
Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino says Disney's new movies are empty and boring, warns anime must avoid this.

A Haitian woman got *acid* thrown on her car.
Some Haitian families are keeping their children home for their safety, and one woman says she had her car vandalized, in the wake of the GOPās repeated racist anti-Haitian rhetoric haitiantimes.com/2024/09/11/ā¦
ALT Aside from the anxiety caused by Tuesday nightās debate, the woman also said her cars have been vandalized twice in the middle of the night. She woke up one morning to broken windows and another to acid thrown on the vehicle. Sheās added cameras to her driveway and tried to report the incidents to the police to no avail. āIām going to have to move because this area is no longer good for me,ā she said. āI canāt even leave my house to go to Walmart. Iām anxious and scared.ā

āØART ISN'T FUN ANYMOREāØ took a lot to admit this but art, in general, has been extremely draining. Whether it's commissions, art for cons, or personal stuff-it just isn't a pleasant thing to do anymore for me. In fact, it's a major stressor in my life now. š§µ

Please, beginner artists: reference real life. Look at different facial features. Doodle people you see. Watch a documentary and draw the people on them. Do not take random online tutorials as gospel. This is wrong on so many levels
Especially beginner artists, be careful with which tutorial you follow. A lot of them are overly idealised/stylized and they disregard actual human anatomy/ethnic features.
