The United Nations General Assembly on Friday adopted a resolution calling for an “immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce” between Israeli forces and Hamas militants in Gaza. It also demands “continuous, sufficient and unhindered” provision of lifesaving supplies and services for civilians trapped inside the enclave, as news reports suggest Israel has expanded ground operations and intensified it bombing campaign.
Remember who stood back and had nothing to say while this genocide is unfolding in front of us.

The animation industry is an absolute trash fire right now, and TBH… I don’t think it’s going to recover. Not in a form I recognize, anyway.
I could go on all day about the self-hating monster that is the Animation Business, but I’ve said it all before. Right now, none of the major studios are making much of anything, and almost all of what they are making is “library content”. I’m currently doing storyboard revisions alongside a number of other former producers and directors, and I’m lucky to have it. Once all of the mismanagement and the mergers get sorted, though, there should be plenty of room for more mismanagement and mergers. And the A.I. Don’t forget the A.I.
It seems that I either give myself over fully to the souring corporate teat in the hopes that I can pretend that I still live in a world where “the grind” matters. Or I take a risk and make one big push to do… something.
First up:
Billy & Mandy vs. The Entertainment Industry:
This is my interview/reality/documentary show on the making of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy from stem to stern. I’ll be talking to as many people as I can who worked on the show about all sorts of different parts of the process. We’ll definitely get to voice actors, but the first segment is probably going to be about Billy & Mandy’s pre-history and the Big Pick Weekend.
The Upward Expedition:
This is my pick for my indie show. I have a bible. I have a decade of ideas. Time to sit down and tell a story. I want to get some screen sharing going at some point. I’ll definitely share artwork as well as the trials and tribulations of getting from There to Back Again.
I’d love to get a Discord server going and provide a place where people can talk about the stuff I’m making (and the entertainment industry in general). I still have enough Billy & Mandy swag left that I’m sure I’ll factor that stuff in as well.
In the immediate future, the funding goes to securing a space to do the interviews and probably to banking money for voice actors. I’m still deciding on my update schedule, but it should start in earnest next week.
I’m excited. Pretty scared… but also excited.
More updates to come. Definitely let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to see on the Patreon!
i made tortillas for dinner last night and they were coming out BAD so we watched a youtube vid to find out why (thank god for internet shaquille lol) and at one point he says this
w/ these memes
and i started laughing my ass off because i was literally thinking “its because they’re mad at me for using a spatula when i should be using my fingers”
literally the one of the funniest conversations i had with my ex-roomie/friend of all time @exexunderscore was when i was just toasting tortillas to make a shitty burrito or something and he was like “hey, uh. why don’t you. why are you using your hands”
