Animator by occupation! Worked on Rick and Morty, and a few other shows you may have heard of! I also have done some Voice Over, and plan to do more! AI "art" = insta-block! https://linktr.ee/dime.coffee

SUPER enjoying the WoW Forever beta so far! That said, @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com any plans on mitigating the sheer tidal wave of racism and other forms of bigotry that are phenomenally rampant throughout chat and naming? Reporting is getting tiring, and I keep seeing "Report System Unavailable"

Check it ooooooouuuut! I got to voice this one, and had so much fun doing so! Check it out if you want to hear what I sound like as a war-and-void-traumatized Blood Elf Paladin! #warcraft #warcraftmidnight #gaming #voiceover

New Lore video out now! The attack on the Voidspire did not exactly go as planned. Watch our debriefing to find out what happened! Also... New intro goes BRRRRRR! 🤩 youtu.be/EZ35HJo6OxM

Here's a little something I've been putting together recently! I really hope people are into it so far. It's something I've wanted to start making for a long time. If you're into it, I'd love a follow! #animation #fantasy #darkfantasy #humanmade #noai

For those who missed it, I recently published an essay that dove deep into the studies that show us that yes, of course, UBI works, in response to a slew of recent op-eds claiming otherwise.

There are many reasons I believe in the separation of Church and State and "you can't disagree with the head of state, that's against theology" is probably the most prominent "absolutely not" scenario.

I heard this song on Tiktok a few nights ago and I've been driving my poor wife mad singing it incessantly. So naturally, I had to animate a song about shitting oneself in affordable grocery stores with the aid of my chorus of multicolored aliens.(sucks the song is AI😭) #animation #art #noAI #funny

I saw a post on LinkedIn by an accomplished animator who was giving up on animation after a year of no success in searching for a job. Can't help feeling like I'm but a few steps behind the good sir. #animation #artvsai #art 🧵 1/10

The only way to defeat the big, dumb, clunky AI boot grinding you into the dust is to keep creating. The robots can't stomp everything flat. I am a sucker for hoping against hope after all. 9/10

If you're not, and you know any animators or artists in your life, check in on them! Make sure they're not coughing up sand. Or sea water. I started with a drowning metaphor, then ended on Dune. So I dunno man. I just don't know. End/10 🧵

Go to school, I was told! Get a career! The city you're in is a lush environment with an embarrassment of riches in your chosen field! You don't need to become some corporate suit to make a living. You can turn your love for art into a career that'll see you into your retirement years. 7/10

So I went for it; went about 30k into debt and tried my damndest. Only for the occupational Arrakis to creep up behind me and yawn wide, baby. If you're an animator or artist of any description, keep at it! Even if you have to get an unrelated (but still wholly valid!) job in the meantime. 8/10

Every moment inbetween has been filled with thoughts of what I've been doing wrong this whole time, and if all I've done was confuse mistakes for successes. I was so happy when I graduated from the animation course I took. 5/10

I seemed to do well, with the occasional hiccup along the way, but I worked my way up to supervisor roles and as far as I knew I was doing well! People seemed to like me, and I was asked to return enough times that I actually started believing I might actually start risking confidence in myself.6/10

I can't say I ever FELT like I was exploited, but I tend to have my head angled soundly downward, so no saying it didn't happen. I loved everyone I worked with though, and I'd go to war for damn near all of them, so my experience with studio life has been nigh entirely positive. 3/10

Needless to say, demoralizing is an apt word for the last half year or so. I feel like I've thrown everything at every wall I've seen, but all the walls are oiled such that not a thing sticks. I learned 3D, took courses for anything related to my previous work, and still came up snake eyes. 4/10

Keeping my head above water at the moment, but treading water does not a life make, and boy howdy do the fathomless depths be tugging downward. I'm a sucker for hoping against hope though. Thank the gods of the arts for freelance. His post mentioned being exploited every step of the way too. 2/10

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest. In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

My love of Deathstalker 2025 inspired me to sketch out these two creepy little critters while my wife was getting her hair done today! I loved the endemic life in the movie, and just had to get these little dudes on paper. #deathstalker #fantasy #fanart #drawing #inkdrawing

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too. We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

Dieselbrain@dieselbrain.bsky.social

#SaveSpeech Ana's situation has gotten more severe. This is blatantly targetted debanking and [extremely unfortunate] proof that these call campaigns are getting under paypros skin Keep calling Visa and MC and demanding they stop discriminating against adult content! stop-paypros.neocities.org
