Honestly it saddens me that there isn't more people talking about OpenToonz, and this fork in particular:

I was wondering "hey, why DON'T we have open source software for quality 2D animation"? -- except we *do* have it and not enough people know about it.

I started a looooooong due #startrek #fanart painting and of course it's spock and it's waiting for me at home and I'm at work and this is my sad life.

remember when the internet was fun and full of possibilities? yknow how now it's a miserable hell? reminder that what happened is that capitalism colonized it and now it's just as shitty as everything else capitalism's got its hooks in

like. seo, algorithms, targeted advertising: these are all DESIGNED to keep you from finding some weirdo's X-Files fan page or geocities star trek web ring. I would 1000x rather find those than tweets from the u.s. president, yet here we are #thankscapitalism

I visited the farmer we get our main grains from: wheat and rye.
it's the worst drought in the last 40 years in our area and the harvest will be pretty pretty bad.

bad news after last years harvest has also been pretty awful. and it definitely is climate change.

and now I'm back in the city were people live in sweet oblivion when it comes to this drought situation.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. We all have to make the choice on what kind of community we want to build.

Do you want actual progress, or do you just want to some more token friends that you can to 'prove' you like 'diversity'.

Do you want to learn or do you just want to build a community that just affirms and validates your own biases?

We're all making some hard decisions right now concerning who will allow in our space.

This is a necessary process.

Found this nice video about how to really get the best out of sketchbooks, and although I've watched some videos on this before, this really stuck out to me!
