Been feeding raw walnuts n peanuts to the crows in my neighborhood to study bird movement up close for my film. They're such smart and diligent creatures, lotta character too! But it feels like I'm also amassing a winged army that I'll eventually summon to do my bidding. Gonna need a lot more nuts.
Wish I got better pictures of it when we plated it, but tonight I made the BonzaBeast stew from Treasure Planet. It was very tasty, will definitely make again! Adding to my recipe binder!

The best people in my life have been Trans people. Their presence is a truth so immutable, a depth of awareness so vast, I could never imagine returning to how I had lived previously to them sharing it with me. If you do not have Trans people's backs right now, then I will never have your back, ever
Admittedly, after being in my new place for roughly 3 weeks now, living the live of a semi-home owner and homemaker is legitimately fulfilling. These days I get just as much satisfaction doing household work and such as I would have working at a studio pre-pandemic. New life goals and priorities!
Great news! Congrats!

Happy 30th, Pokemon! Drew my favorite floating rock with arms!
There you go. An overt technofascist Trump ally will now own CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Discovery, and a big chunk of TikTok
- however, I have hope to continue to work with great people on a smaller scale, making art and things we're passionate about, for the sake of existing in itself, and to find our own means of being financially stable in these seemingly unstable times. And I wish that for all who feel the same.
I made peace with my place right now in my career. Even if it had to stop right now, I'm glad I got to work with cool people on some fun stuff during my time. Sucks that with the state of things, both within our industry and our union, I might not have a choice in whether I can continue in it-
Well I'm glad I worked for Warner Bros... once...
This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.
If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

Life may be terrible, but Iβm seeing Kikiβs Delivery Service in IMAX in two weeks and thereβs nothing you can do to stop me watching one of my early comfort movies on an unnecessarily giant screen.
Hey, our "Looney Tunes Cartoons" shorts from a few years ago will be available on TUBI sometime next month! For those who wanted to watch the series and couldn't stand the high paywall of HBOMax, your day has finally come! I hope people finally rediscover the show so many of us worked so hard on!
Omg Itβs finally out! @fernandopuig.bsky.social βs cartoon cartoon short βButtonβs Game Zoneβ has been released from its cage π β¨β¨β¨https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RpqMR9ANuJo

I will die on the hill that is White Castle. Theyβre soggy, wet little wads of oniony meat n cheese n bun steaming in a cardboard shell but the heart wants what the heart wants.
Awesome news! Congrats to ya!
Really love this short just seeing what it's like for Bugs and Sam to live together and try and get one another, with the highlight being the carrot juice scene animated by Virgil Ross.
