Pixel post dividers for everyone! It's not much, but feel free to use them if you'd like. I don't know the ideal size for these, so let me know if they're too tall. I can make them a bit shorter next time.

i am kinda peeved out that I can't enjoy most student art films from high profile art schools because of the statistics around black artists being in the low percentage often due to systemic barriers. it's another form of oppression I see rarely discussed. I do see a lot of black animators and the like but they are either indie or had to put in the work to even get in these schools and industry as a whole.

it makes sense as to why there lacks many stories with black protagonists that exists outside of stereotypes because they are often shelved or have lack of interests. or just, don't have the opportunities to be created.

[rabbitkinglune777]

it especially hurts as a black artist myself that aspires to create stories with black characters outside of misery porn or stereotypes. rather the full experience but then I do remember how racist the art industry here is considering how minstrelsy was a core part of early cartoons.

[rabbitkinglune777]

growing up there weren't much black characters to latch onto, and when they did exist, they did fall under stereotypes or were side characters to the often (white) main characters. even as a kid I picked up the scraps cuz it's all I wanted, but scraps shouldn't be good enough for black creatives, especially black children.

it sucks that even in the present day with progressive rhetoric everywhere, there feels like there isn't much progress art education wise for black folks.

you're allowed to draw. draw badly even. draw and then delete it. draw and rework it and then delete it anyway. draw only half of it and the other half three years later. in one style or another. in different styles in the same week. traditional or digital. you're literally allowed to draw however you want

Shout out to the doctor who responded with complete sincerity when I (on anesthesia) uttered the phrase “chat are we cooked” in her medical professional vicinity. You’re such a real one for that fr fr

Can everyone who makes video content do a Deaf bitch a favor? Watch your shit with the captions on and the sound off, and then do another round of editing to fix things including but not limited to:

Captions cover the spot on the screen you put the information I need

The dialogue is captioned but not the song you have playing that the dialogue is responding to

You only captioned the person on the screen, not the person off screen who is also talking

No captioning of critical sound effects (alarms, bells, dogs barking, etc)

Speakers are not labelled at moments where it is not clear on the screen who is talking.

Captions cover the spot on the screen that you put the information I need!

Other d/Deaf people welcome to add.

This post brought to you by the fifth video tutorial I could not follow because the bad, auto-generated captions covered what I was trying to watch today.
