A year ago today, we had a really terrible election night, and because I know how people fall into despair I sat down at 11pm and wondered what I could tell you. I told you:

Snap to objects (EX / PRO)

You can now snap to other objects when moving or transforming vector layers, rulers, text, and more.

    Snapping is available when using the Object sub tool, Light table sub tool, Control point sub tool, and the Text tool or commands under the Edit menu > Transform. You can access snapping settings from the Sub Tool Detail palette > Enable snapping. When turned on, you can move and transform objects while snapping to other objects or the canvas grid.

If you use #CSP and have favorite v3-4 updates not to be missed, LMK! Because I cannot read all these pages right now 😵‍💫

Good thing they made a video thumbnail for that one or I would've missed it.

Better snapping is a godsend too:

Screenshot, text reads: 
What's New in the Clip Studio Paint July 2025 Update (for Annual/Monthly/Update Pass Plans) Ver. 4.1.0 (Released July 29, 2025)

Version 4.1.0 includes the following new features.
Align with the orientation of an object when transforming

You can now adjust the orientation of the bounding box when using the Edit menu > Transform. This allows you to rotate the bounding box to match the object being transformed, for more control over scaling objects.

Oooh love a good QOL update!* I'd been wanting this feature Procreate has #clipstudiopaint #csp

I generally hate updating. Usually screws things up → hours of work-time lost to fixing. Thus, getting July update in November xD

*On that note, our new Mayor too 😄🎉

Hey! Are you available for freelance? I love your work and have some of your older scientific stuff saved as well. I'm not hiring, just wanted to recommend you for something but couldn't find your site / email, so I assume you're not. LMK or email me via my site

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will:

MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.

Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We are at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

I'm seeing this from different people:
"We must experiment with these tools to understand them and our place in the industry in the future."
I hear coming from the Trojan horse.
They weren't built with the idea of keeping artists on these projects, they were built as replacements and to save on the "bottom line". Gen ai and llms are used currently as replacements, and they're just going to get better.
No experimenting needed dudes, they are designed so that a 2 year old can use them, if you know how to photobash youll be able to learn this workflow in 30 minutes if you so desperately needed to.
Refusing to use them is standing in solidarity with the thousands affected and more so stolen from. Using them is crossing an active picket line and breathing life into a future where you no longer create art for media, you assist ai until the corporate machine no longer needs you to assist it. This issue is so much larger than the arts. We were just the canaries in the coal mine.
We have the ability to stand firm on this and create the industry and world we wish to live in, not one we are forced to by people with interests directly harming our existence. I owe too much of my own life to art and what it has brought me in my darkest times than to capitulate.

I accidentally saw this while searching something else and LOVE the forms, colors, and paint stokes! Had to find it here because I didn't want to pin it from the gross website. Then saw the sneaky details and that made me love it more 😂💖

🇵🇱🇷🇺🇧🇾🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Since 1 am, our military tracked the movement of Russian drones toward the Polish border. This was not an accident or a mistake, it was deliberate. Russia used both Ukrainian and Belarusian territory to enter Polish airspace.

Obviously, there's bigger news happening right now, but Senate Republicans just voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every Democrat voted to release them. Susan Collins was the deciding vote to protect Trump and others named in the files.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

You also need to say this shit when people get fired for mentioning their personal gender or get roughed up for looking at ICE the wrong way.

Come the fuck on. If you believe this, believe it for everyone.

PSA: The fact that RFK Jr doesn’t believe that healthy children need the COVID19 booster doesn’t change the fact that previously healthy children are continuing to have devastating outcomes from COVID19 infections.

Knowing Ukrainians who didn't bother to vote because "everyone has strong opinions about how things should work" and chose to stick their heads back in the sand makes me feel so sick.

This isn't how things should work. Some opinions are fucking trash.

Ukraine's air force has warned Poland that Russian drones have entered its air space and Zamosc is under threat, Reuters reports.

Poland has the luxury of a NATO-protected airspace — Ukraine doesn't.

As a result, multiple Ukrainian cities have been struck tonight, including Lviv.
