don’t forget during the WGA strike that animation is not covered under the WGA deals and as a result animation has gotten the shortest possible end of the stick in under-staffing, under-paying, and generally turning the field into gig employment.
please sign the petition here for Disney to recognize animation production workers as a union and reblog this post!
tbh the best way that i explain to other people what it feels like to live with an anxiety disorder is the one time when i had to get a fingerprint and background check done for a job and i, someone who has never received so much as a speeding ticket my whole life, spent thirty minutes panicking that i would fail because i might secretly be a criminal and have no idea
This is the most accurate post on anxiety ever.
something something panopticon something something psychological effects of a surveillance state
[Transcript: “Who’s a historical figure people never talk about?”
Oh, I have one for this. Now, a lot of people talk about Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, who are towering figures in the civil rights movement. But, the person people do not talk about– and he might just be the most important person in that movement– is Bayard Rustin. He is the person who taught Martin Luther King about civil disobedience, he debated Malcolm X about integration, and the March On Washington– which Martin Luther King was just a speaker– as you can see down there, Deputy Director, the person who organized that event was Bayard Rustin. There he goes with MLK, there he is with James Baldwin, there he goes with Malcolm.
Now for the sad part. A lot of reason people don’t hear about Bayard Rustin: he was an openly gay Black man during that time. And, he was fully aware of the stigma that was associated with that at the time, and he did not want to jeopardize the movement. Listen to this story. When Bayard Rustin would go meet with Martin Luther King, he would hide in the trunk of the car, because he didn’t want his presence to taint the movement.
There is a great PBS documentary about him, and if you are not familiar with Bayard Rustin you should be, because he is a towering figure in the history of America, and especially the civil rights movement.]
If you have a torrent client, download the torrent and set your seed rate to be at least 1.1, and 2.0 if you can. It’s 60 MB so it shouldn’t be that hard on your computer, and this is something that needs to be kept alive.
This is important and must remain accessible.
Hacker, maia arson crimew, published a 2603 page “collection of emails from 2019-2021 between dozens of anti-trans expert witnesses, US right-wing lawmakers and conservative legal groups” demonstrating exactly how anti-trans rhetoric is being orchestrated by hate groups working directly with politicians.
alright guys I got curious as to why Dipper in Journal 3 said 12 here instead of 13 so I did a little trial and error with a Bar Mitzvah date calculator
I used a range of 1946-1956 just to get a good size.
Heres what i found:
As their birthday is June 15th, The only 2 years in this range Stan and Ford couldve been born and had their Bar Mitzvah date be before they turned 13 by the gregorian calendar were 1948 and 1951
and since the boys looked like this in “1960-something”:
I personally rule out 1948 as their birth year. As at the youngest they coudlve been in the 60s was 11/12 (closer to 12 since this appears to be summer) in the year 1960, and they do not really seem 12 here to me.
So uh.. Guys I think Stan and Ford were maybe born in 1951
