CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it’s part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions
if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators
THEY ARE TRYING!!!!! SIGN THE PETITION TO GET THE DISNEY ANIMATORS’ UNION RECOGNIZED
this petition is from IATSE (union), btw! it actually has credibility, unlike most change.org/etc petitions! please sign it!!
one day you think: I want to die. and then you think, very quietly: actually. actually. I think I want a coffee. a nap. a sandwich. a book. and I want to die turns day by day into want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friend, I want to sit in the sun, I want a cleaner kitchen, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else.I want to live.
idk if it’s just how my very silly brain operates but does anybody else get like. a weird second wave of procrastination right before you finish something. like you already did 70-90% of the work, it realistically won’t take you that long to be done, but for some reason. u just can’t. like. time’s up on executive function. like. oh sorry did you want to not be worried about this? bc im going to make u have to be worried about this. thanks!
(1. How often do you have trouble wrapping up the final details of a project, once the challenging parts have been done?)
suddenly it becomes clear why I’m stuck on chapter fourteen of fifteen of this novel-length
Haven’t finished a bunch of movies/tv shows/assignments and only leave abt 30min left of work on all of these and just never come around to finishing it.
“Played this game for 300 hours but won’t finish the last quest. Why? Can’t do it.”
me: “yeah I dated a guy in high school who came out as gay. it was before i knew i was a boy so needless to say it didn’t work out”
coworker: “damn dude was preordering”
other things this coworker (who is a cis guy) has done/said:
—got confused about why I’d never been a boy scout because he forgot i was trans
—told me he was gonna get top surgery scar tattoos to match me after i get mine
—laughs at all my trans jokes, even if they’re supremely unfunny
—calls me big dog (and him little dog) even though he is about as tall as two of me
— “I can’t believe she would say that transphobic thing to you. In June? Pride month?”
Once I said “My gender is whatever’s funniest at the time” and my coworker stops dead in his tracks, turns slowly and says “So are your pronouns honk/honk?” killing me instantly
Can we all just appreciate that Alex Hirsch, creator of Gravity Falls, was prank calling Republican voter fraud hotlines on November 6, 2020?
Ok i scrolled past the first post about this and so this is the second one I saw, but they both fail to mention HE CALLED IN USING CHARACTER VOICES
[first clip]
Woman: This is a hotline to report instances of voter fraud.
Alex Hirsch, in the voice of Soos Ramírez: Okay, yeah, I saw what I believe is a voter fraud situation?
Woman: Can you please describe it for me?
Hirsch: Um… so I saw a man, uh… he walked into this- this building. Uh, and he was wearing a black- he had a, a black hat, black mask, a striped… shirt and a, uh, red tie. And, um… I believe there were hamburgers in his bag? And he was saying “robble robble,” as he was exiting the building? Like a burglar.
Woman: [unintelligible]
Hirsch: Y'know, I think- I think he’s probably antifa. Can I speak to Rudy Giuliani?
[dial tone]
[second clip]
Alex Hirsch, in the voice of Stanley “Stan” Pines: Hi, I’d like to report an incident of voter fraud.
Woman: Uh, yes sir.
Hirsch: Yeah, so I, um- I committed some voter fraud. I’m very proud of it, and I’d like to tell Mr. Rudy Giuliani about it.
Woman, in a flat tone: Great. Um. Awesome.
Hirsch: My name is Stan Pines. P-I-N-E-E-S. You got that down?
Woman: …Yes.
Hirsch: So, y'know, I- I went in there and, uh, I had a big ol’ sack. And I just started, just takin’ ballots out of the box. And I, y'know, I- I didn’t even- I didn’t even try to hide it. I waved to the crowd, I blew them kisses. And uh, y'know, I think I’m kind of a local hero and I’d, uh, I’d like Rudy to give me a medal or somethin’.
we make fun of thorin getting lost in the shire but you know the nazgul also had to keep asking for directions to find bag end so maybe hobbits’ city planning is just wack
The Hobbits have spent generations making their roads complex af to keep Gandalf out
I remember being in first grade and this white boy asked me why I wear “normal” clothes if I’m Indian and don’t Indians only wear feathers? So yes I do think first graders need more awareness about race
Also Sesame Street was made by a bunch of hippies that loved puppets and educators that were trying to reach in-city kids (particularly kids of color) who didn’t have access to good education resources.
Sesame Street has specifically addressed racism and other forms of socially oppressive orders since the beginning. Once again Rave Dubin is a moron.
