Twitter is fucking awful bc the ‘alGORyThm’ sucks so I’m gonna put it here
I’m running a D&D 5E AP Podcast. A couple of the countries (Inon and Meizihua) are inspired by China and Islamic nations. I really need a sensitivity reader or someone who can consult with me about world building. I can’t really pay but I can absolutely credit you on the podcast. Hell, you can be the first guest once I get the setup figured out! I have little to offer but I want to make sure that I do my research correctly. Even just some sources would help!
If you’re interested, either DM me or find me on twitter over at @ CyrenskiaTales
Seasonal foods are regional, too. Hit up your local farmers markets and just buy what you see that looks great. I can’t speak for them all, but my local farmers markets take EBT. But also, I understand that’s not an option everywhere—just offering it as an idea.
hi!!!! there been news articles saying that the working conditions of spiderverse were rlly rlly bad to the point of 100 ppl quitting or someting…. sorry to be liek an annoying reporter and b kinda invasive but is this tru D:
there are some aspects about the article that i don’t feel comfortable commenting on, but yes a lot of animators did quit. a lot of it had to do with the issues mentioned in the article, but a lot also left because disney opened a studio in vancouver (where sony imageworks is located) and had to hire an entire crew. i don’t blame people for leaving spiderverse to get in on being a part of establishing the disney vancouver studio
i will also say that some of the information going around is incorrect; we did not work 11 hours a day, 7 days a week for over a year. working 7 days a week is illegal, and though some people worked sundays, they were clearly told that they could not work the next saturday if they worked a sunday. we encouraged people to not work ghost hours, and OT was always optional (except for saturday work towards the end, but nobody was punished or anything if they couldn’t work a saturday). we also get paid for OT. i was on the movie for over a year but we certainly weren’t crunching that whole time. like the article said, we were idle for a long time
it was undeniably a hard movie to work on and with such a large crew, everyone had a wide variety of experiences. the anonymous animators in the article aren’t wrong, but i will say that there are people that felt differently, or not as strongly as them. it’s a complicated issue that doesn’t have a simple solution
i just hope this doesn’t tarnish your view of the movie. we worked hard on it and everyone’s immense celebration of the animation is making all that hard work very worth it!
other people have said this but elon musk might actually be the dumbest person alive for thinking it’s a good idea to limit views on a website that makes money through advertising
a bunch of ppl who run websites have pointed out that the first thing that platforms/hosts will do if u don’t pay your bills is to rate limit you, the limiting views thing is just elon’s PR copefest in my opinion
I don’t think downplaying or mocking women’s fear of serial killings is the progressive take you think it is, fellow leftist. Perhaps there are better ways to get your point across.
As a trans man who lives five minutes from a killing field in which one of my own mother’s former classmates was found, your assurances that, actually, women aren’t in any danger aren’t much help.
No, adding “white” or “cishet” in front of “women” doesn’t make it more progressive.
Unfortunately, there have been enough, almost exclusively male, serial killers in America’s history who targeted women to make their fear understandable. What matters is what they do with that fear. Being reasonably cautious when out on your own, especially after dark, is good advice for people of all genders. Using your fear as a justification to oppress others is not.
I truly wish that fear of experiencing violence at the hands of another person was irrational, but it is not. It’s a fairly common fear shared across all demographics, but I find it interesting that you’re singling women out, fellow leftist. Let me take a look at your blog–
