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!!
*Everyone is standing around the broken coffee maker*
Lance: So. Who broke it? I'm not mad, I just wanna know.
Everyone:
Darcy: ...I did. I broke it.
Lance: No. No you didn't. Tory?
Tory: Don't look at me. Look at Darius.
Darius: What?! I didn't break it.
Tory: Huh, that's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?
Darius: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.
Tory: Suspicious.
Darius: No, it's not!
Seth: If it matters, probably not, but Caleb was the last one to use it.
Caleb: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!
Seth: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?
Caleb: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Seth!
Darcy: Okay let's not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it, Lance.
Lance: No! Who broke it!?
Everyone:
Seth: Lance... Tory's been awfully quiet.
Tory: rEALLY?!
*Everyone starts arguing*
Lance, being interviewed: I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it.
Lance: I predict 10 minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.
Lance:
Lance: Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

It's impossible to define woman in a way that excludes all trans women and doesn't exclude any cis women, but defining women in a way that excludes all human women trans or cis is a pretty amazing fuckup.

Having looked through historic googlebooks many a time and been frustrated by how difficult it is to search in this time period, this chart is most certainly due to the algorithm not properly picking up the "Long S" which was an f-like character used in place of an s especially in 17th and 18th century printing.
The rules of when the short and long s's are used are somewhat complicated to modern people, but they are almost always at the beginning of words, never at the end, and if there is a double s sometimes they are combined and sometimes not:
99% of the time the word actually being used is "suck" or "sucking." It actually shows up a lot as a word used to describe babies who were still nursing. In texts from this period the word "suck" will almost always read as "fuck." This makes some of these auto-transcriptions absolutely brilliant in hindsight:
If you search for the word "fuck" in googlebooks within this time frame, you get hundreds of pages of entries like this. For example, this Shakespeare anthology:
This is not to say that people in the 18th century didn't find this hilarious, I'm sure they did, but f-bombs were not being dropped in classic literature at the time. If they do show up, like in this 1785 slang dictionary: it is almost always bleeped out:
The other 1% of the fucks in 18th century books are, of course, not bleeped out because they are in Ye Olde Porn, of which there is a surprising amount on googlebooks.
I should also note if it wasn't clear that the immense dropoff just after 1800 is when the long s stopped being used in print, and the reemergence was in the mid-late 20th century when people DID start dropping f-bombs in literature
man sometimes i really want to get back into welding but then i remember that the guys from the first course i took won’t be there and change my mind
comprehensive list of things that happened to me in my welding course with The Guys:
- was the only one to get an A the first grading period. had to stop them from putting me on their shoulders
- became the official classroom mascot on account of i was the only girl. this meant i was an integral stop on any and all workshop tours. was referred to as “Our Lady Helena” on these occasions
- almost set myself on fire once bc my prof stood behind me watching me try a skill he’d just demonstrated and he shouted very suddenly very loudly. restarted my heart and asked WTF WAS THAT FOR JOHN and he called me a “goddamn wonder”. i almost got third degree burned over a compliment
- mentioned offhand ONE TIME that swords were cool. also mentioned my birthday offhand ONE TIME. one of The Guys remembered both instances and also happened to find a sword in a dumpster so he gave it to me for my birthday
- came in fifth in an arm wrestling competition
- french braided my hair in class bc i didn’t have time to do it beforehand. ended up with an audience of like 5+ guys trying to figure out how tf i was doing it
- told The Guys my college friends call me barbie. Mistake. suddenly had all 12 of them calling me Barbarian
- had some down time and made a silly little sculpture with some scraps. The Guys were endlessly intrigued by this and demanded to see some of my art school stuff. had a small crowd around my phone cheering loudly every time i swiped to a new picture
- accidentally mentioned the cafe i worked at. Mistake. several days later all 12 of them came in to bother me
- offered someone a haircut. Mistake. had to retract the offer bc suddenly Everyone wanted a haircut and it would Not Be Fair if i only did one
sometimes I randomly remember that Mr Ratburn from Arthur is gay married to a chocolatier and a sense of calmness and prosperity washes over me like a wave
someone just reblogged this old post out of nowhere, causing a sense of calmness and prosperity to wash over me like a wave
Happy pride month to that rat
