why does the chain by fleetwood mac go so hard there's no beat drop or anything just a guitar/bass instrumental and lyrics that absolutely fuck

[ID: The “it’s free real estate” meme, edited to read: “It’s the plodding southern gothic drum beat combined with the chorus of vaguely threatening voices at a distance accusing you of breaking a sacred unbreakable oath and then also that sick guitar solo at the end” /End ID]

low self esteem can set your entire life back. it’ll cause you to miss opportunities. avoid taking risks. stay in situations longer than you should. seek validation instead of trusting your instincts. etc. you shouldn’t underestimate the power of having confidence or high self esteem with one’s self.

For #GuineaPigAppreciationDay, here are two Chimú polychrome effigy vessels in the form of guinea pigs, North Coast Peru, 1100-1400 CE, now in the Museo de América Madrid collection. Both feature split-color black and white faces so there are three views of each.

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 (i do not care if you're a fan of marvel. you shouldn't be, but it should be irrelevant either way)

my stupid fucking aunt loraine bought us an air friar for our wedding present 🤦‍♀️ the apartments barely big enough for the two of us now weve got this dumb asshole flying around preaching at us ... every time i get a migraine he tries to give me herbs and poultices 🙄

all year. all damn year we've been in constant battle with our middle schoolers who are endlessly determined to make this sign say 'hoe'. every time we fix it by the end of the day it's back to this. they never ruin the Phoenix and they never rip the whole thing off. somehow this entire school year we haven't been able to catch them. every time I see it I have to pretend like it isn't the funniest recurring bit in this stupid world

"Parent's rights" is as much of a red flag to me as "Family values". When you examine what people actually mean by these terms it always boils down to the usual "the family is a system of domination and many parents want even more control and violence within it".

It is very much like when people say they support "State's rights" (to slavery), as some in the notes have pointed out.

Sometimes it also means the parental right to keep child marriage legal.

the way these strikes get framed is always so funny to me

"the strike could stretch on until the end of summer" or the execs could pay their workers

"there won't be ANY new shows because of this strike" or the execs could pay their workers

"no more content for us because the mean old writers and actors are-" OR THE EXECS COULD PAY THEIR WORKERS
