My mom thinks people choose to have social anxiety and i want to see how many people disagree on that
I need to start saying this to people.
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!!
And was like, uh, are you missing something there, buddy? Like all that red in northern Africa? Because that's a lot of red.
And I was going to give them the benefit of doubt, since I don't know much about the climate in Northern Africa, aside from Morroco and Egypt, which seem like really hot places, so you know, maybe it's normal there?
But nope, that's not the case:
Some selections from the article:
"The region has been experiencing some of the most intense heat waves in recent years, but in many cases they’ve been under-reported due to misconceptions about Africans’ ability to withstand them.
“Africa is seen as a sunny and hot continent,” said Amadou Thierno Gaye, a research scientist and professor at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, the capital of Senegal. “People think we are used to heat, but we are having high temperatures for a longer duration. Nobody is used to this.”
"The Sahel, for instance, has been heating at a faster pace than the global average despite being hot already. Burkina Faso and Mali, both in West Africa’s Sahel, are among countries that are set to become almost uninhabitable by 2080, if the world continues on its current trajectory, a UK university study found. Its people are especially vulnerable due to shrinking resources, such as water, and poor amenities, and a dearth of trees and parks means there are few options for places to cool off."
This is also why “other poor people should be less selfish about paying tax” is a bad argument. Get rid of the corporate welfare and we won’t fucking have to.

How interesting! I’m used to Haga being written 芳賀, and if you gave me a thousand guesses for an alternate character combination, I *never* would’ve come up with 垪和.
垪 is also a rare character. It’s only used in proper names, and, in fact, that’s the only definition for it in most Japanese dictionaries. Huh. It’s read ハ. Don’t stress about learning it; just remember that similar characters may get a ハ-row on-yomi from the 并 radical. For example, 塀 fence and 併 join/collective (both read ヘイ), or 餅 mochi (ヘイ or ヒョウ).
和 means harmony, Japanese style, peace, or soften. For readings by vocabulary, the transitive/intransitive verb pair 和らげる・和らぐ (やわ.らげる/やわ.らぐ) means to soften or relieve / to be softened/mitigated. 和む (なご.む) means to soften or calm down, and the adjective 和やか (なご.やか) means mild, congenial, or peaceable. There’s also 和える (あえ.る) to dress (vegetables, salads, etc.), as in goma-ae. Finally, the on-yomi are ワ (most common, and often used to refer to Japan), オ, or カ.
