Part 2 in my series of rewatching my favorite 90s/early 00’s shows. (click here to see Daria’s sketch)
Home Movies is such a delight. The dialogue is fantastic, and the vibe of making your own little cinematic masterpieces out of cardboard and dreams as a kid is spot on.
It’s made by Loren Bouchard and Brendon Small. Loren Bouchard then did Bob’s Burgers, which shares the voice actor of H. Jon Benjamin as Coach McGuirk here and Bob Belcher in Bob’s Burgers. Brendon Small (who is also the main character in this show, also named Brendon Small) went on to make Metaloclypse.

Hey Amy, does Shadow like dessert? If so, what kind?
Tumblr media
Amy: I've been trying to figure it out myself. Their favorite is Tiramisu but they're *really* picky. Like, they *can* eat anything, but you can tell pretty easily whether or not they enjoy it. Or, at least, I can tell.
[Amy sets her chin in her hand.]
Amy: I've got a working recipe going. I know they like it when I use the dark roast coffee, and they like dark chocolate or even straight bakers chocolate, and less sugar overall. What I want to try, though, is making it with chocolate from closer to the Equator. It's mixed with spices that I think they'll like...
[Amy huffs and puts her hands on her hips, shaking her head as she does so.]
Amy: Only person I know to mix cinnamon with their eggs... so it's worth a shot I guess.

ugjgjggg was indirectly asked if I want to go Abroad* for training on an instrument which uh might be super cool but I would then also have to transmit what I've learned (daunting) AND I have no idea what it means for what will be expected of me in the future. The instrument we'll PROBABLY be using is in Nowhere, Denmark, which is a place I thought I was done with and I really don't fancy spending several more months there. But there's a chance I would be responsible for setup and analysis and someone else would do the work? It doesn't help that the person who talked about this is a person I'm very frustrated with and so asking for more details feels hard. Ugh. I'll try to talk to my boss tomorrow but he knows as much as I do so it'll all be speculation either way.
This feels like a big decision friends!! It might impact what I do in the future and I have no way near enough information. Please universe send me an informational brochure complete with risk analyses and gantt charts for three different scenarios.
*this is embarrassing but neither I nor my boss who was also present for the meeting remember what organisation was hosting said training. I think it might be in Mexico though.

i am so so sorry for everything you and your town are suffering through right now, the wildfires in canada have been awful this summer and it's incredibly frustrating that the most coverage they got was about how bad they were polluting U.S. cities :/
thank you babe! it’s been very hard and I haven’t even had to evacuate yet, but everyone is on edge and a lot of people are suffering. I do find it extremely frustrating that the internet and American media don’t notice anything that happens anywhere else unless it affects them, but again that’s not the fault of any individual person but rather American culture as a whole. The way the american internet reacted to the fires in the east earlier this year kind of broke my heart, because the smoke cover in New York made international news while the fires themselves did not. to me it all seemed so callous, and really drove home the fact that my country’s suffering is actually a joke to some people (on TikTok, not here). It also made me very concerned for the viability of climate action. Anyway I appreciate your message and I’m hoping we come out of this with enough of the area left standing so that we are able to rebuild.

sometimes people need to use their critical thinking and even if someone is from certain country or belongs to certain minority or something don't just listen to them blindly and use a little bit of your own judgement maybe get a second opinion

Israel has cut water, electricity and food to Palestinians in Gaza. They are buying 10.000 M16 rifles and plan to distribute to civilian settlers in the West Bank to hunt down Palestinians. They're bombing the only way out of Gaza through Egypt, after telling refugees to flee through it, and have threatened the Egyptian government in case they let aid trucks pass through. Entire families, generations, are being wiped out and left to wander the streets hoping they don't get bombed.
Palestinians are using their last minutes of battery to let the world know about their genocide and are being met with a wall of "What about Hamas? What about the beheaded babies? Killing children on either side is bad!" even though the propaganda claims have been debunked over and over again. How cruel is it to ask somebody to condemn themselves before their last words? Or before grieving the loss of their entire families? When there's no such disclaimer to Israelis even though their government has shown over and over genocidal intent? Like who are you even trying to appease? What will your wishy washy statement do against decades of zionist thought infiltrating evangelical and Jewish stablishmemts?
Take action. Israel will fall back if public opinion turns its tide. The UK fell back on its bloody decision to cut aid to Palestine under public scrutiny. The USAmerican empire spends $3.8 billion dollars annually solely on this proxy war while its people suffer under a progressively military regime as well. News outlets are canceling last minute on Palestinian speakers while letting Israelis tell lies unchecked. Palestinian refugees are being targeted in ICE establishments and mosques are already being hounded by the FBI. France and Germany have banned pro-Palestine protests, while Netherlands and the UK have placed restrictions . You have the chance to stop this from turning into repeat of the Iraq war.
I want to do something but there's hardly anything for me to do from Brasil besides spreading the word and not letting these testimonies fall on deaf ears. I'm asking you to do this same ant work from wherever you are.

Concordia University in Montreal is welcoming 3 active duty IOF soldiers to speak on their campus on Monday.
keep in mind one of these soldiers has publicly advocated for the death of Muslim children, claiming that a 2 month old baby is an imminent threat. he has fully said that the IDF targets these children. not only has Concordia University been shutting down Muslim events on campus for no justifiable reason, they have decided to welcome terrorists onto their campus DESPITE their student population’s concerns. this is one of the most appalling actions i’ve seen a university take, especially considering the massacres that have impacted the families of Palestinian students at Concordia
the same man in this video, Aby Volcovich, has posted videos like this on his instagram
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE who will be on a university campus THIS Monday - would you feel safe? do you think your Palestinian/Arab/Muslim/ Jewish/BIPOC peers and allies will feel safe?
ID below the cut
ID: [First photo is a screenshot of a flyer promoting the event. It says “DiploAct's speaking delegation provides an authentic account of the nation's journey towards peace and stability since October 7th.” It has a photo of the three IOF soldiers with information about them which reads: “Nir Yosef is a Software engineer for Mastercard in Israel. He is also a reservist Major in the IDF, serving in the 8200 Intelligence corps unit. After October 7th he founded "The Israeli response" platform that teaches how to respond to anti-Israel and antisemitic claims worldwide. Ori Itzhaki is a 25 vear old computer science student at Reichman University, with a background in professional table tennis and tennis instruction. After five years in the "Egoz" commando unit, he now serves actively as an IDF reservist and fitness instructor. Proficient in Hebrew, English, and Arabic, he values diverse perspectives, embodying academic dedication, athletic prowess, and ongoing national service. Aby Volcovich is a 26 year old content creator and entrepreneur from Mexico raised in Canada, made Aliyah and joined the IDF as a lone soldier in the Nahal Brigade. Now a reservist, he serves on the northern Israeli border, actively defending and advocating for Israel both on the frontlines and online.”
The second photo is a testimony which reads: “BREAKING, WE RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT WE MUST SHARE: "As a Muslim student parent attending Concordia University, I occasionally bring my child to campus. As a woman who wears the hijab, hearing that Aby Volcovich, an IDF soldier scheduled to speak at Concordia on March 4th, holds the belief that our children are terrorists and that they deserve to be killed, has made me feel unsafe on Concordia's campuses. I, in all honestly, no longer feel comfortable bringing my child with me as I used to before."] END ID

US rice exports to Haiti, which account for the bulk of supplies of the country’s key food staple, contain unhealthy levels of arsenic and cadmium, heavy metals that can increase risks of cancer and heart disease, according to a recent study by the University of Michigan.
Haiti is among America’s top buyers of rice, alongside Mexico and Japan, and cheap imports are more affordable than local options in the Caribbean nation, the poorest state in the western hemisphere.
According to the study, average arsenic and cadmium concentrations were nearly twice as high in imported rice compared to the Haitian-grown product, with some imported samples exceeding international limits.
Nearly all imported rice samples exceeded the US Food and Drug Administration’s recommendation for children’s consumption. [...]
The study, which attributed the dominance of imported rice to lower import tariffs and long-term contracts signed during [US-supported] political turmoil in the late 1980s and 1990s, said Haiti imports nearly 90 per cent of its rice, almost exclusively from the US.[...]
When researchers ran the study in 2020, they found that Haitians on average consumed 85kg of rice per year, compared to 12kg in the US

Rock Hudson and his boyfriend Lee Garlington in a candid snapshot taken in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico while they were on vacation in 1963. Rock, then 38, met Lee, 25, on the Universal Studios lot the year before where Lee was working as an extra in films. "He was the biggest movie star in the world, and the rumors were that he was gay," Lee stated in a 2015 interview with People magazine. "So I thought, 'Let me get an eye on him.' I stood outside his cottage on the Universal lot, pretending to read Variety, which was probably upside down at the time. He walked out and down the street. He looked back once. That was it." The pair started seeing each other shortly afterwards and went to great pains to hide their relationship. "Nobody in their right mind came out," Garlington explained. "It was career suicide. We all pretended to be straight. I'd come over after work, spend the night and leave the next morning. I'd sneak out at 6 a.m. in my Chevy Nova and coast down the street without turning on the engine so the neighbors wouldn't hear. We thought we were being so clever." After a female fan broke into Hudson's estate and slept in their bed while they were out of town, their paranoia about being outed increased. "In a drawer on a side table were pictures of me with no shirt on," Garlington said. "She didn't find them, but it shook him up. He realized he was vulnerable. He put gates on the house after that." Though they broke up in 1965, Garlington had lifelong fond memories of Hudson. "He was a sweetheart. I adored him. Rock had no pretense. He was always casual. He liked to wear chinos and moccasins around the house and hang around and watch television. We'd go on road trips and sometimes he wouldn't tell the studio where he was going." Following Rock's death from AIDS in 1985 at the age of 59, Garlington learned how much their relationship had meant to Hudson when his biographer, Sara Davidson, revealed he'd told her in his dying days that Lee was his "true love". Garlington recalled: "I broke down and cried. I just lost it. He said his mother and I were the only people he ever loved. I had no idea I meant that much to him."
