no animal was harmed during the making of this video. not one. for the few minutes that we were shooting film, the guns of each hunter fell silent. the industrial bolt throwers observed a moment's peace and the jaws of every predator hung softly open. no fish bit any hook and the bait worms held off on drowning only until the cameras stopped. the tails of ruminants ceased to flick just as their attendant flies, in unison, landed on their flanks to catch their tiny breaths. a spider instantly stopped winding silk around a wasp, patiently waiting for the caesura to end. a young veterinarian paused with the syringe in their hand. somewhere, a colicky baby stopped biting its mother's nipple and nursed happily for the very first time. we're sorry. we're sorry it couldn't have been longer. we didn't know this would happen.

I feel like the thing thats really different about the polish trans experience is that because the language is heavily gendered and asking about a persons gender is very much not normalized, now that my body looks mostly androgynous people started referring to me with grammatical forms that have never been uttered by human tongue before. Last week a woman couldn’t decide what gender I was so after trying several she settled on speaking to me in plural and infinitive

too many people are accepting the false premise that iran has nukes. which would be their legal right btw, but there’s no evidence that they have nuclear weapons. this is not the “start of ww3” it’s another occupation based on a lie

It's Juneteenth yall. And I'm not letting this day go unmarked.
Black people fight for everybody. We stand in solidarity with women, lgbt people, poor people all over the world of every skin color and background. Every religion and nationality.
Today, stand with us. Be with us. Tell a black person you love them. Hug a black person (with consent). Ask that hot black girl out today. Make a black person smile. Black lives matter to everybody and you matter to us.
Stand with us on Juneteenth like we stand with you all year round, and I hope a happy Pride month continues for all of us
💝

Learning Japanese as an anime fan can be difficult because there’s a lot of negativity thrown around towards people who “are just learning Japanese because of anime”. Personally, I find this very demotivating and I’m sure many other people do because yes, anime is a large part of why I want to learn Japanese.
So I want to pass on a piece of advice that has stuck with me for years. I don’t actually remember where I heard it.
*there is no bad motivation to learn a language*
Languages connect people and that is inherently a good thing. If something inspires you to learn, don’t think twice about if you’re learning it for the right reason just enjoy the process. Worst case scenario you have an increased knowledge of other cultures and ability to communicate.
#i started learning really basic asl so i could better draw it in comics!#i messed up the grammatical structures a lot early on bc i was just doing spoken english word for word but as i go throughout my work#i can see where it’s improved and how to better incorporate a visual language into comics#it’s been awesome i hope to become better at it. comics are pretty much my motivation for anything#including wanting to learn japanese so i can better understand hand lettering / otomotopoeia / text in manga that doesn’t quite fit as well#in english#oh and bc i wanna localize the saiki k anime translation. S1 was so good. why did they stop the dub. i could fix her
