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!!
No male WWI pinups exist yet so my gay ass decided to change that at 1 AM and I ended up looking like a propaganda poster with homoerotic undertones so
Some of you mistook the belt around my tunic for me wearing a crop top, but then I thought, what if it WAS a crop top instead?
“No Charles, I will not be taking criticism” I say whilst making direct eye contact with my WWI soldier ancestor’s portrait hanging on the wall in full view of me wearing my uniform with tiny shorts posing like an Edwardian renter in front of my phone taped to a tripod at 2:26 AM
People told me they want more so here’s to being anti-war!! War is a trap lads!! Lord Kitchener’s ghost is going to manifest in my room after I post this but I WILL fight him!!

Yes Luck Affects All Internal Dicerolls But It Is Not An Effective Replacement For Actually Building A Character Who Reflects The Type Of Gameplay You Desire would be a beautiful name for a baby girl
Naming my first-born Stop Releasing The Attack Button As Soon As You Press It, Damage Is Not A Random Dice Roll But Instead Determined By How Long You Keep The Attack Button Pressed Before Releasing, No Wonder You Keep Complaining Online That You Quit Two Hours In Because Every Enemy Takes Forever To Kill, You Keep Doing 1-Damage Attacks with Your 1-36 Damage Axe Of Course Every Enemy’s Gonna Take Forever To Kill Like That
Beautiful names but where were they in the baby name loading screens 😭
it used to be in the manual! it was very common for older rpgs to contain barebones tutorials ingame while the crunchier stuff was in the manual, but that got lost in translation to the modern all-digital format
my post was mostly a cheeky way to get people to internalise the information
@obsidiannebula No need to buy anything. If you got the game through either Steam or GOG a PDF of the manual comes included as an extra download. If not, it’s on archive.org
We have GOT to stop being assholes to people with receding and balding hairlines. There’s not a single person that it can’t affect. It affects trans men, particularly on hormones, it affects trans women, particularly those not on hormones, it affects people with endocrine issues, something that’s becoming more prevalent and common, and it can affect people without a particular cause, including cis women. It’s a normal part of being human and we NEED to stop dehumanizing and humiliating ppl for it
My bf started losing his hair in his early 20s and the effect it’s had on him is devastating.
He’s an actor and he was dropped by his agent after he stopped hiding his hair loss. The roles he was cast in narrowed and shifted from more heroic characters to villains, and eventually he became so miserable about it that he stopped going to auditions altogether.
He used to enjoy dyeing his hair bright colours, and he lost that means of self expression. It alienated him from his own appearance, which knocked him back in coming out and exploring his queerness. The way he talks about it often feels dysmorphic. He says shaving makes him feel like he’s “rotting” - like he’s “scraping the mold off [his] head”.
I’ve seen drunk people and teenagers yell at him in the street and mock his baldness. I’ve seen people come up to him and slap his head or touch it without asking for permission. I’ve witnessed this behaviour from other trans people and women who I know would absolutely kick off if he took such a degrading or entitled attitude towards a part of their body, but seem to think it’s OK to do it to him.
Since going bald people perceive him as more masculine. He feels people are more suspicious of him. Women are less likely to approach him. Folks are quicker to put him in a box or misread his behaviour as aggressive or threatening, when the reality is that he’s neurodivergent and can’t conform to rigid social norms.
Baldness is a heavily gendered characteristic. If someone is conventionally masculine enough and/or is protected by other intersecting powers and privileges (eg wealth) then baldness can reinforce their maleness and the harm to their social standing is minimised. But if their performance of maleness is complicated by something like queerness or disability, it creates a dissonance. They have what is perceived as a hypermasculine trait standing in sharp contrast with their refusal/failure to perform normative, idealised masculinity.
And that’s how baldness is typically read - as failure. Especially when it exists outside of wealthy, successful, heterosexual masculinity but tbh even there too - just look at all the jokes about Jeff Bezos’ baldness or Elon Musk getting hair plugs. It’s similar to insulting Trump over his weight. Like yeah fuck those guys but all you’re really doing is revealing to the fat and bald people in your life that you think their bodies are deserving of mockery.
And God help you if you’re a bald woman. All women with receding hairlines are at a huge risk from transmisogyny.
Sorry for the essay. Baldness is absolutely a body neutrality issue. It’s an ageism issue, and a trans issue, and I WISH there was a broader recognition of this.
