Animators are so scary, like are they even aware of how talented they are? Are they? They draw 2 shapes of the same size like it's nothing and have them flow together in completely non-choppy manner. Why are there wizards just out and about and can they teach me their magic tricks
i just realized i can make more dca aus and not just candy store AND NOW MY BRAINS GONNA TURN INTO GOO BECAUSE IM EXCITED THINKING ABOUT SUN N MOON AUGH
still thinking about the brainrot that fast fashion has caused in people, like i made this pair of pants that are black and white with a cool flowery design, and an acquaintance saw them and said "wow i'd pay like 20 dollars for you to make me a pair" and i could barely think with how utterly horrified i was at that; i told them that 20 dollars wouldn't even cover the materials, let alone the hours of work that went into cutting, sewing, ironing, hemming, altering, etc. they just had this look on their face when i told them that, when i said i wouldn't make them a pair for even 100 dollars because that was still way too low of an amount, a look that said "you're crazy for thinking that those cost 100 dollars" and maybe i am crazy but holy shit, 20 dollars for a pair of handmade, durable, lined pants fitted specifically to your measurements? 20 dollars for upwards of 60 hours of work? 20 dollars for several yards of high-quality fabric, thread, and buttons? 20 dollars???

You know what? Destroy the "people in rural areas are all ignorant conservatives" stereotype and start mocking the "trad"/anti-feminist/neonazi people that are obsessed with rural areas despite having never been to one
I'm absolutely laughing my ass off at all these "Traditional Femininity" blogs that post nothing but aesthetic photos of supposed "Rural Life"
Lady this is a skinny influencer in a frilly white dress that's never had dirt on it, with her hair in professionally-done beachy waves, doing a photoshoot in a field using a basket of strawberries bought at walmart as a prop.
If you saw an actual woman farmer you would think you were seeing the Masculinization Of Women By The Degenerate Left
Can confirm, went to school with farm folk. The wrestling team was afraid of the 4H and Future Farmers of America girls.
I live in a no-stoplight-no-starbucks-no-fast-food town in the backwoods of Virginia, and I have seen a toothless redneck at the gas station go off on someone for being a dick about a trans woman, telling him that if he didn't want to show some basic manners, he should move up north.
good time to remember that the Southern U.S. population is significantly more progressive and ethnically diverse than you've been taught to believe.
southern states are gerrymandered to hell--specifically to prevent the majority from overthrowing the conservative political chokehold. this is by design and a direct inheritance of the civil war (to keep former slaves and their descendants as politically disenfranchised as possible). Southern politics do not reflect southern reality. And neither do media portrayals. there is a reason the media wants you to think of the south as white, conservative, poor, and uneducated: to keep southern progressives isolated. to alienate northern liberals from disenfranchised southerners (especially southerners of color).
it's just another divide-and-conquer strategy. because that's what conservatives are good at--controlling the narrative in order to rewrite history and sow discord between groups that should be helping each other. Because unity is powerful, and it makes us dangerous.
tl;dr the south has always been more liberal than you think, it's the decades of voter suppression & systematic disenfranchisement controlling the narrative. (and yes this extends to gender and queer issues too)
Just wanted to do a messy doodle of @themeeplord ‘s cryptid! Eclipse design from Cryptid Sightings by @naffeclipse
Man I wish this cuddly monster was real😔
this week's "Show of the Week" in the TSBS Server is about someone breaking into the Daycare's cookie jar.
I took the liberty to do a little crossover :3c
oH RIGHT This was before LotR pioneered cgi for massed crowd behavior
There was so much cool cgi in those movies I just assumed all the clones were too but back then I guess they still couldn’t really be
this is so sexy
Drew @venomous-qwille ‘s lovely Clip.exe in the magma today, cleaned it up later in Krita. I’m so normal for Ghost in the Machine right now… so normal
Pet peeve: "slow fashion" content that repeats the statistic that the "average" usamerican throws away 80 pounds of clothing every year. This is misleading at best and it's ridiculous how many different accounts and publications I see repeating it with zero fact-checking or basic reasoning skills. That number comes from aggregate statistics about textile waste per year, divided by population count. Afaict it's from these numbers from EPA about total garments and footwear produced per year, which are actually supplied by a textile industry group. So this number specifically includes all garments that are never purchased by an individual consumer and go directly to waste -- because it's not a measure of individual behavior! And it simply does not make sense on a basic level: most clothing items are well under one pound in weight; do you know anyone who has thrown away more than 80 garments this year, and if you do, did they also throw away that much clothing the previous year or was this a rare overhaul? But every cute little snip of "eco" content insists on breathlessly exclaiming "believe it or not, it's true"! Is it?
If you wanted to do any gut-checking at all you could look at eg the BLS consumer reports for average spending on "apparel and services" per year (which includes clothes, outerwear, athletic wear, footwear, jewelry, and watches, for children and adults, as well as costs for services like dry cleaning, repairs, and home sewing costs). The most recent report is from 2021 and breaks out average spending by "consumer unit" size: one-person households averaging $1020/year, two-person households $1438/yr, three-person households $2187/yr, and so on. Obviously there are a lot of ways you could look at this type of data; some people spend much more and some much less; and $700 is enough for one person to buy eighty pounds of garments if volume was their only object, but does that really sound like "average" behavior?
Anyway clothing and textile waste is a huge problem and there's plenty to change about usamerican consumption patterns I just think it's extremely annoying how often I see this factoid used to frame misleading and confused discussions of consumer behavior that peter out into exhortations to recycle and buy from small businesses, with absolutely no attention to how waste is created or handled by corporations. And I'm tired of it!
