character customization screens are like “you can alter your character’s body type!” and then it looks like this
video game companies be like “we offer a diverse array of skin tones for a wide array of character types”

What a year this week has been.
It’s Monday.
It sure as hell is.
The earlier in the day Monday you reblog the funnier this gets
the fruits of today’s labor! just a minute of animatic left now.
People often mistake “your feelings are valid” with “your reaction based on your feelings is ok”
Which isn’t the same thing
You’re entitled to how you feel. You’re not entitled to behave however you want based off of those feelings
May 13, 2021 - Immigration cops tried to arrest two men in Glasgow, Scotland, on the day of Eid. A huge crowd of locals in the area of Pollokshields, chanting “these are our neighbours, let them go!”, turned up and boxed the police van in for seven hours, withstanding attempts by police to break through the crowd, until the cops were forced to let the two men go.

WHAT A FUCKING RESULT!!!
This isn’t even the whole story - it gets so much better.
This was not a pre-planned event. The home office just showed up in the morning to take them. A neighbour tweeted asking for help and people mobilised and united entirely on their own. None of these people woke up today knowing this is what they were going to do.
That man who was under the van? He layed there for EIGHT HOURS so it couldn’t move.
The local mosque opened up and started handing out refreshments to the people protesting:
And when the men were finally released (after 9 hours of being the the back of the van) the whole crowd walked them to the mosque so they would be safe:
This was the ultimate “fuck you” to the British government. It was an absolutely incredible show of solidarity and what happens when people mobilise.
The power of the people is stronger than the people in power.
Radiation is insane. There are rocks out there that will pull the seams of your organs apart if you stand too close to them.

Good.
Atlanta photographers Regis and Kahran Bethencourt think of themselves as “dream makers.”
That’s because the couple makes kids’ wildest dreams come true in portrait shoots. The results are conceptual, highly stylized photos of children dressed as visions plucked straight from their imaginations.
The Bethencourts hope the portraits transcend the typical images of beauty.
“We get so many amazing ideas,” Kahran told NPR’s Morning Edition.
Jhene Santana Brown, 15, a client from Providence, R.I., wanted to become a fairytale lion.
“I just loved lions and my favorite movie is Narnia,” Brown said. “So I wanted it to be fierce but also soft and kind.”
Twelve-year-old Whitcliff McKnight, a client from Smyrna, Ga., had a session that involved three distinct costumes. The inspiration: “renaissance man.” That’s what his mom calls him.
“The first [portrait] comes from my love of travel and foreign languages and the arts,” McKnight said. “The athlete theme comes from the sports I play, including soccer and basketball. And the futuristic type of theme comes from my love of video games.”
Mermaid: Alaya Barton
The shoots are affirming, says Dr. Terica Barton of Tampa, Fla, whose 8-year-old daughter, Alaya, transformed into an underwater mermaid for her portrait.
“I think it’s absolutely important for little African American children and children of all races just because it shows them and highlights their beauty, it highlights their difference,” Barton said. “And sometimes it’s difficult in this country raising children that aren’t the majority and instilling in them the beauty and their differences and making them celebrate their differences and their culture.”

That beauty is encapsulated in Glory: Magical Visions of Black Beauty, which features more than 100 photographs.
“We really wanted to shatter the conventional standards of beauty for Black kids. We highlighted a variety of kids across the African diaspora,” Kahran said. “We bring to life past, present and future visions of Black culture.”
Each child in the book has their own unique backstory: an 8-year-old who is already a neuroscience expert, a 10-year-old DJ and a little girl who learned to read at the age of 1.

“We were noticing all these kids that we were running across on a daily basis who just didn’t have the platform,” Kahran said. “And so we definitely want to be able to use our platform to highlight them and highlight their excellence and highlight everything that they’re doing so that the world can see kind of this Black excellence on display.”
And that is, simply put, Regis says, “being yourself unapologetically.”

Letting the Cat out of the Bag Anonymous
“What did you tell that man just now?” “I told him to hurry.” “What right do you have to tell him to hurry?” “I pay him to hurry.” “How much do you pay him?” “Four dollars a day.” “Where do you get the money?” “I sell products.” “Who makes the products?” “He does.” “How many products does he make in a day?” “Ten dollars’ worth.” “Then, instead of you paying him, he pays you $6 a day to stand around and tell him to hurry.” “Well, but I own the machines.” “How did you buy the machines?” “Sold products and bought them.” “Who made the products?” “Shut up. He might hear you.”
From United Automobile Worker, October 1937.
