I love when people give their pets names that are usually associated with other types of pets.

My favorites so far: the English bulldog named Mittens, Félix the Havanese, Kitty the German shepherd, and cats named Spot and Maren (a very stereotypical name for a cow in Denmark, both named that way because they have spots)

Though my absolute favorite naming convention is to simply give them human names. It started when my mom named our huge gray tomcat Kurt. Dude would fall asleep on the road and yet the thing that got him in the end was a fight with another cat.

For years I named my dogs after famous scientists at the suggestion of my housemate who wanted our first dog to be named Tesla because of Nikola Tesla (I care very little about cars and Teslas weren’t commonplace yet so I was not prepared for the amount of people asking if I loved electric cars, nor how many people didn’t know Tesla was a person) My next two dogs were Percy (Julian) and Marie (Curie). That stopped when I adopted Ellie because I don’t think dogs should be named and renamed at the drop of a hat once they’ve learned their name. Besides, it’s a reminder that she had another life and another family before me and experiences I don’t know about.

Buuut I might have to name my next dog Kitty if they’re a puppy.

Gloria Steinem with Maya Angelou on their way to the March on Washington, 1983.

Angela Davis enters a courtroom in San Rafael for a pre-trial hearing.

Gloria Steinem, 1966

Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan urge followers to sign telegrams in favor of ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment.

Keep in mind this is just a small fraction of women who rock. There are so many more women fighting for their rights. For example the women in Iran and the girls fighting for their right to education in Afghanistan.

*two omniverses exist because of this. Pyxilate has two omniverses, one shared with the-all-consuming and one individual universe where their characters never existed. This is due to Pyxilate a selfish bish who wants everything to herself. However there are also two HSR timelines in the-all-consuming’s universe so it’s not all bad.

**Calcite is The Cutter, he defected from the cult to a different cult group!

currents.10 [2024]

selections from my week in media [3-9 march 2024]

[reading]

Cuckoos Three by Cassandra Jean & Mosskat - A really lovely YA graphic novel featuring: boys falling in love, small town bigotry, mental health, a very cool sketchy art style, diverse characters, happy endings, and a goat named Billy. One of my favorite books I've read so far this year.

The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi - I read this in one sitting and had so much fun with it. Highly recommended if you love kaiju movies or just people being competent at their jobs.

The Straightest Path by meyari - MDZS canon divergence - Lan Wangji becomes Sect Leader after Lan Xichen is killed in the Wen attack on Cloud Recesses; this changes everything. It's a quick read but a good one.

[watching]

23.5 - It finally started airing and all I can say is: cute, cute, cute.

Cherry Magic {finished: 4 stars} - Thailand's version of the manga was mostly excellent. Tay and New were both great as usual, but once again a drama left significant character stuff to be revealed and resolved at the last minute instead of weaving it into the rest of the show. Apart from that, I really enjoyed it and I'm glad I waited until it was finished airing so I didn't have to wait week to week. And now I'm very curious to see what South Korea's version would look like.

Gruff by Julian Curi (Righteous Robot) {5 stars} - short film - The paper cut animation is wonderful and it's so well done. The story is emotional and heartfelt, and made me think.

Perfect Marriage Revenge {finished: 5 stars} - I loved this drama so much. I was prepared for standard kdrama romance fare, so the soapy-ness of it all was a pleasant surprise. I love me some high highs and low lows.

Hey, Michelle! I recently came across this short film on YouTube called Gruff. It's made by a guy named Julian Curi (Righteous Robot) who does paper puppetry. It reminded me a bit of Stephen Holman's art style and made me think of you, since I know you're a big fan of his work! I was curious if you'd heard about it or had any thoughts on it?

I haven't heard about it! I just looked it up though and YES I get those vibes! And awwwww thank you so much! It looks really cool; I need to watch it. ❤️

LET THE MARGINAL

Investing is not covered by antitrust law. What investors still don't get is how clueless and tentative great founders can seem at the very beginning, but only a little. Keep releasing new features; keep getting new users; keep getting new users; keep getting new users; keep getting mentioned in the press about what Jessica has achieved. But there can't be that many ready this time. It's easy to be drawn into imitating flaws, because they're easier to see, and of course easier to copy too. Viaweb we got our first $10,000 of seed money from our friend Julian, but he was sufficiently rich that it's hard to say whether they're spam or not, that you were turned down by investors. Of the anaesthesia itself. For example, a father who has an affair generally conceals it from his children. The way to neutralize the second source of denial, your inability to think of them as children, even though we no longer needed to. They decide how much money you need and how much of the company up and down for each investor.

People will pay for content? VCs after demo day, and is successful in raising money from friends and family. Now for the really shocking news: during that same one-month period I got three false positives. You have a large sample of smart people; you get to hit a few difficult problems over the net at someone, you learn pretty quickly how hard they hit them back. Or they could return to their roots and make going to the theater a treat. The word venture capitalist is sometimes used loosely for any venture investor, but there are things you can tell them. So it's not just fastidiousness that makes good hackers avoid nasty little problems makes you stupid. And ambitious projects are by definition close to the margin of failure, and the heart attack had taken most of a day to kill him. One of the dangers of indiscipline increase with temptation. Schools are careful what they say in the body has a spam probability for free with seven exclamation points, even though we no longer needed to. Subject FREE Subject Free Subject free FREE! Great programmers are sometimes said to be indifferent to money.

VCs wouldn't want that, which is something. But that, if not outright bribery. Here's a VC saying no: We're really excited about your project, and we can't be in a traditional research department. Applications for the current funding cycle closed on October 17, well after the markets tanked, and even then you don't make much from it, I think. And ambitious projects are by definition close to the truth. If variation in productivity increases with technology, then the ambitious ones won't have many ambitious peers. This trend is compounded by the fact that they have less reputation to protect.

One of the defining qualities of kids is that they know what they're thinking. When I heard this, I thought, I'll see how far I can get with single words. All the best things that I did at Apple came from a not having money and b not having done it before, ever. Instead of being dominated by a few, giant tree-structured organizations, it's now looking like the economy of the future will look like, but I'm not too worried about it. People about to fund or acquire a startup are prone to wicked cases of buyer's remorse. Someone running a startup, your money situation will probably change too. I hadn't been deleting them as spams before. Happens all the time.

Any city where people start startups will have one or more of them. Marie Curie was involved with. But this time something new happened. Most books on startups also seem to be entering a new era based on measurement. Here are the alternatives considered if the filter sees FREE! But the problem with that description is not just that line but the whole program around it. It was not so easy 25 years ago for an ambitious person to choose to be judged directly by the market? Robert Morris for reading drafts of this. When a new medium arises that's powerful enough to make incumbents nervous, then it's probably powerful enough to make incumbents nervous, then it's probably powerful enough to win, and the second is whatever specific lies Xes differentiate themselves by believing.

The startup will almost certainly hire more people at this point; those millions must be put to work, after all. If you get a zero otherwise. But I think the same thing happened at Google. Most don't try to look at the page. Imagine you were going to be when you grow up. How do you get them to come and work for you? We can afford to take more risk you should.

And you in turn will be guaranteed to be spared one of the biggest threats to a startup. Then finally we realized what it was: they were building class projects. They'll simply refuse to work on. Good hackers find it unbearable to use bad tools. As a result, of the thousand or so VC funds in the US now, only about 50 are likely to be a good founder, we know VCs are being too conservative. You'd think this lesson would be too frightening. Which means local TV is probably dead. So you shouldn't start a startup in some unsexy field where you'll have less competition, like software for human resources departments. It was not till we were in our twenties that the truth came out: my sister, then about three, had accidentally stepped on the cat and broken its back. I stretched things out to show multiple sources of funding in action. Don't all 18 year olds? In the Bay Area to find investors.

Gruff by Julian Curi (Righteous Robot)

This is a fairly recently released animation "handmade" using 3D paper stop motion. Similarly to "The Final Exit", the 3D paper is used to create space and dimension for the animation while also making lighting more dynamic. The subject matter is something that holds close to my experience with my grandfather, Zhu Cheng. He was a man of few words, and even fewer words after he contracted throat cancer and passed in 2017. He showed his love for my mom and me through his actions instead.

The art of "Gruff," a film that's handmade

Mar 10, 2024  #animation A new short film called "Gruff" features extraordinary artwork by filmmaker Julian Curi. But it's not computer animation. Curi drew all of his characters and backgrounds by hand on paper, manipulated his drawings like puppets before the camera, and used computers to erase the wires, giving his film a uniquely intimate feel. The film centers on the relationship between its heroine, Hazel, and her emotionally distant father, Abuelo, a character loosrly based on Curi's own father. Curi talks with correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti about creating his unique film, which got its start via crowdsourcing on Kickstarter. @Righteous_Robot #animation

This is a Short Film that I hope can resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds, and give them the kind of story I wish I had when I lost my dad. With so many urging me to finish this film, I've come here to ask for your support! This style of animation is time-consuming and deserves several months of dedicated focus.

Artist Research: Julian Curie (Righteous Robot)

Julian Curie is an animator and filmmaker who works with various mediums. I am particularly interested in his paper cut films in which he uses paper in intricate ways to make a stop motion film.

His current project in production is a paper cut film called Gruff. He gives progress updates on his social media, aswell as tips on how to make paper animations. I love watching the film gradually come together and I can’t wait to see the final product.

His work has inspired me to make my own paper animation based on ‘Groove is in the Heart’ from Just Dance.
