there's something so poetic about coyote vs acme being the thing that causes wb's 'the producers' ass scheme of shitcanning movies for tax breaks to blow up in their face and cause them to turn to the camera, blink twice, and dissolve into a little pile of ash that their eyes fall down into with a little bounce

#to be honest. my partner keeps saying that movies that were canned for tax breaks should be public domain and i agree #we literally paid for them? they're ours now????#anyway i really hope it makes it out into theatres/streaming and i'm glad that the backlash worked #but also like. why shitcan a nearly finished movie that made it to test screenings when the industry's been at a standstill for a year?#where's you buy your intelligence? at the stupid store?

Yet another jewish privilege: Stores putting sales on holiday items because (apparently) management has no clue when "those people's" holidays are.

They put chanukah candles on sale for $0.71 a box the week before chanukah

#jumblr #meme #personal thoughts tag #those stores wouldn't DREAM about putting xmas stuff on sale which makes this extra funny #look if stores keep doing this then... i hope they never look up when the holidays are frankly #i am a COLLEGE STUDENT. let me be cheap 😭😭😭#tbf thaose stores have notoriously cheap judaica #i got my shabbos candles for a couple bucks and i'm good for like... six weeks now #honestly if i were a manager i'd do that on purpose #just make everyone think that nobody'll buy them anyway so we should just put a sale on it #when all along.... it was THE WEEK OF CHANUKAH THE WHOLE TIME (evil laughter commences)#edit for the first tag: i meant putting xmas stuff on sale DURING the xmas season. the day after xmas is fair game ofc #and i respect that. get those sales. jews apparently get them 24/7 unless it's a jewish store (because they know better)

working in a factory has you thinking so much about the insane chain of labor & transport that goes into making literally anything

#like first you realize that You are making & doing things that you previously had thought - if you'd thought abt it at all - were automated #& you become incredibly aware of how all the materials you're working with came from somewhere - these plastic clips are from france; this #fabric is from india etc. and that there are people in factories there making those things and that they are also probably getting their #materials from somewhere #one of the little things that makes me think about this the most is we have these 50m rolls of cotton banding we see onto canvas & nets #and in theory it should be all one piece but sometimes it's actually two pieces which you discover when you get far enough in the roll and #find that there's a join where it's been stitched together by hand (!). which is a little annoying bc we can't use that bit so you have #to cut that but out & stitch it together again on the machine which interrupts what you were sewing before & slows you down But it's so #striking to me bc like it's really easy to look at this banding & it's so exactly the same & obviously machine made it's Really easy to #forget that there are people there running these machines. who notice there's a break & have to stop what they're doing & get a needle &#thread and stitch it together. by hand! like someone somewhere has handled exactly where I'm touching it & i don't even know where in the #world they are!#the other place this happens is often on the selvedge edge of the fabric there's writing in pencil i don't know ye meaning of but evidently #was important to the process somewhere & someone wrote that out #idk like it's really easy to watch those videos of really specific machines in factories & convince yourself that everything is automated #but the truth is the vast majority of stuff is not & is made by people doing that. & even when it is there are people running those machine #<- and i'm not saying this in a soppy way tbc. this whole system is a nightmare of exploitation & to some degree I'm just continually amaze #by how insane this whole process is & also how completely un-transparent it is unless you are made to think abt it #another thing is noticeable when you look at our orders that most of what we sell isn't to customers it's to shops who then sell to custome #which then makes you think like. those plastic clips from france are they actually made in france or are we just buying them from france?#are they actually made by underpaid people in a country the name of which is completely lost to the chain of production at this point #anyways none of this is new it's just when you are working in a factory using this stuff you start wondering like.#what's the factory like that the person who stitched this banding together like. what's their day like there #wish we could talk abt how fucked up this all is - for them especially probably - together #thoughts

goddd the trope of “we could always rely on each other and you were the person i trusted most in the world but then you chose someone else over me and our relationship has never been the same” always hits me so hard, but ESPECIALLY when there are queer undertones to relationship one but then heteronormativity wins out. like god it’s such a sucker punch. so many queer people have experienced that really close same sex relationship where you thought you were going to be with that person together, even if you didn’t even realize it was romantic at the time, but then they became interested in the opposite sex and everything changed.

GIRLS5EVA • Summer Dutkowsky

#girls5eva #girls5evaedit #summer dutkowsky #gloria mcmanus #busy philipps #wickie roy #dawn solano #sine's gifs #does Summer know that Bette Davis "tried being a lesbian” and that Crawford tried to seduce her multiple times? the audiobooks probably #didn't cover that <3 #also it would have been topical had she mentioned something about tatu--larry sounds as gross as ivan.#she could have commented on the hypocrisy. the girls pretended to be gay to sell their first album abroad.#meanwhile in local interviews they'd say 'we are normal and have boyfriends.' one of them is openly homophobic supports putin and has run #for office.#anyway i know the series has no such intentions and sum is supposed to be a good/supportive sister but #that doesn't mean I don't think she would benefit from dating a lady now that she is independent/her own person #(preferably gloria but honestly any lady would do)#it wouldn't be hard to buy given that she hasn't had the opportunity to explore her sexuality what with the purity rings and upbringing #//#i wanted to add more moments but eh

Hello Aru, I have a non-WLB question Is Yoshi a Belgian Malinois? *You don't have to answer right away, I understand your inbox must be flooding rn

yeah he is! my little baby man

(him and our other dog koda, koda is a husky/shepherd mutt)

#answers #we got him for free cause they guy who was selling them couldnt find anyone to buy them #and he was sick of 10 giant puppies destroying his house #yoshi is so good though #he's so smart #his training is going so much easier than kodas #koda wont do shit #she's like 'fuck you' in dog form #she just doesnt care about people pleasing or treats #she knows everything but has no motivation #i understand you koda.#however.#you're a brat.#anyway yoshi cares what we think VERY much and it is making him so so easy to train and i love him

Noodles and Tea’s work inspired me fr

#phineas and ferb #gravity falls #perry the platypus #bill cipher #crossover #heinz doofenshmirtz #major monogram #great googly moogly #And at this one stand there was this forest service guy #and he was selling these really amazing muffins #they had Dunkleberries and EVERYTHING they looked delicious but they had nuts in them so I didn’t buy them #(I’m not allergic or anything I just think that there is a time and a place where you don’t put nuts in food #like seriously this thing was STUFFED with pecans and I was like that’s gonna ruin the flavor! Pecan…. that’s a really weird word you know #like try saying it out loud a couple times. Pecan.. peCHAAANs. Pea-can. hm. hm.#anyway)#but this guy had some other really random junk lying around so I decided to take a look and I actually found something really msyerious!#there was this book with a big ‘2’ on it and I couldn’t find the other ones so I was like hey where’s the rest of these and he was like #we already sold them off and I was like WHAT that’s so crazy #like if you’re gonna sell a set of books #WHY would you sell each one separately cuz that would really suck to just like #start in the middle of a series or get hooked and never be able to continue it #and I was pretty wary anyways cuz it looked so CRYPTIC and WEIRD #but he said he’d give it to me for 92 cents and baby that’s a STEAL #couldn’t NOT take it #I mean it sat around on my desk for months and I mainly just used it as a paperweight until one night #they stopped broadcasting America’s Got Talent on my channel and out of SPITE I decided to find a way to defy American Tradition #and read a book #….what? ohhhh you though I was gonna build an inator over this #no at the time I was already working on a Tuesday Inator that would force every Calendar in the Tri-State area to always have every day #as Tuesday so I could ALWAYS have a discount on tacos! do you know how OVERPRICED those things are when they’re not on Tuesday?

So monster high g1 put Clawdeen and Toralei together in time for a Pride comic… they got together off page… and now new stuff is released where they’ve broken up, again off page. Like 2 months after it was announced they were together at all.

#all those comments on monster high’s social medias asking for more #this is what we get #these weird af books and comics breaking up your favorites #it’s just so disappointing?? like what #anyway I hope no g1 purists come at g3 for anything anymore because g1 fucked up your favorite couples too #I would like to remind fans to show how we feel with our money #but I know most of the mh fandom buys everything even when they hate it lol #monster high #mh g1 #toradeen #toralei stripe #clawdeen wolf #personal #just. like. talk about a cash grab.#if they really do have the gall to make a two pack of them after this

MINIMUM???? AVG PRICE IS 70???? for HIM???#so what i need yall to do is i need a recs so i can infiltrate hasbro and character assassinate ss so bad the merch price drops back to $30 #for the small cost of 20 rec letters i promise to destroy the franchise. how about it? then we can all get merch for better prices. cool!#or we can start a gofund me and raise millions so i can become an investor and tell them to lower prices from outside the club #maybe i should email the board. some shit like hey i was planning on having kids but i cant if the toys cost as much as the hospital bill #can you lower the prices so i can buy my future kids toys so i can indoctrinate them like my dad indoctrinated me to become a lifelong fan #sincerely. two generations of TF fans (your franchise isnt that old yet and i hope my kids can afford to be the third gen)

#Palestine #free palestine #they’re banking on people not giving a shit because the accessibility to cheap fast food and an insanely popular anime character is too #enticing to these people #who place fiction over reality and real world devastation #jjk #rambling #noury is also getting eye surgery soon I hope it works out well for them #it is so easy for these huge companies to pull these people in because most of them don’t care anyway because they’re Zionist to their #rotten cores and these companies know that people are treating the genocide like it’s a ‘we have to look at both-‘#sides-‘ kinda situation like it’s so…#they also know that a lot of people are stupid and would rather remain ignorant than learn about the history of Palestinians and what #Israel did to them #Gojo is my fav but come on now this is so slimy because they know that he’s insanely popular like they know that ppl will buy tf out of #his happy meal similar to the Mulan Rick and morty sauce shit years ago this makes my head hurt

me the absolute first split second people are acting up in the shop

#yes unfortunately we have to have a blacklist at this point of people not allowed to order anymore #this was actually *more* of an issue back in the day when i was selling handmade crocheted plushies lol #but like explain to me why this has happened with more than one person at this point:#they buy something #then a week or two later they email us/post/leave a review saying how much they hate it and we suck and that they want to return it #then they never send the thing back #continue to go on about how mad they are about it #still never send it back #then they TRY TO BUY ANOTHER THING????#what is that about #was it just wanting the first thing for free? like trying to bully us into letting you keep it for free??? i don't get it #if you hate it so much why would you order again ????????#anyway #do this and your order will 100% be canceled #pls never return #thankfully this only applies to like 3 people currently haha #vs the dozen person long etsy blacklist i had for plushies #lots of people wanted them for free or at least i suspect that was what was going on.... it was the wild west out there #exhausting

i was gonna hold off on postin this cause i havent finished the game but i just know if i wait too long its simply never gonna get posted so im doin it right NOW

i was scared of lookin up too many references cause im tryna avoid spoilers for this one so if youre like "that barely looks like her" im sorry ill do better after im done with the game 🤞🤞

#my art #digital art #doodle #digital painting #fanart #signalis #elster #lstr 512 #i drew this cause one of my friends really likes signalis and they were sad and i wanted to cheer them up #i really like the game it stresses me out sometimes but i really like it i love women and i love robots and i love existential horror #i wanted to do something with signalis for my final in philosophy but. i havent finished the game and i dont have time to finish the game #AND do my final so im just gonna have to draw random robot gore and make it philosophically meaninful #which is easy cause mechanical gore is already philosophically meaninful to me even completely unrelated to any of the topics we went over #im in the depressive gore obsession part of my personality cycle #anyways thats the post i gotta go to the store and buy a metal bakin pan so i can make tres leches cause my mom threw out the aluminum pan
