Summer does something to the brain. It’s intoxicating. Everything shimmers.

Una bañista señala un letrero para explicarle a un guardavidas porque está semidesnuda en la playa Spring Lake, New Jersey. El guardavidas se ve bastante confundido. El rótulo originalmente estuvo dirigido a los bañistas hombres. Foto de 1939.

La traducción del letrero es: Usted puede bañarse ahora sin la parte de arriba.

My human lizard of a brother who loves heat: This is my ideal temperature.

Me, sweating, overstimulated and generally inoperable in the heat: I know you aren't bragging but it doesn't make me want to stab you any less

au where everything is the same except mabel and dipper have been going to gravity falls every year before the show takes place since like kindergarten.

its a pretty simple premise that derives mostly from my desire to explore interpersonal relationships and the ways a place and people can change from a young child’s point of view. it doesn’t change canon that much either, admittedly, i just wanted to draw childhood friends stuff LOL. ill call it uhhhhhhhh every summer au.

‘My friends easily guess what I’m writing about because I become obsessed’ - novelist and short story writer Sara Hosey

Sara Hosey says her stories arise from obsessions. So far these have been ADHD, The Twilight Zone, feminism and places that are gritty and unexpectedly beautiful. She once stayed for months at a cottage on an island in the middle of a lake, reachable only by boat, with an intrepid cat for company. I began by asking why.   I love to be alone. While I am happily ensconced in a family at this…

just in case anyone missed this in the news or maybe not in the loop, Disney is currently refusing to meet with or acknowledge the newly formed animation production workers union that just voted to join IASTE and become an official part of TAG, the animators and animation artists guild

production workers across all studios are currently voting to be recognized for their hard work and invaluable skill at keeping these productions running, but studios are refusing to meet with them to let them negotiate deals or even exist

as someone who works in animation as a designer i know i wouldn't be able to do my job at all without any of my production workers. they are the incredibly hard working people who oversee pretty much everything in animation. they make sure everything is running on time, that schedules are being followed, they have to know pretty much every single word of the scripts and beats from the storyboards to make sure nothing is missed, and most importantly, they make sure artists are being taken care of and not overworked. they really are the unsung heroes of the animation world

production workers are also by far the most exploited workers in animation currently. they make about a fraction of what artists make for just as much work put in, and currently have no agreement for health coverage or other benefits that artists protected by the union are guaranteed

BUT! there is some good news. right now there's a petition on IATSE's website that has over 80,000 signatures currently addressed to disney leadership to do the right thing and meet with this new union and recognized their vote to form. it still needs roughly 21,000 signatures and only takes a minute to sign! anyone with a zip or postal code can sign, meaning both US and Canadian residents can sign and help this union get the deal it deserves!!

happy summer to dykes in tank tops and basketball shorts, goths who's makeup is melting, little kids catching frogs and fireflies, guys who just bring their guitar everywhere now, 13 yr olds very obviously in their emo phase during a family vacation, gas station employees, old people sitting on porches, and dogs swimming at the beach
