Fuck Everything About This

You know how in a bad movie, a scene will keep going *on and on* after it ends, just to pad out the runtime?

After all, live action costs minimal effort and time to keep recording.

For traditional animation, though?

Never before had I seen several seconds of animated empty silence.

Carl the Animator: “…how many more frames of this do we need to do?”

Ted the Animator: “Hey, when Hanna-Barbera wants padding, they’re not foolin’ around. Keep those background adjustments coming.”

Everyone you meet always asks if you have a career, are married or own a house; as if life was some kind of grocery list. But nobody ever asks if you are happy.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote: “When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.”

Broke: You’re too young to know what your sexuality is when you’re a teenager.

Woke: You are old enough to know what your sexuality is when you’re a teenager.

Bespoke: Everyone develops at different rates and while some people know what their sexuality is from a young age, other people need to take more time to figure it all out. Both of these are 100% valid and okay.

This Lovecraftian monstrosity may look like an amalgam of dying octopuses, but it’s actually a single creature called a Basket Star, a type of deep sea brittle star. They can reach up to 11 pounds in weight and 70 cm in length!
