You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Also S-Tier for "Look at his Shadow".

Whether that was coincidence or planned from the start, it's beautiful. It's like poetry. Just feels right.

Yes, because you are an artist, and sometimes that self expression means badass renders, and sometimes it means recreating one of the best sitcoms ever made using Sonic characters to create a peanut butter and chocolate situation where both fans love the end result.

You. Have. A. Gift.

I love when animators add those details because it makes it so rewarding on the rewatch.

It's like how in Back to the Future, you start to notice that there's a pile of Whopper wrappers in the opening next to the cot, and that Doc lives next to a Burger King, and Marty's brother works at Burger-

My rent is paid, so October starts now for my finances.

Of course, disability pretty much runs out immediately once rent is paid, so I'm going into the month on the ropes.

Plus, it's my birthday month. (The 8th!)

So here's the fundraising.

I’ve been working for 15 years as an animator and I can tell you without a doubt, the best fix I ever found for imposter syndrome is living a full life where your days and worth don’t hinge on whether or not you were a good animator today.

I know I have a few journalists following me...I hope some of you will stay on this. There are many organizations sitting on millions of dollars that people from around the world donated for the people of Gaza. This money needs to get to the people it was meant for so they don't have to beg anymore

It's not just UNRWA, every organization has received a record amount of donations they haven't been able to give to Palestinians in Gaza

If your instinct is to reply with something like "that would only create chaos" shut down the internet and read Freire's Pedagogy Of The Oppressed instead

The man or woman who proclaims devotion to the cause of liberation yet is unable to enter into communion with the people, whom he or she continues to regard as totally ignorant, is grievously self-deceived.
The convert who approaches the people but feels alarm at each step they take, each doubt they express, and each suggestion they offer, and attempts to impose his
"status," remains nostalgic towards his origins.
Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

I need ppl to understand that no matter how well meaning someone running as a democrat is, when they are absorbed and become somewhat dependent on the party, they will make concessions and use language they provide etc

It’s like how capitalists, no matter how well meaning, need to increase profit
