Boosting this again and also wanna call out "Angel Shots". These are "drinks" that someone will order at a bar that signifies they need help. Picture below to show the Angel Shots. Not all bartenders know so be aware and help if needed!

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

Calling AI an art tool is like bringing a microwave and frozen dinners to a cooking competition and excusing it as "just a tool".
Nah, that's you.

Not that human characters can't be fun! But with the literally *limitless* potential of animation, when all a studio is coming up with is more humans, and the animals are just there for merchandising and barely play a role as characters..it's super weird to me.

I still feel that way to a degree. If the main cast is entirely human, the move as a whole had better be very compelling or have music I vibe with. I haven't watched anything new by Disney since The Princess and the Frog.

If you can't help someone, wish them well and move on. This poor soul lost her cat because people wouldn't stop reporting her accounts. She is a real person, her cat was real. Now she's gone.
The universe sees how you treat those in need.

Aseel has tried so hard to give little Liza the best life she could, but her sweet baby is gone.

She and her family are doing their best to survive and to care for animals who have no one else to take them in.

Please help them, if you can:

@support.bsky.team Is the pain in these photos not real enough for you? Why was her account deleted?

Some people are so heartless. It's infuriating. I saw the video and the account is already gone. The pain in that post is undeniably real. I only hope some of those assholes saw it and feel awful.

I had a friend growing up who always expressed frustration that they "can't draw". I assured them anyone can if they practice.
We reconnected a few years after high school, I learned they had galleries on several sites and had gotten the hang of drawing to an impressive degree. Anyone can learn!

About time. All these scientists that have been collecting money for outdated experiments while people and pets die make me sick.

You're telling me scientists realized that pollution is bad for you, and didn't abuse more animals to reach that conclusion?
If only all scientists had this level of common sense.

The only "gold standard" is emptying the cages.

I hear you. Next time I'm in my hometown I want to take some photos, even though it's changed a lot already. There's so much we take for granted before we lose it. I strive to look at the beauty around me every day.

Snakes are rare to see outdoors here, yet I'm still constantly investigating sticks and other objects just in case xD
