WHAT IZZIT

[elodieunderglass]

So Mackenzie Crook, best known in the US as "the wooden-eye pirate in Pirates of the Caribbean" but best known in the UK as "skeletal man who makes strange slow-motion awkward comedy," went to the BBC and said "I want. to dress up as a fukin turnip. For climate change" and the BBC was like "hey okay! That's a Vibe! But what's the concept" and Mackenzie Crook said "Mackenzie Crook does a melancholy reboot of Worzel Gummidge, about climate change."

Now Worzel Gummidge is an absolutely horrific British property last portrayed by Jon Pertwee, in your nightmares. Nobody wanted it. Nobody was asking for a reboot of this. Absolutely nobody. In fact British people of a certain age would pay good money to have their memories of Worzel Gummidge summarily carved out of their heads.

But the BBC said "ok we can see it. Doctor Who is a black woman, we've captured fresh Teletubby cubs, we rebooted the Clangers. Sky is doing the Moomins... The time for this is now"

Mackenzie was like "I will write and direct this, and will jump into enough prosthetics to be a convincing turnip-headed scarecrow."

As the BBC had no difficulty in picturing this without any prosthetics at all, their only remaining question was "what were you thinking for the music?"

"Creepy weird folk."

"Sir, that is a mood," they said, "take your money,"

And Mackenzie took the resulting £200 BBC budget (he paid for the prosthetics himself - let's be honest, he already had them) and did This

He potentially was going to do it anyway so at least it was under controlled conditions

[rickfuckingdalton]

A lot of westerns are remakes of samurai movies

[bonesawcagematch]

those samurai movies were very often heavily inspired by 50′s and 40′s westerns

[simon-newman]

Cowboys and samurai are brothers separated by time and space.

[eric-coldfire]

Best duo.

[injuries-in-dust]

The classic cowboy age was 1865 - 1880

The samurai age was 1185-1868

Meaning it’s entirely historically accurate for a story where a cowboy and a samurai are together if the story takes place between 1865-1868.

Even more if you want the cowboy teamed up with a former samurai who came to america after the end of the samurai age in Japan.

Human vs Animals

[weaselle]

Every year, in a small Welsh town, there is a race between riders on horseback and runners on foot. Evidently he above subject came under some discussion in a bar, and a bet was made, which resulted in a challenge people have recreated every year since. The race features dozens of horses versus a similar number of runners, and while a horse usually wins, it is always pretty close, and SOMEtimes, sometimes a human runner wins.

The race is 22 miles long. It is shorter than a standard human marathon. This is so that it is fair to the horses. A typical marathon is 26 miles long. A healthy distance for a horse to undertake in a single day for the purpose of travel is between 20 and 30 miles, but only if they walk at least part of the way. The years a human runner has won the race, the weather has been hot, as heat also favors human runners.

Interestingly, if the race is only ten to fifteen meters, 30 - 45 feet, a human can also win against a horse, which takes longer than a human to get up to full speed.

This fact of human capability for pursuit hunting and distance running is also part of why we have partnered with dogs for so much of our time on this planet. Dogs and wolves also engage in pursuit hunting, and sled dogs in particular can run miraculous distances due to some very interesting biological processes.

THE SHADE

[sartorialadventure]

[fullymechanized-consoomer]

At the annual Houston RenFest we’d always get one or two furries that walk around and every time the general reaction from the medieval roleplayers is akin to  “BEASTS? BEASTS THAT WALK LIKE MAN? FOUL!” 

Last time I went a furry volunteered for an impromptu conversion/exorcism and a guy dressed as a monk gathered a bunch of people and using a Gatorade bottle performed an entire catholic christening while reading off the instructions on his Ipad. When the furry was fully “converted” he removed the head of his costume and everyone in the crowd pretended to freak out and say shit like “GlORY BE HE IS SAVED” “CHRIST HAS BROKEN HIS CURSE”

As someone who ran into the glue at 23rd st while trying to commute home during the protest I can tell you that:

1) there was a sign encouraging you not to swipe or get glue on your card and that

2) the emergency exit door was open so you could either walk onto the platform or hop the turnstile to still access the train

The protesters left you with a choice: become a fare evader (supporting the protest) or leave. But they didn't stop access to the subway as a utility.

I see a lot of outrage in the comments about inconveniencing people on their commute home but consider whose commute under "normal" circumstances -- under police surveillance -- are inconvenienced by police.

Are you upset because you're not someone who usually has to think about if you'll be singled out for doing the same thing as everyone else?

Did the protests make you experience the thing that, oh, they were protesting against?

Hey, then they worked.

And if you don't like it, well, the next subway stop is 5 blocks away. How convenient for you that this impediment was a one day, one stop friction in your life and not a constant threat.

And before anyone complains about how the protest impacted disability accessibility, 23rd st doesn't have an elevator or other accessibility options. Let's start with critiquing the institutional access first, shall we?

my life with ADHD

[mardu-mama]

This is very true and a great post.

But low key makes me think about how people with adhd have been raised their whole lives to value a day based on what they accomplished vs what they experienced

[thatgirlwithadhd]

I think your point is excellent. But also consider:

That list might say things like “Paint a picture. Go birdwatching. Finish that great novel I started reading. Call my grandma. Learn to bake a cake. Visit my sister. Play piano.”

For me at least, the good/fun things are harder without meds too. I can have the best intentions, but following through is hard.

[adhd-informative]

This addition is so important.
