His videos are so on the nose of gay culture and hilariously thought out. Please treat yourself to his content you won’t be sorry.
A Simple Favor (2018) dir. Paul Feig
Roses are red
Storm clouds are grey
Poetry is great.
lemme try…
Roses are red,
Some tulips are black,
The roses have bloomed,
The ground is muddy,

I have never seen a single episode of ATLA, but I can fill in all of these blanks.
I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money.
“A scam” people are fucking wild.
This happened to me, too. A woman had used WIC for the majority of her stuff (which I say from personal experience is such a long and embarrassing process) and to buy the remainder of her groceries, which included diapers and wipes, she used a card, and it got declined. I bought the other $30 of her groceries because hey, I’ve been there, and now I’m not. She was extremely emotional and began to cry and even hugged me. My mom called me on the drive home and could tell I had been crying myself, asked what was wrong, and when I told her what happened, she berated me for being “duped.” I couldn’t believe she could be so disappointed in one of her children for doing something- nice? Is that the hill you want to die on? Getting mad about people needing groceries?
I once paid for a woman’s bill at the vet…it wasn’t a big one, but she was trying to pay for some medication for her dog, and her card was declined. And her lip started trembling, and she says “I don’t get paid until Tuesday, would he be ok until then?”
So I just told them to add the $20 something onto my bill, and I thought she was going to break down crying right there.
And I don’t care if it was a scam or not. Just do nice things for people sometimes.
Do good recklessly.
I think “Do good recklessly” would be fantastic word art to hang on one’s wall. Artistic people, go!
So this has happened to me but from the other side. Several years ago when my oldest was around three or so, I had my debit card decline at Walmart. It wasn’t a scam or a mistake, I was genuinely broke. Out of money. I checked my bank and discovered I had something like 7 dollars left to my name and a hungry kid and nothing to eat at home. So I sat there trying to come up with the best way to stretch that tiny amount of money to feed my kid. Not even to feed me. I can live on popcorn or something if I have to but my kid was three and he had to eat. So there I am trying really hard not to cry while I slowly take things out of my basket to get it down to under 7 bucks, when a lady tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up and she smiled at me and started putting the things back in my cart. I opened my mouth to tell her that I didn’t have the money for them but she stopped me right away and said “Don’t worry about it. It’s gonna be fine.” Then she handed the cashier her credit card and said “Ring up all of it.” My kid got to eat because of her. I got to eat because of her. I had laundry soap and deodorant because of her. She could’ve just ignored me silently struggling in that line. She could’ve decided I was a scam and gone home feeling good about avoiding being duped. But instead she chose to help me and she saved us. So maybe the person struggling in front of you is trying to put one over on you or maybe they are just sad and broke and trying to figure out what to do. You get to decide which you want to believe and what you want to do. But I’ll tell y’all, no one has ever been more beautiful to me than that lady in that line who saved me and my baby. Be like her. Be beautiful.
Do good recklessly
DO BETTER. BE BETTER. STRIVE TO BE BETTER.
DO GOOD RECKLESSLY
One time, my dad and I were living the grocery store and there was a guy outside asking for money to buy some stuff to take home for his kids. It was around Christmas time. My dad asked him if he could give him groceries instead of money, and the guy immediately said yes, so my dad gave him one of everything we bought (meat, rice, some chocolates, milk, oil). At that time, my dad hadn’t gotten his paycheck because the company he worked for was going through a tough time, but he didn’t care, he saw an opportunity to help someone and he did.
Another time, my dad gave 50 bucks to a guy who said he needed to buy medicine for his kids. I told my dad he was probably going to spend the money on alcohol or something, but my dad said that “whether he was lying or not says something about HIS character, but hearing someone in need and choosing not to help when I have the means to says something about mine”.
I never forget that.
“whether he was lying or not says something about HIS character, but hearing someone in need and choosing not to help when I have the means to says something about mine”
louder, for the people in the back
So my high school’s drama club did The Bad Seed, a play about a child who brutally murders people. Later, the girl who played the part of the murderer was cast as a gay character and she refused to play the part because it “went against her morals”
People calling themselves hetero when they can’t even keep their morals straight
The coach is showing those ladies how to walk in qipao
The leg to the side…. ICONIC
I just love how nobody talks about this movie and this epic scene.
I really do wonder what was that meeting like when discussing on having this scene added to this movie
How to CGI greatness probably
I remember seeing this in theaters and all of us were laughing well into the next scene
That character is voiced by Robin Williams in a movie that also has Ewan McGregor and Mel Brooks.
Robots was a pretty good Blue Sky movie and why did people sleep on this?
It was ahead of its time, I fear. (aka, because adults realized it was about how capitalism is toxic and kills innovation, they stopped promoting it.)
WAIT WHAT NOW I GOTTA SEE IT
Chowed down on three plates of #vegan tacos today at @myrtletreecafebar and I have absolutely no regrets. 🌮🌮🌮😋 I can always appreciate a good vegan meal.👌The best part was when the waitress went to confirm with the kitchen if there’d be enough to make the servings and I overheard her say, “Times are changing!” to the chef. 😆 Photo by @annie.chn 📷 #sundayfunday #sundaybrunch #veganfood #cauliflowertacos #myrtletreecafe (at Myrtle Tree Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrwpFdYhazP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19bb6hgkoors3

And so it begins! 🏁🏃🏻♂️So little time, so much to do...Day 1 back in Cali was spent catching up with @annie.chn and @canoewu (whom I haven’t seen since sophomore year of college?!) today over a Sunday brunch, a quick little photo op, and a quick trip to CVS at the very end lol. 🍳🌮 #brunch #monrovia #oldtown #oldfriends #friendshiptour2018 (at Monrovia Library Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrwXT6jhrBa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16knvnt2hb5uo

where is the lie
Sony Animation went from this
to this
Just after a year
Technically not in a year development for movies takes more like 5 years. Development for Into the spider-verse started around 2014. While The Emoji Movie was in development around the same time. They were technically developed together but what a lot of people tend to lack remembering is that they are different teams.
The movies may belong to the studio but there are tons of people working there. All that Sony from the top really does is approve which projects they are going to fund.
We’re judging a whole animation and distribution center on something not everyone works on. It’s not improvement it’s just two entirely different teams working on different stories.
I think the lack of understanding how the industry actually works hurts a lot of animators in the end because then a project isn’t associated with a team, but a company. And I think it should be something that’s highlighted when talking about animation.
Not to mention, most of the time, these studios are commissioned to do their films by outside studios, and by various people who pitch the original ideas. The Spider-Verse film was created by a team at Sony under the patronage of Marvel, for instance.
Please don’t make the mistake of assuming a studio is one singular entity that makes a single kind of thing – studios employ a LOT of people, and in order to afford to pay these people and secure a profit, they must also be working on several concurrent projects, often of vastly different styles.
