One of the defining moments of animation history.

“Ain’t I a stinker?”

In Babylon 5, didn’t one of the non-humans think Daffy was the god of frustration?

Holy shit, this is nearly 70 years old. This would have been right on the heels of color television being commercially available to the public.

bigahhhhhhhh

@amayatepes look at this

Huh. That’s just a whole ass Daffy Duck cartoon.

Everything about this cartoon is top-notch. The timing, the animation (watch Daffy’s different walks) the art; this is a treasure

i have Princess Dela Cruz thoughts that i want to share.

did you know? doctors who were educated and trained in foreign countries cannot immediately practice medicine when they immigrate to the states. to practice medicine, they will need to take a licensing exam, get certified, enroll in a residency program, then take another licensing exam. and because these doctors often enter the states via a work visa, they need to work to stay. that means a lot of them will work as medical assistants and/or registered nurses as they work towards getting approved to work as doctors.

now, how does this relate to Princess? as i've mentioned in another post, she likely immigrated as a teenager. but what if she moved to the states later? as an adult who wanted a "better" future for herself and her family. imagine a Princess Dela Cruz who was a doctor in the philippines who then had to adjust to being a nurse in a new country simply because the dollar is stronger than the peso.

none of this is canon, by the way, but it's been on my mind the last few weeks.

I really hate the narrative I see around the conflict between Santos and Langdon. It’s always Santos needs to get over it. Santos needs to stop holding a grudge against Langdon.

It’s so frustrating that it’s always framed as her having to be the one to do the work and change when it was Langdon who committed a crime and tried to derail her career to cover it up.

But he apologized! Did he though? Did he own up to being in Robby’s ear her whole first day trying to get him to fire her because she was onto him? Did he apologize for actively gaslighting her and downplaying her knowledge and skills? Or did he just say sorry for being mean and think that would be good enough? Especially when that apology came after taunting her while working with a patient together. ‘I’d be happy to teach Dr. Santos’ sounded a lot like a veiled threat of retaliation to me.

So maybe we should be putting it on Langdon to put in the work to earn her trust and respect rather than saying a young woman who reported her male superior for misconduct should just shut up and smile already.

this fanon image of abby langdon as a vaguely spoiled and entitled rich woman fascinates me, because while it correlates to what we see on the show, it's a pretty loose correlation. Everything we learn about Abby Langdon is through the medium of other people, specifically Langdon himself. To believe that the image he presents of Abby is accurate - someone who wants a Birkin, for example - you'd have to trust that he (1) understands his wife and (2) is a reliable narrator. Langdon is neither of these things.

Langdon's conversations with Dana imply that he does not have a very good sense of what Abby actually cares about. We know that Langdon believes Abby would want a Birkin, but Langdon also believed that she would be fine with a puppy and that his four year old son would take care of it. Every time Langdon comments on his wife, Dana corrects him. Dana isn't necessarily a reliable narrator either, but that's where I point to the context clues. Is the show affirming Langdon or Dana in the goldendoodle and vacation scenarios? What does this say about the accuracy of their respective views of Abby? How does this relate to Langdon's larger character arc in season 1?

Another way of asking this question: are these Abby's flaws, or Langdon's? The answer could easily be both. Season 2 pretty heavily implied that Langdon's marriage is less than great. We know very little about Abby, and many options are possible. But what we do know is:

she reasonably doesn't want a goldendoodle

Langdon believes she would want a Birkin, but Dana calls this into question

She stays with Langdon after the events of season 1

These offer many possible readings: a woman grudgingly doing "the right thing," a stressed mom who is desperately wondering why her husband has changed so much ever since they moved, and, admittedly, someone vaguely rich and spoiled. the show leaves it wide open for interpretation, but regardless imo any finger pointed at Abby really also points at Langdon in the end

As a sister to an addict I want to point out something else about the Birkin. My brother was a functioning addict for a long time before the pot boiled over. The way he masked this was by presenting to the world that everything was perfect. It was absolutely a learned behavior from our father (who is a POS but that's another story) but this still stands. He worked out. He always had a new truck. He wore designer clothes. He kept his wife and kids in designer clothing. A beautiful, tastefully decorated home. Expensive gifts... Do you see where I'm going with this? He thought what the world perceived would be The Truth. That no one would see his addiction if everything looked perfect.

What says that more than a fucking Birkin Bag?

#the pitt #abby langdon #frank langdon #keeping up that good guy image is sadly part of the addict's handbook #it's the easiest way for them to mask their addiction #langdon also strikes me as someone who doesn't value housework as real work #which is a character flaw that a lot of people have #i don't think it makes him evil #but it gives us a good insight into his marriage

I’m perpetually puzzled by how much and yet how little we know about McKay. She’s nearly ten years sober, but Harrison is almost 12. So she didn’t get sober until he was two years old, which begs the question, did she start after he was born? Did she use during her pregnancy? Her response to the case where the child of an addict talks about her mother became sober when she was pregnant with her tells me she was likely sober then.

Fiona says that Cassie struggled from her mid to late twenties and she sobered up in her thirties. As of season 1 she was 42. With Harrison at 11 years old that makes her 31 or so when he was born. My thought is that she used in her twenties, sobered up at 30. Had Harrison, then relapsed at some point, finally totally sobering up at 33.

She also alludes to having been the target of someone with misogynistic tendencies. This of course could have been at any point in her life, but she says something interesting to Ogilvie in season 2 about why people turn to addiction. She specifically sites an escape from abuse. This piqued my interest.

Her ex Chad, does not come off as particularly abusive, I feel like she’d be much more wary about allowing him to play such a large role in Harrison’s life if that were the case. However it isn’t unheard of for a mother to concede that the abuse was entirely directed at her and have no fear for her children. It’s also possible he was abusive in some way and changed after they split but given that it’s likely she initially started using before they got together I find it unlikely.

She has a great relationship with her dad so it’s not likely him. My theory is this may be related to whatever misogynist in her life she spoke about in season 1. Maybe an ex before Chad that popped back up sometime after they were married, or was otherwise some kind of trigger for her.

Ugh I’m just dying to know more.

my mum (2 phds, has led the national committee for her area of science in our country for 10+ years and has worked in that very male dominated area for 30+ years) was utterly shocked when I told her people online don't like robby because they see him as a misogynist.

like genuinely she was shocked. she said that if they were actually looking for a male character in the show that women working in stem would be unhappy to be colleagues with, then it would 100% be langdon.

she said its clear to her that if these were real people, she'd far prefer to work alongside robby because she can see he makes an actual effort to defend women and takes into account when people pull him up on things (such as david in s1). she said that he's realistic in that he doesn't always notice his bias but that she'd be happy to work with someone that actually tried, as opposed to langdon, who she described as being like "the nightmare of me and my female colleagues' workplace experiences".

she said she wouldn't be able to stand working with him on account of the way he talks about his wife like she works less hard than him, and the way he doesn't think about her in his decision making for massive household choices (she proceeded to say abby should've actually divorced him), as well as the way she said he's the kind of guy who won't take onboard criticism if he was pulled up on something misogynistic.

then I asked her how she felt about robby and al hashimi, and she just said that in her eyes, it's clear he's professionally respects her, even though he's reluctant to do so. her choice of wording was that his reluctance is due to his "possessiveness" over his department since he can't be in control of much more, and that he wasn't ever harsh with al hashimi due to her gender. (she wants them to be good friends in season three because she says they will be a "very competent" team, and they remind her of what became some of her best workplace friendships).

anyway lol this is just my mums pitt analysis, and I just thought it was interesting that an actual woman in a very male dominated stem area had such different views on who is actually safer for their female coworkers than pitt twt or tumblr seems to..

This guy raised an abandoned moose calf with his Horses, and believe it or not, he has trained it for lumber removal and other hauling tasks. Given the 2,000 pounds of robust muscle, and the splayed, grippy hooves, he claims it is the best work animal he has. He says the secret to keeping the moose around is a sweet salt lick, although, during the rut he disappears for a couple of weeks, but always comes home…. Impressive !! MINNESOTA CLYDESDALE

durendoll

why are moose so terrifyingly large

totallynotagentphilcoulson

Because they’re pretty much legit surviving Ice Age megafauna and almost everything was bigger back then

henstomper

his moose leaves for a few weeks to Fuck

lyricwritesprose

And comes back because he figures he has a pretty sweet deal. Oats, salt, probably some treats and scratches, for the price of some basic pulling and advanced not murdering fools?

Sometimes I think people give themselves too much credit for animal domestication. Sometimes the main character of the domestication story is some terrifying beast who reasons, “But salt though.”
