awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

Me: "Damn people are REALLY BAD at knowing when to tag their eyestrain art/images...either that or they just don't care about photosenitive epileptic people like me. I feel really sad now." Person: "But Allison, what if they just don't know or understand what qualifies as eyestrain and what doesn't?" Me: "You know what? That could be a factor...While it is always better to be safe rather than sorry (so YES people should always tag eyestrain even if they're unsure if it "counts" or not) maybe you've got a point?"

Anyways! HERE'S YOUR HANDY GUIDE TO WHAT CAN COUNT AS EYESTRAIN! I'm pulling this straight from the Artfight rules page about what needs to be labeled and filtered as eyestrain because it's VERY helpful and VERY accurate! I also know not everybody has an AF account and might not always have access to this handy guide, and this is an important resource; That's why I'm sharing it here! (under the cut)

PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! THIS IS ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS!!!

Full eyestrain AF page link

"But Allison! How were you able to screenshot that example if you're so sensitive to eyestrain?"

I dimmed the HELL out of my computer screen and looked away while taking the screenshot and did the same when putting it into this post, that's how lol. BUT YEAH ANYWAYS!!! Once again:

PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! THIS IS ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS!!!

HI LET’S SHARE NICOLE’S WORDS ON THE SUBJECT! 

It has been literal years but every time I see Martin’s tweets posted somewhere and his word is shared as truth while her post is not shared it sort of reiterates the fact that we trust men to speak about feminism more than we believe women who experience it. 

Interesting, innit? https://medium.com/@nickyknacks/working-while-female-59a5de3ad266

Reading her account of how their boss treated her blows me away. Men are so emboldened that they will literally admit to illegal discrimination casually and face no consequences.

In all the years of seeing this post I’ve never seen a link to her side. Didn’t even know she’d written one.

[pluts04]

Adding screenshots of her post. His whole post is there without needing a link. Hers should be, too.

Also, she posted this is 2017! It’s fucking 2020 and I’ve seen his side of this for years, but it took 3 years for her side to make its way to my dash…

I’ve reblogged his story at least twice; it’s time for Nicole’s.

[satan-is-hugs]

It’s 2023 and i just now learned that Nicole’s response was also out there

this guy is what I imagined god looked like when I was 4 years old so yeah he can say it

[hypotenussy]

does this visual aid help you at all

^ what i pictured whenever mom talked to me about god as a kid

[frogosaurus]

no i get it because i imagined god to look exactly like the anthropomorphic grandfather clock from the preschool religious programming Miss Pattycake's Egg-Stravaganza

which is terrifying actually i wish mine was the Count

Ok first time watch thoughts:

I really liked it!

I do like the writing and characterization and that it doesn’t feel too childish or too adult, and the physical comedy is done well too. And Vogel’s Kermit wasn’t nearly as distracting as I expected I thought he did a fine job. They also didn’t focus too much on the human guests and let the muppets exist, and there was a good mix of modern music/new skits and older songs and skits more similar to the classic show. I think the show had some kinks but if it had a full season to breathe and develop and give focus to different characters it could really turn into something great!

I did not like the audience reactions/ laugh track. It was not giving live studio audience it was giving Disney channel sitcom it completely ruined a lot of moments I would’ve thought were funny by drawing way too much attention to the jokes (and this is coming from a sitcom fan who is usually fine with laugh tracks, this one was bad). It also made there be less differentiation between what was happening on stage as part of the show and what was the backstage “real” life of the muppets. Also the show is way too overproduced. I think the skits where it’s got one or two camera angles and a practical set feel so much more muppets than the overuse of different angles and cgi and effects covering the screen. The Jim Henson company is build on the innovation of practical effects don’t use cgi just bc it’s the easy way out please
