setup and punchline
The artist is luo li rong
The statue doesn’t have big enough titties to have been made by a man.
I know I’ve reblogged this before but the schadenfreude is too delicious.
By the way, the statue is called La mélodie oubliée (The Forgotten Melody). Luo Li Rong also painted it:
And here she and the statue are in a more formal setting (museum or art show, I can’t tell):
“Dork ass losers”
OK not only do I think she’s a sorceress but now I have a massive crush on her
people understand that Spanish speakers speak different dialects of the Spanish language but don’t understand that black people speak a dialect of the English language
saw a variation of this conversation on twitter earlier
I just want to state for the record that this is completely uncontroversial among linguists. It’s the first day of sociolinguistics class.
The reason that AAVE is uncontroversial for linguists (academia) but controversial/debated/dismissed amongst… basically everyone else (general public) is partially because academics write papers/publish research in a way that is inaccessible to the general public, which means that academics aren’t taken seriously or are dismissed because it’s too difficult to understand.
As mentioned in the thread, there are grammar and pronunciation differences in AAVE that deviate from standard English. Academics separate dialects and accents as such: “[A] dialect implies lexical, grammatical and/or pronunciation differences, [whereas an] accent is restricted to pronunciation features alone.”
The general public is unaware of this crucial difference, and think AAVE is just a pronunciation/accent. On the flip side, they will readily accept other dialects, also confusing it as a simple accent difference. For example: the “y’all” contraction. “Y’all” isn’t an accepted contraction in the overwhelming majority of other English-speaking countries, and is used primarily in the Southern United States. I even get the red squiggly line in my word doc when I type it! The (one of many) Southern US dialects also deviate from standard English, just like AAVE. Because that’s literally the definition of a dialect.
I don’t know enough about the racial/historical aspect of this to talk about it, but racism is certainly involved. My oversimplified (and uneducated) best guess: dismissal and unwillingness to learn because AAVE is used primarily/exclusively (?) by black people.
TL;DR: AAVE not taken seriously by non-academics/non-linguists bc they don’t know the difference between accents and dialects, and are likely dismissive and unwilling to understand AAVE as a unique dialect because it is used by black people.
you basically hit the nail on the head pal.

Contrary to Popular Belief Africa is Not a Monolith
“You don’t look African”
Considering Africa is a continent with 54 different countries and over 3000 different ethnic groups, it really shouldn’t surprise people that there is no one set look for an African.
Afar people:
San people:
Amazigh people:
Oromo people:
Hausa people:
Masai people:
Edo people:
Wodaabe people:
These are just 8 of the over 3000 ethnic groups in Africa, and you can already see how beautiful and varied the people of Africa are.
THERE IS NO ONE AFRICAN “LOOK”.
3000 different ethnicities. Let that sink in
As someone who has dealt with depression for years, I can confirm this is incredibly good advice.
just so you know, daniel harmon is an autistic writer, producer, and voice actor. it’s incredibly important that we don’t erase autistic creators; all of this is also important, but erasure is a huge problem and it’s so so vital for autistic kids to see (mentally ill and multifaceted) autistic adult creators and know that’s what they can grow up to be.
This is truly great advice
I loved Essence Magazine’s covers in the 90’s. Great hair and make up inspo.
The other day my mom said something that i found really insulting to the 2d animation movies, she said that they stopped doing those because they were no longer appealing to the audience and that they were supposed to be discontinued, and i just thought how bullshit of an argument that is.
Comparing 2d animation with 3d and saying one is superior is like saying that digital art is better than traditional art, better than the fucking Mona Lisa, The creation of Adam, in fact, is a pretty ignorant comparation to do because one does not suprass the other, but new techniques are getting invented and we invest in those more.
Is just another way of animation, in fact, the shitty move all those studios did by closing their 2d animation studios eas pointless and it´s gonna cost them greatly, because someday people are gonna want to go back to the 2d animation and studios like Disney or Dreamworks will be too scared to do that, that will be the day that other studios will take upon them and give us what we want.
2D animation has the most beautiful animation i´ve ever seen, there´s something in it that i can´t explain that makes a big difference from watching cgi, and what i think would make a great combination is the great amount of details that you see in CGI and 3D movies into 2D techniques so you could expect to see shit like this
Atlantis (2001)
Treasure Planet (2002)
Sinbad (2003)
5 centimeters per second (2007)
The princess and the frog (2009)
Children who lost their Voices (2011)
Beyond the boundary (2015)
Your name (2016)
So whoever dares to say 2d animation is dead is wrong and also a bitch
