The Adventures of Prince Achmen. 1926. German. The oldest surviving animated film in history.

[owlyjules]

I am sorry BUT THIS IS NOT JUST “GERMAN” PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THE NAME OF THE ARTIST.

THIS WONDERFUL MOVIE WAS MADE BY LOTTE REINIGER! SHE WAS ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF ANIMATION!!!! SHE MADE OVER 40 FILMS IN HER CAREER USING A TECHNIQUE SHE INVENTED WITH HER HUSBAND! WALT DISNEY ENDED USING HER MULTI PLANE TECHNIQUE IN HIS OWN MOVIES! AND SHE FUCKING MADE THE FIRST FEATURE LENGTH ANIMATED MOVIE!! (she ended up fleeing Nazi germany eventually work in north america, both us and canada, on other movies.)

 This woman is one of the most important figures in animation HISTORY!

Have a little memoriam movie the animation school Goblin did in her honor.

These are all cut out stop motion animations made of paper which she cut by HAND and layered with glass.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but don’t be racist during the COVID-19 scare.

My mom’s friend was out shopping when a (very not asian) woman came up and started berating her for not wearing a mask. Asian businesses in my area are suffering. Some people are refusing to interact with anyone who looks Asian.

Asian-Americans have been through racism already. We’re fucking sick of it. We’re not flea-infested rats; we are actual people who most likely have never been to China.

And if you’re not Asian and see someone being racist and giving a poor schmuck a hard time for having squinty eyes and dark hair, tell them to knock it off and they’re being a butt.

NON ASIANS PLEASE REBLOG

Neighbor poisons dog, gets what's coming to him...

This is not my story but of a good friend of mine (let’s call him Mitch) whom I’ve known for many many years now. This happened 15 years ago when Mitch and I were both 16 yo.

Mitch has two younger brothers, at the time 14 and 15 yo. Mitch and his brothers had the most beautiful golden lab, always friendly, a bit lazy as labs can be, loved everybody, truly a great dog. The neighbor though hated the dog, something about its fur getting in his lawn when it shed (I live in a warm Mediterranean country so dogs tend to shed a lot here), something about it barking during siesta, in any case, the neighbor was being a bitch about it. Now, Mitch’s parents are of the quiet type, trying to accommodate, they even put a fence inside their own yard to keep the dog in the other side of the yard, facing the property of the other neighbor that had no issues with their dog, kept the dog inside during siestas, and Mitch and his brothers would brush the undercoat regularly during the summer months to limit any shedding.

Abled Person: Hey man, can you hold this wad of $2,000 and this one penny for me while I open my wallet?

Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!

The United States Government:

(Watch how many people don’t get this.)

[marauders4evr]

#raises hand #i dont understand #please explain? 

In order for disabled people to receive any sort of financial assistant for their housing, food, bills, medical supplies, etc., they cannot ever have more than $2,000 of resources to their name. Ever.

It doesn’t matter what it’s for.

You’re saving up for a new wheelchair?

For college?

To put a downpayment on a house?

Hell man, you just happen to budget for once in your life so that you can have some extra money in case something bad happens?

Your benefits immediately get cut off if you’re a cent over $2,000.

And, even worse, you usually end up having to pay back every dollar the government gave you that month.

So say you get $400. If they find out you’re twenty dollars over the resource limit, you have to give them all $400 back and you undergo an investigation of your funds to see if you will continue getting money.

“What if I spend the money that day?”

Doesn’t matter. In fact, from what I can tell, people who do this are actually put under investigation for fraud.

And yes, this system literally kills people.

[locuas642]

Remember when “Guardians of the Galaxy” came out? one of Rocket Racoon’s creators, Bill Mantlo, suffered an accident in 1992 and has irreparable brain damage.

before the movie came out, Marvel gave him an exclusive preview screening. SOme people were upset because they felt if Marvel was really wanted to thank mantlo, they should have donated money to Mantlo’s family.

Bill Mantlo’s brother had to come out and explain: If Marvel gave them monetary aid, Bill Mantlo would lose his financial assistance.

I have friends on welfare who won’t pick up a penny in the street because they’d risk the welfare they struggled to get for 10 years.

[raenboow]

oh look another fucked up thing in this world. let’s just add it to the list. number 63858b

[luvtonique]

My brother has been on California State SSI for autism for the last 10 years, and he absolutely has to (no joke, HAS TO) spend all 720 bucks of his SSI every month, because if he puts it in the bank he risks losing his SSI altogether.

Sometimes, at the end of the month, he has no idea what to do with his money because the whole month went by and he still has 400-ish bucks in his account, and he fucking panics because he doesn’t want to get anywhere near 2,000.

And here’s the funnest part of the story!

One day he did a huge commission on Second Life and wound up earning 1500 bucks off of it, and he told the guy to donate it 500 bucks at a time over 3 months. The guy didn’t want to, and just donated all 1500, which put my brother at 2,036 bucks.

The state IMMEDIATELY (I’m talking less than an hour) called him up to tell him over the phone that they were canceling his SSI, because they noticed he had gone over the 2,000 buck threshold. He had to tell them that someone had made a charitable donation to him and that this was not a common occurrence in any way shape or form, and upon not believing him, my mother had to call to talk to them as his legal caretaker and say basically the same thing until they called off the cancellation of his SSI money.

He also had to cancel his renter’s assistance because it put him to 1,062 a month, so if he went 30 days without spending any money they’d cancel his SSI altogether. Like, none of us in the family have any fucking clue why that regulation is in place and it’s the stupidest shit in human history.

Please, legal side of Tumblr, tell me what positive reasoning this law has?

[sodomymcscurvylegs]

Happy 4th of July everyone! This is what the “nation of opportunity” looks like.

[xfirecorex]

There’s something called an ABLE account that can help. If you are on SSI and were diagnosed as disabled before the age of 26 you can apply for an ABLE account that will allow you to save up to $99,000. More people need to know about this!

[strawbebbynya]

thank you so much for this information. i’m applying for an abled account right now

I thought about whether or not to share this…but I think I will anyways.

I am sharing this because this reporter has recently uploaded a video showing some people trying to get him to step out of his apartment to do a “fever scan.” Those people outside of his apartment are most likely there to arrest him and silence him for spreading “rumors” or “information” that causes general panic. The reporter refuses to step out because he tells them he has a right to stay within the apartment which is private property (or something along those lines). He is in a very dangerous situation since he is going against his government’s wishes.

I am not trying to scare anyone or trying to spread a “conspiracy” – no, this is honestly the problem with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) because they will control the state media, the web within mainland China, and even wechat (a major Chinese SNS) to make it seem like the coronavirus is not that serious. The problem is as this reporter has presented and numerous videos surfacing on youtube is that the situation is very bad for the population who are susceptible to the virus due to other health complications. Bodies are literally piling up within hospitals and there is absolutely reasons/concerns for reporters and civilians to speak out about what they see because it simply does not match up with the numbers being reported on Chinese news stations/media outlets.

What is heartbreaking is that the CCP will arrest reporters and other professionals to prevent them from trying to spread more informed information regarding the virus. Why? Because the CCP does not want the rest of the Chinese population to panic, sure, but what is more important is that they do not want the general public to view the outbreak as something really terrible. They are doing everything they can to play down the severity of the virus. Because if the general public panics, they will become enraged, if they become enraged, they will start to seek answers for why the outbreak started in the first place. The CCP does not want the public to start asking hard questions that will ultimately lead back to the CCP for failing to contain the virus and worst, allowing the outbreak to happen in the first place, which is due to poor enforcement of general sanitation and BANNING the trade of wild animals.

I have shared 2 more videos on this post for you guys to get a sense of what the CCP has been trying to do, and the misinformation they have managed to spread are already showing signs in the general Chinese population who remain ignorant, and they’re being taking advantage of because most people want to believe that the situation is not as grave.

I want there to be more awareness of what’s going on and why there has been some mixed messages being sent out from people living in China.

Essentially there is the larger population which don’t see what’s truly happening in hospitals because most people choose to stay at home (to reduce chances of getting the virus) and then receive news from the “major” Chinese news broadcast (most likely controlled and regulated by the CCP already). And then there are the people who actually see people dying around them, health professionals working day and night to see patients, and the reporters who are trying to share the heartbreaking news of the deaths they see (but reporters who actually try to speak out despite the CCP’s censorship and criticize their government are jailed).

Either way….it is a terrible situation and this is what happens when you have a government that refuses to take any blame or prostrate itself before its citizens. The CCP doesn’t care about its citizens. Two hundred deaths, three hundreds deaths, it doesn’t matter to them and they will twist these numbers and they will tell the general Chinese population that these numbers are insignificant.  “What are these numbers compared to the total population of our great nation?” Nothing.

That is what the CCP does.  

I’m so tired of it.

Oh, oh, this reminds me of the only known bilingual palindrome:

Anger? ‘Tis safe never. Bar it! Use love.

Spell that backward and you get:

Evoles ut ira breve nefas sit; regna!

Which is Latin for:

Rise up, in order that your anger may be but a brief madness; control it!

No it’s not. Panoramas like this are a painstaking, labor-intensive digital product, not made by just “rolling down a hill”.

This image, “Big Sur,” is part of a series called “Alterrnative Perspectives” by photographer Randy Scott Slavin. It is an example of stereographic projection. 

“Slavin’s circular panoramic digital technique is a way of seeing only made possible through digital methods and is an orientation he masterfully devised after much experimentation. The time required to capture the images and then create the photographs, which can consist of hundreds of photos “stitched” together to create a single 360-degree image.” (Amy Frearson, Dezeen.com. 2 July 2012)

when my cat got deadly sick she refused to eat a single thing and it had been days but when i started crying she ate just a little bit, and upon seeing how happy it made me, kept doing it whenever she could.

now whenever im sad or crying she finds wherever i am with a mouthful of food and eats the pieces one by one, every time looking up at me making sure i was watching her eat it all because she knew it made me happy. and it DOES make me happy
