In fact, in a surprisingly large number of species, homosexual activity is positively correlated with heterosexual activity: same-sex interactions actually increase as animals gain access to opposite-sex partners and decrease in their absence. This is the exact reverse of what would be expected if homosexuality resulted from a lack of access to heterosexual mating opportunities.

“Wherever you look, there is no alternative to the megascale corporate order, from which every form of local creativity and initiative has been abolished by distant home offices. Even the woods and the meadows have been stripped of disorderly life forms and forced into a uniform made of concrete. What you see–highways, parking lots, stores–is all there is, or all that’s left to us here in the reign of globalized, totalized, paved-over, corporatized everything. I like to read the labels to find out where the clothing we sell is made–Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey, the Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Brazil–but the labels serve only to remind me that none of these places is ‘exotic’ anymore, that they’ve all been eaten by the great blind profit-making global machine.”

"The doctrinaire and necessarily fantastic anticipations of the programme of action for a revolution of the future only divert us from the struggle of the present."

There are tasks that diverse genders do together and there are tasks we do apart, and different kinds of thinking that come with different energies in all of those contexts.

My grandmother never allowed pizza delivery. Pizza—yes, most definitely, frequently, likely for a medically inadvisable percentage of grandma-house meals, but only if you took her keys, locked the door behind you, drove the Malibu—tape deck stacked with “Electric Ladyland,” for just such necessary excursions—across town and schlepped the steaming box back yourself, again locking the door behind you. I’m not sure if it was an abject fear of delivery personnel, something nefarious laying in an unknown driver lurking, even if said lurking was only out of pepperoni remittance and tip hope. Maybe it was the tip itself, an avoidance of sorts. Or it could have been the disclosing of her address. Maybe she was in trouble with the law. Maybe all, or a combination, or something else, all rolled together into one of those nebulous anxiety yarn balls one comes to know and generally acknowledge and accept when hungry and negotiating with a late-80’s grandmother. So I’d never really ask, would shrug with mild annoyance, take the keys, and let her pay with a crisp twenty-dollar-bill, because in hindsight, I’m not nearly as thoughtful as I’d like to believe.

Had to render a bunch of speedpaint footage today, so I decided to get some more animation practice in while my computer was busy! First time trying to do frame animation on paper - it was real fun, but when I put the frames into my video software I realized the figures had somehow ended up drifting downward, so I had to make a few corrections XD
(ngl, most of the process consisted of scrubbing through the snippet of the bridge fight from The Winter Soldier that I had open as a ref after accidentally refreshing the webpage when I tried to go through it frame by frame)

“The term [Olympic] is in the public domain. If you are not afraid of looking ridiculous, and if your efforts are considerable enough to be compared to what goes into organising a standard Olympiad, go ahead and use it. No one has the right to prevent you from doing so.”
— Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the Modern Olympics, 1910. (via politicsandolympics-blog)
“Fake people are only nice when it’s convenient for them and they usually have a hidden agenda. Genuinely nice people go out of their way to help others and they have an honest heart. Stick with the ones who never let you down and keep their promises. You can’t fake that.”
