The Milt Kahl Head Swaggle (Source: Cartoon Brew)

I love it when you can pick up an animator’s quirks. 

[kaseylgifford]

     I’ve read in old interviews with Milt Khal’s fellow animators that he did the swaggle to purposefully show off. Moving the head in 3-d space is an exceptionally hard thing to do but Khal upped the level of difficulty to a place many animators wouldn’t go.      Not only are they all doing the swaggle you’ll notice they are all TALKING while they are doing it. This is back in the days where you had to use a timing sheet to pace your animation and a head swaggle doesn’t work if its too slow or too fast so he had to figure out the right speed so it looked natural while the character finishes what they have to say while not interfering with the distinct mouth shapes.       Not only did Khal do it without any shifting weight problems or timing issues he would often do it while moving the rest of the body. This isn’t his signature move just because he was good at it.This is his signature move because he was one of the only people skilled enough to DO IT AT ALL.

Milt Khal was a MASTER.

CHRIS PINE for Esquire Magazine (2023)

Red velvet dress. Not to be confused with the cake. But just as yummy, yes?

I adore red velvet, and the deep crimson hue of this gown is no exception. Though it looks quite modern it's about 120 years old, dating from the 19th and 20th centuries.

You see, this dress had alterations. We know the original gown was from 1887, but in around 1902 the bodice and, likely, the skirt were updated to reflect the fashion of the times.

Silk velvet is just such a marvel, though. The way it absorbs light makes it hard to photograph, but when they get it right it's magical. Everything about this dress is just timeless. I especially love the contrasting taffeta on the hem!

It’s the exact dress featured (pre-alterations) in this John Singer Sargent painting:

reblog not for a “bigger sample size” but because polls like this are a fun way to help people reinforce their own self-concept and passing it along so that other people can also have the opportunity to strengthen their sense of self by pressing a button is a cool and nice thing to do

As a woman who has worked many food service and retail jobs, and knows how soul sucking it is, I love going out of my way to be nice to employees who work w/ the general public. Like sometimes I’ll just say something like “Excuse me, I come here all the time and you are always so helpful ☺️” and just walk away basking in that look of the “wait this customer is talking to me but what they’re saying is actually NICE—thank you!!!!” energy. It’s a delight.

I learned it from the nice older ladies who were my regulars at Kohl’s. I pass it on.

I’m the exact same. I worked as a barrista in a cafe and then I worked cash at Chapters book store in the early 2000s. Those were really physically and mentally exhausting jobs and I was paid 7.10 an hour. I am always always super polite to servers and any staff really, now.

i think queer people should be more confusing actually. i think we should make everyone as confused as possible until they give up and realize that total understanding of other people isnt the gateway to respect and compassion
