If you are watching a TV show, it can be live action or animated.

But not when you're reading a book. Much to think about.

#some scenes get images #a few get 'animated' #but it's not a defined style #and it's not always 'animation' #it can look like live action at times #but only snippets #it's just narration 90% of the time

one profession that does need better gatekeeping is people who write or translate subtitles. brother that is not what was said.

#translations #it's not gatekeeping that's the problem #it's stingy pay and fast turnaround #so the only people who go through those gates #are the ones willing to work for peanuts #who don't give a shit about quality #bc that isn't what they're getting paid for

people really blame teachers for the existence of the demonic meditatii, buuuut does your 3 year old REALLY need meditatii la engleza, oana? does your third grader REALLY need meditatii la romana, alina?

my family literally forces down my throat all sort of meditatii with their kids, but let's be honest! your child doesn't really need to know how to use past simple vs present perfect when he's just 7 and barely speaks his mother tongue! just take a bit of time to explain to your kid why "a fi" is different than other verbs! don't just throw yourself at holy demonic meditatii only to complain later online

#parenting #i've been saying this for years #to all the parents i meet #who insist on throwing more and more meditatii at their kids #i took six hours of meditatii total at the end of high school #to brush up on romanian grammar #before the uni entrance exam #that's it #your kid does not need extra classes for every single school subject #they need the time to process all the information they're already getting #and encouragement to keep going #they need hobbies to relax from all that school work #and figure out what they want to do with their lives

from "gender outlaws: the next generation"

image transcript:

Let me break it down this way: some lesbians and gays feel that their issues are more important than transgender issues, because transgender people are freaks. Some transgender people—often, but not only, transsexuals—view transsexual issues as more important than the issues of, say, cross-dressers. Some among the more genderqueer portions of our community look down upon those who opt to live in a more “normatively gendered” space. There are even groups that cross-dressers feel superior to: sissies, drag kings and queens, “little girls,” and so on. Yes, I’m sure that we could follow even each of these groups and find that, eventually, everyone has someone they view as a freak.

This is a human phenomenon, and one which occurs especially, it seems, among marginalized groups. Trekkers versus trekkies versus people in Klingon costumes, or furries versus fursuiters versus, oh, plushies. I’m sure if I looked at model railroaders, I’d probably find that HO gauge fans look down at N scale, or something like that. The taxonomies are endless, often circular, and are usually graded to a fineness that would be invisible to any outsider. We just want to identify the “real” freaks, so we can feel closer to normal. In reality, not a single one of us is so magically normative as to claim the right to separate out the freaks from everyone else. We are all freaks to someone. Maybe even—if we’re honest—to ourselves.

the scariest thing about old tv isnt really the racism or the sexisim because you kinda go in braced for that it's all the scenes where suddenly an actress is holding a lion cub or a chimpanzee is in the same room as a toddler, or suddenly theres a lion, or there's a chimpanzee again but it's driving a car, or holding a lighter, or holding fireworks. You just kind of watch in horror as over and over an actress performs with only 1960s tv film shootings best animal handling between her and the opening to Nope.
