**I Put A Spell On You**

Everyone struggles with this feeling. 

like, what other song can make that claim?

The crowd cheering after the first stanza when they realize what they’re all doing

So many people audibly ‘doing the guitar parts’… like ya do

The sheer number of voices joining the rediculous falsetto (thanks, Roger)

How they all start jumping at the ramp-up “so you think you can stomp me”

Folklore student answer: “Also, almost all cultures have something like djinn, faeries, hulder, fox spirits, and other similar creatures who can appear at least human and are very, very dangerous to humans!” 

Also it’s important to remember that the Uncanny Valley is a fairly recent theory, and only a theory. Might it be possible that, if you hadn’t ever been exposed to the idea that certain types of inanimate humanoid figures are “creepy,” you wouldn’t find them so? that you AREN’T actually predisposed from birth to be spooked by dolls, mannequins, statues, etc?

22 YEARS AGO ON DECEMBER 18, 1998 - DREAMWORKS ANIMATION RELEASED “THE PRINCE OF EGYPT”

Because DreamWorks was concerned about theological accuracy, they decided to call in Biblical scholars, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim theologians, and Arab American leaders to help the film be more accurate and faithful to the original story. After previewing the developing film, all these leaders noted that the studio executives listened and responded to their ideas, and praised the studio for reaching out for comment from outside sources.

The animation team for The Prince of Egypt included 350 artists from 34 different nations. Careful consideration was given to depicting the ethnicities of the ancient Egyptians, Hebrews, and Nubians properly.

Both character design and art direction worked to set a definite distinction between the symmetrical, more angular look of the Egyptians versus the more organic, natural look of the Hebrews and their related environments. The backgrounds department, headed by supervisors Paul Lasaine and Ron Lukas, oversaw a team of artists who were responsible for painting the sets/backdrops from the layouts. Within the film, approximately 934 hand-painted backgrounds were created.

But y'all, she fucked up. She had kittens in my garage last May. She was at my mercy.

I fed her meat and water while she recovered and nursed. I gently held her babies. She didn't like it, but as I said, she fucked up, because she was too weak from the birth to protest. The weeks passed. Her kittens were fully socialized and grew to be healthy and fluffy little things. Felicia was now comfortable with my presence, probably because I had not yet eaten her babies or anything like that, but touches were a big NO! That was okay by me though. I figured I would just have her spayed and we could remain civil neighbors.

But then she let me pet her.

A few weeks later she started purring and demanding rubs.

And today she let me hold her.

Human: what?

Cat: you are my person.

Human: wait

Cat: love me

the OG of the vicious burn

Taurus: irregular eating habbits, more quiet and thinking, tired, if you see the, crying it’s really bad

Gemini: might come off as rude or ignorant, tends to isolate themselves from others, talks much less then usual

Cancer: sometimes they can become very angry, screams and pushes people away from them, emotional rollercoaster, either binge eating or lack of food

Leo: angry, looks like they don’t want to talk to you and they don’t, can come off as rude, not as talkative/loud as usual, doesn’t really laugh and can be very pesimistic

Virgo: lack of sleep, might avoid people and overally talk much less, looks and acts tired, can be rude, doesn’t care about other people’s feeling at that very moment

Libra: looks tired, will probably try to talk to you about their problems but then will say something like “ahh don’t worry about it :)”, not as happy and optimistic as they usually are

Scorpio: will take everything personally, might be sarcastic or rude, complains, might actually cry in front of you, won’t tell you if they need help or a hug, tries to act normal

Sagittarius: stops caring, almost doesn’t laugh, distant from people, doesn’t really talk, might as well just disappear for a few days and you won’t know where they’ve gone

Capricorn: you can see it in their face, doubts everything they do, wants to talk about it but doesn’t know how, very quiet

Aquarius: can be rude, becomes more introverted; stays at home if they can, doesn’t talk to people, irregular sleeping

2) smash this idiot idea that it’s only high school kids working minimum wage jobs: who do you think is making you your Starbucks at 12 pm? The highschool kids are all in highschool, idiot. At my retail store where people make minimum wage, we have no staff under 25 years old right now, about half the staff have families, they are all making minimum wage.

3) these people are providing you goods and services that are important and you want. You want a burrito. You want a coffee. Why on earth should the people providing us essential services not make enough money to pay their rent and their bills? Explain to me why this group of people deserves to live in poverty?

4) these jobs are not “unskilled” as in they’re easy to do and any asshole could do them. They are working harder than any prick sitting in an office chair all day.

5) Canada has raised its minimum wage. My province has had a minimum wage of $15 per hour for four years. Burritos do not cost $30 here, no one has gone out of business because they can’t afford to pay their workers anymore. What HAS happened is that I can now afford to live with my kids in my own apparent and not have to share it with my sister and her kids, I can afford to actually buy things, I can afford to cook healthy food and replace my shoes when they fall apart. The extra money I am making goes straight back into the local economy. My health and the health of my kids will be better and we will cost our government less. Don’t be a fucking idiot.
