Trash For Good Animated Shows

There were multiple discussed, and even working, versions of the original introduction to Cinderella, including scenes where we see the titular character with her mother, grieving the loss of her father, and Lady Tremaine making the acquaintance of her new stepdaughter. Ultimately, Walt opted for the final version above for a few reasons. First, Walt felt there should be a spoken narrator and he specifically wanted the voice to be that of a woman's (Betty Lou Gerson was cast, who would later go on to be Cruella De Vil). Second, he wisely knew that this film would deal with Cinderella as an adult character and how she continued to fight against the abuse that was inflicted upon her and would, ultimately, triumph over her perpetrators. He felt spending too much time on the background of that struggle would detract from the setup of how we first meet her and the action resulting from how she navigates her circumstances in the present. Lastly, the narration serves to explicitly state that Cinderella was "abused, humiliated, and finally forced to become a servant in her own house." There isn't room for someone to interpret that the abuse "was not that bad," or that she should've "tried to just leave," or any of the other weak criticisms people have for this film and abuse victims at large. We are told Cinderella is forced into this situation with no way out in the only home she's ever known from the time she is a small child, it is canonically stated that she is abused, and we see that she's grown up in this toxic family structure, being grossly mistreated by Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, and Drizella. This sets her up as the heroine- while her stepsisters perpetuate the cycle of abuse, she puts an end to it through building community where she can, never losing sight of herself, and continuing to keep hope alive. This prevents her from giving up, and ultimately leads to her salvation as her repeated attempts to leave her abusive household to attend the ball and be seen as a person in the eyes of her society finally become successful.

Our idiots at home ministry came up with the fucking idea to start a register for all transgender and nonbinary people which would mean every person working at some public position could always at any given time see your assigned gender at birth, your deadname, your address and who knows what else.

We had been there in the past. Hitler Germany called it the "Travestite Law" back then. Our politicians didn't learn.

We all know this is unacceptable.

Please, if you are German, sign it. If you are not, spread it wide and far.

This had been stopped once a few years ago. It needs to be stopped again.

Here's some of the language from the new post about AO3's police on commercial promotion:

-

There is a wide variety of things that are not allowed under AO3's non-commercialization rules.

Any other language which one might interpret as requesting or having requested financial contributions, whether for yourself or others. This covers indirect references, euphemisms, or other language intended to get around the TOS. Some examples of this include:

AO3 came out of an exlicitly anti-monetization fan culture. You will hear the founders of AO3 use the term "gift economy" a lot if you follow any of their socials, which is another way of saying "mutual aid economy."

AO3 is a non-profit organization built and coded and maintained by volunteer labor and charitable donations.

Understand that when you try to use the AO3 platform to monetize, you are not just monetizing your own labor as a fan creator. You are also monetizing the volunteer labor of everyone who built that platform.

And they will tell you that they are NOT OKAY with you exploiting THEIR LABOR, THEIR HOURS UPON HOURS OF CODING AND TAG WRANGLING AND ORGANIZING AND FUNDRAISING, for your personal gain.

Don't overlook the online processors - even more than Visa and Mastercard they are the ones pressuring online retailers. PayPal is the one that's been pressuring Patreon over the last year or so.

That woman never gendered me right once, but she shut up about Jesus long enough to feed people next to us bc she cared more about action than ideology. She also had a whole network of other church people who helped contribute $ to ingredients. We provided more and better meals together than in our "correct" silos

Every time you ask Copilot to write you a PowerShell script to stroke your boss' ego, a city experiences a brownout.

Every time you chat with your AI "girlfriend" a farmer doesn't get to water their animals.

And he was mourned. Superman cried for him—this stranger who gave him free falafel and, while facing death, told him that he still believed in him. Metamorpho, this cold-seeming man who is being actively blackmailed to do this, breaking down and taking the risk to believe in Superman, too, because seeing someone murdered right in front of him is devastating enough to take the risk. The newspapers run a front page article talking about how they’re going to memorialize him.

The stakes didn’t have to involve real actual loss of life. The threat of it was enough to convey the severity of the situation. Because human life is that important. All life is that important, at least to Superman who goes out of his way to save dogs and squirrels.

So the government just defunded PBS and NPR which is fucked. That being said, the public can cover the damage if we orginize and donate.

Only about $1.60 of tax dollars per US citizen per year are spent on the public broadcasting budget. NPR and PBS offer beong able to make small monthly donations, some being 7$ per month or lower if you want.

If you want to donate 1.60$ per month to your local station, you can multiply how much funding they get from you by 12. If you do their monthly donation of $7 per month, your donation can equal the tax dollars of 54 people spent on public broadcasting per year.

If you want to donate to your local station, look them up by your town here to make sure your local stations get helped specifically:

The phrase "our flaws and fears must never be seen" feels.... like a misinterpretation of an older phrase.

So the movie shows that the more rumi is ashamed of her patterns, the more they grow. As that seems true for any human turned demon. The shame grows and so does Gwi-Ma's power over them. What does shoving your flaws and fear deeper and deeper do? Provise more fuel for shame.

My theory is that the original hunters phrase was "Our flaws and fears must not bring shame" meaning that you should be accepting and open about these things. You should be transparent so as not to feel ashamed. But the phrase was misconstrued over centuries to mean "your flaws and fear CANNOT bring us shame so push them deep and never let them show".

I feel like the original demon hunters were aware that deep shame was what allowed Gwi Ma control over someone and the ability to turn them demon and were trying to warn future demon hunters of this.

But as we see, theyve been around for centuries which means mistranslations, misinterpretations, and debates of meaning would occur and change the original phrase, as we've seen in cultures and history around the world.
