lnfinite Library of Cyrene

He is played obviously camp and dramatic, for a start, and there is the aforementioned "hate your hair/not likely/yikes yikes yikes/let me guess you have a great personality" summary dismissal of all his potential brides. Then he spends dinner asking Yzma about Kronk ("so he seems nice? He's what, in his late twenties?") and otherwise being slightly obsessed with him.

Then there is the whole Adventure of Doom with Pacha, him being ever huffy about the Kiss of Life, and then the restaurant gag where Kuzco takes to playing Pacha's fake wife and dressing up in ladies' clothing with great gusto (reinforced by the waitress' "bless you for coming out in public" remark when Pacha says they're on their honeymoon). Then when he is finally de-llamafied, we don't see him paired off with the obligatory girl from the lineup earlier, as might otherwise be expected in a Disney movie. Instead he is still single, but goes to found family it up with Pacha, Chica, Kronk, etc, which dare we remark is a very queer trope.

In short, I have no idea how a Disney movie with no white people (all the characters are Indigenous/people of color), a gay king, cross-dressing jokes, and the most offbeat plot of all time actually ever got made (can you imagine the Family Friendly Mouse doing that today? Let us also talk about Kronk because he is a brilliant deconstruction of both toxic masculinity and the musclebound henchman stereotype.) Other than that this was the Chaos Hour of animated movies in the late 90s/early 2000s, and yes.

Please, read this article if you have some time. This story is wild, and involves directors being pitted against each other Bake-Off style and a shockingly intimate documentary created by the wife of Sting who, himself was heartbroken by the decimation of the songs he wrote for the film including cutting a fantastic Yzma villain song sung by Eartha Kitt that is SO DAMN GOOD but would not ever have fit the more nailed-down Yzma we would eventually come to know and love. It’s so catchy though, I’m doubling up on calls to action but please listen now:

Per the article linked in the tweet: the scripts have already been written, there are no writers on set and no more revisions, and Disney has issued a memo forcing the productions to go on and forcing hyphenate WGA members to return to work to do obligated non-writer duties (directing, acting, producing, etc.)—even if it potentially means that forcing hyphenates to do their obligated non-writing responsibilities skews close to or can be interpreted as performing struck work or scabbing.

Andor, like many scripted series filming in the UK that already have their scripts completed, is being ordered to go ahead and film specifically because the studios know that these locations are not picketed like US locations in LA and New York. The majority of the industry is not on strike, actually, and they are obligated to keep working if there is no picket line blocking entry. (Sidenote, late night was suspended because late night scripts are written very close to filming; they must immediately shut down because they have no scripts completed and writer-actors cannot write their own lines. Further sidenote, I do not know where the article got "most productions shut down in solidarity" because that's not really true.)

Until there is a picket line denying entry to the UK studios and locations where Andor is filming, the production of Andor is obligated to continue on without its writers if Disney orders it to do so.

There's something much worse going on here than "the people who created Andor are ignoring the strike and going ahead anyway." It's Disney the studio knows that the scripts are completed and is ordering the production to go ahead without on-set writers, and Disney knows what a hyphenate like a showrunner is and is not obligated to perform during the strike (yes producing, no writing) and is trying to pressure hyphenates like Gilroy to perform non-writing portions of their jobs in a way that may corner them into strikebreaking and get them in trouble with the guild.

Andor (and many other scripted series) that have completed scripts going ahead and filming without writers on set and without any further revisions that may arise as necessary isn't necessarily thumbing their noses at the strike and the WGA, it's working under the strains of capitalism and under pressure from companies to keep working.

There's a lot of legal rules around picketing in the UK, but once a picket is set up, it's legal for anyone at the workplace to refuse to cross it.

If any members of the WGA want to organise pickets in the UK, please feel free to HMU for advice, and I can also put you in touch with trained picket supervisors and others who may be able to help.

Otherwise autism and ADHD aren't as overlapping as people say, but because of this rhetoric people on tiktok are now fucking theorising that autism and ADHD ARE THE SAME SPECTRUM CONDITION.

Like pls. If you're gonna share that venn diagram from neurodivergent insight, at least educate yourself on how the traits that look similar on the outside present themselves differently in the two conditions, and how highly autism and ADHD are comorbid. Hear that? Not overlapping. Not very similar. Not the same. COMORBID. Meaning you can have both.

Besides this, another thing that started circulating is that "CPTSD mimics autism so much that you can't tell the two apart" like NO!! AUTISM AND CPTSD ARE ALSO TWO VERY DIFFERENT CONDITIONS FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER GOD IS WATCHING OVER ME RIGHT NOW.

Not to mention that these rhetorics can harm self and late dx'd people so much. Especially autistic people who have lower support needs might be invalidated by people telling them "are you sure it's not just adhd/ptsd?"

It can harm people's self-dx process, those people who can't get professional dx for whatever reason. We already have very limited research and info, we don't need blatant misinfo as well.

The two Big Rules when instructing younger students was- 1. Compliment before Critique 2. Don’t say ‘but’, say ‘now’

Praise kids on what they get right first, especially if they are struggling. Like OP said, kids don’t like to engage with people who make them feel bad. They need encouragement when learning new things.

Number two boils down to this. If you tell a kid a compliment, then say “but you need to fix this”, that ‘but’ completely negates your compliment. It’s gone. It was canceled out like adding a negative to a positive. Using “hey, that punch is looking great, now let’s focus on your stance” doesn’t verbally cancel out the progress they’ve made. It’s like they’ve checked off something on their list of stuff to work on.

Contributing would help our podcast finally become a reality and show what 3 years of work can create. If that’s not enough here are a few more reasons to convince you:
