I’ve been doing a lot of movement studies lately to finally get the “full figures and dynamic poses give me headache” problem out of my way. These are in large part referenced from invaluable motion sequences by Eadweard Muybridge.
Of course I imagine it’s Corvo training, because it makes my life more beautiful.
His restaurant was robbed at gun point, and he was shot in the arm…
The person in this cartoon is intentionally pitting two separate demographics of people with similar grievances against each other.
Implicitly, the veteran thinks that the fast food worker does not deserve $15 per hour because he does not work hard enough for it, whereas veterans have been shot at for a living and still do not receive enough care. The fast food worker’s obvious reaction is to be indignant and provide the veteran with a blow-by-blow account of how he has to deal with the foulest dregs of humanity on a daily basis.
This puts the veteran and the fast food worker on opposing sides: each thinks that the other is in some way holding them back and distracting from their own issues.
This creates a villain for each side to focus on, which distracts them from what should obviously be the primary target, that both sets of people should be teaming up against: a system which can’t even pretend to care about the issues that either of them face.
Divide and conquer.
Politicians do this all the time, and it’s amazing how we as voters keep falling for it. All you have to do is show up in front of a crowd of angry people, and tell those people that an Acceptable Target is to blame. Could be White People, could be The Jews, The Illegals, The Godless Heathens, whatever works. Then all of the disparate groups which should be united against you are instead warring against each other. And at least one of those groups is looking to you to stop the Other Group Menace. Voila, you have a voter base that you can exploit and screw over for as long as the Other Group remains a credible threat.
Of course, sometimes the ploy is not as obvious as that. Sometimes it’s as subtle as this cartoon.
Guess this was my political rant for today.

People demanding fair wages, no matter their place of employ, are not the enemy. Those who would pay them less than a living wage. -V
note: don’t know who these are for the most part! they might be gay, i just found them on google images. also this isn’t a ranked list i just like numbers
1. tapered and long
the top two are probably the best approximation of this cut. i like it because it’s floofy but you don’t necessarily have to have curls to pull it off
2. bowl cut pixie
ngl i thought i wasn’t going to like this but i’m actually a huge fan. gives me kind of edgy lisbeth salander vibes. this would be a really good way for femmes to flag too because it’s kinda off center of straight fashion
3. buzzcut
a classique and sexie look. buzzcuts looks rly good when they’re dyed if you’re into that (i especially love obnoxiously bright colours). if we’re doing characters, this reminds me of furiosa obviously and we all know she’s a lesbian legend
4. undercut
i’m obsessed with undercuts. it looks so so cute with curly hair or straight hair. i also like how it can be really soft or really severe depending on how you style it. it’s also super androgynous
5. short shag
terrible name but a super cute haircut. it’s softer than some of the other ones i have listed if that’s what you’re into. looks cute with curly or straight hair. gives me a bit of baby butch vibes.
6. pompadour
love it! classic! that janelle monae look? beautiful. it lengthens your face if that sweetens the deal for anyone. very dependable and handsome butch look. would highly recommend.
7. curly mohawk
this hairstyle is VERY important to me as a gay because it makes women look beautiful. the top right girl is literally my dream girl. also you can style it soft or really punk which is super hot.
8. random pics of women i found
wow i fuckign. i just love women! look at that! we really do short hair well ladies! thanks for reading my post i hope you enjoyed
As someone that identifies with butch, this makes me happy 😊
I think I might show one of these to my hairdresser next time I get a cut Holy shit I love these
I don’t want to live any longer in this world of “the customer is always right.” This is a world that shows the aggressive, the bull-headed, the cruel that they have full license to behave like beasts to get what they want. Half the time, they’re even rewarded for it; “here, ma’am, so sorry for the trouble, please accept this gift card–no charge.”
I want to live in a world that punishes these childish adults as you punish a toddler throwing a tantrum. No candy for you, Jimmy; you’re going home to bed if you can’t mind yourself in public.
Throw a hissy fit because your cashier isn’t moving as fast as you’d like? Find yourself gently escorted from the store until you can show some basic compassion and patience.
Hurl a pen across the table at your signing agent? You’ve just forfeited your right to refinance your mortgage this week. Try again when your temper is managed.
Scream obscenities at the Taco Bell rep because you know it’ll earn you a free soft shell? Here’s your money back; please feel free to play again when you’ve realized fast food is not worth more than the price of human dignity.
I am so sick of accepting–and, in truth, rewarding–these callous behavior patterns in customer service industries. The fact is, the customer is not always right. The customer is often just testing to see what he can get away with. Stop pandering to spoiled children, and show your employees they have more value than their red polo, or how much abuse they can withstand in a 40-hour week.
We are here to provide a service and to make a living.
We are not your punching bags.
seems like the right time of year to bring this back around
