@CarriePoppyYES Thank you! Take your time ❤️ I'm finishing the episode today, I hadn't been expecting that level of emotion with my ONRAC this week! Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
VFX artist here, heres what happened: Clients continually change the brief, shot design and planning are no longer a priority, and we have a lot more work to get through in a shorter amount of time. We have and can create work better than back in the day, it just needs the right leadership team, planning, and time to make sure it happens.
The average film changes a lot more during postproduction now than they used to. This means new work gets added to our plate and work we’ve already started (and sometimes even finished) gets scrapped. The “fix it in post” mentality also doesn’t help.
As with everything VFX related, it’s almost always the studio/leadership team who is responsible for when things don’t get done up to scratch and never the actual artists fault.
Some of my favorite brands for inclusive, beautiful, ethically made clothes have been launching their own resale programs, meaning there's even more options to get good quality at more accessible prices. Here's 10. 🧵
I do not get paid if you click or buy. US-based.
I won. I won my appeal.
The Luxembourg court has ruled that Jeff Dieschburg infringed upon my copyright when he used my work without consent.
Using a different medium was irrelevant. My work being 'available online' was irrelevant. Consent was necessary. 1/
This is why reporters don't want to speak to the designated spokesperson. They know they'll get a cogent, thorough explanation of what the movement's demands are and that's disappointing for reporters hoping to portray an entitled hateful mob.
The reasons he shared are heartbreaking because this is what the "bear vs man" discussion is actually about. Violence against women.
One thing I'm seeing more & more come from this "man vs bear" discussion is more & more men standing up to highlight that this discussion is about violence against women, yet misogynistic abusive men continue to willfully miss the point and cry about women choosing the bear.

The most cruel thing about going through an incredibly traumatic time is that there is no way to catch up with people or be social without mentioning the horrible trauma you’re going through. It’s your status quo. You can’t even talk about yourself.
None of these folks showed up when I lived on campus and white supremacists with tikki torches yelling “Jews will not replace us” marched through campus as I hid my three kids.
A man almost went to jail after being charged with a hit and run on a cop causing him serious injury. UNTIL someone came forth with some dashcam footage.
Check out how the cop got hurt.
@MoseyDm I have a painting from an episode of Constantine. It's a an adaptation of the original Hellblazer comic cover (the issue where he first mentions his bisexuality) to match Matt Ryan's likeness.
THE REAL KRISTI NOEM STORY AND WHY THIS RANCHER CALLS BULLSHIT:
I was born on a cattle and poultry farm — I have spent the majority of my life living on the farm — and I currently have a ranch in Tennessee with cattle, horses, and sheep — and what I am here to tell you is that Kristi Noem was wrong.
From the time I could crawl, I’ve been around hunting dogs — my dad raised treeing walkers and we currently have a treeing walker and a German shorthair pointer bird dog on the farm with us now.
I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat and have limited knowledge of Noem’s political dealings — I base my opinion on her own words in describing what was done; words that many people supporting her decision have not read.
As a rancher and an agricultural attorney, I 100% support the right of farmers and ranchers to protect their stock, including the use of deadly force on any animal, dog or otherwise, who is attempting to kill the stock — or poultry, as it was in this case.
But contrary to the false narratives being posited on this site, that is not what occurred in this case.
In the quotes published to date, Noem spends a fraction of the time in addressing the poultry incident, while attempting to justify her actions by opining on the dog’s hunting abilities.
The dog in question was a 14-month old German wire-haired pointer, a bird dog in training to hunt pheasant. Noem had taken the dog on a hunt with some older dogs to help train her but said the dog ruined the hunt with her overexuberance and puppy-like behavior.
On the way home from the hunt, Noem stopped by a friend’s house; however, Noem or someone else from her party apparently did not latch the kennel, and the young dog got out, got in with the neighbor’s chickens and began taking one bite at a time to kill each chicken, then moved on to the next one.
I have seen that exact behavior previously from young hunting dogs with chickens, to include our own GSP. That is not a blood-thirsty killer, but is in fact a condition of curiosity in most any dog’s behavior who finds themselves face-to-face the first time in a pen of chickens.
If Noem’s friend had walked inside her home, grabbed her deer rifle, and shot Cricket right between the eyes before she killed another of her chickens, that is an act I would fully support and is an act that is allowed under the law.
And while that is the scenario some are screaming in support of regarding Noem, it is not at all what occurred in this case.
