I strongly believe in Harley Quinn and Riza Hawkeye supremacy
Tatiana Maslany was literally insane for playing like 12 different people with the same face and then interacting with multiple versions of herself for five whole seasons
she really Did Thatā¢ and we are all incredibly grateful
No! No, but hereās the important thing! She did it so flawlessly, that you would actually forget these characters are the same actress.
I found myself feeling bad for the actor who plays Alisonās husband, because āhe never gets to work with Maslany,ā because in my head I kept equating her with Sarah, when literally he only worked with Maslany!
The special effects were so seemless, and her performances were so flawless that we have never seen this gimmick done this effectively, this naturally. And I donāt think we ever will again.
She deserved that emmy.
Itās impossible to describe how phenomenally good a job Maslany did with these characters. Like, it wasnāt just that she played every one of these characters so genuinely and distinctly that you forgot they were the same actress. It was also that the characters, being clones, would deceive people by playing each other.
Alison would be on the screen, and youād be like, āthatās Alisonā. Then Sarah would be on the screen, and youād be like, āthatās Sarahā. Then someone who looked exactly like Sarah would be on the screen, and youād be like, āOh, Alison is pretending to be Sarah.ā And some of the clones were better at pretending to be each other than other clones were. And you could always tell who you were looking at and who they were trying to imitate.
Still one of the greatest TV shows Iāve ever seen
Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.
Obviously there are black string players. We just don’t see them because they “don’t look like” string players.
This person is the real deal. They were clearly classically trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?
So, I’ve gone back to working at Home Depot while I’m going back to college right? Well, shit is about to hit the fan at Home Depot’s across the country. A new policy has been put in place about warnings for not following your schedule to the T, which originally everyone thought only applied to punch in and punch out times. Which would be fine! A lot of people do come in late too often, or leave late, or whatever.
BUT. Home Depot also, technically, schedules what time you’re supposed to take your lunch. But NO ONE follows this part of the schedule because you literally CAN’T. The lunch times are so random and rarely work with people’s coverage and they frequently break the rule of getting a 30 minute break every 5 hours because of where they sit in a shift. Plus, sometimes they’ll be super early in a shift when you just aren’t hungry yet.
And the new policy? If you are even a few minutes off on taking your scheduled lunch you’ll get an attendance occurrence. (Or half of one, depending on how off you are in your timing.) Once you reach 10 occurrences, which would only take about 2-3 weeks at most of being off on your lunches, you get fired.
Talking to a customer? Too bad, you must drop everything and go to lunch. In the middle of cutting a lumber order for a customer? Too bad. In the middle of a huge rush at the paint desk with no backup that actually knows how to work the paint machines in the store? Too bad. Driving a forklift? Too bad.
The policy goes into effect in a week. People are already crossing out “customer service” and “employee support” (or whatever that one is) on the little values wheel on their aprons. There’s talk of a work to rule strike.
Anywho. Prepare for some chaos at your local Home Depot and be patient with the workers going forward. We’re not happy about it either.
Seeing people shoot raptors in other countries is fucking wild to me because we have a whole system of super strict laws governing how you can handle an individual FEATHER off of an eagle, and it doesnāt have to even be a dead eagle. One can molt and you can find it on the ground and if youāre caught with it the warden will fuck your entire life. What do you mean people are out there shooting them to protect a fucking pheasant. A pheasant??? That thing I have to avoid running over approximately 459 times any time I leave a major highway???
My good friend @prismaticate has asked a very good question here, and while Iām not entirely sure Iām qualified to explain it and would love some input from more qualified sources, my SUPER simplified understanding of why the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and its numerous modern revisions and addendums have clauses about this included is this:
-Itās basically impossible to tell a feather thatās been picked up off the ground from one thatās been taken from a poached bird
-This used to be a MAJOR problem when bird-feather hats and the like were in high demand back in the day, because several bird species on the edge of extinction kept getting poached in spite of the new laws protecting them since people would just say they āfoundā any feathers from protected species used in the stuff they were selling, and you couldnāt prove otherwise unless you literally caught them in the act of poaching
-This eventually got SO bad that they had to just make it illegal to have the feathers at all, with certain exceptions made for members of different indigenous groups, or authorized organizations that display them as part of efforts to educate the public about the species they belong to
@zooophagous is this a reasonable rundown? Was there anything I missed/any better sources you might recommend to learn more about this? I know itās probably far more nuanced than that, but this was kind of the explanation Iād always seen floating around. š
Thatās pretty much the gist of it! Eagles and eagle feathers have more laws on top of that because of their sacred uses in certain indigenous practices, how they relate to legal falconry, and because eagles at one time were highly endangered while at the same time being a national symbol. Where a cop or a game warden may shrug and look the other way if you, say, illegally picked up a chickadee feather from your bird feeder, if they see a real eagle feather they will notice and will be VERY interested in where it came from.
Not long ago here someone was arrested and charged for violating these laws because they tried to sell a plains feather bonnet at a pawn shop, claiming they had āfound it while exploring an abandoned house.ā
The clerk suspected it was real eagle, the warden confirmed it was, and because those feathers are so tightly tracked they were able to locate the family of the previous owners who said the item had been stolen some time ago.
If nobody knows you have it, obviously you can get away with it. But if they see it, or God forbid you try to SELL it, the hammer will fall.
Im surprised every time people think itās a crazy sounding law, it is genuinely one of the only things preventing a lot of native birds from extinction or any asshole could kill as many as they want and just say they found them on the ground
Hey donāt cry. .one half pounds of asparagus, placed on a baking sheet, drizzled with olive oil, and then add a third of a bulb of garlic finely chopped, paprika, salt, pepper, lemon juice, fresh rosemary, toss and broil in the oven OK?
Okay but jokes aside I got a little emotional seeing some of the responses to this silly little post where I made my favorite way to cook asparagus (and green beans!) into a joke. Thereās no big meaningful philosophical statement for you here there really is just āIf you are sad I would cook delicious food for you and I hope it would helpā. The original joke of absurdism has just turned into a statement where the punchline is that someone loves you deeply and wants you to eat well, and we share that like any joke in the hopes that it makes others happier if only for a few moments. Anyway, all that said and done, I love you, I love you and I hope we both eat well
[ID: Tumblr tags by @whispersosoftly: #donāt cry! #if nightshades are a concern #its okay to take a bit of broccoli onto a well oiled baking sheet with cumin and salt and paprika #a little turmeric if you feel up for it #black pepper too! #just until the little flowers start to crisp ily it will be ok. end ID.]
Babe, ever since I met you, your power level has been over 9000. With you, I know the cake won’t be a lie. Together we can rule the galaxy, and all their base will belong to us. I can haz marriage?
OP I am going to break into your house and unleash a horde of locusts in your closet if you don’t stop
wouldn’t even notice with the type of shit i got goin on
Catching an ‘M with a Hexadecimal identifier of 00 will leave behind an invisible but otherwise Completely Normal Ditto with its previous moveset at level 0 or 80 that needs to be caught or defeated before the battle can properly end. These games have been out for twenty years and we still don’t know why this happens.
