“Hair on this movie was one of the biggest challenges, but also the most fun. Considering many of the main characters in this movie are human, or are demigods who frequently resemble humans, there’s a lot of hair to animate. Moana herself is unlike a lot of other Disney characters. Like Mulan, she’s often messing with her hair, sometimes wearing it in a bun and sometimes allowing it to get drenched or blow in the wind. That’s a lot of different types of hair to animate, too, making the process even more challenging.”
— CARLOS CABRAL,head of technical animation for MOANA(2016)
“Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.”
A Non-Comprehensive List of Birds That Piss Me Off
1. Dracula Parrot. This thing pisses me off like, a bunch
2.
King Vulture. the felted craft project equivalent of a haunted ventriloquist dummy
i will never not resent this bird
3. Jacana Bird. This is the most unnecessary cursed nonsense. i deserve an apology for having to look at this. I can feel its fingers stroking my ears
No it does not have SIX FREAKING LIMBS. it’s carrying its stupid creepy spawn under its wings. A+ parents but still, piss off. even the normal 2 legged version isn’t much better
put those AWAY.
4. The Shoebill, which i’m sure we’re all sick of hearing about. this thing is the epitome of a crappy photorealistic cgi disney villainy. i despise this bird.
also this is what they look like standing up. i just feel like i shouldn’t have to deal with that, i really do.
5. Inca Tern. truly, hipsters ruin everything
6. Tragopan. it looks like a star wars species, which i dislike on principle
7. The Secretary Bird. it wears yoga pants.
also i’m uncomfortable with the length of its eyelashes
8. finally, i really dislike this one specific parakeet
in conclusion, these birds exist to haunt me and this knowledge is a burden. birds exist to observe our sin; always watching, they are filled with malice. flee from them
updates on minneapolis from a minneapolis resident:
we have a curfew now (8:00 PM until 6:00 AM)
our governor called in the national guard
one of the police officers (Derek Chauvi) involved in George Floyd’s murder has been arrested
the DA said that they were so slow in the arrest of Derek Chauvi because they were worried the “charges wouldn’t stick” without as much evidence as they could gather. the head of the union for police officers here in Minnesota is a known white supremacist, as well as other known officials in higher places, so you do the math here.
the media is continuing to make protestors look like the villains, to the point where my mom called me in hysterical tears asking if we’re okay because “riots are spreading to all suburbs of Minneapolis”. this isn’t true. I live in a suburb that’s a mere 5 minute drive from downtown Minneapolis, and no property damage has occurred here apart from the random graffiti being drawn on bus stops.
we’re fine. protestors are not fine, however. tear gas and rubber bullets are getting shot into the crowd, injuring protestors, and my friend who was at the protests yesterday and today said that medics are refusing to offer medical assistance to anyone in the crowd
there’s suspicion that a lot of the white rioters are white supremacists and certain cops that are trying to vilify the protestors and delegitimize the protestors, and the whole situation in general
this is NOT an exhaustive list of what’s going on in Minneapolis, but it’s what I’m hearing is happening directly from people on the ground protesting.
a CNN reporter was arrested for “not leaving the premise” when given very confusing instructions on what the police wanted him to do. this reporter is black. a white reporter, mere feet away and in the premises of what the police wanted evacuated, was not arrested.
There has been a lady inside my brain screaming for the past 10 yrs and u think taking a bath and doing yoga will stop her? U are wrong. She is a very mad lady and she will not be silenced

A distinction for anyone who is young and hasn’t figured this out yet:
You are allowed to have whatever emotions you want. No one can control your emotions. Emotions are healthy responses to things.
You are not allowed to have behaviors that are harmful just because you have certain emotions. Your behaviors are what you can control, and they are far easier to control than your emotions.
You can be jealous about someone or their talents until you turn green, but it is harmful to yourself and to that person if you try to sabotage them because of it. You can be so angry you can literally feel your temperature rise, but this does not give you permission to rage at others.
Your emotions are valid. They are always valid. You are a person of value. However, you behaviors are not always justified just because of those emotions. You may not be able to control you emotions, but you can certainly control your behaviors.
