As California is being ravaged by deadly fires, let’s remember that over a third of California’s firefighters are incarcerated.
They’re out there now risking their lives, making 1% or less of nonincarcerated firefighters’ salaries, and then they can’t even serve as firefighters when they get out because of their past convictions.
With its striking colour, small size and hairy edge it is no surprise that this fungus has the cute name; Eyelash button (Scutellinia colensoi). It is a cup fungus. While walking the dogs on Friday at my usual fungus fossicking forest these small dots of orange caught my attention. No bigger than a few millimetres across, under thick low growing ferns, and developing on rotten wood it was completely by chance that I saw them. I have spent so much time looking for mushrooms and other fungi over last autumn and winter that it has become a habit to keep an eye out. But even then, spotting these specimens was a stretch. I came back today with my camera and macro lens in hand and tried my hand at focus stacking. This photo is made up of 14 frames stacked to bring as much detail out as possible.

Me to american animation: I know your stories are great buy why does your animation suck so bad?
American animation: We have to create simplified characters to make the movement faster and more creative and interesting.
Me glancing at Japan:
Me: k.
Hey you know what studios do in America? Due to animators unionizing, instead of paying all the animators proper wage they started sending animation to be done over seas to lower labor costs. Now most studios’ animation are shipped to Korea and China and etc., which means the designs for the characters have to be simplified for easy character animation. Not to mention the history of American animation overall and how the American cartoon style has led towards more simplified styles over the years.
Also animation in Japan, while it does have plenty sakuga stuff, are actually just budget dumps for the best fight scenes. During normal scenes, characters can be very static and has a lot of holds. There’s also the mouth-flapping thing that a lot of animators in America detest. Everything is revolved around budgets for both countries. For America, to pay animators working wages they decided to cut costs and ship labor overseas. For Japan it means terrible working hours and labor, where plenty of animators have fallen ill or even die in their own cubicles.
So watch your fucking language and learn animation history. People like you are the reason why a lot of studios are cutting costs on their workers in America.
“why is your animation so bad?” *posts gif of good animation*
