I love watching behind the scenes footage of him voice acting because he's always so into his voice work as much as he is into his live-action work and it makes me so happy. Warms my damn heart. 😊

#he's a true actor #and he made a perfect transition into voice acting #he's so good at it #and you can tell he actually cares #unlike a lot of celebrity voice actors #and i appreciate it so much #professor knight #monsters university #behind the scenes #animated alfredo #alfred molina #videos

Hey! I saw your post about trying to get Mariner games! Depending on where your at, am/fm radio might be able to pick up games. Also, MLB TV has the free game if the day on mlb.tv as well. Sometimes those games are broadcast on youtube.

For other streaming, Apple TV has Friday Night Baseball, and always has 2 games.

Idk if any of that helps, but just wanted to share in case.

Apple TV! I think we still have our subscription. I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the tip!

I'll have to go back to the MLB TV app. I thought I'd checked it out and it required an expensive subscription, but maybe I read it wrong.

I really appreciate everyone's help! We signed up for the MLB app where we can listen to archived games, and as I was driving up to Mom's yesterday, I was listening to the game where the Mariners made the playoffs last year. We're (still) dealing with Dad's estate paperwork and it was a sad but good thing to have on in the background.

#everyone is amazing #you're all so good to me #and I appreciate it so much

"if i could choose one thing for you that you could watch again like it's your first time watching it, i'd choose jeff satur songs" << my friend after a long and winded conversation about how sad it is that we can never see the things we love for the first time again

#she didn't pick a movie OR a series #no #she just went #this bastard is obsessed with jeff satur #i'm gonna give them the ability to listen to jeff satur again like it's their first time #and i appreciate it so much #much better than rewatching anything for the first time tbh #bless her heart #she's still threatening to buy me a jeff satur body pillow for my birthday and i'm LOSING my mind #tea's ramblings

sometimes you just gotta break out your own power tools and do something tangible and the world feels a tiny bit more manageable.

#okay power tool singular #i own one [1] cordless drill #but i just anchored two of our bookshelves to the walls yesterday and am angling to do another two today #this is part of the great horrible game of Rush Hour that is 'getting our apartment to the way we imagine it' #by we i mean i #since i have The Vision #i drew out the plans and my husband is on board 100% he just doesn't do that sort of visualising stuff ya see #but he's hauled boxes of books and horrible shelves from one room to the next for several hours already and we'll have to do it again #and i appreciate it so much #i finally have all the pieces to do ... almost all the shelves #i forgot one important piece that might require a field trip to our friends' basement #because one of the shelves will be sort-of-wall-mounted atop another shelf #and i don't want to overload the foundation shelf so i need to put reinforcing bars into the upper one #... and then drill THOSE into the wall. #and THEN i need to get some lumber and cut it down to size to set on the shelf arms i bought so we can have wall shelves #specifically in the gap forced by the air vent in the floor #don't wanna ruin household circulation #don't wanna lose precious wall space

Hi pastel! Glad you share your story altho i don't really know how to react since i'm new in this fandom and we had a little conversation and collab in server, i miss your presence and ngl i feel sad whenever there's longer people in server suddenly out. Me and other who collaborate with you before in switch drawing are suprised with your sudden left i just hope you well and won't stop your hobby and yeah i really understand with that burnout after work rn -Keep up the good work! 💕💕

hi anon!! this is so super sweet <3

i very much appreciate all the asks! i see them and love you guys so much!! i probably won’t be answering many more because i want it done BUT i wanted to ask about the switch drawings!!

were any of them ever completed? they were super fun and i tried to send my pieces to anyone involved in them that could share them with the groups, but i’ve no idea if any of them got finished ;-;-;-; they were all turning out so amazing!!

you definitely don’t have to answer if you’re not comfy!! i’m just curious :))

#ask #discourse #sorry if you sent an ask and i haven’t answered it #just know i’ve seen it #and i appreciate it so much #<3

Oh…. Well, it’s over for Crunchyroll I guess

#Crunchyroll #piracy #funimation #money hungry ass streaming service #rambling #I’ve never paid for a streaming service in my life thank god #I appreciated using others accounts but I personally cannot see myself paying this much for a service if I had the funds 😭! #get back to pirating kings!!! #anime has always been one of the easiest forms of media to pirate anyway so y’all got this #CR is definitely not worth paying for though #CR is certainly not worth paying this much for even if it’s a yearly one time fee #capitalism #the fact that CR has always had pretty bad quality as a streaming service anyway #it buffers every time you pause or rewind anything

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

#unforth rambles #this wasn't really prompted by anything #I'm just sick and tired and distractable #or i should say it wasn't prompted by anything recent or that happened now #like no one has disrespected me #but as i hit the point that it's regularly taking me an hour plus every single day to queue things for the danmei art blogs #i just think of all the times people go WAIT YOU RUN ALL OF THOSE??? BY YOURSELF??? #like i just don't think a lot of people realize how much work it is to really do background fandom labor long term #and i appreciate places like rec blogs and networks and events and just everyone #y'all are awesome #thank you so much

god I'm so fucking furious at the removal of Te Reo Māori names from organisations around Aotearoa. it's a complete non-issue, every organisation has the English name directly underneath the Māori name. I have never once as an English speaker been unable to understand what an organisation is for. Winston Peters, the Deputy Prime Minister, who is literally Māori himself, said “Te Papa is a historic name but tell me this waka kotahi, how many boats have you seen going down the road?”. Waka does not just mean canoe. it means vessel, and waka kotahi (the transport agency of Aotearoa) explains this VERY SIMPLY on their official website. waka kotahi means to travel together as one. Can you see how fucking upsetting this is. A Māori person in power who is in agreement about banning his own language, being so cocky about something that he does not even understand due to the suppression of the language of his people. It makes me sick. I've seen reports from Māori people all over Aotearoa speaking out about how upset and furious they are, how decades of progress have been undone in the fight to restore the rights of their people who have for so long been oppressed and have suffered the effects of colonisation. Please share this if you can, I hate knowing how few people will hear about this, I know there is so much injustice in the world right now and it is so exhausting, I know. I love you all, keep it up.
