Mostly because it wasn't really a conversation, and I don't think it warrants thinking too hard about (I did post receipts on instagram if you wanted to see parts of it though)

I should have thought to do this sooner because just knowing professional wrestling terms has helped me find the exact poses I need a lot faster. I just didn't even think to look into stuntmen lingo...

you have any idea how long it takes to find any reliably good references for that particular pose only to find out it has a stuntman term, and upon looking that up I found exactly what I was looking for. I just unearthed an entire rabbit hole to go down now.

Just found out the pose for when someone trips and falls and their legs curl up over them is in fact called a scorpion fall so I finally have a term I can use to look this up oh my god

Federal Reserve Board - Proposal Details The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington DC.

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)

Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money

The whole point of defending the right for uncomfortable, or even reprehensible fiction to have the right to exist isnt that its all cool and nothing is ever wrong with it

Its that government/corpo organizations will NEVER look at things with the """nuance""" you think is so self evident
