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 trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?
Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten.
REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit
my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies
Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs.
So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly – not spazz themselves into miscarrying.
So what’d they do? They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs!
The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!
okay so garrus is awkward af when the relationship first starts, and again when he isn’t sure if it’s still a thing after 6 months apart. he stumbles over his words, he is unsure of himself.
but let’s not forget that this is the same man who sings his own praises after every kill shot. who has that swagger when he is in his element. who can toss banter with ease.
in me3 once the relationship is reestablished he is smooth as fuck.
I was actually kinda close to accidentally changing my name to my spouse’s dead name months before meeting them, which I’m pretty sure we all recognize as a plot of one of the best Transsexual Seinfeld episodes
George: We were hitting it off, and then she tells me her name. *pause* Jerry: Well? What was it? George: It was my dead name, Jerry! Jerry: What are the chances? George: What are the chances, Jerry?!?!
In an awesome display of support dozens of gaming companies are coming forth with support and job opportunities for the now unemployed workers from telltale. These are just 10 of dozens of companies on twitter with these sentiments. It’s times like these where I love being a gamer and in the gaming community. Blizzard, naughty dog, Ubisoft, zenimax and countless others are showing the support that these workers deserve and need and it is truly classy!!!
antipathy for real people in favor of fictional characters is nothing new but telltale laying off 250 employees and cancelling the last of the walking dead games sure did bring it to the forefront
like this is how fucking bad it is but sure you wont get your $60 game about people shouting and being unpleasant at each other near some zombies and thats the real heartbreak
