“We knew that we had to create something that didn’t rely on men making judgment calls on women’s stories, because it was clear that system was failing all of us. We decided on a color-coded system in which different types of customer behavior are categorized as yellow, orange or red. Yellow refers to a creepy vibe or unsavory look. Orange means comments with sexual undertones, such as certain compliments on a worker’s appearance. Red signals overtly sexual comments or touching, or repeated incidents in the orange category after being told the comments were unwelcome. When a staff member has a harassment problem, they report the color — “I have an orange at table five” — and the manager is required to take a specific action. If red is reported, the customer is ejected from the restaurant. Orange means the manager takes over the table. With a yellow, the manager must take over the table if the staff member chooses. In all cases, the manager’s response is automatic, no questions asked. (At the time of our meeting, all our shift managers were men, though their supervisors were women; something else we’ve achieved since then is diversifying each layer of management.) In the years since implementation, customer harassment has ceased to be a problem. Reds are nearly nonexistent, as most sketchy customers seem to be derailed at yellow or orange. We found that most customers test the waters before escalating and that women have a canny sixth sense for unwanted attention. When reds do occur, our employees are empowered to act decisively. The color system is elegant because it prevents women from having to relive damaging stories and relieves managers of having to make difficult judgment calls about situations that might not seem threatening based on their own experiences. The system acknowledges the differences in the ways men and women experience the world, while creating a safe workplace.”
You know no one really ever addressed the elephant in the room in iCarly. How come there’s just an elevator running through the inside of their apartment? like it’s a public elevator and we’ve seen other characters enter and leave the Carly’s apartment through it. It’s just there. does it run through other people’s apartments? what if you go to the wrong floor and you’re suddenly in someone elses house. one wrong button and you get front row seats to some weird kids filming some web show called “i carly” of all goddamned things. Fred Figglehorn is there. like what the fuck
Y'all never seen rich apartments where elevators entered the apt?
Here is an animator you may recognize as a certain horse riding a beach ball from Adventure Time, James Baxter!
James Baxter not only did work at Disney, but also at DreamWorks and later got to voice and animate two episodes of Adventure Time with James Baxter the Horse! Here are many examples of his amazing work and even check out his blog on @jbaxteranimator!
The moment people were like “oh shit water benders”
I really loved this episode though, it was an established theme in the show that firebenders are associated with death and waterbenders are associated with life and healing, and up to this point it all seemed so clear-cut, because fire obviously destroys everything in its path while water can put out fires and heals, as we’ve seen particularly in Katara’s case with her natural healing ability.
Then we meet Hama, who due to years of torture and hatred has found a way to turn the classic gentler waterbending ways into a weapon of destruction and manipulation, and honestly I can’t think of a better way to introduce people to the fact that things are never as clear cut as they seem. We’ve thought of waterbenders as the good guys up until this point, so it’s jarring to find out that no, despite stereotypes and traditions, there are always going to be good and bad people in every culture/group, but that’s the point of the entire show.
It’s revisited later too when Aang and Zuko find the Sun Warriors who teach them firebending is not just about death and destruction, but also about bringing warmth to the earth and making plants grow and both Aang and Zuko needed to hear that they weren’t just instruments of destruction and gain confidence from the idea of using firebending to create life and I love it I love this show so much.
I’ve said this roughly 1,000 times on this blog, but I think this show is a masterpiece of narrative. They establish characters and cultures that any other show would codify and then turn their own concept on its ear in believeable ways time and time again. Really exceptional.
Drawing of the bab :3 Lol I luv them so much 👌🏼 This wasn’t supposed to have so much,,, stuff, but the whole vapor wave aesthetic has always looked pretty to me and I don’t get very many chances to draw it, so I went for it 😂 ♊️💚 ((APP: ArtStudio))
them: thanos is the most built up villain of all time
me, an intellectual:
Honestly, no one can ever deign to assert that Azula is not the single most iconic female villain in the western animated canon if not the entire global literary canon.
most iconic villain period. the day of black sun? siege of ba sing se? military genius.
