That relatable (older) Gen Z memory: when all the projectors and white boards got replaced by Smart Boards™ around like fifth grade and none of the teachers knew how to use them but they Had To Use them otherwise the school just wasted a bunch of money and it was a rlly weird transition

not to get into handwriting discourse here but im sick of people who write short fat letters all the same size getting all the attention for having “pretty handwriting” when my illegible loopy scrawl is just as good.  romanticize shitty halfway cursive again!!!!!

if i cant read it, its valid

illegibly loopy handwriting has 10 times the Aesthetic value of stumpy even writing. can you imagine a Byronic hero/heroine writing in that kinda print? can you imagine your fave mad poet writing in a perfectly even size? exactly. the truth is that shitty half cursive has always been the peak of style and romance and it’s only the totalitarian nature of the education system that prizes evenness over a scrawled out grace. in this essay I will argue that education killed romance

“sloppy” handwriting is usually the result of thinking faster than you can write. Training the sloppiness out of someone results in them having to slow down their thoughts. Faster thoughts are more useful than perfect handwriting

Look at this! Look at this fucking thing! This was done in 1986, and used absolutely no CGI whatsoever. It was ALL practical, and ALL done through puppetry. Look at the last gif. Over a dozen vines are moving at once along with its head, lips, and tongue! In interviews Rick Moranis has stated he often forgot he was working with a puppet, as opposed to a really ugly guy. Even today it looks so real. Audrey ii is nothing short of miraculous

IM SORRY WHAT
