If you would report an undocumented immigrant to ICE you would have reported me to the Nazis and I don’t fucking trust you
A note:
I live in a state where you “have to” report anyone you suspect of being undocumented (that wonderful hellhole of Arizona). Now in practice this law has fallen far short, thank goodness. But if you live in such a place and they start enforcing it, here is how you get around it:
Assume everyone who doesn’t speak English is visiting.
Never ask about their job, because if they tell you they work here then you know they’re not visiting. You see them a lot for several weeks or months? Hm. Someone in the family must be ill. That’s terribly tough. They always dress in old, ratty laborers’ clothes? I feel you, my dude, I can’t afford new clothes either, and my dad has the fashion sense of an aardvark, so sometimes it’s not even about “affording” them. They say they’ve been here for years? You must have misunderstood. Spanish isn’t your first language, after all. First and last name? It never came up, or you don’t recall–you meet a lot of people.
And then, if you’re asked: no, you haven’t seen anyone residing illegally in the United States. Just people visiting.
Very good very important addition
Essentially, this is the civil society version of a work-to-rule strike.
Don’t do more than is expressly asked of you, and do what you are asked with such an intense attention to protocol that not asking you at all becomes more effective than even bothering.
In this case:
“Have you seen an illegal immigrant?”
“Could you describe an illegal immigrant, officer?”
*officer describes a person who is in the country without appropriate paperwork, or who has crossed the border illegally*
“No, sir, I haven’t seen any illegal immigrant.”
And this is correct. You have NOT seen an illegal immigrant, because you have no way of knowing if Jose Fulano is here legally or not. And since you can’t see his paperwork (or lack thereof), and did not personally see him cross the border illegally, you are only answering precisely the question asked.
hello im making this text post since apparently some of you guys have the same amount of manners as a slab of concrete which is none at all
DONT ADD YOUR WEIRDO COMMENTS ON PEOPLES ART. ESPECIALLY IF ITS OC ART
christ.
and i dont mean things like ‘oh wow i love this’ etc. thats fine and you know the ones i mean. but just in case you were raised in the neolithic let me explain further. If you add comments like the following to art posts that are not your own you probably have a 99% chance of being rude and a bastard:
– “wow this looks like [x] thing” (this looks like this anime/movie, wow this looks like my art haha, wow these characters look like mine/characters from an established series). its common. 1 in 30 people might be flattered, but most of us hate these comparisons. dont.
– “i dont like this/ wow im not a fan but..” okay good for you. scroll along then
– dont add your own fucking oc lore on someone elses post?????
– likewise dont just up and slap a comment that reads “wow this is exactly like my idea i had for my ocs”
– any kind of weird, gross, kinky comment on art that is not meant to be any of those. you know the ones. its not cool, funny, edgy etc. you just look like a creepy rude weirdo
…and if you’re reblogging to a nsfw blog.. dont add a comment that could be taken for one of these. seriously. things like ‘oh i like this‘ or ‘this is nice‘ are fine its cool its cool. just dont be creepy. people are usually really close to their characters and this stuff happening is very discouraging
– if by some reason the art IS horny, be fucking respectful still. if the artist does not want you to comment then dont. if the artists asks you to not even reblog something then dont. its that easy. show the bare minimum of courtesy
– every artist is a person and every person is its own world, if you’re not sure of whats cool to do or say and whats not just ask them oh my god
4th assignment at Sasha Dorogov’s animation school Done in TVPaint.
Main task: we had to choose a famous character from any cartoon and make a complete scene where the character should walk, run and snake. It would be plus if the scene will be looks like a scene from corresponding movie. I decided to choose Chel from “The Road to El Dorado” (DreamWorks)
Honestly she moves so much like Chel. Both myself and my roommate looked at this and our first thought was, “Is this just a scene from the movie?” The motion and the setting fit so well I’m beyond words.
