Some guy decided to drive to Kenosha with his militia buddies to “protect a business,” and apparently ended up shooting three people and killing two. But don’t worry—the business is okay. And let me tell you something: No one drives into a city with guns because they love someone else’s business that much. That’s some bullshit. No one has ever thought, “Oh, it’s my solemn duty to pick up a rifle and protect that T.J.Maxx.” They do it because they’re hoping to shoot someone. That’s the only reason people like him join these gangs in the first place. And yes, I said it: a gang. Enough with this “militia” bullshit. This isn’t the Battle of Yorktown. It’s a bunch of dudes threatening people with guns. And while what happened with those shootings last night is tragic, what happened afterwards is illuminating. Because it made me wonder, it really made me wonder why some people get shot seven times in the back while other people are treated like human beings and reasoned with and taken into custody with no bullets in their bodies. How come Jacob Blake was seen as a deadly threat for a theoretical gun that he might have and might try to commit a crime with, but this gunman who was armed and had already shot people, who had shown that he is a threat, was arrested the next day, given full due process of the law, and generally treated like a human being whose life matters? How did Dylann Roof shoot up a church, James Holmes shoot up a movie theater and both live to tell about it? Why is it that the police decide that some threats must be extinguished immediately while other threats get the privilege of being defused? I’m asking these as questions, but I feel like we know the answer. The answer is that the gun doesn’t matter as much as who is holding the gun. Because for some people, Black skin is the most threatening weapon of all.

So some 20 odd years ago, I worked at a well known hotel in downtown Denver. We had an ancient photocopier that would constantly break, jam, get possessed by office demons, etc, and one of the guys in the accounting department had a set of what he called “cow tools” that he used for fixing it. I never knew what he was referring to until today.

Eartha Kitt’s performance as Yzma…the music…the comedy…the Kronk. It is a perfect film

sandersstudies

Additional reasons:

Every single character is a PoC

First Disney animated film to show a pregnant woman onscreen

Real relationship goals: Pacha and ChiCha

Really diverse body types on everybody!

Classic tropes and classic tropes subverted (enemies to friends, anyone?)

Kronk

Diverse body type: Llama

Also Kuzko’s character arc is nice to see, instead of ‘be yourself’ it’s like ‘hey, don’t be an asshole’ and he actually learns it

Also r*mance wasn’t at the center of the story, growth was, and that was really refreshing

dammitradar

Also the STYLE:

the random cliffs and ledges and peaks and plummets.

the weird-ass, completely inefficient architecture that served no real functional purpose other than to be big and grand and showy.

that fucking 90 foot throne

the fact that Yzma was lounging on a ledge next to a bottomless chasm somewhere in the middle of the palace

the COLORS oh my god enough of this desaturated, gritty, hyper-realistic bullshit i wanna see GAUDY DECADENCE for the sake of DECADENCE again

Yzma is literally purple and looks like a skeleton and yet somehow no one is bothered by it and she somehow looks fabulous

The Universe is expanding.
