It's the Bonclave (bird conclave) today in my backyard, to elect the Bope (bird pope). The cardinals are deep in discussion.

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

[rabbitscreams]

female characters are always lighter than male characters. strong characters are almost always dark. aggressive characters are almost always dark. peaceful and intelligent characters are almost always light. even amongst darker characters the lightest one is usually either the leader or the girls. dark is evil and light is good.

if you try to explain this to a white person they look at you like youre insane

[gay-milton-quotes]

briefly pursuing a career in animation radicalized me on this. So many stories from the industry about how you have to start with your character design as dark as possible, because INEVITABLY you'll get "notes" from higher-ups asking you to make them lighter.

In a class about making a pitch bible my teacher once role-played as a shitty executive with a classmate, pressing them in intentionally abrasive ways about why they made their characters diverse. He emphasized that we had to learn to defend these things, because the racism in the industry is extremely deliberate.

Ronald Wimberly's comic essay, Lighten Up, stays evergreen

45 years ago, the future looked like this: Ford Bronco Montana Lobo, 1980. A radical prototype truck based on a 1977 Bronco chassis. The concept was a collaboration between Ford's design centre in Dearborn and the Ghia Design Studios in Italy. It showcased futuristic styling and advanced features such as digital instrumentation and tinted Plexiglas doors. The louvered "flying buttress" design had side-facing benches in the rear bed with storage underneath.
