Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a movie first and foremost about the destruction of minority neighborhoods and public transit by the American car industry. After that, it's a technological milestone. And then it's about cartoons
@cornfieldsrambles Your analysis is 100% correct and your Jessica Rabbit emotions are profoundly valid!
forever grateful i was simply too lazy to let the makeup industrial complex get its hooks in me. I was just like im not doing all of that. in fact. im doing none of that
yeah I have political reasons for it now but my original and still most powerful reason is "I am not getting out of this bed one single second before I have to"
thinking about that time my mom ordered a bottle of vitamins online and they arrived with the tamper seal broken and she was going to just take them anyway and in desperation i had to bust out the “you know they never solved the chicago tylenol murders” to get her to mail them back
We used to have goth girls in every animated show. They wouldn't let you make a cartoon from 90-00s without at least one goth chick.
Ideal work schedule:
I show up and am given a list of cognitively engaging but achievable tasks
I complete the list
I leave immedietly
Yeah this can't be left in the notes
please stop writing "viscous" when you mean "vicious", it produces the weirdest mental images ever
"a viscous murder" yeah i don't want to know what that could look like
it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919
#and vice versa btw#i don’t know what a vicious fluid would be like#and i don’t want to find out
it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919

Well!
Do you know the history of Juneteenth?
Kinda? I know it's for Black Americans but not why
No
Yes
I plead 'Not American'
So first, let's clear a common misconception: no, President Abraham Lincoln did not love Black people nor see them as human equals. At best he was centrist about it (though, even his implication that 'exceptional' Black men ought to vote got him assassinated).
"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do, it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union...I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free."
The "freeing of slaves" after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 was meant to kneecap the economic and military powers of the seceded South. Lettuce stop making a white savior figure out of Lincoln, or thinking that my people's shackles were unchained via anything other than desperate war strategy and extreme violence. Think on that, for a moment.
That being said!
Juneteenth is a time to gather as a family, reflect on the past and look to the future. Discover ways to celebrate this African American cul
But not everyone in Confederate territory would immediately be free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.
Consider going through the Smithsonian website to learn about Juneteenth! Recognize why it's an actual day of freedom, versus July 4th and the independence of a select few.
Happy Juneteenth, from WWC. Celebrate with joy.
This is a great post. Juneteenth is so important to recognize.
As a kid, I remember going to large celebrations for Juneteenth full of fellow Black folks. There was heaps of BBQ, lively music and local market goods. I didn't fully understand or appreciate it then. It also wasn't taught or mentioned at school either. I'm glad a light is now being shone on this important day.
Juneteenth (June 19): basic definition
"It celebrates the emancipation of enslaved [Black] people in the US. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, enslaved people were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation."
-Oxford Dictionary
Juneteenth marks the last of the enslaved Black American people being told they were free. This happened on June 19, 1865 in Galveston, Texas.
This day is a powerful symbol of deferred justice. Justice, respect and the right to live in peace and love that we're very much still fighting for.
I encourage all Black people to celebrate this day in whichever way that looks like. Do something that makes you happy. And by "doing something" that could very well just be relaxing (as is my plan for today; after writing this, I'll be escaping into a book!).
Black joy and rest is important. Both are acts of resistance.
All can celebrate this day, today and well beyond, by supporting Black people in your daily lives.
In the stories you as writers, write (Include us as nuanced main characters! Give us our moments, love, happy endings!)
In the authors you read and recommend.
The artists, musicians, creators and makers you support.
The people, places and causes you put your time, voice and money towards.
It all makes a difference and is seen.
Happy Juneteenth.
Love to you all, from the WritingWithColor team and me

in an interesting case of linguistic convergent evolution, the english words scale, scale, and scale are all false cognates of each other
scale as in „to climb“ comes from the latin scala, for ladder.
scale as in the measuring device comes from the old norse skal, for a drinking vessel sometimes used as a weighing device
scale as in the dermal plating on the skin of some fish and reptiles comes from the old french escale, for shell or husk.
Three languages enter, one language leaves.

israel has gotten away with so much with american and uk support. The deafening silence fron our politicians should now be considered as directly aiding this genocide. The vile complicity should be held against them.

Look, rather than being petty and destroying it, why not talk to the girl. Really ask them why they are using the confederate flag. But no, low level terrorism is the answer.
LOW LEVEL TERRORISM?

Tumblr is super big on the "I didn't say it was good, I said I liked it" but really need to discover the value in its opposite of "I didn't say it was bad, I said I hated it".
You can acknowledge that something is good, great, a masterpiece even, and just straight-up not enjoy it.
