  1. S4E5b - “Down by the River”

    per IMDB:“[Star’s parents] are living happily in the woods doing nothing, after a new family comes near them after they were kicked out of their home by monsters.”

    Per me: “refugees displaced by manifestly-just-but-hastily-implemented Right of Return / reparation policies start the semi-woke Lib centre-right’s gradual slide towards embracing reactionary violence
    —spurred less by bonafide concern for the collateral major harms to the settler working class than by the way this in turn create lesser discomforts, fear, and opportunity for the middle+upper class”

  3. ≥2nd rewatch, I remain ~awed by Disney channel cartoon Star vs the Forces of Evil [2012–19;4 seasons = 77ep × 22min, most split into two 11m segments]’s pivot

    from “Kick-ass :3/XD-Magical Girl Fish-out-of-Water Slice-of-Life antics” S1

    into “Settler Colonialism of Past is an Ongoing, Violent Evil, & Inseparable from Our ‘Good’ Institutions [the titular protagonists & her closest allies]“ as central driver of serialized plot from midpoint to end

    IMDB: imdb.com/title/tt2758770/

    it gets there more smoothly than you’d think, and once there, spends some time on all of at least:
    - the ways in which prejudice is taught as intrinsic, is reinforced by lack of exposure to the vilified
    - settler and indigenous population’s dehumanization of one another
    - the capriciousness of caste boundaries (for the bourgeois in comparison to the proletariat; and where “passing” is concerned)
    - the leveraging of biased history & science into material harms, as well as martial violence
    - key roles some technology plays in both enabling & entrenching (normalizing) outrageous cruelty

    …I mean … it’s still a children’s (TV-Y7) cartoon, and it’s far from perfect and it rushes to a half-baked less than satisfying conclusion. But i would still recommend if you are into the hopepunk-ish cartoon thing . It’s On Disney+ & Hulu, inter alia

    Weave the fabric,
    Join the stone,

  7. Have I raved about the show Star vs the Forces of Evil lately? Such a fun and clever show. It confronts racism head-on, quietly includes queerness, plays with gender expression, blasts colonialism, and it's just friggin' funny.

    I watched this show shortly after my egg cracked in 2019 and seeing Marco seamlessly switch in and out of his princess alter-ego and how proud his parents are of him really, really helped me.

    It's one of my comfort shows.

  9. Went to check the Sugarcube Animation’s building today and it seems their address is bogus because the building got destroyed and replaced. Or maybe it’s their new building?

    I didn’t expect anything anyway since it’s a production company with a shitload of NDAs on their back, not an amusement park.

    Anyway the area is cool.

  11. Some random Jantom fluff … a mashup with Kiki’s Delivery Service. I tried drawing Tombo’s nerdy glasses on Tom, but it didn’t look very good so I hit Undo.

  12. Ludo sounds so weird in the early Star episodes #SvtFoE
