new bill in my state mandating that public teachers “may” provide instruction on positive impacts of religion on american history, which is pointless on its face. teachers can already do that. seems designed to elevate a “positive” telling of history and frame it as neutral. yell at these idiots

for anyone interested in Frank's book, here's an intro from my notes. it's actually an edited version of a manuscript that she left unfinished at the time of her (tragically early) death

some see this as claiming that sexism motivated the elimination of inkers. to be clear, sexism wasn’t the driving factor, but the gendered construction of creative/uncreative labor had the effect of making women’s jobs more expendable than men’s. it’s not conspiratorial to call the firing sexist
the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you

If memory serves, making Sleeping Beauty, with every scrap of trad anim talent, nearly bankrupted the company cos audiences were bored of the safe fairytales. The pivot to this style both saved money (with the unfortunately concequances listed) and also was a move to modernise for audiences.

i'm sick, and i can't mix cold meds with my tremor meds, so no inking for a little while. here are some pics from my reference folder as consolation, three different "views of rome," all oddly satisfying in their own way

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

Nice to see one of "us" sneak into the halls of power.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.
