The LEGO Movie was my favorite movie of 2014, but it strikes me that the main character was male, because I feel like in our current culture, he HAD to be. The whole point of Emmett is that he’s the most boring average person in the world. It’s impossible to imagine a female character playing that role, because according to our pop culture, if she’s female she’s already SOMEthing, because she’s not male. The baseline is male. The average person is male.

You can see this all over but it’s weirdly prevalent in children’s entertainment. Why are almost all of the muppets dudes, except for Miss Piggy, who’s a parody of femininity? Why do all of the Despicable Me minions, genderless blobs, have boy names? I love the story (which I read on Wikipedia) that when the director of The Brave Little Toaster cast a woman to play the toaster, one of the guys on the crew was so mad he stormed out of the room. Because he thought the toaster was a man. A TOASTER. The character is a toaster.

I try to think about that when writing new characters— is there anything inherently gendered about what this character is doing? Or is it a toaster?

Bojack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg commenting on how weird gendered defaults in entertainment are, and why we should think twice about them. Excerpted from this longer original post.

those who were criticizing us all the time. please try and defend this saudi weapons deal. please explain to me how lying about and then approving weapons sales to people who are going to use them to commit human rights violations is a progressive act. please keep telling us that we need to give trudeau a chance. 

tell me how this deal or these actions are justifiable

I apologize for the humungo post, I wanted all the images together in a master post instead of separate installments.

Remember the Jedi Knight Japanese Dictionary I posted about, with the artists Chifuyu Sasaki and Naoko Kawano? Well, @ciette on tumblr actually purchased the book (so lucky!) and was so kind in letting me see the inside by scanning all the A/P images. I haven’t gotten the book myself yet (I will someday, hopefully) but getting these scans was a major relief as I’m not all over the place wondering what I was missing out on. To top it off, it was right near my birthday; such a great gift! I wanted to post these one the 16th but circumstances made it too difficult. I’m just happy all over. I did my best; ran them through lots of filters, and with some personal touches, I think I just about re-created the look as they are in the book.

For more inside, check out ciette’s post as she also shares images from the Padawan Learners Dictionary. :D

Lots of Love.

I think when starting out the thing anybody needs to focus on is the building of an idiom, of a craft, of discipline. The tautological version of it is ‘write every day’ but that’s a tautology; the act of doing the thing is a thing you do every day whether you physically put words down or not. Build your idiom, learn your craft. that’s where you start. Literally no one has to read a word of it, that’s not what ‘write every day’ means; it’s about you. Your notebook is a sketchbook not a novel; your notebook is a gym not an arena.

Like a physical endeavor where an athlete has to train their way up and then maintain a kind of baseline, if you’re starting, you start, and you don’t stop without having to starting a few paces back when you start up again. It’s a war of inches and a pit dug by teaspoons and you start by starting.

positivity is cool and all but repressing negative feelings is toxic to yr mind and body. dont feel guilt for having an array of emotions. its corny to fake positivity when it isnt sincere, feeling stuff even bad stuff is nothing to be guilty over. its okay to feel bad sometimes

Me.

Rescued baby bats wrapped in blankets because bats wrap their pups in wings and the blankets emulate this, making the pups feel secure.
