Too many times, I've forgotten what film's in my Olympus XA4 because it doesn't have a little window. But NO MORE

The back of an Olympus XA4 film camera, with a strip of cat washing tape on it. "Film Love b/w 200 ISO" is written on the tape to help me remember what is inside

We can learn from our queer elders 🫶🏻

when my masc lesbian aunt died, women just kept coming, screaming, crying, and saying they were her wives. Eventually we just had to start telling them to join the others. They were all devastated to learn about each other. Except for one who came in, kissed her dead mouth and showed us all that they had matching tattoos. She actually won all the mourning wives over and they all agreed she was the wife. It was so weird.

Did not expect more than a few people to see this but yes it really happened, yes it was insane

Engaging read on how the Bugs Bunny cartoon What’s Opera, Doc? was made. “To get the extra work done, Jones and his crew secretly shaved a couple weeks off other, easier films and faked their time cards. It was something they did on occasion.” [animationobsessive.substack.com]

Why ‘What’s Opera, Doc?’ Looks Like That

It’s one of the really famous cartoons. If you’re reading this newsletter, you’ve probably watched it yourself. After almost 70 years, What’s Opera, Doc? endures.

The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released. Modern editions skip that last step in the process. It was a highly developed, overlooked craft, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/disneys-fi...

Two bumper stickers on a silver car. The older, dirtier one says "Please be patient, I am 9 years old" and the newer one underneath says "Quonk if you're Quorny" in the white on orange Quorn font

Trying to teach our stupidest cat (Fennel) to use a microchip feeder. She eats just fine if you place her under the sensor, but as soon as she leaves the room and the lid closes, it's like the food doesn't exist, so she yells at me. Keep trying, baby!

The ADHD conspiracy and the gender critical movement and the Prof Arday story and the crackdown on disability support are all the same story. There is a default ideal human: a cishet non-disabled white male. The further you deviate from that ideal, the more suspect you become.

If I could meet anyone in comics I think it would be Peter Gallagher from the current Heathcliff newspaper comics. They are utterly inscrutable to me. He is a surrealist. I must know his mind

A single comic panel of the comic Heathcliff, Heathcliff the car wanders the dunes looking nauseated and upset, next to him is a sign that says "robot nude beach" a seagull perched on the sign unhelpfully retorts "I tried to warn you". This is without context. I am as lost as you are.
