Decided to revisit Keith David’s greatest work (Gargoyles), and just noticed Salli Richardson-Whitfield does the voice of Elisa!

Good job me, for getting marmalade vodka and cardamom ginger gin the last time I was in the UK. Phenomenal looking ahead on my part.

Saw Frankenstein and The Long Walk today. Loved both. Really amazing costume design in both.

I was reading a history of hairdressing recently, and in the chapter on Black hair, the author talked about how slave owners used to give these to Black people because our hair was “woolly.” Note: a card is essentially a wooden paddle stuffed with nails. Incredibly cruel.

Beauty standards are a good example of how most people are highly invested in following fashion, even people who say they’re unique or individual or independent thinkers. And also of how people enforce following and punish deviation through ostracization, mocking, and rejection.

I enjoy the aesthetics of the holiday season. Christmas lights are fun. Gingerbread is fun. Real trees and fake trees are both wonderful in their own way, and I adore fake snow and tinsel and ornaments. Tearing up wrapping paper is exciting, and I like food.

As someone who didn’t grow up celebrating holidays, I feel like an sociologist whenever holiday season rolls around. So many traditions! So much anxiety! So many rules that simply cannot be broken or the holiday is invalidated! And that’s all just normal for most people.

Folks want to mock people for not adhering to beauty standards then complain about the oppression of beauty standards while not recognizing they are part of the problem. When your go-to insult is calling people ugly, of course you’re going to feel pressured to perform beauty.
