AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER

It isn’t one of those shows where your adult rewatch makes you wonder wtf kind of brain rot you were entertained by as a kid (cue camp rock) —- it somehow only gets more profound the older you get. such an insane portrait of the bitterness of war & the extent to which the atrocities of war, tragically, hinge on the petty temperaments of individual actors…… something to bite on…. I know nothing about animation but it stays so sick — gonna peace out from a classic Uncle Iroh quote — “In the darkest of times, hope is something you give yourself” Reccing cuz im so grateful for ATLA icl

adventure time

There are SO many great series out here these days, and this isn’t anything new or groundbreaking, but I’ve been watching Adventure Time since I was a little kid- I have watched it in full dozens of times at least. I’m amazed every viewing at how I am able to understand new profound themes along with new levels of silliness. The creator is basically a genius and I think it’s one of the most beautiful and underrated cartoons everrrrr

Using the word “gauche” instead of “cringe”

it’s so them-coded

How to do nothing by Jenny Odell

a treatise on the attention economy - checked it out on libby and got through it over the course of a work day, a lot of really interesting social and cultural explorations about how time itself is the final frontier of hypercapitalism and what decommodification of our attention and time should look like the book starts with a story about the oldest redwood tree in oakland and how the only reason it’s still standing is bc it’s unmillable, and how being uncommercializable is essential to our survival. it ends with an exploration of alt social media platforms (mostly p2p ones) and what keeping the good parts of the social internet and rejecting the bad ones should look like all in all a super valuable read; my only nitpick with the book is that odell isn’t just charting the attention economy but also attempting to “solve” it and relate it back to broader concepts about labor and social organizing, but her background is in the arts which leads to some really wonderful references to drive the points home while also missing some critical racial + socioeconomic analyses that one would expect (or at least really appreciate) from the book she promises to deliver in the introduction. but this does also make the book easier to read which is good because everyone should definitely engage with what she has to say will definitely be revisiting
