Live and Love under Patooties' peculiar light
Go, James Baxter, go! 🐴
I’m seeing a lot of comments wondering why James Baxter the horse’s movements are more fluid than everyone else’s. There’s an answer!
He’s based on, voiced by, drawn by, and named after James Baxter the animator. James Baxter is known for his very fluid animation, most famously the ballroom dance from Beauty and the Beast. You know that really smooth sequence in the Gravity Falls theme song where Dipper drops the candle lantern, and then Mable rubs cheeks with Waddles the pig? That’s James Baxter’s work.
With this in mind, rewatch his two Adventure Time episodes. In the first, James Baxter the horse makes people happy with his art (rolling around on a ball), which inspires Finn and Jake to do it, too. But they learn that they can’t just copy his style, they need to find their own thing. In the second episode, James Baxter loses his ball. He deals with the pressure of everyone wanting him to roll around on balls again, but in the end, decides to do something else. Something that make himself happy.
Anyway, these two episodes are great advice for artists, whatever you’re doing. But it’s also funny to know that one of the most legendary living animators is doing a horse voice and shouting his own name in a microphone.

Unpopular opinion but I feel the need to say this as election year draws closer and Democratic candidates are being announced:
in 2020, the ONLY GOAL is getting that orange sludge out of office.
That’s it. That is endgame for 2020. If you stick your head up your ass so far as to think anything is more important than that at this point, get an emergency head-ass-ectomy REAL fucking quick because we CANNOT pull another 2016.
I don’t care if the Dem nominee is someone you hate, if you’ve voted Green Party for 34 years, if your goddamn mother is on the ticket. If mama isn’t the official presidential candidate from the Democratic Party, then you DO NOT VOTE FOR HER.
2020 is about blocking another four years of nightmare hell. 2020 is about caring about other people’s realities over your “conscience” (read: online woke points). It’s about standing up for every person hurt, every person harassed, every person KILLED by the hate this piece of radioactive bile spews from every disgusting orifice.
ESPECIALLY my fellow white people better take this message to fucking heart, because WE are the ones who fucked this up, ESPECIALLY my fellow white women. You are not allowed to “vote your conscience.” You are not allowed to “weigh the options.” You are suddenly a single-issue voter, and that issue is Trump Is Evil. You are voting to evict, voting to BLOCK. If the Democratic candidate is less than ideal, you suck it the fuck up for 2020. This election is not, CANNOT be about idealism, about perfection. It’s about starting to undo four years of damage.
So from the announcement of the nominee until November 3rd, 2020, you better be all fucking in. If you don’t like their stances on certain issues, if they’re not progressive enough, if they’ve reached across the aisle too many times, worry about it November 4th. Spend the next four years pushing them left, protesting everything you don’t like, picket the fucking White House if you need to. I will be right there with you. But that starts on November 4th. Until then, we are on a straight anti-Trump train and y’all better not fucking get off it.
Pay attention to this, guys. I’m already seeing KAMALA HARRIS IS A TRAITOR TO HER FELLOW POC posts going around.
There are a lot of things she’s done that I don’t love either, but the operative question is “would she be better than Trump?”First put out the fire, before complaining about the state of what is on fire. For the love of god.
START NOW!
DO NOT ALLOW yourself to think negatively about ANY of the possible nominees. You can think one is better than the other, but don’t sit there thinking “Oh I could NEVER vote for this person because XYZ” because, dammit, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO.
Vote for the one you want in the primary, THEN PUT YOUR FUCKING ADULT PANTS ON AND vote for the one we NEED in 2020.
