Looney Tunes Song References

Decided to track down some of the song references in the Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies shorts.

Book Revue (1946) Stop That Dancing Up There

Long-Haired Hare (1949) When Yuba Plays The Rumba On The Tuba

Little Red Rodent Hood (1952) Rag Mop

Back Alley Oproar (1948)

The song being sung is Angel In Disguise.

But it's in the style of Spike Jones.

I really should watch Owl House. I know I’m going to enjoy it. But I think there are too many things in my life and my brain right now…

A Reading Rest Weekend

The effort to not work all weekend, swimming against natural inclinations (or just my imposter syndrome) was bloody well taxing. The kids had threatened to tie me to the couch with a book and a plate of fried cheese sticks if I didn’t take some time off; I suppose I’ve been getting twitchy. I did get some reading done, finishing Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter, which was…

NEW at Draw Down: Revue Faire no. 42, 43, 44, and 45 This anthology collection brings together four separate issues, including N° 44 — "A conundrum: the visual communication of neuroscience" by James Langdon

Neuroscience is a visual science. Our understanding of the brain’s biology originates in the beautiful and pioneering images of neurons and dendrites produced by Santiago Ramón y Cajal and Camillo Golgi in the late nineteenth century. In recent decades neuroscience has embraced computational imaging. We have witnessed dynamic images of living brains produced by fMRI, and intricate, colorful representations of “neutral connectomics” that promise ultimately to reveal the ‘wiring diagram’ of the human brain. Such images are not merely the documentation of scientific work; they are themselves primary sites of research. The images are the science.

And yet the interaction of neuroscience with mainstream visual culture tends toward the simplistic and the amateurish. Science communication seems to regard graphic design and art direction skeptically, preferring to contextualize its technical images with a collage of cartoons, internet memes, and generic high-tech stock photography. The emerging neurotechnology industry, by contrast, adopts the visual language of corporate “big tech.” Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s Neuralink project presents its experimental neural implant technology as if it were an innocent commercial appliance. These observations are urgent. Inevitably neuroscience will soon yield opportunities for technologically augmenting the human brain that could further entrench inequality and stratification in our society. This text is not a call for more friendly interdisciplinary collaboration between graphic design and neuroscience, but a pointed critical assessment of the visual literacy of one field from the perspective of another.

Ziegfeld and His Follies: A Guest Book Review By Cheryl Rice

So much for labor saving! One of the happy benefits of having written a popular book (and now a popular blog) is that I have accrued pen pals all over this great land of ours. Hudson Valley Poet Cheryl Rice has been among the most valued for many a long year now. She suggested a review of this book and I lobbed the task back to her….and of course what do I want to do after reading the review?…

Love story , tome 1 : Anatomy

Édimbourg, 1817.

Hazel est une jeune aristocrate à l'avenir tout tracé. Promise à un cousin, son rôle est de se préparer à devenir une épouse dévouée et soumise. Pourtant, Hazel rejette cette fatalité. Passionnée de médecine et aspirante chirurgienne, elle décide de braver les interdits liés à son sexe et à sa classe sociale pour suivre en secret des cours d'anatomie.

C'est alors qu'elle fait la rencontre de Jack, un voleur de cadavres travaillant pour le compte de l'université où elle étudie. À ses côtés, elle se sent plus libre et audacieuse que jamais. Et quand elle découvre que certains grands chirurgiens et membres de l'aristocratie réalisent d'étranges expériences sur les cadavres, elle décide de mener l'enquête...

Bonjour mes étoiles, j'espère que vous allez bien !✬

On se retrouve aujourd'hui pour ma revue s'agissant du livre Anatomy. Dans ce premier tome, nous suivons l'histoire d'Hazel, interne en médecine et dont le rêve est de devenir chirurgienne un jour. Problème : la société secrète des anatomistes qu'elle souhaite intégrer n'est ouverte qu'aux hommes.

L'écriture de Dana Shwartz est très fluide, c'est un livre que j'ai lu assez rapidement. L'histoire était prenante et j'ai vraiment apprécié la détermination et le courage dont faisait preuve Hazel afin de poursuivre ses rêves sans oublier ses valeurs.

J'ai beaucoup aimé le fait de me retrouver propulsée à Edimbourg dans les années 1807, ayant une appétence pour les romans historiques. Mention spéciale pour l'univers médical également.

Une suite est annoncée pour 2023 en version anglaise. Je n'ai pas encore de visibilité quant à la sortie du second tome en France. Mais il est certain que j'aimerais beaucoup lire la suite !

Connaissez-vous ce livre ? Avez-vous envie de le lire ?

the fact that this poll of two incredibly niche lesbian fandoms has over 10k votes and has devolved into almost pirate battle poll levels of hate in the notes is so fucking funny to me

(I did end up voting revstar entirely because of that tag about them doing what griddlehark did while going to a theater high school)

anyway, cool people that appreciate both, what are your revstar necro/cav headcanons? which tlt characters would have the most insane revue sets? which tlt card would be an auto ban in pvp? how do you fit a giraffe on a spaceship? tag your posts so I can follow!

I thought about giving numbers and titles for the various worlds in my fanfic, but since I haven’t settled on them, yet, I just use these nicknames:

Yachiyo’s World: Based on Magia Record (primarily as it appeared in my older fanfics).

Amare’s World: Based on an old RP universe some friends and I made back in 2019. Contains traits of MagiReco, Revue Starlight, and the Oz book series.

Wraith World: Based on PMMM post-series/Pre-Rebellion.

Unknown Worlds: The worlds where those two Homuras, Campanella, Kuroe, and the Super Witch come from.
