Good Stuff: Baman Piderman

WARNING: When making Kool-Aid, buy two packets for better flavor. Thank you, take care out there, and enjoy.

Holy Slamacow, this show is the tops and bottoms

Before Tumblr became my glory hole for art and visual entertainment, I had more complex sites like Newgrounds, Stickgames, and Youtube before it became a sellout. And in Youtube, there was a channel called Mondo Media that felt like a reject Adult Swim sub-channel. And in that, Mondo had stuff like Dick Figures, Gundarr, and Larva that would produce new episodes by the week and I’d check in every time. Not Happy Tree Friends though, that scared me. But I saw a particular series that I then I unfortunately sweeped under the rug like a pak of gummi blobs. Let me tell you, I was a FOOOOLISH child for thinking this was nothing but nonsense scribble dribble! This was/is the best thing to enter my life, and it deserves all the praise and love and cake and ice cream that one might be able to get. Why I skipped out on such a delight back all those years ago is a certain mystery. Then again...

Made by Lindsey and Alex Small-Butera, a couple of artists whose fluid yet jittery outlined animation can be recognizable if you’ve seen an Adventure Time or Ed, Edd, n Eddy. Not saying they were involved in the latter, but this show takes the style from the Eds and pictures from the early days of animation reels. And if you haven’t seen Ed, Edd, n’ Eddy as a child, then I feel sorry for you. This was what got me hooked at first, with simple motions the characters look like something from old Fleischer or Disney shorts, but when it needs to pick up the motion can be as smooth and well flowing as a... Ghibli film? No, that’s more grounded. Steven Universe? No, that’s too floaty. I GOT IT! Have you ever heard of The Snowman, a small film about a boy that flies with a snowman he built himself that is just genuine Christmas? Now have you ever heard of this one commercial that parodies that movie where this child and a snowman were flying through the winter air while the child had a Scottish soft drink in hand and the snowman ditched him since he was too spoiled to share? See below, but Baman Piderman is like that with its direction, except it doesn’t have as detailed an art style as the commercial or the film.

youtube

it also doesn’t have a punk who REFUSES to spare a sip!

The second, and personal favorite, element of the series are the characters. Admittedly, BP’s first season didn’t do much for me beyond introducing most of the main cast. It’s silly hijinks for a start, but season two certainly picks things up. My favorite character will go to the ghost girl Wanda, not just for her giddy prankster attitude but because her past is very intriguing; originally a haunter in Piderman’s house it changed somehow but more on that LATER! Though, I’ll say the evolving couple of Pumkin and the very big squib are a well featured dynamic, with Pumkin’s laid back charm in contrast with Squib’s enigmatic attitude. Their episode here perfectly captures their gentle and fun togetherness, as well as the central mood for the show, and I hope their kindling relationship blooms like a cloud in the sky.

youtube

It’s also the simplicity of it that gets me

This can be a silent film sometimes and there’s a comforting sense of passion that shows how much the creators care about this and you, esp. when some feels step in. So many feels. I highly recommend this to anyone who would just like a nice time passer or a spirit booster when times get tough. As we speak, a new episode of their third season is almost finished (that’s gonna be spoopy), so that can be something out for as well. But that’s all; just wanted to persuade you into checking this. You may continue with your scrolling.

And I’m off to dream...peace

QTBIPOC Artist Spotlight of the Week:

Peo Mitchie

The Queer & Trans People of Color Alliance (QTPOCA) will be meeting this Friday, location TBD!

LAVISH QTPOC Art Showcase (Tuesday, May 21, 2019) 6:30 PM - 9 PM @ Ethnic Cultural Theater 3931 Brooklyn Ave NE, Seattle, Washington 98105

Lavish is a multi-arts showcase opportunity centering Queer and Trans People of Color (QTPoC).

The showcase is student-driven and its final form will be created organically among the participating artists. Lavish centers artists who identify as QTPoC. White allies/accomplices are also welcome to participate. Artists of any experience level are enthusiastically invited to participate in this low stakes/high support experience.

Please consider filling out the following form if you are interested in participating at Lavish: https://forms.gle/dq7TMqV8YQAfvtu2A We will host an Informational Session on May 3, 2019, 3:00PM at the Q Center (HUB 315).

From Palestine to Mexico, All the Walls Have Got to Go! (Monday, May 20, 2019) 7 PM - 9 PM @ Southside Commons 3518 S Edmunds St, Seattle, Washington 98118 These days, the headlines are filled with Trump's proposal for a border wall, news about brutal family separation policies and baby jails at the border, police murdering Black people in the US, Islamophobic attacks, accusations that Congresswoman Omar is "anti-semitic" because of her criticism of US foreign policy in Israel, and anti-boycott legislation at the federal and state levels. How are all these things connected? What does it mean to build a powerful movement for change that connects these issues and wins change that actually reduces the harms of systems of policing, imprisonment, border enforcement, and colonial dispossession? Join us for a conversation between Maru Mora Villalpando and Nada Elia

Maru is the community organizer at the forefront of work aiming to close the Northwest Detention Center. She has been targeted by the Trump administration for deportation based on her activism and works to build a radical, visionary, border and prison abolitionist migrant justice grassroots movement in our region and nationally. Nada Elia is a diaspora Palestinian writer, organizer, and teacher who was one of the first activists to work to expose how US law enforcement trains with the Israeli military and to build coalitional feminist work to oppose it. Maru and Nada will be talking about the overlapping and interconnected law enforcement technologies being used to target migrants to the US, US communities of color, and Palestinians, and exploring how we build internationalist anti-law enforcement and anti-military resistance. This event aims to strengthen all our imaginations and strategies for building safety through solidarity, not law enforcement.

Filipino Night is FASA sa UW's annual flagship event and cultural show. It is a show directed and produced by students, for the greater Seattle and UW community.

Doors open: 5:00 PM Show begins: 6:00 PM EVENTBRITE LINK TO BUY TICKETS : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/filipino-night-2019-identity-defyned-tickets-60321084989?fbclid=IwAR29T2xOoPn-keE7SoysXJaz_O5zZhQQhC6wS_pf9Xd-krcRFz8tVuDMpNY Students: $7 General: $10 @ Door: $15 ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION:

WHAT IS THIS YEAR'S FILIPINO NIGHT?

Five students at UW – Alex, Emmy, Max, Reyna, and Wil – are as different from each other as could be. When a Filipino American studies class brings them together, they must work with each other amidst personal troubles, the challenges of friendship, and family struggles. Will the five of them be able to learn how to understand each other and, more importantly, how to understand themselves? Or will their differences and difficulties prove too great for them to overcome? Identity Defyned will explore the ever-changing perceptions and definitions of identity and address a question pondered by many – “What does it mean to be Filipino?”
