Notes on Pride Month 2025

Queer history is being erased, but not as a whole, it's being torn away piece by revolutionary piece, so remember:

Abolishing I.C.E. is a queer issue

Anti-fascism means breaking rules

Trans people belong in sports

Queer history exists beyond the barriers of colonial powers

Sexuality is vital and revolutionary

America is not the heart of queer culture

Prison abolition is a queer issue

There is so much more queer history has to say, and sitting back and watching as it is buried will haunt us.

Excerpt from this story from Grist:

The day I was supposed to join a group of young women to map Gros Islet, an old fishing village on the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia, I got lost. Proann Francis, who was helping lead the expedition, had told me to meet everyone at Care Growell School, which Google Maps informed me was some 8,500 miles away, in Uttar Pradesh, India. “Where?” I asked. She instructed me to wait outside my hotel for a ride because it would be impossible to find the place on my own. An hour later, I found myself standing at the side of a dusty St. Lucian highway as a vintage red Toyota van pulled up. I squeezed in, between Francis and the driver. Behind us, a group of young women sat wearing matching light blue shirts that read “Women Mappers.” 

“We have some heavy mapping to do today!” Francis announced, breaking into a toothy smile, her dark hair pulled back neatly into a bun. 

Most of St. Lucia, which sits at the southern end of an archipelago stretching from Trinidad and Tobago to the Bahamas, is poorly mapped. Aside from strips of sandy white beaches that hug the coastline, the island is draped with dense rainforest. A few green signs hang limp and faded from utility poles like an afterthought, identifying streets named during more than a century of dueling British and French colonial rule. One major road, Micoud Highway, runs like a vein from north to south, carting tourists from the airport to beachfront resorts. Little of this is accurately represented on Google Maps. Almost nobody uses, or has, a conventional address. Locals orient one another with landmarks: the red house on the hill, the cottage next to the church, the park across from Care Growell School.

Our van wound off Micoud Highway into an empty lot beneath the shade of a banana tree. A dog panted, belly up, under the hot November sun. The group had been recruited by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, or HOT, a nonprofit that uses an open-source data platform called OpenStreetMap to create a map of the world that resembles Google’s with one key exception: Anyone can edit it, making it a sort of Wikipedia for cartographers.

The organization has an ambitious goal: Map the world’s unmapped places to help relief workers reach people when the next hurricane, fire, or other crisis strikes. Since its founding in 2010, some 340,000 volunteers around the world have been remotely editing OpenStreetMap to better represent the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, parts of Africa and other regions prone to natural disasters or humanitarian emergencies. In that time, they have mapped more than 2.1 million miles of roads and 156 million buildings. They use aerial imagery captured by drones, aircraft, or satellites to help trace unmarked roads, waterways, buildings, and critical infrastructure. Once this digital chart is more clearly defined, field-mapping expeditions like the one we were taking add the names of every road, house, church, or business represented by gray silhouettes on their paper maps. The effort fine-tunes the places that bigger players like Google Maps get wrong — or don’t get at all.

As an attempt to get more into drawing without it feeling like pulling teeth, I'm rewatching the show and making one drawing per episode. Also gonna do some note taking and general analysis since it's interesting seeing how the show actually is versus the headcanons and fanon that I've built up after only having watched the show once over a year ago. Gives a refreshed perspective. Analyses will be below the cut. And I'm not promising anything will be good, I'm just promising that I'll actually pick up a pen and do things sometimes

*All analyses are pretty fast and loose, mostly just spitballing and taking notes

Episode 1: Luz is using her book to cope with the difficult reality that she lost her dad in. Telling her to "leave the fantasy world behind" is like telling her to move on and re-enter reality.

The Boiling Isles imprisons people it views as not fitting into the norm.

Contraband only allows humans into it (and therefore only Belos). Would be interesting if Belos had control over the current knowledge of wild magic and only allowed the most powerful forcefield (to guard the most presumably important stuff in the Conformatorium) to still be accessible to only him. He presumably doesn't have a Human Realm portal and might have made this forcefield in the event that the portal door was rediscovered and placed inside, at which point he is the only one with access.

But since I've watched to episode 5 now, the forcefield that Bump uses to corner Luz and Willow in episode 3 makes me think that the "strongest forcefield known to witchkind still can't trap humans" theory is either debunked or that Bump (who notoriously chooses his students over the Emperor's Coven and grants them more opportunities to learn all types of magic even if it goes against the views of the EC) knows the magic that was blocked by Belos and has found an alternative. But Luz also doesn't touch the forcefield so it's possible that maybe it's still not capable of trapping humans and we just didn't see it be touched
