Our Flag, Our People

The quilt was my entry in the 2024 Cherokee Nation Homecoming Quilt show. The theme for the weekend was "Weaving our Future."

I used the colors of the Cherokee flag - orange, yellow, brown, green, white and black. The extra red stripe was in honor of MMIW. You probably can't tell, but the white fabric actually has symbols from the Cherokee Syllabary on it, which I ordered from Spoonflower.

Pattern was Plaidy Cake by Allison at Cluck Cluck Sew

I think I've realized why Jackie from Jackie Chan Adventures was such an endearing protagonist. Stuff like his bond with Jade & ability to fight helped sure, but what really made his personality work is this:

Jackie is a man who treats being a good parent to the child dumped into his care, being a responsible archeologist and fist fighting demons gods to all be equally daunting tasks.

Thus he is able to straddle this strange line between being easily the most competent person in a room at ay given time & the most stressed out, put upon every-guy you've ever seen.

This is all tied up in a bow, when his perspective on these things flips. IE, sometimes when the stars align he will treat the enormous danger he's in with the same gravity as tutoring his niece.

Which allows him to straddle the exact opposite line of most unflappable guy ever and incredibly dorky but good hearted nerd who greets old college friends with a cheerful hug.

Right after said friend gassed and kidnapped him.

But yeah, it was just a really fun way to write him.

Also, for the show in general, the dumb fat henchman from season 1 gets a full on redemption arc becoming one of the smartest, most skilled, and also kindest main characters on the show.

I know there's the funny ha ha of a capitalist's worst nightmare of a product being too durable you don't need to replace it, but the situation is actually quite interesting to look into

https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/tupperware-brands-files-chapter-11-bankruptcy-2024-09-18/

A lot of articles tend to point towards a lack of "relevance" but ultimately that's not what is happening.

One of Tupperware's biggest hurdles is availability, not demand. They previously relied on independent sellers, down to individual independent sellers, like the Tupperware Parties of yore (people, usually women seeking financial independence from the 50s onward, would hold events to sell Tupperware to other suburban women -- similar to Avon). 2022 was the first year Tupperware could be found in places like Target. At All. Their exclusivity and middle(wo)men decreased their reach as the parties became less and less of a thing.

The next issue for Tupperware is in manufacturing. It only has a single US plant (which it now closed) and struggled post-(early)covid to pay for rising costs of plastic and transportation of materials.

THEN Tupperware got fucked by investors trying to make bank first on their success and then also on their failure as they got swept into "meme stock" betting, where inexperienced traders gamble on stock around jokes/irony.

So ultimately, Tupperware has failed to get with the times as it has always relied on suburban lady sales while countless imitation products hit shelves in places where working class people shop for cheaper and sometimes comparable products, the cost to make a good product went up and as Tupperware struggled, investors and gamblers who are addicted to Line Going Up cashed in on betting on their failure rather than success, and because Tupperware is so synonymous with plastic food storage, IP gremlins are more than delighted to crash and burn a company to get it on the cheap and turn it around to make the numbers go back up again.

Rather than a "oh the woe of durability" story, or lament that a product is not used anymore, this is an excellent microcosm of the vulturistic nature of capitalism.

How dare you read the article and add nuance to this headline upon which I may project my grossly uninformed postulations of Our Society and consumer behavior.

As an aside, and this is just in an anecdote, but I know a lot of cities have mandated no styrofoam/1 use plastics for takeaways. Which means my pantry is just full of these and they work great!

this!!!

tupperware is HELLA expensive and has specific size lids (that i lose, of course, thanks ADHD) and if it melts or something can't be recycled.

re-using free "tubberware" containers from takeout/lunch meat/cottage cheese/etc. etc.. they have pretty common size lids (catch me with my ricotta cheese container and aldi salsa lid) and if they break or something you recycle them
