All the nifty Star Wars merch, Nightmare Before Christmas socks, and other stuff we got in the May Power Up Box!
…Plus the box fort they helped us build on our desks with some of last month’s goodies. We don’t let any part of our merch subscription boxes go to waste!
It’s Christmas time. Wreaths upon doors. Presents wrapped and under the tree. Songs of peace on earth and good will towards men. So … let’s talk about cultural appropriation! And kids movies! The Nightmare Before Christmas came out over twenty years ago; and while I’m quite sure others have made this connection, it was only this Halloween (while a cover of “What’s This?” popped up on Pandora) that I realized Jack Skellington’s choices are an allegory for the real life appropriation of other cultures.
