By reader request: More Chip and Dale, Rescue Rangers. The first picture is Gadget dolled up as an undercover agent (so the eyeshadow makes sense for once!) and the second is a Queen Bee who just...has purple eyeshadow.pic.twitter.com/qieoOTe9FM

I'm not sure how many more of these I'll do; it's ardently clear that there are many many more left to do, it's not like I'm running out of material, but I also have a surgery to recover from.

I am also frankly very disturbed by how many people have chosen to believe that my choice to *document* a cultural phenomena means that I am showing *approval* of the same. I've said repeatedly: I do not like this trope that I am documenting. I don't know how to be more clear.

So having people drop in with comments like "I can't believe you're still doing this thread; this is disgusting", I- I'm documenting a cultural phenomena that has surrounded me since childbirth in order to prove to people that it exists. I don't LIKE it.

I don't know which corner of the internet is telling people that the collection and assemblage of primary source documentation is a bad thing or one that implies the historian/researcher approves of the history they are documenting but uh, that's not how any of this works.

also, I mean, maybe it's splitting hairs, but posting examples of a visual trope that historically derived _from_ racist caricatures is not exactly the same as posting the racist caricatures _themselves_
