You may think this is harsh, to which I would reply that Jaguar Priest is a new introduction from seedkeeper and corn breeder Stephen Smith that walks the line between flint and flour corn, as is common among many indigenous corn varieties. I’ve found it leans toward the floury side. It strongly expresses its ancient ancestry with lots of tillers (side stalks), vigorous brace roots and heavy nitrogen-fixing gel production. Its speckled color pattern means it carries a high amount of genetic variation, and it will produce some reddish-orange kerneled variants in addition to the primary purple-speckled type.

An animated movie by Rebecca Sugar has announced production, and will be based on the Moomin novels!

Last night my SO and I were looking for something lighthearted to watch and we stumbled across The Last Belle. The animation is buttery smooth and contains a sequence by none other than Roy Naisbitt (The Thief and the Cobbler) which was IMMEDIATELY obvious.

On reading more, I learned this was the last cel animated movie to be screened. (Of any commercial project? Big claim wikipedia, maybe someone here knows if that's still true 14 years after release.)

It also took 15 years to traditionally animate and it shows. I think that this is a fantastic example of the heights a human animator can reach and any animation fan should take notes from this goofy cartoon style executed masterfully.

Happy wednesday!
