Chandelier of translucent baseball bats at Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington, 1999. Photographed by Dan Levine.
Artist: Stable (Linda Beaumont, Stuart Keeler and Michael Machnic)
“Hanging above the grand staircase is a chandelier of 1,000 translucent bats molded of resin and mounted on brushed aluminum spiraling forms. Lit with flickering incandescent lights, the piece conveys the power and movement of the swing of the bat.”

DIVISION ASSEMBLED: CHUUOKU
although i am loving the hell out of reverse 1999 as its own thing now i haven't forgotten that the whole reason i picked up the game in the first place is to collect hpmi voice actors who are also voicing characters in the r1999 jp dub
and just four patches in! we have!! a complete division!!!
regulus & nemu: yamamoto nozomi
sophia & otome: kobayashi yuu
tennant & ichijiku: takahashi chiaki
IT'S A WIN FOR THE WOMEN (RIGHTEOUS AND DESERVED)
tragically otome cv is voicing an npc here so alas i cannot fulfill my dream of creating teams that are hpmi divisions, unless......
eternity & honobono: fairouz ai
THAT'S RIGHT WE HAVE HONOBONO TOO (and i am currently building her so maybe... maybe i'll see if she can work in a team with regulus and tennant somehow, since otome doesn't seem to want to be playable)
anyway we're 1 out of 7 divisions complete now... kijima and shiraimu i am looking at u, get in this game rn

nanny! rose (not getting paid enough for this shit) | the titans (1999) #37
[ID: four photos of Rose Wilson dealing with four young teenagers. In all the photos the background gas been edited to be the same colour of light blue. In the first photo, she's first meeting them after being volunteered by another Titan to watch them. She warmly gestures them forward. In the second photo, she's yelling, “What were you thinking?” at them in a close-up after they snuck out in superhero costumes and failed to de-escalate a dangerous situation. In the third photo, she's shown as a silhouette in the foreground with her hand on her hip. The kids look up at her and all talk over each other in an attempt to defend themselves, “We were just trying to help.” “The Titans were busy, and we thought we could do some good.” “You're gonna rat us out, aren't you?” “Rose wouldn't do that!” “Would you...?” In the forth photo, Roses still has her hand on her hip but is shown from the front — her disapproving and unamused expression revealed as she doesn't give in to their bullshit. She corrects them, “I'm not going to tell The Titans. You are. They'll find out anyway, and it'll go down a lot easier if you 'fess up.” END ID]

Alternatives to Squishmallow
So as many of you have probably already heard, Jazwares, the company that produces Squishmallows, is donating to charities that support Israeli soldiers and the IDF. They’re also supporting Canary Mission, which has been doxxing people who speak out against Israel. BDS hasn’t called for a boycott against them, but I can’t in good faith spend my money on their products, and I would strongly encourage everyone who enjoys plushies to really think long and hard about if you want to give your money to a company that’s helping support genocide!
But the holidays are coming up, and lots of us enjoy plushies and were fans of Squishmallow, and were planning to give Squishmallows to friends and family this year.
Fortunately, there are a number of great plushie companies out there, and I want to promote some of my favorites in the hopes that folks will get their plushie fix from a source that doesn’t side with Israel. So without further ado:
Fluffnest
Fluffnest got their start on Kickstarter a few years ago, and I adore the round shapes of their PuffPal plushies! My favorite is Pete the Possum, which is probably the best possum plush I’ve ever seen. I’ve also got a beautiful moth from their Kickstarter and I’ve been wanting their bats for ages. They also recently had a Kickstarter for an Animal Crossing-esque video game featuring their plushie characters and it looks fantastic.
Squishables
I can’t get over the plague doctor plushies. They’re so perfect and cute, and they’ve released other variations of them called Alter Egos, like a ghostly version, an alien, or a really sweet cottagecore one! They’ve got a ton of variety, but what I like the most are the fantasy plushies. There’s a lich! There are dragons and demons! Cryptids! Biblically accurate angels! A lot of really fun stuff!
Also they do a lot of great charity work! Right now they’re doing an auction for the Food Bank of New York City.
AfternoonFika
AfternoonFika is a very small business of only three people, but their plushies are extremely cute. They tend to sell out fast, so I recommend following them on social media to stay on top of any restocks! They recently released a line of dinosaurs that are precious, and of course I love their iconic cactus cat and cinnamon bun bunny.
Jellycat
Jellycat has been around since 1999, so they’re the oldest of these companies. They’ve got great designs, a ton of variety, and a lot of their plushies are made to be cuddled on and not just displayed. All three of my tiny nephews sleep with a different stuffed dog from Jellycat. My mom has a sun and several succulents that she uses as decorations. There’s a little something for everyone who enjoys plushies!
If you have any other favorite companies I haven’t mentioned, feel free to add on! I’ve enjoyed Squishmallows for a while now and I’m sad to see their leadership coming out on the side that’s committing war crimes on a daily basis, but this is a good time to discover new favorite plushie companies! And remember, money speaks loudly. Even if BDS hasn’t called for a boycott of Jazwares, it sends a message when sales start dropping for companies that support genocide. It’s a small thing, but the little things we do can add up!
