Since joining cohost I'm not using twitter any more and I'm using tumblr a whole lot less, and because of that I missed that the annual gender census started yesterday. So I'm posting about it here, because I figure you might be in a similar situation! The gender census is a really cool project that I've been following for a while. It's really interesting to see how the results change from year to year.

In a few days, we'll be starting our America Rock! series. We're both dreading it. These episodes won't be fun, and we’ve got nine of them before we finally get to look at Science Rock. But why is this season so heavy on the propaganda? What took us from I Got Six to Elbow Room? To find some answers, I started doing some reading. This would slowly evolve into a massive research project attempting to understand the historical context of Schoolhouse Rock, one that lead me down some truly wild rabbit holes. When I finally had a grasp on the story of this show, it gave me an idea: before we get into the bad history lessons of America Rock!, why not try to do better?

Welcome to HISTORY ROCK! SUCKS ASS, where we'll be telling the true story of Schoolhouse Rock: a story of violence, marketing, censorship, music, and Reaganomics. We've got analysis! We've got sources! We’ve even got our own musical interlude (sorta)! Schoolhouse Rock didn't just appear out of thin air, it was made by specific people for a specific reason. If we want to try and understand the show, the best thing we can do is learn it’s historical context and discover what those reasons are. Why was it so successful? Why did it eventually die? And why is America Rock! so… like that? Let’s find out together.
