Best 90s Cartoons from a 30 something year old

What’s your favorite cartoon?

I rarely watch cartoons now and these are in no particular order but back in my day it was:

  • The Flintstones – “Yaba dada doooooo” – I love the outfits and often wondered is this how things were in the stone ages? Of course I was wrong 😂
  • The Jetsons – I wondered if this would be life after the Y2K but it seems no flying cars or floating houses only the promise of Amazon Prime floating deliveries, FaceTime and a very hot planet 🙃 being made hotter by self indulgent trips to space
  • Rugrats – I utterly and the thoroughly loved this show, not only was it inclusive it was just wholesome. Angelica was a perfect little antagonist while Chuckie was just sooo Chuckie, o the twins “You can’t handle the button Phillip”, the parents were great too and they didn’t mess up the movies. The theme song is perfect and will always remind me of my childhood or pre-teen hood days
  • Power Puff Girls – Bubbles was my fav
  • Let’s not forget the ever sarcastic Daria Morgendoff – 🎶La la la la la, Excuse me, la la la, Excuse me, la la la, you’re standing in my way …. 🎶 – This may be top 5 😅
  • The Wild Thornberrys – They were just weird and cute and I would say the start of “different” characters/families/cartoons?
  • Pinky and the Brain – They had big dreams and wanted to “try to take over the world” that is my instagram bio to this day
  • Dexter’s Lab – “Ooo what does this button do?”. Being an older sibling is always hard. I didn’t have a secret lab but I did have a secret *cough cough* you’ll never know 😏
  • As Told by Ginger – As a girl that always kept a diary and had a desire for “popularity” but still generally had fun at school with my small group of friends, I think Ginger spoke to me and for me
  • The Adam’s Family – Morticia and Gomez’s love for her
  • Angela Anaconda – “Angela Angela save me” – Nanette always had cute outfits
  • Ed, Edd n Eddy – The hustle spirit just to get jaw breakers really inspired me as someone with a sweet tooth)
  • Tellytubies – It was just sooo calming and Lala was my fav. “Oh ooooooo”.

and that’s all Folks 😘

Me

What have you been working on?

I’ve been working on being a better person. That has included accepting the bad, the good and the in-between.

It’s also just meant accepting that the vision I have of some perfect future me may never actualize and the existing version is just fine.

I’m considering what relationships still serve me, wondering why I hold on to the ones that do not. Wondering if I give people chances out of compassion or out of fear that I may need that grace in the future.

Fear has showed itself a lot in my quest to be better, I never thought there was anything I couldn’t do but I think as you get older life shows you that there is much to fear.

So I guess I’ve been working on the fear that this may be as good as it gets and acknowledging no accepting that’s ok?

Ode to a Single Mother – The Settle Down Selections 

Daily writing prompt
What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

Our fathers have passed

Our fathers have left

Our mothers have tried

Our mothers stood tall

Now the world says we should be ashamed

O no, that I will not do

I will not feel shame about the one that raised me, raised me against all odds

O no definitely not, for I know that woman is a queen

O no I am not sorry, I am not ashamed I was raised by a single mother

Our fathers have failed

Our fathers are gone

Our mothers have tried

Our mothers have stood tall

Ottawa Street Art aka Graffiti

I love the city of Ottawa and on my recent trip I couldn’t help but notice that it like most cities right now has been impacted by high levels of homelessness.

I also couldn’t help but notice some of the street art.

Apologies to the building owners and much love to the artists. ✌🏾

I would love to live in Ottawa so this seemed like a sign

I love seeing black people in all and any art
I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are.
