We Always Save the Day

Nino and Nat talk about Steven Universe! Created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl (and Steven!) have gotten us and many of our friends and compatriots through this very apocalypse. In this episode, we cover the show’s queer ethics of education, family making, and grief, and it’s commitment to the earth--what it means to be a human and be here. Steven Universe is a huge show, so we only focus on a tiny subset of its characters and story arcs. We hope you’ll go right off and watch the entire thing. You can find it streaming on Cartoon Network or HBO, and you can find the essay we mention, by Arundhati Roy, here. Also! This is our final episode of season two! Big changes are coming for season three, which will be back in just a few months. Meanwhile, we're thanking you with every bone in our flannel-clad bodies for supporting the show. Thanks for listening, and for sharing Queers at the End of the World with us this season!
