The neon sign was too bright, a specific shade of arterial red that promised only two things: "Live Entertainment" and the slow, agonizing death of a thousand carbon-positive ideals. It read "THE VELVET LOUNGE," and directly below, "GENTLEMAN'S CLUB." We had chosen this location, we told ourselves, to subvert the patriarchy by leveraging its own venues for eco-justice. What actually happened was that we had accidentally stranded a pantheon of elemental champions on the doorstep of a place that smelled faintly of cheap cologne and the despair of men who don’t recycle.

Let us be clear: These women were not, in any meaningful sense, the Planeteers. We had held an audition process of excruciating length and low return. We were looking for Kwames and Wheelers, and what we got was a group of people who needed rent money and had a passing familiarity with late 20th-century cartoons. The result was a troupe as elementally disjointed as a periodic table at a clown college.

Take, for instance, the woman who had been cast as Linka, our Wind Champion. She was an experimental cellist who viewed the entire project as a performance art commentary on the commodification of nostalgia. Her hair, a silver and blue concoction, was a masterpiece of styling, and her face, set in a permanent expression of sympathetic exhaustion, suggested she had already calculated the exact environmental cost of the hairspray required. In the photo, she is seen looking at the dejected Captain Planet with a look that combines maternal worry with an unspoken critique of his posture.

The woman playing Wheeler, our Fire Champion, was, ironically, the one whose internal fire was most in danger of being extinguished by sheer corporate-sponsored ennui. Dressed in a jacket the shade of a fire-alarm strobe light, she was supposed to embody passion. Instead, she embodied a profound, vibrating anxiety. She spent the entire night checking a flame-monitoring app on her phone that was, of course, entirely symbolic. Her expression is a tableau of concern for a creature she was meant to command. She is supporting Captain Planet, and the effort seems to be draining her own life force.

Gi, our Water Champion, was played by an actress whose chief concern was that the props department had, in a fit of ironic foreshadowing, given her a staff made of actual plastic ocean debris. She was holding a collection of crumpled blue plastic bags and a few straws, a prop that looked less like a weapon and more like a collection of items that would take 1,000 years to decompose. Her face, seen partially from the side, is a mask of detached contemplation.

Then there was the woman designated as Heart, a position we had renamed “Power Song” to avoid the softer, less marketable connotations of her element. She wore a simple white t-shirt with a massive, dripping heart and the text "HEART POWER." In any other context, this might have been a statement. Here, it looked like a cry for help. Her afro was spectacular, but her expression is one of genuine, unfiltered concern. She is the closest thing to the actual Kwame, and even she seems to be internalizing the Captain's defeat.

The last of our group was Ma-Ti, our Earth Champion, played by a very dedicated woman in a costume of bark and leaves. Her performance was a study in stillness, a quality that worked well until we needed her to speak. Her face, partially obscured, shows a simple, watchful sadness.

And finally, Captain Planet himself. His casting had been a triumph of optics, a man with skin the shade of a bruised turquoise and hair like astroturf. He was meant to be the centerpiece, a symbol of hope. Instead, he was the center of our profound failure. The original plan—"Project Eco-Lust: A Night to A-Wakeen"—was a complex piece of performance art. He was supposed to lead the group in a synchronized dance-routine/protest-hybrid called the 'Power Song,' complete with eco-lyrics that referenced the carbon footprint of individual lap dances. The bouncer, a silent monolith of commerce and a man who looked like he had never once contemplated the long-term health of the boreal forest, just stood by, a silent reminder of the status quo.

The actual night of the stunt was a disaster from the first note of our power ballad. A delivery truck pulled up to a neighboring restaurant, and a cascade of styrofoam food containers—the very thing Captain Planet was designed to hate—began to be unloaded right behind him. The man inside the suit, a sensitive soul named Derek who actually did care about the planet and had only taken the job for a dental plan, simply broke. His shoulders sagged. His head bowed. His entire concept of self as an all-powerful, pollution-stomping hero evaporated in the face of our insurmountable consumption.

The photo is the aftermath of that realization. We stood there, a motley crew of hired elements, in front of a club whose primary function was to cater to the very system we were trying to change. Captain Planet was a broken god. Wheeler, Gi, and the rest of the women, though not the same as their cartoon counterparts, were united in a very real, very human feeling: the collective realization that we had been played, both by the PR firm and by the overwhelming reality of the world. The people taking photos were not witnessing a heroic moment; they were witnessing a slow-motion public relations car crash. And for 8000 characters, we have tried to explain why that crash happened, but perhaps the only true answer is found in the weary, dejected blue face of a man who realized that even with all the heart, wind, fire, and water in the world, you still can’t fight a bouncer and a truckload of Styrofoam at 4 A.M. Outside a Gentleman’s Club.

Gone too far?

​

Had a major panic attack. When police showed up at my door.

Cuffed brought to emergency room .

Restrained in bed 4 limbs.

**[Verse I — Detached Wonder | 4/4 | dusty drum machine • triangle bassline • dry vocal • cassette flutter]**

Printed backwards

Facing the wrong tomorrow.

The highway kept

I never approved.

Every passing window

finished the sentence

a different way.

Nobody read

They read themselves.

Build me

Call distortion

By sunset

my corners curled.

By midnight

I smelled like melted weather.

By morning

the purple sun

had signed

its name

**[Outro — Free Time | vinyl crackle • AM drift • distant traffic]**

Replacement scheduled.

Meaning recycled.

The highway

never remembered

She was hatched in late Jan and came to us at the end March.

Her favorite things are playing in her cage , eating Millie and hanging around people.

She has a schedule with all family members. And gets mad when the person isn't around at the proper time.

She loves carrots and spinach .

She's demanding room in the the bunny room... How to build up a jungle for her I can't drill in walls, I have 10 square feet to work with so it doesn't disrupt bunny land below.

And bunny can hop up to ( but not down from ) 5 feet in air, so everything needs to be 6 feet or higher.
