Queer Animation Goals for 2025

I thought I'd write out some Queer Animation goals I have for 2025, plus this would be great to reflect and expand on at the end of year!

🖥️Update my Queer Animation database to over 400🖥️

This was not my best year updating my database, but ideally for the upcoming June 2025 release I'll have 150 works on there which will bump the total number of films to over 400.

🎞️Watch 1200 Golden Age animations🎞️

I watched 1000+ Golden Age animations this year, so I thought I'd push myself and aim for 1200 in 2024.

💥Finish watching Looney Tunes (Golden Age)💥

While this was a very productive animation watch year overall, I still want to actually finish watching every single Looney Tunes short in 2025. I apparently have a little under 390 left to go, all of which are from the 30s and 40s.

🥕Complete my Bugs Bunny spreadsheet🥕

I've been working on an accompanying Bugs Bunny spreadsheet as well, which was a 2024 goal but will now be moved to 2025.

🗣️Give at least 1 lecture🗣️

I'd love to start branching out and doing lectures this year. This is already slightly in the works, but I want to have some finalized presentations I can do rather than keeping it all in my head!

📚Read 10 books related to my research📚

I am SO behind in my reading this year, so I'm excited to do some catchup this year.

📝Complete 4 articles for Cartoon Research and 3 articles for Substack📝

This was not my best year for article writing. So hopefully this new year will give me more free time to continue my writing.

📱Post more regularly on social media📱

With this winter break I'm hoping to actually plan out my social media posting for at least 3 months. It would be great to start regularly posting on the socials again! Getting my follower count up on Instagram up to 1000 is a 2025 goal of mine as well.

🎙️Work on my audio and video editing skills🎙️

I'm hoping to post some AMAs on here, and try my hand at making my first video essay!

🔒Work on some super secret project stuff🔒

Unfortunately I can't delve into this yet, but hopefully in a few more years I can circle back to this!
