Also the Grease thing was that I saw it when I was old enough to understand poodle skirts = 50’s, but not old enough to realize that live-action movies could be set in past time periods, so it wasn’t until I was like 8 that I realize that Grease was not actually made in 1959.

This song was the music equivalent of Grease for me because my child brain thought that since the song was about 1969 it must have been made in 1969, so then whenever I heard a song with that same 80’s rock sound on the radio, I assumed it was from the 60’s

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

elon musk using IVF and CRISPR to ensure all of his children are male and then one transitioning to female boiled his brain so much he ends society as we know it is like the ultimate expression of family being the oldest kind of empire for the most pathetic kind of humans.

Idk who’s even reading anything here but I have to remind you as you fight to survive this and protect others: Step away and forget it for a while. You have to. You have to dance til you’re too tired to think about how tired you really are, and fuck someone with such intention it makes you forget

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

The Target boycott has such potential to be effective, friends. It’s so easy. If you’re already shopping there, there is basically nothing at Target that you can’t get at any other grocery store or retailer, and for cheaper. Unless it’s a matter of accessibility, (1/2)

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Over the weekend, 12 West Brewing Co. hosted neo-Nazi Leonarda Jonie in The Cellar. Other venues have cancelled her tour stop at their locations but the show went on in downtown Mesa and, of course, it brought out a local white supremacist group handing out neo-Nazi propaganda. Never drink here.

Slapping is a lost art. Great that we’ve figured out it’s violent and not an appropriate response to an insult but classic movies make it look so good. No one knows how to throw an elegant punch these days but if anyone even bothers to slap they can’t make it look good like they used to. Unbecoming.
