It's... Monty Python's Media Masterpost!

Here, my fellows, as I promised, are the links for nearly every Python content released and available on the internet (missing only the Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy) complete oratorio and PDF versions of the books - including Michael Palin's diaries), for the Python-obsessed, brain-fried completist like me. If you ever need to have easy access to something, just click on the links! And if you or someone you know wants to get into the Python fandom, just refer to this post!

Enjoy!!!

being in a small fandom is like being given a bone, chewing on it until you're done with it, burying it in your backyard, and then digging that same chewed up bone months later to continue chewing on it, and then the cycle just repeats.

this is especially true for small fandoms that you know won't be getting any new content, so you just have to consume the content you've already consumed thousands of times before.

Alright, folks, Pride Month might be giving over to July, but the community is still up and fighting! I've talked about how important it is to know the history and the struggles that led us here, but I'd like to use this space to link to the Gay News Archive Project.

Gay News was a LGBTQIA+ newspaper founded in 1972, of which our own Dr. Graham Chapman was a contributor, both financially and on writing, dishing advice on sexual health... unfortunately, a subject taboo then and mostly ignored (if not actively supressed) now. And needless to say, back then, the publication was sadly a target for many campaigns and lawsuits that claimed its content was obscene, immoral, and in a famous 1976 lawsuit, blasphemous.

Many advances have been made since Gay News' establishment in 1972 and since it ceased being published in 1983... many things have also stayed the same and others have even taken a step backwards. In the spirit of remembering those fights and hopefully shedding light on a small but meaningful part of LGBTQIA+ history to my fellow Pythonites, here follow the links to the newspaper archives:

Leisure time (or not), 1974

[arthur-two-sheds-jackson]

This is the script to a Monty Python's Flying Circus' sketch censored by the BBC around 1972, stolen from the archives of Graham Chapman because Gray stole from himself and published on Gay News, the newspaper where he was a contributor
