Duane Kearns Puryear holding his own AIDS panel at ‘Display on Ellipse’ in Washington, D.C., 1989

In creating this (panel) with needle and thread, Puryear completed the most significant reidentification possible. He identified himself as dead

i find it absolutely hilarious when brands sell “grunge” fashion (raggedy flannels, ripped jeans, etc.) when that look originated from grunge band members being dirt poor and buying everything from goodwill and salvation army

this post is from oct 30 2017 and i still agree why are rich people like this

Also the fashion was started by lesbians. Courtney Love once said Kurt Cobain just started dressing like her lesbian friends and that’s when it blew up

Dirt poor lesbians are the real trend setters send tweet

I had a dream I wrote up this whole essay post about what Clifford the Big Red Dog did for disability visibility and then I woke up like where is my essay

tidestriderz

Now u gotta write that essay post

sandersstudies

No joke but KC was really formative when I was like whatever, seven, in shaping the way I thought about disability. KC is an active character on the show who has three legs.

In his introductory episode, the other dogs try too much to help KC and end up getting in his way. He explains that even though he has three legs, he’s just an ordinary dog who can do most of the things they can, and he will ask for help when he needs it, just like any dog with four legs.

After that, KC appears pretty regularly both in episodes about disability (he eventually becomes a service dog) as well as ordinary episodes that have nothing to do with disability.

This isn’t to even mention the possible metaphor of Clifford’s largeness for disability. Clifford’s size is often brought up as an inconvenience or problem by antagonist characters before either 1) a space is made more accessible to him or 2) he shows that his size wasn’t a barrier in the first place. The message is always to include others who are different from you.

Anyway, PBS has been doing loads for diversity for decades and I hope in this wonderful era of gay rat marriage y’all recognize that.

If Stuntmen from the old movies don’t have your full respect then I just don’t know what to say to you

Yo this so much. At the advent of cinema these people were literally willing to die for their art. It’s crazy, and awesome.

Also if you find this awesome, people go check out a 2006 movie called The Fall, about a 1920’s stuntman’s stay in hospital after a stunt gone wrong.

fosters home for imaginary friends was an awful dystopia and no one talks about it at all

nyctosaurid

just a few things established in the fosters universe

imaginary friends are sentient people and everyone can see them

8 years old is considered too old to have an imaginary friend

a large amount of imaginary friends get thrown out on the street legally. At several points they talk about how they had nowhere to go and just wandered around. In Good Wilt Hunting you see a neighborhood full of imaginary friends that live on the street

this is such an issue there’s shelter(s). there’s absolutely political debates about this.

imaginary friends have rights, but not the same rights as humans (they can hold jobs and need passports and such but they can be confiscated/held as property and apparently killed without any legal issues)

babies imagine abstract, swarming friends, kids imagine normal friends, anyone older tends towards violent monsters that have to be locked up to keep them from attacking people

at one point, someone imagines a friend and eats it because they’re hungry

this is all just treated as facts of life

Quick spell from my grandma that was passed onto her from her mum and however many generations…

Lost something?

Stick a pin in your sofa and it’ll return to you.

Why does this shit work? No clue, fam. But mum and grandma swear by it and I’ll be damned if it didn’t work for me today

This relates to a series of charms threatening a spirit to return something lost. One I’ve read consists of sticking pins into an apple to threaten the Devil to return what was lost. Another concerns stepping on a stone or leaving a stone under a pile of heavy objects until the object is returned. And sticking a pin into a chair is also common in folk charms. Pinning the Devil, it is called.
