I WILL BEAR MYSELF TO PEOPLE AUTHENTICALLY EVEN IF IT COULD LEAD TO EMBARRASSMENT AND POSSIBLE REJECTION FOR DEEPER MORE MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS

How the soul feels when granted permission to desire

Not like that film was a one-off either.

I would like to add The Birdcage (1996) to this list of drag queen movies (mind you, it's based on a French stage play from 1973).

Which starred Nathan Lane as a drag queen just two years after he had voice Pumba in "The Lion King":

And we ESPECIALLY need to remember Victor Victoria from 1982 (during the REAGAN administration) which is SET IN THE 1930S and stars everyone's favorite curtain-sewing nanny as a struggling soprano who decides to pretend to be a boy doing drag (DOUBLE THE DRAG FOR YOUR MONEY). I mean look at this photo:

Count Victor Grazinski isn't putting up with your transphobia (or you being a dick to Robert Preston).

Unfortunately, the representation of drag and female impersonation (as it was often called pre-Stonewall) is scant in mainstream American cinema due to the Hayes Code. There are definitely more, but these are biggest, "family-friendly" names I can think who have starred in major motion pictures as drag performers.

can I add another?

Some Like It Hot (1959), it got in trouble with censors and still went ahead, but it featured a lot of Gender and a character getting really into this whole “being a girl for real” thing, as well as the implication of a a gay engagement being on the table

but like? It has Marilyn Monroe in it and banger music and it’s a classic! I only know from my mother bringing it up and also a tiny bit of exposure to russian tv channels, but I think it was also popular in the Soviet Union? So she’d seen it as a child and loved it so much she watched it with me when I was also just a child.

(not to mention big traditions of children’s theatre with drag performance)

I know these people are incapable of feeling guilt or empathy most of the time, but I'm going to tell every one of them my mother died and it sucked. I don't care.

Maybe I'm trying to make sure a horrible, pointless, unnecessary death can have some meaning beyond my grief. That my mom's suffering can have some... reason.

Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office have been the most impactful opening to a presidency since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933.

The number one thing that I’ve heard from people about the first 100 days of the Trump administration is “I can’t keep up.” There’s too much happening to keep track of, even if you can stomach reading the news every day.

I have a solution. For the last several months, I have been reading the news for 2-4 hours a day and tracking major political changes in a spreadsheet (which now has nearly 800 entries). I categorized the most important changes I noticed, and then wrote up summaries for each category.

Starting early next week, I will be releasing “Documenting the Damage: 100 Harmful Policies from Trump’s First 100 Days” in five thematic parts: democracy, civil rights and liberties, economy, environment, and foreign policy. The goal of this project is to document as many significant changes as possible, creating a semi-comprehensive record of what Trump 2.0 has done so far to the United States and to the world. In terms of its value for general audiences, this wide-ranging report might be the most important project that I’ve ever put together.

Stay tuned for more next week.

They’re scared because they know that the public is with Luigi.

They’re violating his rights because they need to maintain capitalism.

Keep talking about Luigi.

i have tourettes where I say sudden funny things but never any slurs because I am good boy 😇 I have OCD but not the one that makes me really concerned about piss and shit but the movie one that makes me line things up properly nice and neat because I am a good boy 😇 I have bipolar but not the one that makes me act embarrassingly in public because I am on the highest point of a downward curving emotional pendulum swing, but the one that makes me creative af via safely utilizing my tendency towards extreme emotions in my art (because I am a good boy 😇) I have autism but it's the one like from the movies where I'm good at math or being a detective, and not the one that makes other people hate me so bad they want to kill me because I am annoying to them. because I am a good boy 😇 I have schizophrenia too but I also don't, because somehow in the cultural lexicon no one who has schizophrenia is a good boy and there is rarely a stylistic bullshit depiction of the condition, but I'm still a good boy 😇 society knows this. society knows this.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I just want y'all to know that I am the most cowardly anxiety-ridden being on the face of this earth and I still managed to take a 10 hour road trip by myself with my shitty ass old car and nothing bad happened.

You can do the scary shit, I promise you, you can do it.

If I managed the fucking miracle of driving up half the East Coast through fucking Washington DC interchanges on American Interstate Highways full of American Drivers doing their worst then BY GOD you can do whatever it is you're scared of doing.

I think that the power is the principle. The principle of moving forward, as though you have the confidence to move forward, eventually gives you confidence when you look back and see what you’ve done.
