happy pride month my friends <3

[nanmarie]

those were the days... Picture the scene: Monty Python's Flying Circus ran from 1969 to 1974. Nothing, I mean nothing, had been seen like this before on TV. To really appreciate their courage and brilliance you need to know something about these days when gay marriage was not even on the horizon and most people would lose their employment if they were outed at work. The first Pride Parade was in 1970 and it was only in 1973 that the American Psychiatric Association in their generosity declared that homosexuality was not a mental disorder. Being LGBTQ+ was gradually decriminalized in various parts of the UK and a bit later in the US starting slowly in the late '60's.

Meanwhile, Monty Python was winning over hearts and minds through the funny bone. Groundbreaking.

I think Graham Chapman, the 4th man to join the scene, being gay and being a member of Monty Python is worth noting. He had a partner, David Sherlock, and was publicly open with his homosexuality as early as 1972. I just think it makes a difference in how Monty Python treated queerness in sketches when one of their members, their good friends and collaborators, is himself gay.

hard promises reread notes:

- wiesel keeps his cudgel “close at hand” when the boys are just?? trying to buy their papers?? jack calls him pussycat

- wiesel is physically abusive to morris, hitting him and knocking him to the floor

- davey: “we were taught not to lie” jack: “i was taught not to starve to death in the gutter! who ya gonna believe?”

- action of jack looking at the jacobs’ apartment is described as “a home. to him the taj mahal. food on the stove, sheets on the bed. home. it hits him hard.”

- mayer and sarah are raging socialists!! mayer reads from eugene debs’ work

- jack says he can’t sleep in the bottom bunk (hammock) and needs the top one . horse & wagon sound trigger a nightmare of michael’s death. jack wakes in a sweat and secretly goes to look at his family photo for a while

- spot calls jack “sullivan”, implying he knew him Before

- esther hits david in the face when she learns about the strike

- jack describes michael as “this kid, like les, but younger.” later, when jack scabs, les hits him in the mouth and draws blood; a cop retaliates against les, whose head strikes a wagon wheel, triggering a horrifying flashback for jack of michael’s death. he throws himself on his knees, picks up les, and carries him. les’ blood covers his new clothes. he pays for the doctor.

- “jack would rather die than take his pants off”

- francis malcolm sullivan. snyder tells him he’s “already responsible for the death of his brother”. snyder wants to put him in the refuge until he sees fit; jack begs to be sent to the adult prison instead

- when jack is taken to meet up with pulitzer the guy just grabs his face; seitz holds him still as pulitzer examines him

- when david sees jack as a scab, he hits him in the face. jack doesn’t resist. he just says “i can’t afford to be a kid no more”

- jack (intense, aggressive) i ain't lying. i just ain't telling you the truth. i know my brother's dead. i know what's real. (walks away, stops) it’s easier sometimes to make up a family then to have a one.

- jack, lying: “being alone don’t scare me.”

- “there’s a grin on jack’s face as he dashes for the family he will not leave behind”

THANK YOUUU

[we-are-inevitable]

make your newsies people of color. make your newsies women. make your newsies immigrants. make your newsies different ages. make your newsies smart. make your newsies disabled. make your newsies gender diverse. make your newsies have agency. make your newsies strong. the thing about the broadway show that i love so much is that ANYONE can play these characters and still do them justice.

in past productions we’ve had a black jack kelly, a latino jack kelly, a black katherine, an asian david, a racetrack who isn’t always happy go lucky, a crutchie whose actor is a disabled in real life. newsies have been genderswapped because gender doesn’t dictate the character- take uksie’s spot, who is a black woman, for example; spot is the same powerhouse of a character regardless of who’s playing them. these characters are who you make them and you do NOT, and should not, follow the path of making every newsie White Guy #17. this is fiction these are characters you can give them diverse identities! diverse cultures! diverse religions and diverse countries of origin and diverse lived experiences!

also stop making them stupid. for the love of GOD stop making them stupid. maybe most of them don’t have a “formal” education but they’re street smart and quick on their feet and resilient and they should not be reduced down to an accent for shits and giggles. not every newsie has to be a white cisgender man. get real with it. you agree. reblog.

Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.

[willow-wanderings]

It’s recently been found that even hive insects rest. Bees will play with colorful toys. Ants sleep for about 1 minute but they do it so frequently it amounts to a few hours per day. Even trees take breaks.

The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.

EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.

[roach-works]

robots require very frequent breaks! welding machines generally have it programmed in that they can’t run so long they melt themselves. ive overseen two different manufacturing robots now and each of them were fragile, finicky idiots that require constant maintenance and repair. they pause in between moves, in between jobs. you’re always keeping an eye on programming errors, on coolant levels, on heat. you’re always pulling bits of scrap out of joints, sweeping up debris, washing off nozzles and untangling hoses. and even then it snaps a chain and takes a whole morning’s vacation.

even robots need downtime.

[four-rabbits-in-a-trenchcoat]

Well how’s he on second if he’s on first?

[you-say-that-so-often]

No no no, House is on third. Second base is Strange.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Well this whole darn thing is strange but what I’m asking is who’s on first?

[supreme-leader-stoat]

No. The first baseman is Who.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Well I don’t know that so how’s about you tell me?

[tornadointhetundra]

[supreme-leader-stoat]

[tornadointhetundra]

Dr Horrible is the pitcher, not first base

[yeahokayillreblogthat]

[houndmother]

many of you just. genuinely don’t believe that people can grow and change.

[houndmother]

this is about the death penalty and its also about call out posts about people who have already apologized for things they did a long time ago and it’s also about using ‘toxic’ or ‘abuser’ as if its an immutable class of person, and its also about any other circumstance with permanent consequences or wherein you assume someone is still the same person they were.
