I'm a nerd

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 STOP THE GENOCIDE NOW!!!🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 you have free will - interact with me if you want to. I'm a nerd with many points of interest, chief among them history, makeup, roleplaying and singing. I have approximate knowledge of many things, some things more than others. I'm not an expert on anything, but I have some quite strong opinions on pedagogy and child rearing. I create art. Sometimes.

i bring a sort of “you should maybe interrogate your so-called ‘preferences’ to make sure they’re not literal textbook examples of severe unconscious bias” vibe that my woke gay friends dont really like

[mephistopheles]

what this post does NOT mean

go out and fuck someone you aren’t attracted to because a stranger on tumblr said to

go out and date someone you aren’t attracted to because a stranger on tumblr said to

You’re Not Allowed To Be Gay Anymore

what this post DOES mean

if you just ‘prefer’ to avoid majority black areas of your city

if you just ‘prefer’ to read, write, think, and talk about men

if you just ‘prefer’ to socialize with people you (perceive as) your assigned birth sex

if you just ‘prefer’ to exclusively watch white-directed movies, read white-written books, listen to white-authored music

if you just unconsciously perceive men as more authoritative/competent and ‘prefer’ to be spoken to by them

this is a post about acknowledging unconscious bias. it is not a post about dating. please stop coming into my inbox and accusing me of rape apologism and telling me to kill myself. thank you

I’m not sure everyone can accurately picture the vehicle Big Tony and Johnny Turnip took to the Forest of Dean to hunt wild boar on that fateful night, so here’s the Wikipedia article photo of a Bedford Rascal:

On this day, 23 June 1952, William Dale Jennings was arrested for allegedly soliciting a police officer in Westlake Park, now known as MacArthur Park, New York City. Jennings’ trial drew national attention to the gay rights group the Mattachine Society, of which he was a part, and membership of the Society increased drastically as the Society decided to help Jennings contest the charges. Jennings called on Harry Hay, a fellow founding member of the Mattachine Society, and together they enlisted the help of George Sibley, a member of the Citizens’ Council to Outlaw Entrapment. Jennings was one of the first gay men to contest solicitation charges. The organisation raised funds to promote Jennings’ case throughout the United States. The trial began June 23, 1952, and lasted ten days. Jennings confessed to being a homosexual but denied any wrongdoing. The jury voted eleven to one for acquittal on the basis of police intimidation, harassment, and entrapment of homosexuals. The case was dismissed.

1967: Eartha Kitt rolling up in the Catmobile in the Batman episode: "The Funny Feline Felonies" / "The Joke's on Catwoman" - Season 3, Episodes 16 & 17.

This Catmobile was designed by Gene Winfield and was a custom aluminum show car called The Reactor.

Eartha Kitt took over the role of Catwoman from actress Julie Newmar for the third and final season of Batman, 1967.

"She was a cat woman before we ever cast her as Catwoman. She had a cat-like style. Her eyes were catlike and her singing was like a meow. This came as a wonderful off-beat idea to do it with a black woman. " Bill Dozier, Executive Producer

When her casting was announced television network affiliates in the Southern states were outraged. Fitzsimons and the other producers didn't care.

Kitt appeared in two more episodes of the show "The Funny Feline Felonies" and "The Joke's on Catwoman" respectively. Her signature move is to say everything is

"perfect" while rolling her r's. It comes out as "purrfect" and it's wonderful. The New York Post is quoted as saying,

"Eartha Kitt was born to be Catwoman." Newmar herself later said Kitt was her favorite Catwoman. "She had the voice and that purr," She later told 13th Dimension. "She could purr while talking. I could never really get that. She had that from years of singing, I think, and being a sultry woman herself. She was wonderful. I just flipped when I saw her do it. I thought she was great."

After the show, she went on to an even more amazing career before her death. "Oh! I loved doing Catwoman!" Kitt told The Austin Chronicle in 2006. When asked if she would reprise her role she said, "Why not? But I probably would do it now as the mother of the cat. I love doing the character. I didn't have to think about it: I didn't try to be a cat, I am a cat!"
