Photographs from Alan Lomax’s “Southern Journey” a long series of recordings of various music such as blues, gospel, country, and spirituals from prisoners, recently freed slaves, poor southerners and largely black communities where these genres originated, this series became the first official stereo recordings of traditional african american southern folk music, celebrating generational heritage and the struggles of black life in the south at the time and impacted the creation and commercial spread of american music as we know it pioneering the “american” country sound, many of the singers, musicians and dancers present in these recordings and pictures are unnamed to this day.

happy juneteenth! if you have the time I really recommended taking a listen to some of these recordings to celebrate the voices of my ancestors and their music of resilience, especially as many of these clips are from after chattel slavery was abolished here in america and this series reflects the hope and newfound freedom black americans in the south were feeling as they looked towards the future

fuck it. sped up gif of that one scene where Boyd beats the fuck out of Ives with a log

[lesbianbillygibson]

Just my quick thoughts on Boyd at the moment here: he's the perfect protagonist as it relates to the Mexican American War and ideas of masculinity. He did not fit a narrative his superiors wanted etc. Just from the intro to 'A Wicked War' "this is also a story about...what it meant to prove one's manhood in the nineteenth century." Thus with Ravenous and ideas of masculinity tied to war, western expansion, killing & meat...how Boyd attempts to reject Ives's offer- to how this war had the highest number of deserters idk i think it all ties in.

I get so sad whenever reviewers say that Boyd was the least interesting character in Ravenous… they hate him for his shrinking violet swagger and effeminate nature… but not me, Mr. Boyd, I would never. I love you

Repose en paix, dear Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026).

[ventresses]

This is a perfect time to read the brilliant and unforgettable graphic novel(s) Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, about growing up in Iran during and after the Iranian Revolution, and the rise of the oppressive theocracy that persists to this day.

Both graphic novels are available free online (Persepolis vol. 1, Persepolis vol. 2)

It also was adapted to a wonderful film (co-directed and co-written by the author) which is available to watch for free on Sundance Now (sign up for the free trial)

in the 60s and 70s if men felt too embarrassed or repressed to have sex with each other they'd form a soft/folk rock band and sing beautiful harmonies
