Hey all, while we're busy normalizing women with hairy legs, hairy armpits and bushy pubes, let's also normalize women with hairy upper lips, hairy chins, hairy side burns, hairy chests, and all the other places where women are supposedly magically hair-free.

power chords were invented by indigenous (shawnee) musician link wray, who also made history when his song "rumble" became the first and only instrumental single banned from the radio in the us (way back in 1958!!!!!) "rumble" would go on to appear on shows like the sopranos and spongebob squarepants and films like pulp fiction

[neshamama]

100%

link wray popularized the modern "power chord" with distortion like the larsen effect in the late 1950s. this 1959 song "comanche" highlights his guitar techniques that played a role in the development of punk and metal.

playing that banned song in the 70s in san francisco:

after death, wray was featured in the 2017 documentary, RUMBLE: the indians who rocked the world. here is an article by one of his biographers if you would like to learn more:

The "Rumble" hitmaker, who grew up in Dunn, didn't embrace his Shawnee heritage until his forties.

Link Wray kicks ass. He wrote one of my favorite albums in a chicken shack and he played guitar so loud he had to put the speakers outside to record the songs. It’s the most “recorded in a chicken shack” album I ever heard in my life, listen to how recorded in a chicken shack this shit is

[sahonithereadwolf]

He's also arguable the first musician to use distortion because he used a cheap speaker with a hole punched in it, giving him a unique sound. After he got big, a bunch of white boys would imitate him by hunting down the model and manually punching a hole in it with a pencil

so many people will be theoretically anti-war and some may even pay lip service to the notion of imperialism being bad, they will perhaps go so far as to say they oppose the idea US occupation. and yet still they will genuinely be shocked when you straight up hate the military in a real way, in the kind of way where you do not make excuses for or lend sympathy to anyone who enlists. they won’t follow you there. they will invoke things like poverty and ptsd and when you remain stone faced and uncompromising they will think YOU’RE the monster. and not, you know, the people who literally knowingly signed up to be a part of the mass murder machine.

[ndnbutch]

like people are always talking about poverty in defense of enlisting and I just wish y’all could recognize the very simple fact that the people in the countries that United States military members are voluntarily signing up to kill are often also living in poverty and then on top of that they are having to worry about being bombed and slaughtered by the imperial poor. Like it’s just not a good excuse to offer yourself up to the murder machine. It isn’t. Of course the United States government doesn’t treat veterans well. It doesn’t treat anyone well. What do you believe veterans to have done that should entitle them to decency not afforded to anyone else? I guess personally I’d rather focus on getting EVERYONE fed and housed, focus on opposing the systems that lead to these conditions, rather than finding sympathy for those who believe they are owed a meal ticket drenched in blood.

OH MY GOD... OH MY GOD... OH MY GOD...

The doctors told me that if nothing changes in the next twelve hours, my father will die. His blood has become very thin, and every minute that passes is heavier than the last.

[alanqar-nader]

They explained that he was still on life support, and I was told they couldn't continue his treatment indefinitely because I could no longer afford the exorbitant medical costs. I stood there speechless, feeling as if the ground had vanished beneath me.

[hotvampireadjacent]

Please donate! I can’t imagine hearing such horrible news in his scenario. Bravery & strength have a limit. He needs help urgently, please donate.

Hey, did you know archive.org has a bunch of free 90s shows you can stream?

The problem is finding them, since no one's organized them all in one place with covers and episode info. I'm trying to fix that with my new website.

It's in BETA right now, and all the content was just added today, so I've barely scratched the surface of what's out there.

Jason Arday was killed by a racist witch hunt, plain and simple.

It's true that Cambridge University failed in their duty of care to Arday by putting him a position of power that left him vulnerable to intense scrutiny that he clearly couldn't handle, but it's also true that the media circus around this has been completely overblown and honesty quite disgusting to watch.

The media took the petty grievances of a racist with a grudge and turned what should have been a minor controversy into a borderline harassment campaign against a man who most of us didn't even know existed until a week ago.

This was never a story about a professor lying, it was a story about a black man lying.

People of colour are not aloud to be flawed, that is a privilege that seems to be reserved for white people only despite it being something that is true for every person.

Nobody is perfect, but not everyone gets to be Imperfect.

Shame on Cambridge University.

Shame on the media.

Shame on everyone who contributed to this.

RIP Jason Arday

His accuser, Nathan Cofnas, is an open, full-blown race scientist and white supremacist who believes that Black people are inherently inferior to white people and would occupy no prestigious positions outside sports and entertainment.

It literally does not matter how many hours I work this week, I'm going to be behind on bills because the only jobs I can do don't pay and make my condition rapidly worsen until I physically can't even get up, much less work, at all

[d-7th]

I’m so physically spent from overwork that I can’t even get out of bed. I can’t eat or drink without getting sick. I can’t even keep my eyes open for too long without getting sick. I’m not going to live through this without some kind of help.

I need $600, which I’ve been trying to raise all month for a deadline that is now in two days, and beyond that I need enough money to go back to the hospital and pay out of pocket multiple times over to get some actual fucking treatment

[d-7th]

listen I'm ambulatory again today but I am shaking and having a hard time standing up, I need help

[storyweavingspider]

Hey, if you've read any of my work and thought about giving money to me, I'd really really appreciate if you helped my friend out. They have to make $600 in (now) about a day. Please fucking help them.

If your lover lives in Hong Kong and cannot get to Chicago, it will be necessary for you to go to Hong Kong. Perhaps you will spend your life there, and never see Chicago again. And you will, I assure you, as long as space and time divide you from anyone you love, discover a great deal about shipping routes, airlines, earthquake, famine, disease, and war. And you will always know what time it is in Hong Kong, for you love someone who lives there. And love will simply have no choice but to go into battle with space and time and, furthermore, to win.
