“There’s a paradox happening right now with the culture of New Orleans. The culture is in this moment of transformation and this disequilibrium. [After Katrina] it came back with strength because people thought maybe this was going to end and so they were paying attention to the rituals - jazz funerals, second lines, Mardi Gras Indians and all that. But if there is no real estate where these [culture bearers] can live, where the culture was born, what’s going to happen to the culture? Culture is a function of people AND place.

Are Treme and all the other neighborhoods going to go the same way the French Quarter has gone? Because right now the French Quarter is - in my opinion - a theme park! All you have to do is look at these balconies. If you looked here 10 years ago, all these balconies had plants. But no one lives here anymore - it’s too expensive. All this real estate is bought up by really wealthy people from all over the place. And they may come here one, two weeks out of the year - the rest of the time it’s empty. Or, it’s rented out for AirBnb or timeshare. So the result is you have an empty city, an empty French Quarter that is just a place where tourists come, rich people live or have a ‘pied de terre’ - a 'foot in the earth’ where they come for a little while to have fun, but where nobody who really makes up the city lives. Those people have to live somewhere! So these people have to move far away - it’s very stressful and it takes you hours just to get here. I think that’s a big problem.

I’m not a politician or a journalist, I’m an artist - a photographer - and my wife is an artist. And we together talk about this in our art as a small contribution. This is what’s happening right now and I think it’s going to be very detrimental to the survival of the city. There are many cities that sold themselves to tourism and to commercialism in a very mindless, short-sighted, short-term way, and then they became just crappy towns with cheap tourism because the authenticity was lost. The texture was lost. And what was left was a facade.” #nolabeings #neworleans Interviewed in collaboration with Lou. To see the artist’s work, visit gozepa.com.

A lovely man who is so so so correct in what he is saying. We were neighbors at the Art Market and had a lot of fun together. He’s a fabulous photographer and a wise man!

I co-wrote this song with Kevin Bivona. It reminds me of going to Down Home Music with my brother Jeff. Kevin’s melodica gives it a swampy, Cajun feel. Goodbye for now. - Tim spoti.fi/1N6O0Zj

This song is one of my favorites.

Am I the only one that’s a just a tiny bit pissed off that this is still an issue?

[livelongandgetiton]

The Original Series wasn’t even in the general VICINITY of fucking around yo

[ameliacgormley]

How many shows these days would do this, and do it this way? These days, it would be all, “Ohh, we have to be sensitive and show the nuances of each side” and try not to make either side seem wrong. It wouldn’t be clearly spelled out, “pro-choice is right, if you’re against it you’re the bad guys.”

[elljayvee]

Jim Kirk is not here for your anti-birth-control, anti-choice, pro-death-penalty BS

[chandri]

James Tiberius Kirk was written and portrayed as a feminist and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

[ellidfics]

Yep.  That episode is exactly what you think it is:  pro-birth control, pro-population control, pro-choice, and pro-women’s right to choose.  And yes, Kirk, the supposed playboy of the spaceways, is in favor of all of the above.

It was written and aired in 1969.  

It probably couldn’t air today.

THINK ABOUT THAT.

[geekygothgirl]

Also LMAO at all the sad whiny geek boys who are like “I miss the GOOD OLD DAYS of SCI-FI when it wasn’t all about SOCIAL ISSUES and instead it was just about MEN HAVING FUN IN SPACE. Like Star Trek! Star Trek wouldn’t put up with all this SOCIAL JUSTICE FEMINISM IN SCI FI bullshit!” And meanwhile I’m just over here like “…did you actually watch the show?” 

[vaspider]

It’s also important to bear in mind that the Original Series had a predominantly female fanbase, and during its initial run, was widely mocked and dismissed by mainstream (i.e., male) science fiction fans as being fake sci-fi for girls. It’s difficult to overstate the influence women had on the franchise in its early days; most of the early Star Trek conventions were organised by and for women, and indeed, those same organisers were primarily responsible for the massive letter-writing campaign that prevented the show from being cancelled after the 1968 season. Without that campaign, the episode pictured in this post would never have been made.

The popular image of James Kirk as a sleazy womaniser is part of a conscious effort to erase that history and render the franchise’s roots palatable to the misogynistic geekboys of the modern SF/F fandom.

[fuckyeahsources]

For a summary of those points, see “Star Trek’s Underappreciated Feminist History” by Shannon Mizzi, which draws from Patricia Vettel-Becker’s “Space and the Single Girl: Star Trek, Aesthetics, and 1960s Femininity”.

And a gentle reminder that TOS was a Desilu production, which its board of directors voted to cancel after the second pilot due to cost concerns, a vote that Chairman Lucille Ball overruled. There is no Star Trek without Lucille Ball.

“A week ago Dad told us he was going to pass on his birthday. He wasn’t wrong. ... ...he took his last breath surrounded by family and friends. He loved everything about life and he loved that everyone of you gave him a chance with his music. He wasn’t just a country singer. He was the best country singer that ever lived.” -Ben Haggard

This hurts. RIP Merle.
