Ernestine “Tiny” Davis and Willie Mae “Rabbit” Wong, members of the International Sweethearts of Rhythm, in Europe on the USO Tour in the 1940s. There were several lesbians in the band, including Tiny Davis (no mention of Wong as lesbian) but love this pic so much! Tiny on trumpet, Rabbit on baritone sax ✨ #lesbianculture #internationalsweetheartsofshythm #qpoc #blacklesbians #tinydavis

Davis sang with the band, too — check out this clip featuring her vocals and trumpet stylings!

(This alternate version is kind of out of sync but contains the end of the trumpet solo.)

After playing with the International Sweethearts of Rhythm, Davis opened a lesbian club in Chicago with her partner of 40 years, pianist and drummer Ruby Lucas, called Tiny and Ruby’s Gay Spot.

Here’s a shortened version of a 1989 documentary short about the two of them, Tiny and Ruby: Hell Divin’ Women — featuring Davis jamming on the trumpet with her grandson!

I couldn’t find as much on Wong, but she actually survived until June 2016. She was 95.

For more info, check out this cool 2011 Smithsonian interview with some other surviving members of the band.

Depends on what your definition of antisemitism is.

Is it actual antisemitism or Palestinian people existing and advocating for their human rights?

nothorses

if it’s not antisemitism it is not covered by the post.

why is “protect queer jewish people” a red flag to you

spacelazarwolf

if you look at the phrase “protect queer jewish people and immediately think palestine i have news for you and the news is that you’re who queer jews need to be protected from.

I THOUGHT I WAS DONE BEING HURT BY THIS BUT NOPE. I WAS WRONG.

thursdayplaid

the idea behind a grim (a big friendly ghost dog) is that because the first soul buried in a burial yard would be its guardian they would bury a Very Good Boy there first so a human wouldn’t be stuck at the gate so to speak. so in that way Laika is continuing an ancient tradition of a guardian spirit protecting the souls of everyone who passes after her.

Hey y’all film crew member here. For those of you asking, they’re running like that to stay out of the shot. For us crew we TRY OUR HARDEST TO NOT GET FILMED. IT’S IMPORTANT. It’s like playing the floor is lava but with a side of “you’re fired” if you lose too many times. We’ll do anythING to not be seen. Duck around corners, dive under tables, jump in the bushes, assume fetal position on the floor, climb trees, get in the robot, hide in the trojan horse, become a vampire, you fuckin name it. My fav game while watching a movie is “guess where the crew is hiding in this shot” it’s great fun you should try it. The only problem in this particular shot is there is nowhere to hide except behind the camera which IS MOVING REALLY FAST. Why they didn’t just leave the room I have no idea. it could be any number of reasons. Time, lack of proper equipment, need to supervise/direct, etc. The real question is how the hell did Gaga not fucking lose it seeing a herd of film nerds scamper desperately in circles behind the camera

Love all the film crew people in the notes sharing their dumb hiding locations

Broke: Barbie's many different careers are a way to sell dolls and accessories to little kids.

Woke: Barbie had every single one of those careers and is an immortal timeless being.

Bespoke: Barbie's different careers are different versions of Barbie from across the multiverse who occasionally swap place with each other or combine into one Barbie.

SO THERE’S SOMETHING Y’ALL SHOULD KNOW ABOUT...

I have often used Barbie to explain Greek mythology, and people laugh until I explain it, and then they get really serious and thoughtful.

I say, “The Greeks ascribed aspects to gods. Apollo had many aspects, but all were Apollo. He’s like Barbie that way. She’s an astronaut, a veterinarian, and a rollerskater, but no matter which of those things she is in the moment, she is always still Barbie. She is Barbie in her aspect as.”

Then people get not only the idea of “aspects” of godhood, but also, well, the changeable yet eternal nature of Barbie.

someone invents a recipe > their child loves it > they grow up and replicate it for their own child > their child loves it > they grow up and replicate it for their own child > their child loves it > they grow up and replicate it for their own child > their child loves it > (this continues indefinitely)

The funny thing is as a parent you always think, “mine isn’t as good as Nana made it.” But your kid adores it and one day will say “it isn’t as good as my mama made it but the kids like it.”

and on it goes

and so love is passed down the chain of generations, on and on, from mouth to mouth to heart to heart

Hey since TERFs buried the original, higher quality recording, here’s the only surviving recording of trans activist Sylvia Rivera’s infamous “Y'all Better Quiet Down” speech, along with full transcription, now free and open on Archive.org. The transphobic fucks can try their best to scrub us from history, but we’re not going anywhere.
