we still love youÂ
Love you always Freddie!
If anyone in my real life talks shit about jk Rowling, my formula is to act totally shocked and ask what she said. Almost nobody knows the answer, (ofc I know what she said duh) but it makes people curious what her words *actually* were. They usually look it up; and i have had great success at having people reflect on why they were so quick to mark her as evil.
I ask them where they heard it from, and they just heard it somewhere and decided to repeat it. That is when I say how i dont know anything about her views on trans, but that i really admire the work she has done for women. I mention the rape crisis centers, that she campaigns for womens rights in Afghanistan, her advocacy for incarcerated women. How she is one of the most popular authors, and *female* authors of all time. I tell them that she wrote Harry Potter in an abusive relationship.
That jk Rowling is an incredibly strong, brave and admirable woman, who made children fall in love with reading the entire world over, gives back to women in need, and i think saying jkr bad because shes criticizing Gender Feelings is a rly narrow view of an entire human and i really do think sharing this changes hearts and minds. At the very least it gets people thinking about what they've been advocating for.
This is amazing. I use to be one of the people that followed the crowd of the internet and just went along with what everyone said for many silly reasons until one day, I snapped back into reality, started to do a little bit of research, and started to think for myself. So please keep doing what you are doing. From one personal experience to another I have no doubt you are changing at least one persons mind ! đ§Ą
Most radfems/rad leans started out as trans activists, because women are empathetic and compassionate by nature. We are conditioned by society to keep sweet, and to be nice even when it and goes against our best interests. Please don't feel bad for being an advocate before, its our natural instinct to speak up on the behalf marginalized people and to want to help them.
Just taking that initiative is the first step in your 1000 mile journey. Welcome :)
Truer words havenât been spoken ! The âconditioned by society to keep sweet, and to be nice even when it and goes against our best interests.â Is especially true for me personally because I am wayyyy and I mean wayyyy too sweet and nice for my own good sometimes lol. But I am learning to stick up for myself and to be myself and not always be the sweet and nice girl that I am. Especially when itâs important.
Thank you for your extremely kind and welcoming words it really means a lot. I am glad to be here and in the open finally !! đ
BTS is funny as a fandom bc rn a bunch of them are boycotting BTS bc one of the boys did a Coca-Cola commercial and like
Idk I applaud that level of personal investment. American pop idols could never get that level of stanning going. American pop stars will be out here being straight up republican and the fans will still be like "she's just a messy queen who makes great music and is soooo funny." Meanwhile BTS fans will see their fave did a commercial for the most recognizable brand in the world, and go nah nah nah, Coca-Cola is connected to Israel, I will fucking burn my 50000 dollars worth of BTS merch on tiktok and cast a spell on those boys.
This is 10000% canon I did not make it up.

Imagine being Paul and seeing your longest dead situationship's son post this on his Instagram. I would just not recover đđđ
Paul's grief over time: A Compilation
âDuring the session Paul fell into a lugubrious mood. He said, âIâve just realized that John is gone. Johnâs gone. Heâs dead and he is not coming back.â And he looked completely dismayed, like shocked at something that had just hit him. âWell, itâs been a few weeks now.â He said, âI know, Eric, but Iâve just realized." (Eric Stewart, 1981)
âItâs still weird even to say, âbefore he diedâ. I still canât come to terms with that. I still donât believe it. Itâs like, you know, those dreams you have, where heâs alive; then you wake up and⌠'Ohâ.â (Paul, 1986)
"Occasionally, it wells up. Y'know, and I'm at home on the weekend suddenly and I start thinking about him or talking to the kids about him and I can't handle it." (Paul, 1987)
"Is there a record you like to put on just to hear Johnâs voice?" I ask Paul the next day. Paul looks startled. He fumbles. âOh, uh. Thereâs so much of it. I hear it on the car radio when Iâm driving.â No, thatâs not what I mean", I persist. "Isnât there a time when you just wish you could talk to John, when youâd like to hear his voice again?" For some reason, he instead responds to the original question.âOh sure,â he says and looks a little taken aback. âBeautiful Boy". (1990)
"Also not obvious is that McCartney [for the Liverpool Oratorio] has penned a gorgeous black-spiritual-like piece for mezzo-soprano that intones the last words spoken to John Lennon as he lay dying of gunshot wounds in the back of a New York police car -- "Do you know who you are?" McCartney gets a bit choked up at one point when he reveals, "Not a day goes by when I don't think of John.â (1991)
"Delicious boy, delicious broth of a boy. He was a lovely guy, you know. And it gets sadder and sadder to be saying âwasâ. Nearer to when he died I couldnât believe I was saying âwasâ, but now I do believe Iâm saying âwasâ. Iâve resisted it. Iâve tried to pretend he didnât get killed." (Paul, 1995)
"Paul talked about John a a lot, but the strange thing was that it was in the present tense, âJohn says this" or "John thinks that. Very weird." (Peter Cox, 2006)
âJohn Lennon was shot dead in 1980. That totally knocked dad for six. I havenât really spoken to him a lot about it because it is such a touchy subject." (James McCartney, 2013)
"It's very difficult for me and I, occasionally, will have thoughts and sort of say: "I don't know why I don't just break down crying every day? [âŚ] You know, I don't know how I would have dealt with it because I don't think I've dealt with it very well. In a way⌠I wouldn't be surprised if a psychiatrist would sort of find out that I'm slightly in denial, because it's too much." (Paul, 2020)
"Like any bereavement, the only way out is to remember how good it was with John. Because I can't get over the senseless act. I can't think about it. I'm sure it's some form of denial. But denial is the only way that I can deal with it." (Paul, 2020)
"When I talked to Paul about John and when he missed John most, he couldn't answer me for a long time and his eyes teared up. And I asked him where he thinks about John and when John comes into his mind and he just ⌠he lost it, he completely lost it." (Bob Spitz, 2021)
-------------------------------------------------
The following two are from the gossip website Datalounge, so they may or may not be true. Still interesting though:
"The one time I was ever actually in a room with Paul, zillion people between me and him (and no way I'm gonna bother him, all of us who travel in celeb circles have people we're fans of and all of us inexplicably try to hide it to seem "cooler"), he started talking loudly about himself and John, and how hard it was not to have him there. I remember him saying something along the lines of not a day passing that John's not still in it with him, but it's not like he can pick up a phone and say, "Hey, just needed to hear your voice today," and even when he got craggy responses, he still missed them. He misses it all, and it's bothering to him that he misses him more as time goes on -- it doesn't heal, he just learns new ways to bandage the wound."
âSince everyone is anonymous here, I guess I can give a bit of info I got from a female friend of mine who at one time worked as one of Paulâs assistants. [...] She does not know for certain if John and Paul were involved but she suspects it since to this day whenever Johnâs name is brought up he acts in her words âlike a widowâ and he also addresses John in present tense. He would say things like, âJohn thinks that the music should be like this,â and during his bitter divorce from Heather he was saying, âJohn says that this is getting nasty.â Kind of creepy." (this one actually seems very intriguing because it sounds very similar to what Peter Cox said, about Paul often talking about John in the present tense, saying "John says.." or "John thinks...")
Ok this is what I think the biopics will be like for each Beatle:
John will be so troubled but in a really charming way and Julian will be mentioned but briefly and theyâll make it seem like John was just too busy to be a present father (Paul will make up for it in a vomit inducingly cheesy way). His eating disorder, heroin addiction and other internal struggles (self-esteem, sexuality, maybe even gender,âŚ) will go unmentioned or brushed over jokingly like haha he tossed Brian off, donât we all at that age. Heâll be the cool and funny older brother & later genius who just couldnât be confined within a band. They wonât have the guts to call his bullshit and therefore will automatically brush over his kinder and vulnerable sides. Heâll be reduced to a knock off version of the tortured artist blueprint. Theyâll never pick up on his pathetic wet dog vibe
Paul will be the charming good guy whoâs all in with the band. No mention of how he fucked over Jane and every other girl until Linda; heâll be a musical genius, too, but in a prince of the people sort of way. Theyâll loooove that he stopped eating meat, woke king!!!! Linda will be brushed over by making her into his soulmate wifey who finally helps the charming playboy with a heart of gold settle down. His depression and alcohol problem wonât be mentioned/reduced to feeling a little sad. Heâll be a little bossy sometimes but they wonât ever get it right how fucking annoying he could be. Straighter than a ruler. Johnâs brother, almost biologically. No homo. Theyâll find a way to make the twink who fucked the entire population and had an ego bigger than Neptune into a straight feminist
George will be the indie underground smart Beatle and people on tik tok will start posting thirst traps of the actor with the caption âthey donât make em like this anymoreâ and then complain about real-Georgeâs teeth. Heâll be so spiritual and smart and he wonât have an affair with his best friendâs wife at all and if he does itâll be because of some spiritual insight, not because that man couldnât keep it in his pants for 5 seconds. Iâm deadly afraid of the colourful drug scenes where heâll hallucinate god. Heâll be the perfect boyfriend and Pattie will be played by Sidney sweeney or something. They wonât take a side with the whole George Or Paul debate during the breakup, but George will be too focused on other things to want to stay in the Beatles. They wonât mention the three billion songs John&Paul deemed unworthy. Theyâll never do the grudges my man held justice. No one could
Ringo will be the funny guy who luckily survived his childhood and found his passion through a kind nurse giving him his drumsticks. Heâll play an incredible drum solo at 8 years old on his hospital bed frame the first time he ever holds those sticks. He wonât be in gangs, he wonât beat his wife half to death, he wonât have drugs and alcohol problems. Heâll be peace and love from age 0. Heâll be slightly stupid and heâll mention octopuses too much. Theyâll never get it right how he was truly the eldest and how much his vote and opinion actually counted within the band and how much the boys wanted him in the band and admired him. He wonât be a sort of glue to the band. He wonât marry a teenager he met when she was 16 and he 22. Heâll be a weird version of Ken from the Barbie movie, his job will be Drum. Theyâll flatten a severely nuanced and layered man to a sheet of paper with the word âbeatâ on it
I am too afraid to even think about what they will do to Eppy
Oh and each and every one of them will have way too pretty teeth and I am already furious. I want them to have British men in the 1960s teeth. Give me British teeth and jerking off together
John and Paul on each other: A Compilation
John:
"He [Paul] looked like Elvis. I dug him."
"I'm like everyone else, Harry. I fell for Paul's looks."
"..an old, estranged fiancĂŠe of mine called Paul."
"Paul...you're so well-built." (X)
âWhen we sang together, Paul and I would share the same microphone. Iâd be close enough to kiss him. Back then, I didnât wear me specs onstage â Brian Epstein said they made me look old. So weâd be playing these concerts, in front of thousands of people, but the only thing I could see was Paulâs face. He was always there next to me â I could always feel his presence. Itâs what I remember most about those concerts.â
"Groups like this are normally not friends. Theyâre just four people out there thrown together to make an act. There may be two of them who sort of go off and are friends, you know...Strictly platonic of course."
"Oh, I've had him, he's no good."
"I was riding on a boat called Paul, and now I'm riding on a boat called Yoko."
"I've compared to a marriage a million times and I hope it's⌠understandable. For people that aren't married. Or any relationship. It was a LONG relationship. It started many, many years before the American public, or the English public for that matter, knew us. Paul and I were together since he was 15, I was 16."
"Nobody ever said anything about Paul's having a spell on me or my having one on Paul! They never thought that was abnormal in those days, two guys together, or four guys together! Why didn't they ever say, "How come those guys don't split up? I mean, what's going on backstage? What is this Paul and John business? How can they be together so long?"
"Well, Paul had met Linda before [the Apple press conference], you see. I mean, there were quite a few women he'd obviously had that I never knew about. God knows when he was doing it, but he must have been doing it."
"I donât even think about Paul unless somebody brings him up. Or if some song comes out or something happens, theyâre in the newspaper. I donât know why everyone doesnât just leave him aloneâI havenât really seen him in ten years. I can talk about him forever because I know all about him, but you see, thereâs nothing much to say."
[Studio chatter] Paul: I will be overpowering this time. John: Oh good. I like it when youâre brutal. (X)
Paul:
"John was really my only male friend, if only because of proximity."
"[While playing live] John was to the left or to the right of me, so I never got to sort of see him perform so much. Except in the film [Get Back]. And there he is in massive closeup. I can study everything about him.â
âJohn is kinda like a constant ⌠always there in my being ⌠in my soul, so I always think of himâ.
âIâll just sit around and hug him forever, because thatâs the depth of my feeling for him."
"And I would often sketch John when we worked together, often without him knowing it. It was so easy doing John because he had glasses, those sideboards...and that long, aquiline nose."
"When I painted him recently, I found myself saying, âHow did his lips go?"
"It was only me that sat in those hotel rooms, in his house in the attic; it wasn't Yoko, it wasn't Sean, it wasn't Julian, it wasn't George, it wasn't Mimi, it wasn't Ringo, it wasn't Miles. It was me that sat in those rooms, seeing him in all his moods and all his little things."
"Opposites attract. I could calm him down, and he could fire me up. We could see things in each other that the other needed to be complete."
With John and I, it was so special, I think both of us knew we couldn't get that again. [...]. We had the same sense of humour. And learned things at the same rate. Found out about Vietnam together. Little things. And you really become soulmates when that happens."
"I can still see John now: checked shirt, slightly curly hairâŚI remember thinking, âHe looks good - I wouldnât mind being in a group with him."
"James reminds me very much of John in many ways: he's got beautiful hands. John had beautiful hands."
"If I'm going to see a face in a painting, it's highly likely to be his."
"I still remember his beery old breath when I first met him that day. But I soon came to love that beery old breath. And I loved John."
"Iâm often thinking of him. I dream of him."
"John was not hard. John was the softest guy I've ever met. John was a baby. A lovely little baby, John was."
"Delicious boy, delicious broth of a boy."
"John and I used to hitch-hike places together. It was something that we did together quite a lot; cementing our friendship, getting to know our feelings, our dreams, our ambitions together. It was a very wonderful period. I look back on it with great fondness. I particularly remember John and I would be squeezed in our little single bed."
"There's a song I do called Here Today which is specifically written for John. That sometimes catches me out. I realize I'm telling this man that I love him and it's like I'm publicly declaring this in front of all these people I don't know. I sometimes wonder what I'm doing."
"Please Please Me was a John idea. John liked the double meaning of âpleaseâ. Yeah, âpleaseâ is, you know, pretty please. âPlease have intercourse with me. So, pretty please, have intercourse with me, I beg you to have intercourse with me.â He liked that, and I liked that he liked that. This is the kind of thing in which we were matched up. We were in sync."
"[John] was a wild and woolly genius who it was my pleasure to work with, walk with, talk with and occasionally sleep with. "
"Then also [me and John] were like married, so you got the bitterness. Itâs not a woman scorned this time, itâs two men scorned â probably even worse. And I had to make way for Yoko. My relationship with John could not have remained as it was and Yoko feel secure.â
"I recently bought a lot of drawings and writings by John. I have them on my wall so I get to look at them all the time."
"Even though Johnâs dead, I donât feel like weâre ever going to be apart. I think weâre a part of each otherâs lives, weâre a part of each otherâs karma."
"I do have a connection with John and I donât expect it to go even though we are separated by death. Itâs just something I will always feel."
"I think really what it was, really all that happened was that John fell in love. With Yoko. And so, with such a powerful alliance like that, it was difficult for him to still be seeing me. It was as if I was another girlfriend, almost. Our relationship was a strong relationship. And if he was to start a new relationship, he had to put this other one away."
Q: If John Lennon could come back for a day, how would you spend it with him? Paul: In bed.
Just remembered that last week i had a customer come in buying skincare stuff and she started talking to me abt her lupus and how it affects her health and eating habits and causes her skin to break out in rashes and flakiness, and i had to simply nod along and stifle every urge to blurt out that I already knew about lupus and butterfly rash and stressors and secondary health issues that it causes and such because of Michael Jackson
i mean, i don't get why he doesn't get included in a lot of 70s/80s glam and androgyny conversations. other music stars got/get credit for breaking gender norms, michael just got/GETS attacked and made fun of personally. i'm oversimplifying - i know other stars of that time dealt with negativity, and Michael's not NEVER given credit specifically for his gender defying looks. but i do think there's a trend there
racism of course
however, Prince's inclusion in those conversations, and to some degree Freddie's as well, means it's not just racism. Grace Jones is usually brought up, too. so ->
genre. a lot of the celebrated musicians are in the more respected category of rock. they are rockstars. Michael, image-wise, was always a popstar - and, in fact, a former bubblegum pop child star. then he was the lead singer of essentially a novelty family act. of course, this is stupid reasoning, as Michael did plenty of rock, and what are genres anyways? but that's how it goes
on the topic of Prince specifically: genre aside, he had a reputation of being a real musician who could pick up and play any instrument very well
so i guess in addition to genre, there's a little bit of who qualifies as a respected musician. Michael was "just" a singer, according to a lot of the public - to this day, even!
sincerity vs. performativity. (this is just my perspective.) with Michael, there's a sense of authenticity when he's Dressed Up. maybe it's because he was his true self when he was onstage; i see him in a little Outfit, and i don't feel like it's someone wearing a costume or purposely projecting an image. well, maybe a little bit, but it's different from when some other stars would get done up in similar ways. there's like a "are you doing this for attention and to make a splash, or do you MEAN it?" thing, and Michael always meant it. that was him.
A lot of Moonwalkers won't say it, so I'll say it: Michael Jackson was an Afropunk icon way ahead of his time.
For starters, the Panther solo dance sequence at the end of "Black or White" (1991) is not only the most iconic dance sequence in a visual, but there's also something very punk/radical about it in that it celebrates racial harmony, unity and togetherness while being unapologetically pro black.
From the visuals honoring and refrencing the Black Panthers, to him angrily smashing and breaking car windows and a store window defaced with racist and neo nazi fascist graffiti in righteous rage and disgust in a clear anti racist and anti fascist message, to his wild, passionate, improvised, uninhibited and sensuous dancing all showing that black joy, black sexuality and black rage can all coexist together, it all just screams punk.
But alongside that, MJ also experimented with rock, hard rock and heavy metal in other songs such as Beat It, Bad, Dirty Diana, Black or White and Give In To Me, and don't get me started on his iconic fits and visuals for Bad, Beat It and DD! It's so freaking punk and metal from top to bottom! Speaking of which, there's also the fact that MJ's look, image and fashion sense became more androgynous later on during the Dangerous and HIStory eras, and he embraced it wholeheartedly and didn't give a darn about the critics and the naysayers or what they had to say. MJ even said himself in his 1988 autobiographical memoir Moonwalker: "My attitude is if fashion says it's forbidden, I'm going to do it." Case closed! (And plus, his good friend Elizabeth Taylor even called him the King of Pop, Rock and Soul anyways!)
And MJ was a punk icon in other ways as well: another instance being him defiantly walking away from the Jehovah's Witness Organization (JWO) and its oppressive and controlling grip that was infringing upon and stifling his life, creativity, artistic expression and overall freedom. And keep in mind that when MJ did this, he did so very publicly which stirred up a lot of publicity and buzz in the media which in turn earned the wrath of the JWO but MJ didn't cower or back down and he stuck to his guns, even in the face of that same organization then resorting to pressuring his family to disown and excommunicate him.
Then there's the fact that MJ bravely called out, fought back against and stood up to the biased, racist, ableist and corrupt tabloids and mainstream media that mocked, taunted, slandered, harassed and bullied him for his appearance, his quirks and uniqueness and spread disgusting false accusations, rumors, myths, exaggerations and fabrications about him and his life.
And MJ fought back against this pervasive level of systemic racism, ableism, antiblackness, bullying, character assassin and slander of the tabloids and mainstream media in his music and in interviews, and did so with guts, poise, bravery and class and in turn opening the door for other black artists to be empowered enough to stand up for themselves also.
In conclusion, Michael Jackson was and still is a punk and Afropunk icon way ahead of his time in every way, from his music, visuals, artistry, fashion, humanitarian causes and guts in fighting against systemic oppression and tyranny, and he should be recognized as such.
