tell me about clowns
There's so many directions I can go in..
Clowns in history, clowns in culture, clowns in queerness, clowns in racism, clowns in drag, clowns in gender, clowns in media, clown husbandry, clowncore, types of clowns
So the real question is what do you want to know about clowns?
I fucking love clowns.

🎪**OTHER:**:circus_tent: - pueblo — these clowns actually have a sacred/religious use, and it feels disrespectful for play around with them the way i will/do with the other clowns. Like, theyre not just entertainment, theres more ritual and tradition to it. - rodeo clown: too intrinsically tied with rodeo (shocker) and i dont care for rodeo practices.

(This is NOT for Clown husbandry purposes, I've tried clown husbandry, that community isn't for me. I just really love clowns)
