I'm Still Here (2024)
Hear me out. Murdermedia, But they are Brazilian singers from the 1960s, in the midst of the military dictatorship.
We have Alastor, who is a prime target for the military because the racism of the time + the type of music he wrote + the fact that he is effeminate + the possible homosexual relationship he has with Vincent Whitman
And then we have Vincent, who is a Los Angeles diva who left home to reinvent himself and discovered that the world isn't all roses.
Now take these two artists in a messed-up era where we have not only dictatorship but also racial segregation, and have them have a confusing and hidden romance while trying to survive through their "forbidden" art.
Does it look fun?
A tela Operários de Tarsila do Amaral é uma obra que esteve e está no centro de disputas e polêmicas desde sua criação. Sua história foi marcada, no início, pela ditadura de Getúlio Vargas e pela prisão de Tarsila.
Por décadas, Operários permaneceu esquecida no ateliê da artista. Porém, nos anos 1970, ela foi comprada pelo governo dos militares.
Preparamos um artigo completo sobre Operários para você entender essa história. Acessar aqui.

Today is the 60th anniversary of the Military Coup that occurred here in Brazil (with a little help from USA, may I remind you)
The military killed and tortured thousands of people. They killed mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, daughters, sons, friends… they tortured children. They faked suicides. They targeted trans people, specially trans woman. They massacred indigenous.
Always good to remember the face of those who were assassinated by the dictatorship fighting for our freedom. Remember their names. Remember their faces. Don’t let their death be in vain.
Telma Regina Cordeiro Correa: a geography student from my university. Now the academic directory (it’s like the college version of a student council in Brazil) of Geography has her name.
Stuart and Zuzu Angel: Stuart was an activist fighting for the end of the dictatorship. He went missing and his mother. The stylist Zuzu Angel started to talk about the dictatorship with foreign media. She was killed by a car “accident”.
Edson Luís: a highschooler killed by the militaries during a protest against the high prices of the school’s restaurant.
Alfeu de Alcântara Monteiro: A military from the Aeronautical He was killed by their own colleagues for standing up for democracy, being considered the first victim of the dictatorship.
And there are many, MANY more. Some of them were actively fighting against the militaries (sometimes literally, with guns and etc). Others were just mistaken. Some were just “wrong place, wrong time” situations. Others helped someone who was fighting. But their lives ended unfairly. Some families couldn’t even bury their loved ones. And that’s why we need to remember.
“Ódio e nojo à Ditadura! Para que não se esqueça, para que nunca mais aconteça: DITADURA NUNCA MAIS!” (EN, loosely translated: Spite and pish towards dictatorship! So we never forget, so it never happens again: DICTATORSHIP NEVER MORE!)
Estava na transmissão ao vivo do tal comunista gaiofato e aproveitei pra perguntar por que ele usava um quadro falso na parede representando uma espécie de "Rei Luidiverso" - uma coisa super estranha, diga-se de passagem - e não só não fui respondido como ainda me deram um BAN.
