Okay I'm just going to say it - I think that the subculture of queers embracing circus/jester aesthetics should really look into what that life was like for not only queer folk, but disabled and bipoc folk as well. We were exploited, abused, enslaved and displayed for public curiosity under the smokescreen of whimsy. Before reclamation can happen there needs to be an understanding of freakshow culture and what it truly meant for marginalized people.

[coulrophilicmaniac]

This is seriously important! I do wanna say though, the research on these topics aren’t easy.

[a-little-revolution]

Fair! Here are some resources on the topic of circus culture, and the discrimination and abuse there in:

Benjamin Reiss's book The Showman and the Slave: Race, Death and Memory in Barnum's America (2010)

John Woolf's book The Wonders: Lifting the Curtain on the Freak Show, Circus and Victorian Age (2019)

The Ugly Laws: Disability in Public by Susan M. Schmeik (this is more on the legislation at the time and how that impacted circus culture)

Jessica L. William's Media, Preformative Identity, and the New American Freak Show (2017)

Being a Little Person in America: We're still treated as less than human - video essay by Cara Reedy (2019)

There is so much more info out there, but these are great places to start. It is important to know that this is recent history (freak shows were still popular in the 1980s!).

If someone just went through or is currently going through a major tragedy, trauma, crisis, or just an overwhelming event and you don't know what to do to be supportive, offer to make them or buy them a meal. Or if you're fairly close to them and you're fairly certain it will be well received, you can just show up at their place with an already prepared meal such as a pot of soup or a casserole (bonus if it's big enough that it could feed them multiple times) or alternatively gift them a gift certificate for a restaurant or food service that delivers.

Often times, especially if someone doesn't have very advanced social skills, and someone is going through some sort of major tragedy, trauma, crisis, or otherwise overwhelming event it can be really hard to know what to do for them to support them.

But when, say, a loved one just died, or you just went through a major traumatic event, or even something generally positive but still overwhelming such as you just had a baby, it can be much harder than usual to meet your basic needs such as feeding yourself.

So if you actually want to help someone who's really going through something, help them meet their basic needs such as making sure they're fed.

Other suggestions if cooking isn't your forte and you don't have enough extra funds to afford buying someone else a meal is doing dishes for them, doing their laundry, and/or cleaning up around their home. Anything to help them get their basic needs met when it's harder for them to meet their own basic needs.

The best gift for the grieving: paper towels, paper plates, plastic cutlery, garbage bags.

Take the tasks off their shoulders.

Bring in their mail. See a bill? Pin it to the fridge if you arent close enough to sit down and help pay it yourself (finances are touchy). Don't let them lose their utilities when they've already lost so much.

Take out their trash. Clean their toilet if you can find the tools.

Functioning is hard. It doesn't have to be their priority in grief if you can keep them safe and fed.

[in-the-drowning-deep]

This applies to major life shifts in general tbh! Someone's got a new baby? Bring food and nappies. Load the dishwasher. Tidy stuff up. Someone just moved house? Bring food. Someone just got divorced/is going through a messy breakup? Bring food and tissues and a shoulder to cry on.

[fairytracks]

Yep. Media seems to have latched onto this running "joke" of mocking characters who bring casseroles to the grieving, or trying to imply that EVERYONE does that and it's therefore somehow actually UNhelpful or even detrimental to flood grieving or struggling people with too much food. But like...

I've never received a casserole in my life despite plenty of grieving and struggle. Not everyone has a support network like that, and not everyone just brings a casserole when they don't know what else to do. Most people, from what I've seen, when they don't know what to do, do nothing. Also. Casseroles can be frozen. Also also if they ARE for some reason just completely overwhelmed with food contributions? You could do some dishes for them! Or maybe help separate out the servings into freezer bags for them. Or both.

Procuring and preparing food is hard. Especially when you're not even feeling hungry due to nausea or grief or anxiety. And spoons are out the window. It's hard to think of body's needs. So having any help, and the wonderful gesture that someone else is there for you and IS thinking of your needs... it means a lot.

LIKES TO CHARGE REBLOGS TO CAST

[boybeetles]

A lot of people seem to mix up ‘community’ with ‘friend group’ so when they read ‘no one should be abandoned by the community. No matter what they did’ they think it means ‘you have to be friends with abusers’. When in reality it means ‘no matter what someone does they shouldnt be left to go homeless and be denied financial, housing, medical, etc aid’

You don’t have to be friends with these people, no one is saying that. It’s just saying that you should support rehabilitative justice, support programs that help homeless people, support funding for free medical services, and make sure they don’t turn away anyone who needs help.

genuinely they have probably saved people.

[amvs]

they HAVE saved people actually i’m 100% sure of that. i’ve learned about so many recalls i would’ve had no idea about otherwise !!!! from the bottom of all of our hearts thank you mamoru

[mamoru]

aw shucks, thank YOU! what a pick me up!

when I was younger, I got food poisoning. I was supposed to recover from it, but I wound up with a bunch of nasty medical conditions instead. I never imagined I would become disabled from food.

so I am really glad I have been able to help spread the word every now and then about food safety and recalls, since it hopefully means a few less people going through what I have.

while I have your attention, I do not post every recall, even just for the US, so here are a few of the links I use!

recalls.gov/recent.html <- aggregate of official government recall links for the US! food, drugs, products, child safety seats, motor vehicles, and tires! (half the feeds are broken half the time, but hey, it works™! check the FDA enforcement reports for a more complete list of recalls, especially drug recalls!)

recalls for canada <- recalls for canada!

RASFF <- food recalls and safety alerts for the EU!

food safety news <- news about food safety in the US, canada, and around the world!

I was poisoned <- see where people have gotten food poisoning near you, and report your own! (worldwide!)

thanks for reading, stay safe and take care!

remember the time this website was like “don’t worry, we’re just ethnically cleansing this site of meddling Russian bots” and then used the permission structure created by the spectre of the evil Russian as cover for expunging literally almost every single black or brown radical with a following from the platform after they’d already blocked and cleared out every political hashtag they ever used, and not only did the remainder of the website let them get away with all of it, every now and then someone will go “hey that was fucked up when they did that” and they’ll get like 5 fandom blog hitlers in their notes telling them it was a justified response to a real threat
