When people say: “We survived Reagan & Bush” ...

http://www.sfgate.com/health/article/Gay-Men-s-Chorus-carries-on-A-quarter-century-2533823.php

At every rehearsal during the 1980s and early 1990s, there were announcements about who was in which hospital room and when the next memorial was scheduled.

“I could see all these people dropping all around me, and there was no official response from any health department at any level,” said Tony McIntosh, who joined the chorus in 1985 and lost 25 friends to AIDS. “It was maddening. The chorus gave us an outlet for all that anger and relief from the feeling that nobody in the world seemed to care.”

… not everyone did.

A lot of us did not survive Reagan and Bush.

It’s kind of appalling how little LGBT history gets recorded and preserved. I’ve gotten to know the history of my hometown pretty thoroughly, and I know that there has to be gay part of it, but there’s absolutely nothing available to acknowledge that. 

If you’re an LGBT history geek, talk to your elders! write down what they have to say! encourage them to donate their things to museums and collections where they can teach future generations that gays have always been here!

SHOP NOW OPEN!!

Mine and @neekaneeks (@tanekastotts) Gumroad is now open! We’re offering our kickstarted enamel pins: Catarina’s Collection! 

A lot of love went into the creation of these pins: they come from a need to feel closer to my latinx community back home (that I’d been disconnected from since leaving California) as well as connecting to a whole new queer POC/latinx community online and here in the Pacific Northwest.  These wouldn’t exist without the help and support from my friend and roommate @neekaneeks, whom I infinitely love <3 Thank you so much Taneka!! 

There’s also our lovely Catarina Gold Foil prints and three adorable stickers on our Gumroad storefront! Grab some pins for your friend, family, and for yourself (TREAT YOSELF!) 

Check out our Gumroad >>>HERE<<<

I haven’t seen much about this topic on tumblr (actually, nothing) but Isabel Marant, a French designer, who’s known for her “tribal without being too literal” clothes and designs just stole and are being patented by Antique Batik, a design indigenous people from Mexico have been wearing, producing and selling for decades (if not centuries). A blouse from Marant’s Etoile collection has been singled out by the community of Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec, which believes it bears striking resemblance to their traditional costume. You can judge by yourself, the similarities can’t be a coincidence (and to me it looks like it’s literally plagiarism, not inspiration):

The traditional dress of the indigenous Mixe community in Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec, Oaxaca, southern Mexico is believed to be a symbol of their identity.

The dress by Marant is on sale for £200, the equivalent of 4,500 Mexican pesos and about 300 dollars. The original blouse produced by this indigenous group costs around 300 pesos/20 dollars in Mexico.

The Oaxacan people are asking that the heritage of the community is recognized and that Marant removes the blouse from her collection.

Please, we should raise awareness and spread the word. It’s not the first time this person was accused of plagiarism. Stop cultural appropriation. Stop trying to erase POC’s culture and identity and trying to make it a fashion statement. Stop using not so privileged people and their culture/identity as a way to make money and steal theirs by patenting THEIR OWN CULTURE. Stop using the ignorance of others in order to benefit yourself for something you didn’t create.
