Hello! We are the Raggedy Ann Revival Effort, a group attempting to revive the Broadway version of the Raggedy Ann musical!
Haven’t heard about it? Check out these sources!

Raggedy Ann the Musical is partially lost media; it only ran on Broadway for five days, although it was a hit in the USSR. A full audio recording of the musical has been discovered, although we don’t know the location of where. The creator of video 2 also has their hands on a script for the musical, also something we don’t have our hands on.
What it our ultimate goal? Our goal is to restore and revive the Broadway version of Raggedy Ann, by recovering and cleaning up the script, creating instrumentals for the music, and recovering any lost Raggedy Ann the Musical content we can find, so that hopefully we may one day put Raggedy Ann on as a show!

We hope you’ll join us!
When Brazilian graphic designer Carol Rossetti began posting colorful illustrations of women and their stories to Facebook, she had no idea how popular they would become.
Thousands of shares throughout the world later, the appeal of Rosetti’s work is clear. Much like the street art phenomenon Stop Telling Women To Smile, Rossetti’s empowering images are the kind you want to post on every street corner, as both a reminder and affirmation of women’s bodily autonomy.
“It has always bothered me, the world’s attempts to control women’s bodies, behavior and identities,” Rossetti told Mic via email. “It’s a kind of oppression so deeply entangled in our culture that most people don’t even see it’s there, and how cruel it can be.”
Rossetti’s illustrations touch upon an impressive range of intersectional topics, including LGBTQ identity, body image, ageism, racism, sexism and ableism. Some characters are based on the experiences of friends or her own life, while others draw inspiration from the stories many women have shared across the Internet.
“I see those situations I portray every day,” she wrote. “I lived some of them myself.”
Despite quickly garnering thousands of enthusiastic comments and shares on Facebook, the project started as something personal — so personal, in fact, that Rossetti is still figuring out what to call it. For now, the images reside in albums simply titled “WOMEN in english!“ or ”Mujeres en español!“ which is fitting: Rossetti’s illustrations encompass a vast set of experiences that together create a powerful picture of both women’s identity and oppression.
One of the most interesting aspects of the project is the way it has struck such a global chord. Rossetti originally wrote the text of the illustrations in Portuguese, and then worked with an Australian woman to translate them to English. A group of Israeli feminists also took it upon themselves to create versions of the illustrations in Hebrew. Now, more people have reached out to Rossetti through Facebook and offered to translate her work into even more languages. Next on the docket? Spanish, Russian, German and Lithuanian.
It’s an inspiring show of global solidarity, but the message of Rossetti’s art is clear in any language. Above all, her images celebrate being true to oneself, respecting others and questioning what society tells us is acceptable or beautiful.
“I can’t change the world by myself,” Rossetti said. “But I’d love to know that my work made people review their privileges and be more open to understanding and respecting one another.””

Hey so never thought I’d ever have to make one of these but uh yeah my landlady is not happy that my baby exists in an area that I pay a fucking premium for :^))
So yeah Dante Markus hasn’t even been alive for two months yet and we’re facing eviction in the middle of a pandemic!! And because we’re in the middle of a pandemic trying to find a rental is not exactly cost effective
I’m already paying 1300 a month and am pulling that outa my ass so I’m not sure where I’m supposed to find money for anything else I’m freaking the duck out and I’m really not sure what to do especially right now.
I had a pretty sever hemorrhage post birth and am just now finally healing so I can’t even go back to work yet like I’m so cucked I fucking thought shit would work out for once but fuck me i guess.
I know money’s tight for everyone but if you have anything to spare I’d be eternally greatful but if you don’t I get it
