So there [Lagos] we recorded “Band On The Run”, just the three of us and Paul played all the drums and later overdubbed bass, and it had a good vibe to it one of those albums Paul thought, I’ve got to do it, either I give up and cut my throat or get my magic back.
That album I think has given him the faith that he needed in himself, it is him and he can do it. Because he is so musical, you wouldn’t believe it. When I was a photographer I met a lot of musicians, and heard them play… but he’s such a natural on every instrument.
Linda McCartney interview with Sounds [1974]

Chuuya had managed to hide that (very embarrassing) fear of lightning for all those years through careful movement planning, dubious self-control and luck. Today is probably not the day he'll talk about it, but lucky for him, he wasn't the only one here who would have liked to keep more stuff to himself.

Beware: Call your bank if you donated.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These two are run by the same person: a scammer pretending to be in Gaza.
Here is the gofundme being stolen from along with more info:
If you donated to "Nicholas Ochieng", you've been scammed. Paypal will not resolve on their own, due to the scammer instructing people to donate as "friends or family". You would have to dispute it with your bank. [I DID do a search for the name, there are multiple presumably real people by that name who live in... Kenya.]

Geneva ‘74 50 years on: Michelotti Lem. The Laboratorio Elettrico Mobile has started as an idea by engineering journalist Gianni Rogliatti who proposed an electric car with wheels in a rhomboidal layout. Michelotti built the prototype using bonded aluminium with the centrally placed rear wheel driven by 48 Volt batteries. It was displayed 50 years ago at the 44th Geneva Motor Show

does anybody remember that tma episode where this lady just like. couldnt sleep no matter what she did and one day she looked out her window and the fuckign billboard across the street that used to be a coffee ad was mocking her about it. bc that episode was actually kind of horrifying and listening to that lady's statement about how her insomnia was driving her insane and michael was taunting her about it was awful
but also. the mental image of someone absolutely sleep deprived out of their mind looking up and seeing a billboard defying the laws of physics just to make fun of them is kind of hilarious and i think about it every time i have trouble sleeping. im like damn. just like coffee billboard lady

Wet Willie ~ Keep On Smiling !!!  😎
~ ♫♪♫ ~
Well you say you got the blues Got holes in both of your shoes Feelin' alone and confused You got to keep on smilin' keep on smilin'
Yeah, you're about to go insane Cause your woman's playing games And she says that you're to blame You got to keep on smilin', keep on smilin'
Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain Rollin with the changes til the sun comes out again Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain Rollin' with the changes, singin' this refrain
Singin' in a honky tonk cafe’ Nobody's hearin' what you play They're too busy drinkin' anyway You got to keep on smilin' keep on smilin'
You say you found a peace of land Gonna change from city boy to country man Try to build your life with your hands You got to keep on smilin' keep on smilin'
Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain Rollin with the changes till the sun comes out again Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain Rollin with the changes, singin' this refrain
~ ♫♪♫ ~
You're just hangin' out in a local bar And you're wonderin' who the hell you are Are you a bum or are you a star?
Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain Rollin with the changes til the sun comes out again Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain Rollin with the changes, singin' this refrain
~ ♫♪♫ ~

I remember when same sex marriage was legized in my state (3 years before obergefel vs Hodges which legalized it nationwide). It won by a very narrow margin.
People who had taken care of me when I was young, people who were like second parents to me, (along with half the other people I knew) were saying it was the end times because I could now get married. And I couldn't help but wonder... would those people have protected me, cared for me, let me play with their children, if they had known I would grow up to be queer?
I came out in 2011. I was lucky. My parents were accepting. My mom was clearly uncomfortable at first but she made it clear she loved me no matter what.
Except.
My dad didn't care if I was queer and assured me that didn't mean there was anything wrong with me (in a speech I didn't need to hear but I think he needed to say). But he still said "that's gay" and "that's faggy" anytime my little brother showed vulnerability.
And I was a lucky one. My father used homophobic slurs around me regularly. He turned the word gay into a slur with his homophobic mouth. And I was a lucky one.
When I came out publicly, my grandmother stopped speaking to me for a while. I'm lucky that she changed her mind. I'm lucky that my grandparents let me bring my girlfriend with me when I went to visit them in October. October of 2022 and I still consider myself lucky that my grandparents let my queer partner into their house. My other grandma likewise visited with us, and was polite and friendly, but she still refused to call my gf anything other than "your friend." Still lucky. Incredibly lucky.
People don't understand just how bad things were as much as ten years ago. When I came out at school, I was lucky. No one bullied me. No one shoved me into lockers or called me slurs. They all just stopped talking to me. I became invisible. I went to a small school. I was the only person who was out. Exactly one person talked to me the rest of the year. And I was a lucky one.
When I was in middle and highschool, the go to insult was "that's gay." I heard it constantly. Every day. Sometimes people said it to me to insult me, long before I even knew I was queer.
I was lucky because the worst that happened to me was social isolation and people using slurs around me or turning my identity into a slur. No one called ME faggy. No one beat me up behind the school bleachers. I was incredibly lucky.
I have experienced the word "gay" used as a slur far more than I ever heard the word "queer" used as a slur. Young "queer is a slur and only a slur" people need to know the world you live in is not the world the rest of us live in. Why is "queer" a slur but "gay" isn't? My homophobic father thought the word "gay" conveyed just as much offense and disgust as the word "faggot." So why is queer the horrible word that can never be reclaimed but people say "that's gay" as a compliment now? The loneliest I have ever felt was in a room full of teenagers who thought my identity was the height of insults. So why is gay fine but queer isn't?
I am a fat butch queer and I do not hide that. My shoes have a pride flag on them. I have a masculine haircut and wear men's clothes. I look queer.
And I am afraid. I dress like this anyway, because I want other queer folks to know I am a safe person. I dress how I do partially because I like it but also partially so any queer person in the room, no matter now closeted, can see me and feel a little bit safer. Because I will protect other queer people with my life if need be.
Because I am openly and visibly queer and live in a world where being queer can get you killed. Because it can. Gay bashings still happen. The alt right are getting bolder in their violence, and that includes homophobic/transphobic violence. There are organizations in the US that are actively pushing to make homosexuality punishable by death in Africa. They know they could never accomplish that here. But they would if they could. People want us dead.
Young people need to understand that. And they need to understand that the people who did the most work to free us from criminalization were queer. They identified as queer. And they weren't the perfect law abiding queers toeing the line of what's acceptible. Because being queer itself was illegal. You could end up on the sex offender registry for being gay. In fact, there are queer people who are STILL registered as sex offenders just because they were queer in 2001. Pride wasn't a permitted parade with wells Fargo floats. It was angry queers illegally marching down the streets, screaming "We're here. We're queer. Get used to it."
Being openly queer is a radical act. It is still a radical act.
I did not live through Windsor vs the united states, the referendum 74 debate, my father punishing my brother for being human with homophobic slurs, and the pearl clutching fearmongering about "the gay agenda" (that was a go to phrase for 2012 homophobes) for some LGBT kid to come at me with TERF bullshit they got off tiktok about how my identity is a slur and I'm a horrible person for using it.
I was a lucky one and I'm still saying "no, absolutely not" to this bullshit.
Queer is more inclusive. Queer accounts for any possible fluidity because people change. Identities change. Queer is there for people who know they're Something Different but are not sure of the details yet. Queer is intentionally vague. When you're young you want everyone to know exactly who you are but as you get older you realize actually my identity is none of your business. In fact, sometimes when you tell someone your identity, you're handing them a bludgeon for them to hurt you with.
If you have trans classmates, you do not understand the world the rest of us grew up in. Trans people were not a public topic. They were not even acknowledged as existing by most people. I didn't know what being trans was until I was like 17. I'm nonbinary now and consider myself trans 10 years later.
And I didn't even have it that bad. But you know what? It still sucked and it was still hard and I can't imagine what it was like to grow up a decade before I did. I had it easy compared to most people.
If you can jokingly say "that's gay" when someone expresses queer love, then you can fucking handle people using the word queer as their identity.
The infighting and policing each other has to stop. You're oppressing queer people with this bullshit. It does not matter what words queer people use to describe themselves when there are people actively killing us. What are you doing? For fucks sake look at the bigger picture. Direct all that rage at our oppressors and the people who mean us harm. Queer people and he/him lesbians and bi lesbians and people who use neo pronouns and whoever else is the discourse of the day do not deserve this kind of treatment. Punch a homophobe and maybe you'll feel better.
