A friend on FB pointed out that the Once Upon A Time characters Jefferson and Grace who appear in the episodes about Wonder are references to the 1960s classic rock song "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane. Their lead singer was a woman called Grace Slick, and my mind is kinda blown right now.

I feel really dumb too cause I've heard this band before cause they also recorded "Want Somebody To Love" but I never knew their name or have heard "White Rabbit" before tonight. I used to be really into classic rock, but I stopped listening to it cause I realized there's so much I don't know about it. Like the only bands I really knew were Queen, Journey, Kiss, AC/DC -- just the mainstream ones that everyone else knows and loves, and for some reason that made me feel inferior. And when I was a kid I fell in love with this dude I met in an AOL chatroom and he claimed to be a musician, and he was really annoying about how he knew so much more than I did about classic rock and roll and just treated me like I was dumb because of it. On top of that, my love for this stuff was really influenced by That 70s Show cause I used to watch the reruns every night when I was a kid since we didn't have cable and all the shit going down with Danny Masterson and the rest of the cast made me really uncomfortable.

I think I internalized this ideology that if I liked the same things the characters did than that would make me a bad person. Which is stupid cause these are fictional characters and really I have no idea if the celebrities who portrayed them have anything in common with the characters or not. And like this music isn't just a backdrop to some shitty 1990s sitcom -- it's about rebellion against the heteronormative Christian patriarchal society. And I'm gonna stop now cause I could seriously go on for hours about this stuff if I don't.

I just thought this was a really cool piece of information about Once and wanted to share.

Something my dad did when he was a kid (not sure what year- if I had to guess maybe 1966. Which would have made him 6 when he wrote this)

I love this so much it reads: “On this special day I like to play hochey hockey on my rink we play with a pufeshnol professional puck. But when I score a goat the ether other teme team goos shouts ‘oh gees’.”

Canadian boys and their hockey lolololol

This piece of paper is older than my mom-
