Another 10 queer punks

1. Gina Schock(on the right, Joan Jett is on the left): lesbian

Gina Schock is the drummer for the Go-Gos and prior to that she was the drummer for “Edie and the eggs” (which was fronted by Edith Massey who was most know for being in John Waters movies).

2. Kristian Hoffman(In the middle between David johansen and Jonathan Richman): gay

Kristian Hoffman was the keyboardist and song-writer for “The Mumps” and also played with “The Contortions” and Lydia Lunch. He was in the 1971 documentary tv series “An American Family” because he was Lance Loud’s (who was the singer of “The Mumps”) best friend.

3. Snuky Tate: gay

Snuky Tate was involved in the San Francisco punk scene and was in a band called “The Alterboys”. Though he recorded a single called “who cares?” that was not with “the Alterboys”. He died in 1998.

4. Cherry vanilla: unknown

Cherry Vanilla is a singer-songwriter and actress. She worked with and dated David Bowie. Too my knowledge she has never specifically stated her sexuality though her keyboardist Zecca Esquibel said “Well, Cherry's act was always a very sexual act. She's gorgeous woman, and known for her sexploits, so it was very easy for her to put into her show an occasional song about her attraction to women. Basically she's heterosexual, but she's had many…ah, I won't say many, I won't put words in her mouth. Cherry had had lesbian experiences with other women and was attracted to women, and occasionally she would sing about it, and ended up with one song on each album. "Foxy Bitch," which was, is about Linda Ronstadt, and "Amanda," on the second album. I can't claim that it's a reference to Amanda Lear, but I think it is, who is the famous sex change that appeared in a lot of Bowie's work.” So I’m not sure exactly how she identifies but it seems as though she’s not 100% straight.

5. Eric Emerson: Bisexual

Eric Emerson was a Warhol actor originally and then was in early glam punk band “The Magic Tramps”. Emerson was openly bisexual. At some point (probably in the 60’s) his father accused him of being “a little sweet” and Eric Emerson’s response to the statement was "What he don't understand is that my generation can swing both ways". He died in 1975 a month before his 30th birthday. The official cause of death was a hit and run though it is more likely he died from a heroin overdose in a different location and then placed on the side of the road.

6. Marie France: trans woman

Marie France is a French singer and actress who was somewhat involved with punk in the 70s, putting out a punk style single “Daisy / Déréglée” in 1977. She was involved with FHAR, Front homosexuel d'action révolutionnaire which in English is Homosexual Front of Revolutionary Action. She was involved in a group called “The Gazolines” and was on the cover of a single by punk band “Gazoline” which was named after the group she was in.

7. Alice Bag: Bisexual

Alice Bag was the singer for the L.A punk band “The Bags”. She has said that David Bowie was was a big influence on her and how she found out that bisexuality was an option “When you’re in your early teens you’re starting to explore sexual feelings. At that point, I thought you either had to be straight or be gay. I didn’t know that you could be bisexual. But when David Bowie talked about it, all of a sudden I thought, That’s how I feel and that’s OK. He’s David Bowie and he’s giving me permission. It was very powerful.”

8. Vaginal Davis(the one in the front) : genderqueer and intersex

Vaginal Davis’s name is a homage to Angela Davis, considering Angela Davis to be one of her biggest inspirations. Vaginal Davis was in multiple bands such as “The Afro Sisters” and “¡Cholita! The Female Menudo” which Alice bag was also a member of. She also helped form the Queercore punk movement of the 80’s and made the zine “Fertile LaToyah Jackson” which was published from 1982 to 1991.

9. Phranc: lesbian

Phranc was in the L.A punk band “Nervous Gender” she was also in the bands “Catholic Discipline” and “Castration Squad”. Around the 80’s she moved away from punk and into folk music, calling herself the “All-American Jewish Lesbian Folksinger".

10. Tom Robinson: bisexual

Tom Robinson was in “The Tom Robinson Band” which was a political band that had many LGBT related songs. For a long time he identified as gay though in 1982 he met Sue Brearley and he would eventually marry her, though he would still identify as gay. In the 90’s he stated "I have much more sympathy with bisexuals now, but I am absolutely not one." Though he now does consider himself bisexual.

Daily Mail: Beatrix Potter accused of 'cultural appropriation' using African slave tales to inspire Peter Rabbit

Beatrix Potter has been accused of 'cultural appropriation' by an academic who claimed the author's most beloved tales copied folk stories told by African slaves.  

Dr Emily Zobel Marshall, an expert in postcolonial literature at Leeds Beckett University, has called for wider acknowledgment of the debt Potter owed to the Brer Rabbit stories told by enslaved Africans working on American plantations.

According to the research scholar, the author's 'quintessentially English' tales of Peter Rabbit, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and Jemima Puddle-Duck, were 'more than just inspired' by the Brer Rabbit stories told by slaves in the 1800s.

The tales, about a cunning rabbit who lives in a briar patch and outwits larger animals, can be traced to pre-colonial Africa, said Dr Zobel Marshall in an essay for The Conversation. 

The stories were later shared by slaves working on plantations in America before being adapted for a white audience in the 19th century by American journalist and folklorist, Joel Chandler Harris.

Beatrix Potter's most iconic stories, including Peter Rabbit, were 'more than just inspired' by folk stories told by African slaves, an academic has claimed. Peter Rabbit is pictured

Dr Emily Zobel Marshall, an expert in postcolonial literature at Leeds Beckett University accused Potter of 'cultural appropriation'. Potter in 1892

Dr Emily Zobel Marshall said Potter's were inspired by the Brer Rabbit stories which could be can be traced back to pre-colonial Africa. The stories were told by enslaved African working on American plantations (pictured are slaves working in 1862)

The Uncle Remus stories, as they then became known, were familiar to Potter - and Dr Zobel Marshall has accused the author of failing to publicly credit them as the source behind some of her children's stories. 

The academic said: 'Peter Rabbit and the rest of Potter's tales are viewed as quintessentially English stories about characters conjured from Potter's brilliant mind and inspired by her life in rural England. 

Dr Zobel Marshall has accused the acclaimed author of failing to publicly credit them as the source behind some of her children's stories

'Yet her tales are, at heart, folktales that originated in Africa before being adapted to expose and reflect the violence, resistance and survival tactics of the plantation life of enslaved people in the Americas.

'I was amazed to realise how little comment there has been over the years about the many similarities between Potter's tales and the Africa-originated Brer Rabbit folktales.'

In Linda Lear's 2008 biography of Potter, A Life in Nature, it was noted that while her 'first audience was British', her work was strongly influenced by Harris - 'whose Brer Rabbit stories she had loved as a child'. 

Copies of Harris’s Brer Rabbit folktale collections, bearing her father’s bookplate, were found at Potter’s Lake District home after she died in 1943. 

Dr Zobel Marshall added: 'These stories had not been published in the UK when Beatrix Potter was a child. It is therefore likely that her early contact with the Brer Rabbit tales (in comparison with the rest of the British public) was a result of her family roots in the cotton industry.'

Potter's 'quintessentially English' tales of Peter Rabbit and Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, were 'more than just inspired' by the Brer Rabbit stories told by slaves said the academic

Peter Rabbit, which was first published in 1902 and has since sold more than 45 million copies worldwide. But Potter has been accused of cultural appropriation and 'failing to acknowledge the inspiration' behind her story, an academic has argued 

In Lear's biography, Potter acknowledged in a letter to her publisher that The Tale of Mr Tod, the sequel to the Tale of Peter Rabbit, contained 'imitations of Uncle Remus'. 

'Having analysed the plotting, language and characters in her tales, it's clear that Potter was more than just inspired by these folktales,' Dr Zobel Marshall added. 

Who is the academic accusing Beatrix Potter of copying African tales

Dr Emily Zobel Marshall is a Lecturer in postcolonial literature at Leeds Beckett University's School of Cultural Studies.

She teaches courses on African-American, Caribbean, African and black British literature. 

Of Martinican and British heritage and has lived in Leeds for 20 years.

She specialises in Caribbean literature and Caribbean carnival cultures and is an expert on the 'trickster figure' in the folklore, oral cultures and literature of the African people.

Pointing out the similarities, the academic said that in Some Lady's Garden, written in 1883, Brer Rabbit 'tricks Miss Janey into letting him into her father's vegetable garden to steal English peas, sparrow grass (asparagus) and goobers (peanuts) by pretending to be a friend of her father'.

'This plot is the main storyline in most of Potter’s tales and is directly linked to the need for enslaved people to steal food from their masters to survive,' the research scholar argued. 

But Dr Zobel Marshall argued that Potter had attempted to 'steer' her audience away from the inspiration behind the likes of Peter Rabbit, which was first published in 1902 - and has since sold more than 45 million copies worldwide.

'She appears to have been keen to claim the stories as her own, while ensuring that readers didn’t make the connection between Peter Rabbit and the stories narrated by Uncle Remus,' she wrote.

Dr Zobel Marshall claimed that by failing to publicly admit the inspiration for her stories, Potter's actions 'fed into a damaging and reoccurring appropriation of Black cultural forms that continues today'.

She added: 'The Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit brands are highly lucrative, yet I have found no references to the black American sources of these tales in any of the Beatrix Potter museums and experiences in the UK and US, which attract hundreds of thousands of visitors yearly. There is similarly no mention of these sources in any of the films of her tales, or in the 2006 Hollywood biopic Miss Potter.'

MailOnline has approached Potter's publisher, Frederick Warne & Co, a branch of the Penguin Group, for comment.

How Beatrix Potter's tales became some of Britain's most beloved 

She created some of the most beloved children's stories in British history, penning the likes of Peter Rabbit, Peter Rabbit, Jeremy Fisher, Jemima Puddle-Duck and Mrs Tiggy-Winkle. 

During her sensational career, Beatrix Potter wrote and illustrated 28 books, including her 23 Tales which have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide. 

In her later years, she became a farmer and sheep breeder and helped protect thousands of acres of land in the Lake District. 

But she has now been accused of 'cultural appropriation' by an academic, who says her iconic tales were 'more than inspired' by folk stories told by African slaves on American plantations. 

Born on July 28, 1866, in Kensington, London, Beatrix was the only daughter of cotton fortune heirs. 

Beatrix Potter pictured alongside her dog, was born on July 28, 1866 in South Kensington, London. She is pictured at her Lake District home, Hill Top, in 1907

For much of the first 47 years of her life, she lived at her family's home at 2 Bolton Gardens.

Her family was well connected. Edmund, Beatrix's paternal grandfather, had become wealthy by setting a successful calico printing works at Dinting Vale in Glossop, Derbyshire. He later became a Liberal MP for Carlisle. 

And Beatrix's maternal grandfather, John Leech, was a merchant who inherited a cotton mill at Stalybridge in Cheshire. 

But growing up, her childhood was a solitary one that was occasionally brightened by long holidays to Scotland or the Lake District - trips that inspired her love of animals and painting.

During one of these trips in Scotland, at the age of 27, Potter sent an illustrated animal story to a sick child of a former governess, about four bunnies named Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter. 

It proved so popular that, aged 35, she decided to privately publish it as the Tales of Peter Rabbit in 1901. The following year it was published commercially by Frederick Warne & Company and proved a runaway hit. 

Over the next 20 years, 22 additional books were produced, starting with The Tailor of Gloucester (1903), The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin (1903), and The Tale of Benjamin Bunny (1904). 

Beatrix Potter wrote and illustrated 28 books, including her 23 Tales which have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide. Peter Rabbit (pictured) was one of her most acclaimed

‘What an appalling quantity of Peter,’ she remarked, in her typically dry style at the time. 

In 1902 she met the first love of her life, Norman Warne - who was the son of her publisher, Frederick Warne. 

In July 1905, at the age of 39, she had become secretly engaged to Norman, who was 37. Her parents, shocked that their daughter was thinking about marrying ‘into trade’, did not approve of the match. But Beatrix would not be overruled. 

She went on holiday with her parents to north Wales. On August 24 she wrote Norman a letter – ‘a silly letter all about my rabbits, and the walking stick that I was going to get for him to thrash his wife with’, she recorded in her diary – but he was never to read it. 

The next morning she received a telegram telling her that he was gravely ill. That afternoon he died of leukaemia, before she could go to see him.

She wrote later in her diary, ‘I am quite glad now I was not in time, I should only have cried and upset him, and I am sure he would have sent for me if he had wanted me.’ 

Following his death, she spent much of her time alone at Hill Top, a small farm ion the picturesque village Sawrey in the Lake District, bought with the proceeds of a legacy and the royalties from her books. 

In 1913 she married her solicitor, William Heelis, and spent the last 30 years of her life extending her farm and breeding Herdwick sheep. 

The home and its land was later bequeathed to the National Trust. 

As well as her love for writing and painting, Potter also closely studied fungi - even writing a paper on spore germination that was read before nature experts at the Linnean Society in 1897. 

Beatrix Potter died on December 22, 1943, aged 77.

Turn and face the strange changes

“What you have to understand is, I have two lodestones, Ted and David Bowie, and at any given moment, it’s hard to say which is better suited to a world infested with zombies,” Beard said quite conversationally, as if they were making small talk at a small sort of place, like the produce section of a bodega or the snacks table at a PTA meeting, if Lauren’s descriptions of the latter venue were held to be accurate. “Also, I’m an ex-con.”

“Also?” Grace said.

“Ex-con?” Joel said. He narrowed his eyes, but Grace could tell that Beard’s disclosure was something Joel considered as a possible asset as much as a strike against the man.

“Who’s David Bowie? Is he related to Ted?” Ellie asked. She’d been hanging out at the other end of the mess hall, around the resurrected foosball table, which was why they’d started having what Grace would have called an “adult conversation” but now all bets were off.

“Oh, you sweet summer child,” Beard said.

“She didn’t know Linda Ronstadt either,” Joel offered.

“To be fair, there’s a good chance Ellie wouldn’t have known either without cordyceps or Fedra,” Grace said.

“I’m here, you don’t have to talk about me in the third person like I’m not,” Ellie said.

“Sorry,” Grace replied. Neither of the men appeared to be bothered by her remark.

“Whatever,” Ellie said and walked away, more a lope than a stalk, which was likely motivated more by Ellie sighting Araceli and Meg than by Grace’s apology, but Grace wasn’t about to argue with the relative lack of teen vitriol. She knew Ellie’s intermittent snappish retorts about inconsequential things were a good sign, that it meant she was having something that resembled a normal adolescence, but it could be exhausting and certainly Grace herself would never have been allowed to speak to her parents or any elder relative the way Ellie did.

“I’m only alive because of Ted,” Beard said. “I wouldn’t have left England except for him, but Jane and I weren’t speaking and he was so damn worried about Henry—”

“His boy,” Joel said. He didn’t mention Jane because he wouldn’t have wanted to be asked about Tess, Grace thought. Or maybe it was because Grace was sitting next to him, his arm draped across the back of her chair, and as often as not, she slept in one of his tee-shirts, while Jane was beyond any reach, any sea rendered uncrossable, even if she’d escaped infection and survived the aftermath. It was easier to talk about Henry, with Ellie laughing across the room with her friends.

“We didn’t find him,” Beard said. “Been looking for years. Jackson’s a breather for us, if you will.”

“Ted won’t give up hope,” Grace said.

“No. He has. He humors me, so we keep searching. We spent a few weeks with a Shakespeare rep troupe outside Chicago because we’d heard they had a young kid with them, but turned out to be a girl,” Beard said. “I would have made a fetching Mustardseed, but they were pretty invested in Hamlet. At least it wasn’t Lear, for Ted’s sake.”

“Why do you do it?” Grace asked.

“Because Ted won’t make it otherwise,” Joel said surprising Grace. Beard nodded and suddenly looked old and a little wise. Grace really hoped he wasn’t going to pivot and tell them how to make toilet wine. Have a little faith, dead-Lauren said. She had a soft spot for Beard, largely because of his willingness to read every Maeve Binchy in the Jackson library, alternating with their far more meager collection of Neo-Platonists.

“Ted’s broken,” Beard said, his lisp more pronounced, as if he were speaking some truth that required his purest voice to utter. “If he doesn’t have someone to push him and coax him and hell, coach him to keep going, he’ll stop. Lie down and die. He won’t ever let a friend down, so if I say we should keep looking, that there’s still a chance to find Henry, he won’t argue. He goes along and I go along and it’s something like a life. Sometimes it’s just the two of us and sometimes we find some people like yourselves to rest a while with.”

“How long do you plan to stay?” Joel asked. It was a good question and he asked it in a way that made Grace wonder about his own plans. Whether Jackson was home or Ellie or the three of them. Whether Jackson was a refuge or a pit-stop.

There was always the question of Ellie’s arm, about the potential she held within her, and what it would take to release it. At least, it was a question for Grace. She was pretty sure Joel had answered it for himself, in a way he could never risk altering.

“The truth is, of course, that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time,” Beard said. Once upon a time, this man had coached a professional sport team. It boggled the mind.

“Bowie,” Joel said. Beard smiled as broadly as Grace had ever seen him.

“But really, how long?” Grace pressed.

“Well, you don’t serve regular English tea in your coffee-house,” Beard began.

“No one can get it anymore,” Grace said. Protested? Was she trying to encourage them? Are you? dead-Lauren said. They’re a pair of odd ducks but then, that’s all that’s left.

Joel said nothing, stone-faced as he was wont to be when something mattered too much or not at all.

“You mistake me, milady,” Beard replied. “It’s a point in your favor. Ted hates English tea. Won’t drink the stuff to save his life, which has never actually been a situation we’ve found ourselves in, but I’m still confident of the outcome. He’s less offended by the herbal tisanes and the chicory and he likes the cider. You’re short on mulling spices but who isn’t these days?”

“Who indeed?” Joel said, playing it straight, making Beard laugh.

“I knew you had it in you, friend,” Beard said. “You can call me Willis, but don’t let it get around. There’s an urban legend I’m trying to nurture about being called Beard since I was born—”

“How can you start an urban legend these days?” Grace asked.

“With impunity. Fedra helps,” Beard answered.

“How?” Joel said.

“They told so many lies, people’ll believe anything, especially if it’s inconsequential and reminds them of when the world wasn’t this version of shithole hellscape,” Beard said. “We all do our part.”

♒️ Aquarius the Water-bearer: January 21-February 19

“To the usual observer, those born under the sign of the Water Bearer may seem, well, not quite normal. This air sign is marked by genius, unorthodox behavior, and sometimes just plain weirdness. They may seem like visitors from the future- or another planet.

Aquarians are acute thinkers, coming up with ideas of real genius, often ahead of their time. They can become fixated, however, and turn the more stubborn than any tourists. But, like all air signs, they are quite sociable. It’s possible for them to retain friendships even with those with whom they disagreed deeply.”

@nuri148 thanks for the tag, linda 💕☺️

I'm not very good at sorting my preferences, so I don't think I can do a "top 10" thing either. Here goes:

10 films that I love (in no particular order!)

The One I Love (2014): a troubled couple rents a summer house as part of a couple's therapy experience. The name of the movie in Portuguese is very romcom-y, something like "Complications of Love" so when I saw it on TV I thought it was just a rom-com, and BOY WAS I WRONG! This one is definitely a wild ride and, to this day, I still don't know if I love it or am just really disturbed by it. 

Arrival (2016): aliens arrive on earth and a linguist tries to learn how to communicate with them. This movie is very dear to my heart, not only for the overall quality and amazing turns but because it is a bit of a twist in science fiction. I'm so used to sci-fi movies revolving solely around STEM, it's refreshing to see one centered on human sciences.

Nope (2022): science fiction meets horror meets western. This movie is definitely unique and so well done, from the screenplay to the acting and the PHOTOGRAPHY, not to mention the symbolism. As Isabela Boscov said, Nope has as many layers as the viewer (no pun intended) wants to dig for. It's a gift that keeps on giving. I've seen it three times since its release, and I'm ready for a fourth.

Interstellar (2014): eye-opening, mind-blowing, heart-shattering. Time really is relative because these three hours feel like mere minutes! 

Bridget Jones's Diary (2001): I'm a sucker for a good romantic comedy, and Bridget Jones's Diary has the best elements of the genre: a relatable protagonist? Check! Compelling plot (pride and prejudice retelling)? Check! Ridiculous moments? Check! The movie is FUN like few are. 

Peter Pan (2003): this is a childhood favorite. I watched this version of Peter Pan every day for like a year when I was younger. I used to dream about leaving everything behind and going to Neverland, swimming in an ocean of stars (escapism much?)

The Pacifier (2005): Another childhood film! Vin Diesel, a US Navy Agent, is assigned to protect (read: babysit) the children of a government scientist. I don't have an explanation for this, except for IT'S FUN! I rented the DVD at least 20 times! 

Music and Lyrics (2007): have I mentioned I'm a sucker for romantic comedies? This one has an unusual setting and pairs two actors I really like, Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, but the best part is the music! I love this soundtrack, especially "PoP! Goes my heart" and "Way Back into Love".

Twilight (2008): I was twelve when I first read the book and watched the movie, and it was my first contact with fandom, so this already makes Twilight very dear to me. But this movie also has such vibes! Whenever it's rainy, I find myself craving that atmosphere, missing the soundtrack and that weird blue filter. Idk, it just takes me back to simpler times.

Pride & Prejudice (2005): such a lovely adaptation! There's something so charming about this movie that makes me want to watch it again whenever I see a gifset on Tumblr (which is pretty often lol).

Some of these are childhood favorites I haven't seen in a while, so I don't know how well they hold up today.

@this-is-krikkit @scienter @a-king-named-lear I would love to hear about your favorite films, but only If you wish to participate. This is a 100% pressure-free tag 😉

Headcanons de las familias de sge

Ok, se que muchos pueden no ser descendientes de personajes cuentos famosos , kiko y Hort por ejemplo, se deja en claro que sus padres no tiene cuento ... pero , sería más interesante un mundo alterno donde todos son descendientes de cuentos famosos

Anadil de lear

Ok, headcanon de Anadil, diré que no tengo muchas pruebas , pero igual en mi cabeza es canon, y hasta que se me diga lo contrario, seguiré creyendo esto

El cuento del rey de lear es una historia de Shakespeare, leí una de estas versiones hace años, era una vercion de cuentos muy linda donde una de las hermanas me recordó a Anadil, y si bien es cierto que esto no es prueba de nada , me sigue gustando pensar eso

básicamente es la historia de un rey que destierra a la única hija que lo ama, favoreciendo a las otras 2 , esta se casa con un rey y termina cuidando a su padre , las familias de las hermanas (en la vercion que leí fueron los esposos) por x o y razón terminan invadiendo el reino , matan al esposo de la hija buena , encierran a su hermana y padre en el calabozo, y ella muere en los brazos de su padre

...ahora, esta es una historia donde gana el mal, a si que es probable que sea de antes de la guerra, realmente no tengo argumentos para decir que sea decendiente de estas mujeres , pero la idea me gusta

Yara hood / mermaid

Ok, con Yara tengo problemas para escoger , por un lado , la idea de que sea familiar de robin hood, o mínimo de alguno de su bando es tentador

Talvez sea porque siempre imaginé a robin hood pelirrojo (y no soy la única), además de que es parte del folklore inglés, igual que el padre de su mejor amigo Tedros, talvez se conocieron en algún punto

Y la idea de que su hermano se monaguillo parece hacer una referencia al fraile tuck , a si que el que estén emparentados con estos no es tan mala idea

Pero, analizando buen su historia (maldito tropo de las personas queer muerta ), es curioso como tiene parecidos con la historia de la sirenita (Anya en los libros)

Como los cambios físicos (la sirenita de especie y yara de expresión de género), en las 2 hay alianza de un villano (Sader y la bruja del mar ), ninguna puede hablar, y las 2 acaban falleciendo al final, además de que como tristan mostró cambiar por recibir atención positiva (igual la sirenita), cuando se pone el pelo rubio por Beatrix

Además, es curioso como el propio autor insinúa una relación con alguien que es mitad sirena , en este caso Kiko

Reena de shahriar

Ok, se que a si no se llama el reino , pero hey, no conocemos a su madre , y su reino parece estar inspirada en cuentos de las mil y una noches (Aladdin, los cuarenta ladrones, etc )

A si que la idea de que sea decendiente de la princesa de las mil y una noches , por lado materno , podría ser una gran idea

Kiko pan

Si,se nos dice que su padre es un niño perdido x , pero , la idea de que sea criada por el niño que nunca creció, siendo el resultado de sus muchas aventuras (lean el libro), podría ser interesante

Hort hook

Si, se que los libros nos dicen otra cosa , pero que haya sido hijo del capitán hook tiene implicaciones interesantes, a si que lo dejaremos en este headcanon

Sophie y Agatha

Ok, se que son lectores , pero si pudiera escoger con que personajes de cuentos tienen relación, sería Blancanieves y la reina malvada

Seamos justos, Tedros y Calis podrían no ser los únicos en irse del bosque, talvez un decendiente de estos pudo llegar gavaldon, Stefan siendo decendiente de Blancanieves, y Vanessa de la reina malvada

Que de hecho, noto cierto parecido entre Agatha (que es la más parecida a Vanessa), con Catherine, la reina malvada de este mundo

Tenemos cosas como la vanidad se Sophie, y como a veces se describe la piel de Agatha como "blanca como la nieve "

[the-birds-and-their-bones]

I have a slight problem with this excerpt- although it’s true that global contamination and pollution and pesticides are still a major problem, I think this is kind of defeatist. Remember, Bald Eagles and Ospreys (and lots of others but those are the ones I know the most about off the top of my head) were driven nearly to extinction because of DDT. Now, because of restoration efforts, Eagles and Ospreys are back. They’re not common, but they’re not teetering on the brink of eradication. There are hundreds of nesting pairs instead of a few dozen. And acknowledging that is just as important as acknowledging we still have a shitload of work to do.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Hank Ballard, Brand X’s 1977 LP LIVESTOCK, Jake Brockman (Echo & the Bunnymen), film composer Carter Burwell, Michael Carabello (Santana), trumpeter-bandleader Don Cherry, Imogene Coca, Linda Evans, Fabolous, composer-violist Lillian Fuchs, Kirk Hammett, Mexican Golden Age actor-singer Pedro Infante, Amanda Lear, Cherokee activist Wilma Mankiller, Paul McCartney’s 1985 single “Spies Like Us,” Metallica’s 1997 RELOAD album, Jeramy Mohler, Eugene Ormandy, Graham Parker, John Parr, Herman Rarebell (Scorpions), Cindy Blackman Santana, Rudy Sarzo, Compay Segundo, Duncan Sheik, astronaut Alan Sheperd, the 1930 Fred Astaire/Bob Hope musical SMILES, Howard Thurman, Shania Twain’s 2002 UP! album, Brenda Vaccaro, J.C. Watts, Kim Wilde, Owen Wilson, and the Great American singer-songwriter Johnny Mercer. 

Among his many hit songs are now-standards such as “Autumn Leaves” and “Moon River”—all told he wrote lyrics for 1500 published songs. Besides winning many awards, he co-founded Capitol Records, the first “indie label” of the 20th Century not dependent on the film industry or other corporate interests. Mercer was one of those fabled “napkin writers,” meaning he’d grab any scrap of paper handy, throw down lyrics, then have a demo ready within hours. “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive” was inspired by a sermon he heard on the radio. Normally he’d pitch the song to other singers but it was perfect for his voice. His recording was a Top 10 hit and has been used in several films. Here’s my take—I’ve grown fond of it and it’s a touchstone of my “assisted living home set.”

Peter Tolan Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson

Oh please! That was just too much fun. Nirvana for this fan girl to catch up with 14-time Emmy Nominee, and two-time winner, Peter Tolan. In the midst of a Rescue Me re-binge, if you've never seen it or it's been years, do not pass go, run. Please. Brilliant, real, hysterical, terrifying, it's perfect TV. In my all-time top 5.

Peter, bless him, is opinionated and fearless in recounting people, events, and choices, which makes for great conversation and interweb TV. 

We started with his recent collaboration with Norman Lear, Guess Who Died, which did just that. With that loaded deck, it’s crazy that NBC pulled the plug. But, it dealt with older folk… who wants to represent them. Us. Hmmm. 

We talked his early days in theatre, sketch, cabaret, his early collaborations, a running theme throughout his career… from Linda Wallem, Garry Shandling, Dennis Leary, Billy Crystal, Paul Reiser, and the before mentioned Norman Lear, the man keeps good company. He earns it… and demands it. Breaking almost every rule, from his first spec script landing him a staff writing gig on that very show, unheard of, to getting producing credit before he earned it, an unearned Emmy as he calls it… to earning every one of those other 13 nods, and the nest Emmy Statue he took home. 

Fascinating, fun conversation about Carole Burnet, Murphy Brown, getting The Larry Sanders Show, connecting on The Job, creating and making Rescue Me, Analyze This with an intimidating Robert DeNiro, the Mad About You update, Helen Hunt, and the creative crisis Peter found himself in, just pre-pandemic, when two of his babies were thrown out with the bathwater. 

All-in-all, a lotta laughs, of course, there were… look at the man’s credits… a lot of insight, intelligence, and clarity. Damn, I had a good time. Enough of this, I have Season 3 episode 10 waiting for me.

I was tagged by @eirenical

Last song: In the Middle by Dodie

Last movie: like eirenical, if a bootleg of a musical counts, then it's a boot of Jesus Christ Superstar in 2013, with all Hungarian actors (Pontius Pilate was unfairly hot!!) Thank you to @all-mimsy for joining me! If that doesn't count then my last movie was... a film of Jesus Christ Superstar from 2000

Currently watching: I'm technically in the middle of the Globe Theater Julius Caesar, and also technically in the middle of the National Theater Live King Lear, both of which have Luke Thompson in them, my beloved boy with the gorgeous smile. However, what I'm about to be watching in the immediate future is... a bootleg of Jesus Christ Superstar from Salerno, Italy in 2016.

Currently reading: I just finished a book called One for the Murphys, by Linda Mullaly Hunt, which is about a girl who ends up living with a foster family after an event puts her and her mother in the hospital and is determined to hate it, but grows to care for them, and then her life is rearranged again unexpectedly. Before that it was SisterSong, by Lucy Holland, which is about a British king and his three children, defending against the Saxons and featuring bigender Merlin and a very cool magic system. I loved it a lot and will be reading it again.

Currently listening to: A playlist I found called "songs to worship dionysus to" but before that it was a playlist i made called "Move While You Still See Me," about how Judas and Mary Magdalene are foils.

Current obsession: I can't imagine what I'm obsessed with currently, it's a mystery.

If you've been tagged above or would just like to do this, than consider yourself tagged!

To sense this world of waters known to the creatures of the sea we must shed our human perceptions of length and breadth and time and place, and enter vicariously into a universe of all-pervading water. For to the sea's children nothing is so important as the fluidity of their world. It is water that they breathe; water that brings them food; water through which they see, by filtered sunshine from which first the red rays, then the greens, and finally the purples have been strained; water through which they sense vibrations equivalent to sound. And indeed it is nothing more or less than sea water, in all its varying conditions of temperature, saltiness, and pressure, that forms the invisible barriers that confine each marine type within a special zone of life –one to the shore line, another to some submarine chasm on the far slopes of the continental shelf, and yet another, perhaps, to an imperceptibly defined stratum at mid-depths of ocean.

OTD in 1300, the Italian poet Dante Alighieri found himself lost in a dark forest, his path blocked by three beasts. And you won’t believe what happened next. 

This initial and opening tercet is from the beautiful 1921 Bremer Presse edition of the Divine Comedy. It is set in Subiaco type, an early 20th century revival by the Ashendene Press of the first typeface used in Italy, which skillfully blended rounded Gothic and distinct upright Roman letterforms. The Bremer Presse, founded in 1911 was inspired by the English Arts and Crafts movement’s transformation of the book into an art form. Unlike some of their English counterparts, the Bremer Presse avoided illustration, marginal flourishes, and other ornamentation to focus on quality type, paper, and binding.
