An amazing being in a black pleather jacket, glitter eye makeup, and a fantastic mohawk being groped in the chestal area by disembodied hands.

Promo shoot of the band Vibralux from Lawrence KS. 4 glammed out fantastical beings in pleather, heels, and studded belts. There's a toy doll floating in the air causing some band members to stare open mouthed.

Came across an old photoshoot with @madzuko.bsky.social and Vibralux from Lawrence, KS back in the day. I think we only had to try once or twice to get the doll in the perfect position. This band had the best after parties.

Queen Victoria's very sick, Prince Albert's got the measles. The children have the whooping cough, And pop! Goes the weasel.

Prince Albert's got the measles.

And pop! Goes the weasel.

100% of Politicians agree with who's funding them.
Scientists often publish all their work they've been paid to produce. Many of those finding do not support the most lucrative opinions. However, corporations and politicians simply cherry pick science the same way they do religion.

As kids Gen-X we were all vaccinated before we were allowed around other people's kids at school.
Do you think it's morally right to subject other people's children to illness because someone refuses to vaccinate? We have years of evidence since the 50s to support vaccination.
Denial is a murderer.

Look to the sky during the superbowl!

She speaks truth.

Melvin Beaunorus Tolson (February 6, 1898 – August 29, 1966) was an American poet, educator, columnist, and politician. As a poet, he was influenced both by Modernism and the language and experiences of African Americans, and he was deeply influenced by his study of the Harlem Renaissance.

DARK SYMPHONY BY MELVIN B. TOLSON I Allegro Moderato BLACK Crispus Attucks taught Us how to die Before white Patrick Henry's bugle breath Uttered the vertical Transmitting ery: 'Yea, give me liberty, or give me death." And from that day to this Men black and strong For Justice and Democracy have stood, Steeled in the faith that Right Will conquer Wrong And Time will usher in one brotherhood. No Banquo's ghost can rise Against us now And say we crushed men with a tyrant's boot, Or pressed the crown of thorns On Labor's brow, Or ravaged lands and carted off the loot. II Lento Grave The centuries-old pathos in our voices Saddens the great white world, And the wizardry of our dusky rhythms Conjures up shadow-shapes of ante-bellum years: Black slaves singing One More River to Cross In the torture tombs of slave-ships, Black slaves singing Steal Away to Jesus In jungle swamps,

DARK SYMPHONY - Tolson continued 315 Black slaves singing The Crucifizion In slave-pens at midnight, Black slaves singing Swing Low, Sweet Chariot In cabins of death, Black slaves singing Go Down, Mовез In the canebrakes of the Southern Pharaohs. III Andante Sostenuto They tell us to forget The Golgotha we tread.. We who are scourged with hate, A price upon our head. They who have shackled us Require of us a song, They who have wasted us Bid us o'erlook the wrong. They tell us to forget Democracy is spurned. They tell us to forget The Bill of Rights is burned. Three hundred years we slaved, We slave and suffer yet: Though flesh and bone rebel, They tell us to forget! Oh, how can we forget Our human rights denied? Oh, how can we forget Our manhood crucified? When Justice is profaned And plea with curse is met, When Freedom's gates are barred, Oh, how can we forget? IV Tempo Primo The New Negro strides upon the continent In seven-league boots.. The New Negro Who sprang from the vigor-stout loins Of Nat Turner, gallows-martyr for Freedom, Of Joseph Cinquez, Black Moses of the Amistad Mutiny,

316 Tolson Continued THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY Of Frederick Douglass, oracle of the Catholic Man, Of Sojourner Truth, eye and ear of Lincoln's legions, Of Harriet Tubman, Saint Bernard of the Underground Railroad. The New Negro Breaks the icons of his detractors, Wipes out the conspiracy of silence, Speaks to his America: My history-moulding ancestors Planted the first crops of wheat on these shores, Built ships to conquer the seven seas, Erected the Cotton Empire, Flung railroads across a hemisphere, Disemboweled the earth's iron and coal, Tunneled the mountains and bridged rivers, Harvested the grain and hewed forests, Sentineled the Thirteen Colonies, Unfurled Old Glory at the North Pole, Fought a hundred battles for the Republic. The New Negro: His giant hands fling murals upon high chambers, His drama teaches a world to laugh and weep, His music leads continents captive, His voice thunders the Brotherhood of Labor, His science creates seven wonders, His Republic of Letters challenges the Negro-baiters. The New Negro, Hard-muscled, Fascist-hating, Democracy-ensouled, Strides in seven-league boots Along the Highway of Today Toward the Promised Land of Tomorrow! V Larghetto None in the Land can say To us black men Today: You send the tractors on their bloody path, And create Okies for The Grapes of Wrath. You breed the slum that breeds a Native Son To damn the good earth Pilgrim Fathers won.

A black and white photo of Sister Rosetta Tharpe playing a guitar. A quote of Tharpe's reads "Can't no man play like me" The quote is attributed to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Godmother of Rock and Roll.

Rock and roll was created by a Black woman — Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

Known as the Godmother of Rock and Roll, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a singer, songwriter, and guitarist who served as inspiration for artists like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. We honor her as we still feel her influence today.

I'm not good at rally cries. So instead I'll post what has effected me the most in my life. Let us not forget the fruit of such carelessness and cruelty.
We must resist in any way we know how.

Shhh ...

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
