Duane Kearns Puryear, holding his panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It reads, in block letters: "My name is Duane Kearns Puryear. I was born on December 20, 1964. I was diagnosed with AIDS on September 7, 1987 at 4:45 PM. I was 22 old. Sometimes, it makes me very sad. I made this panel myself. If you are reading it, I am dead..." There are several great resources to learn about Duane, his advocacy, his family, his panel, and the politics of memory and re-creation, especially this one by The Dallas Way: http://www.thedallasway.org/stories/written/2021/9/19/duane-puryears-and-the-quilt-panel Duane Puryear died in 1991.
It's your birthday, Duane.

And did absolutely nothing to stop them.

A brilliant thread if you want to despair even more at the incompetence and stupidity of our civic leaders
It would be very hard to really do a comprehensive comp for Sabu and what he meant to wrestling back in the day. It's a great comp although I got side tracked by other watch projects. It's a really nice way to dip into other scenes as he really did hop about lots
Shut up and grab a spade. This is our moment.
I have never read anything quite so _French_ in all my life
No one on earth screams middle management quite as much as this clueless dickhead
Rocked around Paris on an unplanned trip and fell in love with this painting by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
Flying to Paris and there is a lass getting on this plane whose only hand luggage is a 36 pack of walkers and I have never respected someone more in my whole life
Such a brilliant story this
Steve the Donkeys with the classic "that doesn't work for me brother"
1) Kick out people who are knobheads and ban 'em
2) A primer for any ongoing story lines pre show. Promo video if a promotion can afford it. A simple side of A4 will suffice.
3) If I book seats together, I expect to be able to sit next to my mates without queuing up.
What was number 27?
I read this a month or two ago and would thoroughly recommend it.
Ambitious in its scope for sure but I learned a lot and plenty of dry humour that kept me entertained.
Whole show was fun.
Thoroughly enjoyed my annual Crazy Lovers match. Same time next year lads
This one got censored by bluesky.
I'll live with eager moderation over Nazis anyday though
Opening tag with Ryo Inoue/Jumonji Vs Astronauts is a lovely bit of business.
Ryo has had such a good year. He is really starting to put it all together in both his character and in ring work.

I have watched a fair bit and Futen is my favourite ever promotion for what little we have of it so looking forward to getting into the weeds of Battlarts

I appreciate the Labour Party not hanging about and immediately getting into sleeze scandals.
Yeah, this Sabu compilation rocks. Starts with a cool little match against (pre) RVD in Memphis and clips of a wild tag against JEFF and then we are over to Japan someone has got a little too enthastic with the petrol for the fire on the ropes and now here comes Cactus Jack for a match in the NWC
It's the most magical time of the year.
My @ivpvideos.bsky.social sale package dropped through the letter box
Because I was in awe that anything ever could be as good as what was unfolding before my eyes.
It was the emotion and exhaustion of the wrestlers as they left everything in the ring, not so much as to win but to not lose.
Which thumb though?
