LYNETTE FROMME 'Squeaky'
SQUEAKY
Lynette Fromme
MANSON FAMILY
1948
In 1972, Squeaky travelled with a group of friends to meet James Craig and Lauren Willet at a cabin. Her companion, Michael Monfort forced Craig to dig his own grave and shot him. Monfort believed Craig was going to to tell the authorities about a series of robberies.
            Squeaky and her cohorts were arrested and Craig and Willet’s body was found. Willet’s baby daughter was found alive inside the cabin.
            Squeaky was released due to lack of evidence, however, the rest of her group were all found guilty and convicted.
            Squeaky and her best friend Sandra Good (also a Manson member) moved into an apartment together. They created a religion dedicated to Manson, wearing robes, Squeaky was nicknamed ‘Red’ and Sandra was nicknamed ‘Blue’, these nicknames allegedly given to them by Manson.
            In 1979, whilst in prison, Squeaky had to be transferred for attacking an inmate with a claw-end of a hammer. She was later given parole and released in 2009 and then lived with her boyfriend Robert who had allegedly killed someone in 1988. They decorated their home with skulls. Her boyfriend wasn’t originally a follower of Manson, but has admiration for him.
            When Manson died in 2017, Squeaky admitted she still loves him.

Infamous assassins
Tumblr media
Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme
Gerald Ford, 38th President of the United States, came close to death in Sacramento, California, in 1975, when 24-year-old Lynette “Squeaky” Page, a devotee of Charles Manson, brandished a pistol during one of his public appearances. Secret Service agents detained her before she could fire, but she was nonetheless sentenced to life in prison.

Out of all assassins from titular musical who do you think is the "most sympathetic" and the "most worst"?
oooh that's a really really good question. setting aside personal opinion for the moment (i'll get to it promise!), one thing i find interesting about assassins is that it doesn't necessarily ask us to sympathize with the characters, but just to consider them as they're presented to us and sit with whatever conclusions we draw from that on our own.
that being said the show does present some as more sympathetic than others imo. (there's no such thing as an unbiased narrative, no matter how hard you try!) for example czolgosz is never directly condemned by the balladeer unlike, say, booth (kind of balancing the audience's immediate resistance to a character like booth). it also neutralizes oswald quite a bit by taking away his agency in the actual assassination, which i think is a very intentional way to let the audience relate to him in that final scene.
anyways! so who do i think is the most/least sympathetic in the show? i'd say the "worst" is booth because he's purely ideologically motivated by hatred. aside from whether you think he was mentally ill in real life, as a character he's presented as sane, if a little unhinged. someone like guiteau, who's obviously not in his right mind, can be pitied. but booth? he's calculated and manipulative and even aside from the assassination he spends most of the show being a total asshole. (but he's very very entertaining while doing it lol)
as for my most sympathetic? lynette squeaky fromme. no, seriously.
because the thing about assassins, as i mentioned earlier, is that we as the audience aren't necessarily meant to make moral judgements. we're meant to consider the assassins as people like us.
if i was taking "sympathetic" to mean the most morally justifiable, or if we were talking in terms of real life rather than fiction, i'd say czolgosz (or even one of the assassins who was obviously mentally ill and unable to make moral decisions). but the point of assassins is not to morally justify the characters. it's to see ourselves in the characters. and that's meant to scare us.
i see myself in squeaky. i feel for her! even though she's largely a comic character, she's a poignant one. she's desperately lonely and insecure. at her core, she's still a frightened teenage girl who wants above all things to be loved. that's what i sympathize with. but she's willing to do awful things to get that love. and that's what scares me.
the great thing about assassins is it doesn't force you to sympathize with these people, but it gives you permission to. it can show you the parts of yourself that you don't normally want to look at, and that's a powerful thing to see if you let it.

2020 a ruling allows Hinckley to showcase his artistic work under his own name
2022 all restrictions on Hinckley are lifted
2023 Tumblr user posts about Hinckley's artwork
Le Samouraï is the basis of the Loner Male movie genre and lead to Ronald Reagan being shot. You can continue the legacy of Le Samouraï by missing the point of of the genre. Do toxic masculinity, it's very cool* and you can be just like Arthur Bremer, Travis Bickle, John Hinckley Jr., and Mr. The Joker.

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY
based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more …
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1939 – Bette Bourne, born Peter Bourne, is a British actor, drag queen and equal rights activist.
Born Peter Bourne in Hackney, east London, he made his stage debut at the age of four as one of the members of Madame Behenna and her Dancing Children. Encouraged to take part in amateur dramatics by his mother, he chose a career in the theatre at 16, working backstage at the Garrick Theatre, London.
He studied drama at Central School of Speech and Drama in London and went on to act on stage and on television throughout the 1960s. He appeared in TV series such as The Avengers and The Prisoner, and in 1969, he appeared alongside Sir Ian McKellen in a touring double bill of Christopher Marlowe's Edward II and Shakespeare's Richard II.
In the 1970s, he put his acting career on hold to become an activist with the Gay Liberation Front, becoming part of a gay commune in London. It was during this period that he started wearing drag and changed his name to "Bette".
In 1976, he joined the New York-based gay cabaret group, the Hot Peaches, performing with them in Europe, culminating in a show at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. When this group went back to New York, Bourne formed his own troupe, Bloolips. Featuring songs such as Let's Scream Our Tits Off, the shows were mostly written by playwright John Taylor with titles like Lust in Space and The Ugly Duckling. He toured the UK and the rest of Europe throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, winning an Obie Award (Off Broadway Theater Award) for the New York production of Lust in Space.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1972 – Matthew Rush is a bi-racial American gay pornographic film actor, magazine model, and a bodybuilder and personal trainer. He has competed at the Gay Games in Amsterdam and Sydney, Australia.
Rush was under a lifetime exclusive pornographic career contract with Falcon Studios that ended in 2009 so he could pursue other projects in the pornographic industry. His first post-Falcon project was a pornographic video and photo shoot with photographer Jon Royce on January 22, 2009.
Rush is a powerful top in many of his film roles, but he can also perform as a vocal bottom. His first post-Falcon porn shoot was with Pantheon Productions in San Francisco on January 23, 2009. In the film, titled Brief Encounters (Real Men, Vol. 17), Rush played a nasty son that "flip-flopped" with hairy daddy Tim Kelly. Rush's career was revitalized when he joined the website MenOver30.com in 2009. His easy going attitude and versatility has resulted with him receiving the 2010 Grabby Award and GayVN Award in the category "Best Versatile Performer".
Rush has appeared in the TV detective film Third Man Out, starring Chad Allen, and in the motion picture Another Gay Movie. From 2002 to 2005, he acted in a traveling stage production of Ronnie Larsen's Making Porn.
His retirement from the pornographic industry, announced in October 2011, was short lived when he returned to making pornographic films in January 2012.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1975 – On this date Oliver Sipple saved President Gerald Ford's life.
Sara Jane Moore attempted to assassinate U.S. President Gerald Ford outside the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, just seventeen days after Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme had also tried to kill the president. Moore was 40 feet away from Ford when she fired a single shot at him. The bullet missed the President because bystander Oliver Sipple grabbed Moore's arm and then pulled her to the ground, using his hand to keep the gun from firing a second time. Sipple said at the time: "I saw [her gun] pointed out there and I grabbed for it. I lunged and grabbed the woman's arm and the gun went off."
Sipple, a decorated Marine and Vietnam War veteran, was immediately commended by the police and the Secret Service for his action at the scene. The news media portrayed Sipple as a hero. Though he was known to be Gay by various fellow members of the Gay community, Sipple had not made this public, and his sexual orientation was a secret from his family. He requested the press did not report this. Several days later Herb Caen, a columnist at The San Francisco Chronicle, exposed Sipple as a Gay man and a friend of Harvey Milk.

show-and-tell time baby bc this is one of my favorite things I’ve ever owned. my partner got me a letter that Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme—attempted assassin of president ford and “mother” of the Manson family—wrote to a friend while in prison in 1998.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
my hands were actually shaking reading this. I cannot believe I have this AND that she writes about Manson in it for like a third of the letter (it’s continued on the back of that 2nd page).
she is such an important figure in my life, I can’t even begin to explain it. like I have a tattoo for her. this is my girl. I can’t wait to frame this and put it up on my wall.
THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL.
(putting transcripts of my fave parts under the cut)
Tumblr media
“I don’t have the [Hamlet] quote right. Manson does it well. He memorized Shakespeare as it was read to him. But I have no idea how he is now. He memorized those things 40 or 50 years ago. Now he’s a different guy. Same, but different. He just keeps moving on. He had a job to do, doesn’t let what people think get in the way. I may not like it at the time, but I like that. I like to be centered like that. I like the understanding it brings.”
Tumblr media
“Dogs were brought in to [Federal Correctional Institution] Marianna one day for us to see, and cats one day but we don’t get to care for them. Feds don’t do that. They’re afraid of getting sued. People have sued them for everything. People are stupid. Or maybe it’s people who think of the effects that are stupid. People are selfish. Thats an absolute.”

Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme
SQUEAKY
Lynette Fromme
MANSON FAMILY
1948
            In 1975, Squeaky attempted to meet Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin to warn him of a ‘bad energy’. She was unable to meet him so she gave a note to the bands record company to pass on to him. They burned her letter.
            That same year she went to Sacramento’s Capitol Park dressed as Little Red Riding Hood. She allegedly went there to plead with President Gerald Ford about the concern for the Californian Redwoods. When she was there, she pointed a gun at the president and was restrained by security before the gun went off. Her trial was long and she refused to cooperate with her own defense. She was convicted of attempting to assassinate the president and received a life sentence.
