Why 18th-Century Queer History Matters
[homophobia cw]
I learned early on that that sex worker and LGBTQ+ rights are linked, but as usual, I didn't realize how far back that history stretched.
It is poignant to learn we have always seen each other as community. This article is about the queer community building social spaces for themselves in 18th-century England. The queer community and sex workers naturally gravitated to each other. We were all criminalized for a reason.
I think of the fight against FOSTA-SESTA (2018); Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson founding and maintaining STAR with earnings from sex work (1970); and seeking each other out to form a safe space in the 1700s. That's over 300 years of solidarity.
The reasons we were arm in arm 300 years ago haven't changed much. How similar does this - 17 raids from 1726-27 in England - sound to the raids that were regular occurrences in NYC in the 1960s, 200+ years later? How similar does this sound to where we might be going?
The other thing I take away from this: The more I learn, the more I realize I was denied in history class. Queer-only spaces were common enough to be their own category in 1709. 1709! I never want to hear anyone imply we sprang into existence in 1969 ever again.
Ending this post with this quote on found family. Do you ever cry thinking about our queer ancestors who built community in a society that wanted to legislate them out of existence? I do.

From the upcoming chapter of when the sun shine, we shine together:
“Son of a bitch!” Ned stormed back into the studio moments later, apparently having heard enough of the song to get an idea of what Jaime had done. He glared at Petyr. “I’m out.”
“Ned!” Catelyn exclaimed. “You know the boys are counting on you.”
“There are fifty other things I can do to raise money for the refuge. Polar plunges. More rubber chicken dinners. Telethons. Anything else. I must have been mad to let Benjen and Brandon goad me into this.”
Technically speaking, Jaime had goaded them into accepting on Ned’s behalf, but Brienne was curious what had convinced Ned to go along with them. He could’ve kept on refusing.
“If they want the money so bad, let one of them do it. Brandon’s got a little bit of celebrity ever since he was on that reality show last year, and he’s got history with Jaime as well. He’d probably do a strip number with that.”
#dee writes things#the Umbrella story#brienne of tarth#jaime lannister#jaime x brienne#featuring the Starks!!#and unfortunately Littlefinger#ugh#tune in this week to find out what's upset Ned so much#but if you bet on it being Jaime#you would be correct

The idea that a video game plot is “an insult to your intelligence” is so dramatic lol.
It’s okay to not vibe with something! You can just say that! Not everything is out to personally make you feel stupid.

Sometimes I forget how I primarily reblog kpop/lotr stuff, and then I reblog something way on the other side of the spectrum of my interests, and I feel like I'm popping into that person's notifs going "Sorry, pardon me, just passing through, don't mind me-"

I miss the days of sneaking around, dressed in the guise of a young man and getting up to all sorts of mischief. Oh how the times do change.

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"
Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.
imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws
#tintin#adventures of tintin#comic#captain haddock#archibald haddock#snowy#milou#fanart#the crab with the golden claws#i remember tintin crafting a trumpet to communicate with an elephant#and he remarks he must get the accent correct#very odd scenario but it shows he would be a stickler for that sort of thing#i also have to say accents do not indicate how smart someone is#a lot of pundits use an english accent to sound more credible#but i have to say there are a lot of fucking idiots here#me included#thank you 2011 film for validating my scottish haddock headcanon#any french speakers who have read to this point i wonder what your hcs are for his french speaking accent

i love it when individual people do callbacks which are cheeky references to actors' previous work during performances of the rocky horror show because like, it takes creativity and mental preparation and also getting the timing quite right and it's borderline stressful - meanwhile it's all in the service of maybe experiencing a rush of adrenaline from an actor calling you a wanker
it's so unhinged and i'm obsessed
#if you were wondering#if this was a reference to that one person who in response to 'and what further indignities were they to be subjected to?'#said 'gold blend ads' with perfect projection#during the 40th anniversary playhouse show#you would be correct#because like#that guy (?) had no way of knowing which of the guest narrators would do which part#they had like 40 seconds to come up with that and they were CONFIDENT#yes i guess they could've been planted but where is your sense of whimsy?#also can you tell that the intersection of rocky horror and anthony head is the only reason i'm alive right now#and i actually did see that production live like a week later so i'm emotionally attached to that recording#even though o'brien did make some *comments* in the meantime#and fry is a fucking zionist#so it does sour it a bit for me#anyway#rhs#the rocky horror show#rocky horror 40th anniversary

tbh y'all get too caught up in the idea of like. whether someone is ""genuinely"" experiencing a certain -ism or -phobia aimed at them if they are not genuinely part of that group. as if it matters. as if a guy getting attacked for holding another man's hand has actually ever had sex with another man or if he actually is married to a woman like it literally does not make a difference. he is a victim of homophobia in actual reality in the actual world. stop being pedantic and drawing little circles around words and realize that people are getting fucked over regardless.
#queer#people caught in the crossfires are also victims. full stop.#like it does not matter if the perpetrator WOULD back off if corrected and go ''oh sorry i didnt mean you''#because the damage is DONE

The leftism/anticapitalism leaving people's bodies the zeptosecond you imply that disabled people who aren't "productive" still matter in society and need to be treated like intrinsic equals who have a place in this world:
#disability#disability advocacy#described images#image description in alt#ableism#ableism tw#my full-time job is my disability and you're lucky that i am still 'productive' as-is#your boss doesn't care that you think you're superior for being hired by them. they're still going to treat you like profit machines#it astounds me how people will capitulate for oppression because they place their intrinsic value in their ability to be at the top...#...or at least 'at the top' compared to others. it's the same impulse that makes people think their cisgender status makes them superior...#...you are placing your worth into systems which not only oppress others but offer you no true sense of worth...#...ESPECIALLY if you're also being exploited (even if just a bit)...#...you have a job sure but... do you actually get treated like a human being? are you actually paid? are you actually safe?...#...if the answer to any of those questions and more is 'no' then why do you place your value in capitalistic production. genuinely.#and why would you DEMAND disabled people to have the same exploitation you experience. why do you DEMAND productivity if you are proletaria#yes being a leftist and anticapitalist are linked but. some people still internalize capitalism without questioning it#being a leftist is about challenging that rather than assuming you're correct i think#also scientists were very silly when describing time that's like. less than a millisecond i think
