Joan Jett-Blakk Campaign Ephemera 1991-92

Joan Jett Blakk, also known as Terence Alan Smith, ran four satirical political campaigns from 1991 to 1999: a 1991 run for mayor of Chicago, her highest-profile 1992 write-in campaign for the presidency with the Queer Nation Party, a 1996 repeat candidacy for the presidency, and finally a 1999 campaign to serve as mayor of San Francisco. The 1992 campaign was satirical and filled with raunchy humor. One of her many campaign slogans: "Elections are a joke--we're making this a good joke." Her platform included hiring Dykes on Bikes to handle national security, and appointing Diana Ross and the other Supremes to the Supreme Court. She also addressed serious issues, including gay rights, abortion rights, drug decriminalization, and universal health care. Her campaigns were the subject of a 2019 play and a 2021 documentary.

― you are terrifying & strange & beautiful ; something NOT EVERYONE knows how to love.

sophie  skelton,  cis  woman,  she/her,  twenty-nine  —  dear  all  nations,  CHLOÉ  FRISEAL  has  crossed  the  city  borders  to  edinburgh  to  the  sound  of  MIRRORBALL  by  TAYLOR  SWIFT.  the  princess  of  scotland  is  known  to  be  in  favor  of  making  peace.  she  reminds  me  of  a  pretty  smile  that  covers  unsavory  words  &  the  kind  of  confidence  that  drives  stuffy  ladies  maids  crazy  however  did  you  know  that  she  has  a  secret  identity  which  she  uses  to  travel  &  see  the  world  ?

character  inspirations:  benedict  bridgerton  (  bridgerton  series  )  ;  natasha  romanov  (  marvel  comics  )  ;  ella  (  enchanted  )  ;  diana  prince  (  dc  comics  )  ;  &  elizabeth  swann  (  pirates  of  the  caribbean  ) 

about / tl;dr :

chloé  grew  up  knowing  the  title  of  queen  would  never  be  hers,  unless  a  lot  of  very  unfortunate  things  happened.  as  such,  she  never  quite  cared  to  "act  like  a  lady."  of  course,  she  cared  what  her  parents  thought  of  her,  and  she'll  usually  still  act  respectful  in  front  of  them,  but  that  won't  stop  her  from  seeing  the  world.   after  the  passing  of  her  mother  ,  the  scottish  king  arranged  chloé’s  betrothal  to  the  eldest  son  of  clan  eskilsen,  she  thinks  he  is  the  literal  worst  &  is  inwardly  kicking  and  screaming  about  it  .  outwardly  ,  she  is  the  picture  of  a  happy  girl  in  love  .  

biography :

TW: mentions abuse & parental death

you  are  never  the  picture  of  a  proper  princess  .  you  look  the  part  ,  of  course  ,  that  much  is  very  clear  .  with  fiery  red  hair  and  delicate  features  ,  you  are  easily  recognizable  as  a  princess  of  the  braveheart  country  .  

you  succeed  two  older  brothers  ,  both  already  have  very  clear  places  in  this  world  :  lachlan  is  the  oldest  ,  the  heir  .  then  ,  there’s  your second oldest brother  ,  a  ‘  plan  b  ’  if  something  were  to  happen  to  lachlan  .  and  then  ,  there  is  you  .  for  three  years  ,  you  are  the  youngest  .  you  were  too  young  to  remember  that  .  finally  ,  there  is  william  ,  the  very  image  of  the  baby  of  a  family  .  you  are  not  the  oldest  ,  not  the  youngest  .  you  are  not  the  most  well  behaved  or  the  most  rebellious  .  you  are  not  the  smartest  or  the  most  charming  .  the  only  thing  you  are  extraordinary  at  is  being  extra  ordinary  .  you  are  wedged  in  the  middle  of  your  family  ,  in  the  middle  of  everything  .  

and  for  a  while  ,  this  is  a  good  thing  .  you  can  slip  through  the  cracks  ,  your  father  has  less  of  an  iron  grip  on  you  ,  and  you  can  follow  your  mother  around  as  you  please  .  your  mother  is  your  favorite  person  in  the  entire  world  .  she  is  singularly  kind  ,  beautiful  ,  and  opinionated  .  other  women  aren’t  like  that  .  she  is  your  biggest  inspiration  in  this  life  ,  and  if  you  were  ever  a  queen  ,  you  would  want  to  be  just  like  her  .  

(  one  night  ,  when  you  are  around  six  ,  she  holds  your  face  in  her  hands  ,  tears  on  your  cheeks  ,  you’ve  never  felt  this  sad  before  –  scolded  by  your  father  for  tearing  up  your  skirts  &  trying  to  play  with  your  brothers  .  stupid  girl  ,  he  had  called  you  .  over  &  over  &  over  again  ,  stupid  girl  ,  stupid  girl  ,  stupid  girl  .  there’s  only  one  way  you  can  think  to  describe  this  feeling  to  her  :  “  mama  ,  it  hurts  everywhere  “  she  gives  you  a  soft  smile  ,  like  there  is  so  much  she  wants  to  tell  you  about  your  father  ,  and  wipes  a  bundle  of  fresh  tears  away  with  her  thumb  “  you  have  done  nothing  wrong  my  angel  .  nothing  at  all  .    ”  if  your  father  is  a  dark  storm  cloud  ,  your  mother  is  a  warm  light  .  you  think,  if  your  mother  were  in  charge,  things  would  be  much  better  .  )

you’ve  never  had  any  desire  to  be  queen  ,  no  desire  for  power  ,  only  a  desire  for  good  .  to  be  a  good  person  ,  be  a  good  princess  ,  be  a  good  daughter  .  you  place  the  rebellion  in  a  box  and  only  take  it  out  when  it’s  time  to  be  someone  else  .  the  very  act  of  being  someone  else  is  an  act  of  rebellion  ,  however  ,  and  in  your  heart  you  know  you  shouldn’t  be  sneaking  out  .  that  you  shouldn’t  want  to  experience  everything  you  have  .  but  it’s  fun  ,  isn’t  it  ?  it’s  so  fun  being  free  .

it  starts  when  you  are  sixteen  ,  and  it’s  just  a  quick  trip  into  town  .  for  just  one  day  ,  you  want  to  be  normal  .  one  day  turns  into  another  &  another  &  another  &  it  repeats  itself  until  one  night  ,  your  mother  finds  you  on  your  way  back  in  .  she  doesn’t  say  anything  .  nods  her  head  ,  and  closes  your  door  .  you  know  she  will  not  be  upset  ,  you  know  she  will  not  tell  your  father  .  

your  mother  leaves  you  a  letter  ,  before  she  goes  .  you  don’t  know  if  she  left  your  siblings  one  ,  you  don’t  ask  .  you  keep  yours  close  to  your  chest  ,  it’s  a  secret  between  the  two  of  you  .  she  tells  you  to  be  kind  ,  be  loving  ,  be  trusting  .  trust  yourself  ,  she  writes  ,  trust  yourself  above  anyone  else  .  you  know  what  is  best  ,  dear  girl  .  she  finishes  the  letter,  i  love  you,  fly  free.  

your  father  seals  your  fate  with  a  sip  of  viking  ale  and  a  smile  .  were  you  really  so  insignificant  to  him  ?  were  you  really  so  replaceable  ?  so  inconsequential  that  he  could  ship  you  to  a  different  country  ,  only  to  see  you  when  you’re  allowed  to  come  back  ?  is  it  really  that  easy  ?

you  feel  something  for  your  future  husband  ,  among  those  feelings  are  :  contempt  ,  anger  ,  resentment  .  you’ve  never  felt  this  kind  of  vexation  before  ,  it  fills  you  from  the  top  down  .  you  find  him  singularly  brutish  &  cruel  .  in  all  your  years  dreaming  of  prince  charming  ,  you  had  never  pictured  him  a  viking  warrior  ,  a  killer  .

your  engagement  is  the  nail  in  the  coffin  --  it  means  your  mother  is  truly  gone  .  you  can  sense  that  your  brothers  are  plotting  .  you  don’t  ask  questions  .  you’ve  never  wanted  to  run  away  more  .

you  will  not  be  free  for  much  longer  .
