Herb Ritts' photographs quickly became the quintessential distillation of American Pop culture in the eighties. His portraits of celebrities are at once monumental, recognizable, and sexually charged. His pictures of Madonna have given cache to all she hopes to sell the world; glamour, sex, and song. Sylvester Stallone, another Pop icon, seems to parody himself with his macho posturing in Ritts' photographs. Others joining the pop parade are Pee Wee Herman, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Shirley MacLaine and Beach Boy Brian Wilson. This volume is the new testament of high Pop culture in the eighties.

I mean, I mean, I mean!

in 1996, I moved from my childhood home, ~450 miles to the south, specifically because Wheelchairs, snow and ice, and steep terrain, do not mix. And I needed to live some place that would functionally shut down with the same amount of snow that would stop me.

I'll give you one guess as to which song was playing on the radio (even the local public station) every 20 minutes, starting in November...

I'm dreaming of a Green Christmas: One that is warm, and sweet, and nice, Where the sun is shining, While bells are chiming. And no-one's slipping on the ice.

-- A parody I came up with years ago.

in a class called american pop culture, i’ll be making a project about queer baiting and raising awareness about it + talking about cancelled shows and showing off the good ones and why they are successful.

i’m thinking of making a video about it but i think it’ll end up being super long because i’ll rant about supernatural and sherlock. doing a shit ton of research rn so i’ll drop my channel link for later use :)

This captures it. Chappell Roan is rightfully disillusioned by the two-party system.

Here are some of the correct responses to her (justified) criticism of the U.S. government.

It's just interesting how the mainstream media portrays Americans and what they are like, just a funny contrast

So what? I won't stop creating memes because the blue MAGA is trying to change the truth with its narrative, and everyone has seen what the truth is…

I can't believe tumblr doesn't shadowban me…
