What if So(u)l but. Lesbians

[normalhorsez]

its lesbian day ? coolio

hello. im rex, a butch nonbinary lesbian. ive been on T for three years. 5 months ago, due to fascist bullshit laws in the state of FL, i lost access to medical care relating to my transition. i ran out of hormones very recently. ive been unable to schedule appointments and similar ever since june. i am far from the only person being forcibly detransitioned by the state, since FL has the second highest trans population in the US point blank.

my family has been tryin to get the fuck out of here for multiple reasons. 1: so i can continue my medical transition in peace, and 2: so we can escape longterm abuse and live closer to family that isnt cartoonishly cruel to us literally every day. we had initially wanted to be out of here by august, but obviously, it did not shake out that way due to numerous circumstances (as well as the still ongoing abuse halting progress at one point completely)

i have a kofi here ive been using to save funds for a laptop better able to handle my workload, so i can work longer and faster w/o problems to help fund us getting out faster as well as regular expenses (food, medication, caring for my disabled mom). i have some bases for sale on there u can use for fun art stuff, if you want !

there is also the gfm my twin made directly funding escape related things.

ty for hearin me out. shits really hard right now and i feel massively like shit.

[hard--headed--woman]

This woman's name, or more like her pseudo, is

Lisa Ben !

(yes, it's the anagram of the word lesbian)

Lisa Ben, real name Edythe Eyde, was born in 1921 and died in 2015. She was an American editor, fantasy author, fanzine contributor and songwriter. She created the world's first known lesbian publication, Vice Versa.

In high school, she fell in love with a girl for the first time. When this girl left her, the young Edythe, devastated, spoke about it to her mother, and her reaction was so violent that she decided to never again talk about her personal and romantic life with her parents.

After attending university for two years, and after saving for three years, she left her parents and moved, first to Palo Alto and then to Los Angeles in 1945.

By this time, she was already well known to science fiction fans for her involvement in fandom since 1941, with her numerous publications (cartoons, reviews) mainly under the pseudonym Tigrina (although we also know her real name) in various fanzines.

In 1946, she began frequenting lesbian bars, and although she was never caught by the police during one of their many raids, she was questioned several times by them.

She began publishing Vice Versa in 1947 to widen her social circle.

"I was lonely and I wanted to be able to meet other people like me. I couldn't just walk down the street and say: "I'm looking for lesbian friends". Vice Versa gave me a way to reach out to other gay girls - a way to get to know other girls ... when I had something to give away and was trying to convince girls to write for my magazine, I no longer had trouble finding new people."

While working as a secretary for RKO Pictures, she typed each issue of the magazine twice with five carbon copies, making a total of 12 copies of each issue (a technique that had been used for science fiction fanzines, of which she had extensive experience). She initially sent three copies to friends and distributed the rest by hand, in particular at the If Club, one of the first lesbian bars in Los Angeles and encouraged her readers to pass on their copies to friends rather than throwing them away. She estimates that dozens of people read each copy. Although careful to avoid anything that might be considered 'dirty' or risqué, she stopped sending copies after a friend told her she could be arrested for sending obscene material through the post. Publications dealing with homosexuality were automatically considered obscene under the Comstock Act until 1958.

Edythe Eyde published nine issues of Vice Versa, from June 1947 to February 1948. She stopped publishing it after the sale of RKO, forcing her to change jobs. Her new assignment left her with no free time at work to type the magazine. She had also achieved her goal of increasing her circle of friends, and wanted to spend more time enjoying her new life rather than writing about it. Despite the magazine's short run, she is credited with "setting the agenda that dominated lesbian and gay journalism for fifty years introducing many of the features that would define the myriad publications that would follow.""

In the 1950s, Edythe Eyde began writing for The Ladder, the first nationally distributed lesbian magazine. The Ladder was published by Daughters of Bilitis (DOB), the first lesbian group, of which she was a member. It was while writing for The Ladder that she began using the pseudonym Lisa Ben, an anagram of lesbian, when her first choice, Ima Spinster, was rejected. The Ladder has also reprinted content from Vice Versa.

Edythe Eyde rekindled her interest in music and began writing and performing parodies based on popular songs in a local gay club called The Flamingo. For example, I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter became I'm gonna sit right down and write my butch a letter. She was inspired to write her songs by a determination to create gay entertainment that was neither profane nor degrading to homosexuals, particularly after being put off by the jokes and self-deprecating songs made by performers in gay clubs. The Daughters of Bilitis released a single by Eyde, signed Lisa Ben, after fundraising. The record featured her own composition, Cruisin' Down the Boulevard with a lesbian version of Frankie and Johnny on the other side. Her music has been used in several documentary films.

At the age of 36, Edythe Eyde entered into her first and only long-term relationship, which lasted three years, until her partner gambled away all her money. Since then, she decided not to pursue another serious relationship.

She appeared in the 1984 documentary Before Stonewall, discussing her life and work and performing several of her parody songs. She continued to work in various secretarial positions until her retirement. She was honoured in 1997 as a founder of the Los Angeles LGBT community. In 2010, the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association inducted Edythe Eyde into its Hall of Fame.

She died on 22 December 2015 at the age of 94.

She left behind her a huge legacy and had a big importance for the gay culture and the gay community. For example, the National Association of Lesbian and Gay Journalists' Lisa Ben Award for Reporting is "designed to honor a journalist whose work stands out for its insight and impact through interesting features about LGBTQ people, the LGBTQ community or LGBTQ issues."

Her work for the lesbian community was very important and will never be forgotten.

Hope you enjoyed it and see you tomorrow !

"Long Legged Girl (With the Short Dress On)" (1966-1967)

Recorded on June 29, 1966 at MGM Soundstage, Hollywood · Released as Single on April, 1967 and on the Soundtrack album Double Trouble on June, 1967.

MUSICIANS Guitar: Scotty Moore, Tiny Timbrell. Harmonica & Guitar: Charlie McCoy. Bass: Bob Moore. Drums: D.J. Fontana, Buddy Harman. Piano: Floyd Cramer. Steel Guitar: Pete Drake. Saxophone: Boots Randolph. Trombone: Richard Noel. Vocals: The Jordanaires. OVERDUBS, Guitar: Mike Deasy. Bass: Jerry Scheff. Drums: Toxey Sewell. Saxophone: Michael Henderson, Butch Parker.

Elvis as Guy Lambert in Double Trouble (1967).

RECORDING SESSION Soundtrack Sessions for MGM’s Double Trouble June 28-29, 1966 (7PM–12AM; 1–3AM): Radio Recorders and MGM Studios Recording Stage, Hollywood. Ever since the frustrating exercise of making the music for his first two movies, Love Me Tender and Loving You, Elvis had insisted on doing his soundtrack recording in a regular studio setting, not on a large, impersonal sound stage where he felt he couldn��t perform at his best. Disgusted with yet another round of lackluster material provided by his own publishing companies, Elvis showed up late at Radio Recorders for the Double Trouble sessions; but this time the result was that MGM studio executives moved the next night’s sessions to their own sound stage, saving money for themselves and for the film’s eventual bottom line (in which Elvis and the Colonel too had a share). Elvis had long since learned from Colonel Tom to be mindful of his obligations, and he raised no explicit objections—but he could not have been pleased when he heard the sound of the recordings they were making. The soundstage had all the presence of a giant tin can. Poor miking and generally sloppy engineering produced a sound that might have worked for mono cinema playback, but scarcely for the work of a major recording artist. (...) The session concluded with the rerecording of a single with a title as long as the song was short — “Long Legged Girl (With A Short Dress On),” which ran, mercifully, for one minute, twenty-seven seconds. Excerpt: "Elvis Presley, A Life in Music: The Complete Recording Sessions" by Ernst Jorgensen. Foreword by Peter Guralnick (1998)

RELEASE On April 28, 1967 "Long Legged Girl (With the Short Dress On)" was released as A-Side Single (backed with "That’s Someone You Never Forget", which had originally appeared on 1962’s Pot Luck; ref. 47-9115) by Elvis Presley with the Jordanaires. A couple of months later, in June 1967, it came out on the Soundtrack album Double Trouble (ref. RD-7892).

LYRICS — "Long Legged Girl (With the Short Dress On)" Songwriters: John Leslie McFarland/Winfield Scott All right I've been thumbing rides, travelling light Walking streets 'til past midnight Tramping roads, trails, and lanes Scaling cliffs, fields, and plains Searching 'til the early dawn For that long-legged girl with the short dress on Riding trucks, bikes, and skis Sailing lakes and brooks and seas Driving wagons, cars, and jeeps Walking stilts in ten foot leaps Searching 'til the early dawn For that long-legged girl with the short dress on And everywhere I go, she's been and gone She's fine (she's fine) It's just too bad she's the travelling kind So fine (so fine) I just can't rest 'til I make her mine I've been from Maine to Tennessee Mexico and Waikiki Rain or shine, sleet or snow Searching high, then I'm searching low Everything depends upon For that long-legged girl with the short dress on She's fine (she's fine) It's just too bad she's the travelling kind So fine (so fine) I just can't rest 'til I make her mine Well, I've been from Maine to Tennessee Mexico and Waikiki Rain or shine, sleet or snow I'm searching high, well, I'm searching low 'Cause everything depends upon For that long-legged girl with the short dress on The long-legged girl with the short dress on

n's specialty is romance. i learn this rapidly. our two short days together tell me more than i expect to know. a lot more than i expect to know.

i waste no time charting new territory. their humble body becomes my map but i have no interest in cartography, rather i am a subterranean explorer under the covers. i think i also tell them more than they expect to know. we begin to feel more emotions than we expect to feel. this is something both of us experience.

n is very direct in a way i admire. the words they choose resonate with me. i have goosebumps, but it's just because it's cold in here. i associate it with the ticklish feeling they give me, as their fingers dance around my flesh.

i find myself in what appears to be a lesbian dynamic but i, myself, am a man. a fag. i worry if a fag and a butch are cut out for each other-- this brings entirely new meaning to opposites attract.

i think about giving n perspective. i could tell them even more than they already know about me. more than they could venture to know about me in such a short week. if they read the pages of my life that i can hand them, they would know.

perhaps too soon. we arent meant to know so much now, the burdens of love and knowing could sabotage us. but this is a strangely sapphic experience. the uhaul could save us or send us down the treacherous path ive been down dozens of times with no return.

there is a lot more than i expect to experience that i am experiencing.

there is more today.

i patiently wait.

@ohnoitstbskyen’s “Nine Essays About Characters That Matter” video literally struck me through the heart with a dagger. The way it’s presented as stories told by people of their blorbos with mister the big skyen commenting in between is perfect. So perfect i’ve been inspired to write a small essay about my Characters That Matter, if this is just rambling into the wind or not, i just want to express my thought in this form.

It’s Yang, it’s Yang, of course it’s Yang how could it not be Yang Xiao Long. Yang as a character - and rwby as a whole literally flashbanged my entire humanity in june of 2022.

Lots of people love Yang, how couldn’t you. Maybe you relate with her backstory in relation to Ruby, how she was forced to grow up and play parent for Ruby because both their mom’s fumbled the bag. Maybe you’re someone who’s lost a limb or otherwise disabled and find triumph in how she fights on despite her disability. For me, it’s neither - what gets me going about her is her personality, particularly in early volumes. She’s this larger than life, fun loving person who’s the embodiment of warm fire who brings you in and is your friend. Which is exactly the kind of standard i try to live up to. Another aspect of this side of her i love is the protector aspect she inhabits, she was Ruby’s protector, as a huntress she’s everyone’s protector. I want to be her in every way imaginable.

The “Rule of Cool” in character designs, which is that if something is cool enough it deserves to exist is so very alive to me, and gosh is Yang cool. she’s cocky, her personality and silhouette is so big and massive and imposing. “let’s kiss and make up then you’ll learn” is such a good lyric for her from the song about her “i burn”. These attributes of her and the rule of cool are all things that i identify with myself. I’m also massive and cocky and i think i’m awesome but i am literally Ivern in red flannel. Yang does the whole damn thing, looks the part, saves the day sometimes, has an emotional background and gets bitches all while being so so human.

To continue on with Yang’s cool factor i want to touch on her design as a whole. It’s perfect, that’s just a fact. My favorite part about her is her hair. Big wavy hair that gives her a massive anchor in her design as well as giving her a unique silhouette compared to other characters in the show. Secondly her outfits she wears in different volumes are always the best. Her outfits are practical, and look like they totally belong to a biker girl who beats the shit out of you. Even down to her more finite details, like the purple bandana around her knee which relates to her relationship with Blake.

A tertiary point about yang that’s fundamental in *why* i like her so much is how she is this strong, imposing and daunting character, but she’s still presented as feminine. The way that rwby as a show presents Yang as a whole and tows a line between allowing Yang to be a masculine aligned berserker while not falling on “butch” tropes is so important to me. Yang is almost an entire new breed of femininity, one that i align with a lot.

Yang is so very much a part of me, But so is this fucking asshole.

POWER SWEEEEEEEEP i love Power for so many reasons that are so painfully simple.

Her backstory or storyline isn’t a tragedy like Yang or even Denji. Her backstory is just she was a lonely freak and found a cat. It’s so simple, yet i relate to it in my own way. And it’s so important to me to relate to a character in my own way. Never in my life have i found a character i related to, not once. And power gets me somewhat close to that feeling we all deserve.

Power borrows from the “Rule of Cool” less than yang, but is still great from a design wise on her own. When i first saw her in the intro i figured she was going to be a typical boring shonen-girl-type, but i was immediately proved wrong. Her human form design is so simple but portrays so much about her. The devil horns constantly present in her design are testament to her troublemaker attitude, which are contrasted by the business shirt and tie that she shares with her peers in public safety. **Spoilers for the ending of CSM part 1** When she assumes her devil form upon coming back from getting bang’d she’s a crazy looking monster, similar to kindred (who i also love dearly). This monstrous form she assumes for only a few pages are easily my favorite moment in chainsaw man as a whole. There’s just something right about this asshole getting to be a monster for like 10 min and giving up her life to save her state appointed brother

Power is, for all intensive purpose, a comedic relief character - in a show about horrible miserable topics with a messed up sense of humor, which is another trait i find relatable, i’m also the comedic relief girl.

Thankfully Power isn’t *just* her awful traits that make her hilarious and ridiculous. She’s a dutiful protector, of Meowy and of Denji in later chapters. She’s shown to have deep seeded fears in her character, her submission to makima, her impairing fear of the dark after darkness devil. These additions into her silly persona make her a well rounded, entertaining and fun character.

These two characters aren’t related at all, besides both being from shonens. As personality’s, their both big, loud and powerful which is the key element that makes me so attuned to them. The shows i watched in 2022, and subsequently become obsessed and consumed by shaped me as a person completely. And having characters for the first time in my life i saw myself in has been a liberating experience. I truly understand what TB Skyen meant when he said: “sometimes characters are important”.

⚠️ Content warnings: homophobia, hate crime, knife attack, graphic violence, murder ⚠️

Fong Hiu-tung, 26, and Lau Kai-hei, 22, were stabbed to death by a 39 year old man in a Hong Kong shopping mall on June 2nd, 2023. The man had purchased a knife just before stabbing Fong Hiu-tung in the back. Lau Kai-hei tried to fend off the assailant and pull her partner away, but failed. After stabbing both of them multiple times, the assailant waited calmly for the police to arrive. The police believe the assailant and victims had no connection and did not know each other.

Fong Hiu-tung was a waitress in a high-end restaurant, while Lau Kai-hei was a hair stylist at a nearby salon. Lau Kai-hei also worked part-time at a bar, which is where they had met. On the day of the attack, the couple had planned to meet with Fong Hiu-tung's family to attend her grandfather's birthday party after visiting the mall.

Fong Hiu-tung and Lau Kai-hei loved each other and died for it. May they rest in peace.

Thread has links and information, but contains a graphic video and pictures. Please proceed with caution:

Some details on being a lesbian in China below the cut:

From Naomi Wu, an explanation of what lesbians face in China/Hong Kong:

When men attack Toms (butches), they think a lot of things- sometimes in Chinese we say "one lesbian steals two men's wives"- herself and her partner. And for bitter middle-aged, unmarried men like this attacker, they've been told their whole life they are owed a wife to wait on them hand and foot- and they feel robbed and wronged by a young handsome Tom taking what's "theirs". They are angry, entitled, jealous- they want to teach her a lesson. They want to punish her for having what is rightfully theirs when they don't. Then it's "Oh, if you want to act like a man, I'll treat you like one". Most need to justify it to themselves to get started. Of course, the femme/Dee/P is always next, because we will fight to save our Tom, and once we do, they can justify turning their violence on us next. In their twisted head, they decide their unprovoked attack was "fighting 1-on-1" and it's our fault for getting involved. All Toms know the deal, they cannot win, all Toms tell their girls again and again "if something happens, just run, I can take it". When the time comes, all Toms try to buy their girl time to get away- even as they go down under fists and boots…or knives😭 They want to buy us time, but no femmes can bear to leave them, so it never works. But they always go for our Toms first, then us. Every time.

And Naomi Wu on how the assailant would know they were lesbians:

Good questions "how would he know they were lesbian?". See pictures below- Chinese lesbians with a Tom are pretty obviously lesbians, at least to our eyes. Chinese lesbians basically come in three varieties- T, P, and H. Historically that's 99% of us, these days, probably 95% with a bit more variety coming in. Very, very, very loosely mapped- T- Tom/Butch P-Dee/Femme/Pretty Girl/Po H- Half/Futch (Amber [Lau Kai-hei] kind of gives H vibes but not my place to say.) If you see a butch girl like Daniel [Fong Hiu-tung], or my Kaidi [Naomi's girlfriend], or the other Toms you have seen me with, they're lesbian. I'm sure there are some non-lesbian Chinese women out there with that clear Tom aesthetic- but I've never met one. I suppose there are also some straight guys that look like Tom of Finland Leather Daddies walking around with similar-looking straight male friends- it's just not common. That gender expression is as clear a signal to you, as ours is to us. Some girls that look H are straight, some boyish girls are straight- but almost never Tom presenting women like Daniel or Kaidi. Now two Chinese women with more conventional gender expression simply holding hands would leave plenty of room for doubt, and there is the polite obliviousness of Chinese who will pretend they don't know a LGBT couple is a couple, but if I'm out with Kaidi- or with any Tom, basically zero people don't actually know we're a couple at a glance. That's just how LGBT works here, we have a look. Amber and Daniel were, likewise, for lack of a better word- and in a bit of celebration- flamingly, gloriously lesbian and easily picked out of a crowd as such- as Kaidi and I would be.

Things I have said while still avoiding thinking of myself as transgender:

I wonder what my life would be like if I was a girl? I mean, I imagine it would be so much easier to exist socially and make friends. That’s probably because girls are just easier to connect with than boys though.

I mean, there’s no reason that I wouldn’t mind turning into a girl, but I don’t think I would like periods. I don’t think I could handle them, so I guess I wouldn’t really want to become a girl.

Sometimes I wish I could like girls but like, in a lesbian way. Lesbian romance is so much more compelling than any sort of het romance. I guess I’m just that bisexual.

No, I do like some het romance, as long as the boy is going through some sort of force fem thing where they totally reevaluate their relationship to masculinity as a result of their relationship. That’s a kink thing and not a gender thing though.

I automatically identify with the girl in the few het ships I do have (percabeth). I’m just not going to think about it.

Man crop tops would be so much cooler if I had boobs. I wish I could have boobs so that I could bind them, if that makes sense? I guess I’m not really trans fem, just wish I was trans masc. Which is weird and appropriating and I shouldn’t take up space in trans spaces because of it.

I love being androgynous. That’s the ideal. I hate being told by my schools that I have to cut my hair all the time. It’s awful.

one of my earliest memories was in school, a guest speaker pointed to me and asked for “the girl in the row” because my hair was so long. I remember that memory distinctly positively.

I had an imaginary friend who was a girl and I regularly dressed up for my entire childhood.

I wish I could steal my pre-op transmasc friend’s boobs to help them with their dysphoria. I’m gonna make jokes about that. No, that’s weird, and just some sort of attempt to impress them because I have a crush on them.

I love it when I look in the mirror and I look vaguely like an 80s bookstore lesbian. (Not quite fem or butch by modern standards)

I like wearing singlets (sleeveless undershirts) because I look like a butch lesbian mechanic.

my ideal gender presentation is a butch lesbian (still a guy though)

You know I’m probably not cis but I have exams right now and spending brain energy focusing on that will not help me be productive.

I’m going to make a compilation of all the clearly egg things that I think regularly or have thought in the past then post it on tumblr on the 6th June, 2024. This will not really mean anything.

Estrogen could save me.

Still don’t identify as a girl yet. But. It’s coming. I guess I think of myself as gender fluid now but not really. Just a guy who is almost certainly a girl-in-waiting but just isn’t bothered to make it a whole thing yet.

There is no such thing as an unproblematic piece of media, production team, or morally-pure person. There isn't. There's only "what flaws I am willing to put up with," which is going to be different for every person. If your friend has a different level of acceptable bullshit than you, it's probably fine, actually? The sooner people learn that, the happier in general they will be.

Listen, if you are on Twitter and you haven't recently downloaded your data, you really need to. Like, now.

With the recent layoffs, I am willing to bet money that Twitter is going to implode very soon. Maybe not permanently, but dramatically, and very, very soon. Like "Liz Truss vs a head of lettuce" soon.

I base this quite simply on knowing the kind of shit my wife deals with every day, and listening to people on the news who have talked to Twitter employees about the site at all. Not only do I think there's some Thing that will cause Twitter to puke all over itself like a 19yo who just discovered wine coolers, but I think there are multiple Things, and they are not in the future. They are occurring right now.

They fired the people who know which software licenses are up for renewal next. They fired the people who know that this cache needs to be manually emptied, and yeah they should have written a script for it but there were so many other projects that it was easier for Bob to just manually do it on Friday mornings while on his 2nd cup of coffee. They fired the people who know to not poke this thing in that way bc this thing works in a non-standard fashion, but it works, so even though the software manual says "poke it," don't do that. They fired the people that know that this queue getting up over X number of tickets means it starts eating tickets and erasing half the data you need to fix issues, so you have to compress the ticket numbers at least every 2 days with an ad hoc utility script that Jane wrote after your team discovered this issue. Not all of the institutional knowledge is gone, but a lot of it is, and once that knowledge is gone, it's not coming back. Once that knowledge is gone, things unravel quickly at an institution that size.

Whatever happens on the social end of things - and that's a fucking mess - make your contingency plans for not losing touch with people now, and get downloads of your shit. Now. Not later. This will not fizzle out like LiveJournal. I'm willing to bet that it will simply cease to be one day soon. It might come back once it disappears.

I'm just not counting on it, and neither should you.

If you think these "anti drag" pushes aren't going to be used against trans people for just existing in public, you really really need to read up on the vice laws which caused Stonewall.

If you think Stonewall was only trans women and transmascs/butches/trans men weren't arrested during the leadup to the riot, you need to read up on who was there, who was arrested, and why.

They are coming for all of us. Your supposed respectability will not save you. We will survive this if we stick together, and only if.

Just me crying in the bathroom so I don't wake my partners with this, fuck.

So to sum up: CT and DC have passed laws making it illegal to extradite someone to another state if they are being charged in that other state for crimes pertaining to abortion or trans health care, and makes it legal to sue and get your money back if you are targeted by a TX-style "bounty" law. DC also includes "crimes" of consensual adult sex, gay and interracial marriage and cohabitation and providing or using contraception.

This is, as the thread explains, basically legal interstate warfare. CT and DC's laws bar compliance with such laws.

This is, on one hand, kind of terrifying, because this is where we are now. It's going to get worse long before it gets better.

On the other hand... holy shit, someone fucking did something.

Someone fucking did something real.

Reminder that femmes don't have to be skinny weak white women!! Femmes can be strong!! Femmes can be fat!!! Femmes can be any skin color!! Femmes can be gnc/genderqueer/nonbinary! Unlike terms like twink/hunk/bear, your body type doesn't determine whether you are butch or femme. Don't let anyone tell you you can't be a femme because of how you look! Love you all <3

Whoops almost missed that we're already posting our full pieces for the @normandyzine (there's a leftover sale going on btw). Here's to the space family and all the times they annoyed Karin at the medbay.

EDIT: Fixed the tone of Ashley's skin a bit, would be nice if everyone could reblog this version instead!

Honestly. Growing up. I didn’t have the vocabulary to explain what it was that was wrong. Just the emotions telling me “girl” and “boy” and their associations were not correct. Eventually I saw someone on the internet use the term “genderqueer” and I latched onto that so hard. I was in my twenties guys. It had taken me that long to realize in a world outside of my small rural life that other people had language for what they felt.

If I had known sooner, I think my best friend might still be alive. And I will never not feel the guilt of that. Genderqueer wasn’t right for me. And it might not have been right for him either. But I think nonbinary would have been something he would have liked to have explored. I think him and me are made of a lot of the same things and that’s how a dark skinned flamboyant gay man in the south ended up living with a white country butch from a conservative family and being best friends and building a life together. He was truly like a brother to me, an extension of me.

Every pride I think of him so heavy. It hits me maybe right before June and haunts me until seasonal depression in the winter makes me lose that specific pain to the tide of pain everywhere.

So yeah. If I didn’t have bootstraps to drag myself up by, I wouldn’t be able to stand. If I didn’t have an inlet to the wealth of language surrounding queer concepts, I might not be here.

And I will never forget that. Because I will never forget him.

Thank you to the trans community. We lose brothers, sisters, siblings, constantly to the fight and the pain. But sometimes. Sometimes someone is saved.

My story is both because I carry him with me always.

I saw recently someone accuse nonbinary people of "riding the coattails" of binary trans people, and I cannot emphasize this enough: take my coattails, hold them in your hands, pull yourself up by my bootstraps. Together is how we thrive, together is how we fight, together is how we win.

There are queer people out there who when they see another branch of the queer community either succeeding or receiving support, their reaction is to try and pull them back down. The logic is often: if I had to suffer, so do you.

If I could give a piece of advice to anyone just entering the queer community, it would be: be wary of people who want suffering more than solidarity.

Remember, in this community, we are not here to fight for scraps, we are here to rise together.

"Baby, If You’ll Give Me All Of Your Love" (1966-1967)

Recorded on June 29, 1966 at MGM Soundstage, Hollywood · Released on the Soundtrack album Double Trouble in June, 1967.

MUSICIANS Guitar: Scotty Moore, Tiny Timbrell. Harmonica & Guitar: Charlie McCoy. Bass: Bob Moore. Drums: D.J. Fontana, Buddy Harman. Piano: Floyd Cramer. Steel Guitar: Pete Drake. Saxophone: Boots Randolph. Trombone: Richard Noel. Vocals: The Jordanaires. OVERDUBS, Guitar: Mike Deasy. Bass: Jerry Scheff. Drums: Toxey Sewell. Saxophone: Michael Henderson, Butch Parker.

CANDIDS Elvis filmed “Double Trouble” in July-August 1966, and it was released April 5, 1967. Fan (gate girl) Sandi Miller took pictures of EP on August 3rd, 1966, and here's what she said about the pictures: Elvis "off to the studio to film "Double Trouble", holding the box that contained the jacket we had bought him. when he came home he said that when the movie comes out, pay close attention to it. when the movie came out, we noticed he used the jacket in the film!"

RECORDING SESSION Soundtrack Sessions for MGM’s Double Trouble June 28–29, 1966 (7PM–12AM, 1–3AM): Radio Recorders and MGM Studios Recording Stage, Hollywood. Ever since the frustrating exercise of making the music for his first two movies, Love Me Tender and Loving You, Elvis had insisted on doing his soundtrack recording in a regular studio setting, not on a large, impersonal soundstage where he felt he couldn’t perform at his best. Disgusted with yet another round of lackluster material provided by his own publishing companies, Elvis showed up late at Radio Recorders for the Double Trouble sessions; but this time the result was that MGM studio executives moved the next night’s sessions to their own soundstage, saving money for themselves and for the film’s eventual bottom line (in which Elvis and the Colonel too had a share). Elvis had long since learned from Colonel Tom to be mindful of his obligations, and he raised no explicit objections—but he could not have been pleased when he heard the sound of the recordings they were making. The soundstage had all the presence of a giant tin can. Poor miking and generally sloppy engineering produced a sound that might have worked for mono cinema playback, but scarcely for the work of a major recording artist. Excerpt: "Elvis Presley, A Life in Music: The Complete Recording Sessions" by Ernst Jorgensen. Foreword by Peter Guralnick (1998)

RELEASE "Baby, If You’ll Give Me All Of Your Love" was released on the Soundtrack Album "Double Trouble" in June 1967 (ref. LSP 3787). The album peaked at number 47 on the Billboard 200.

LYRICS — "Baby, If You’ll Give Me All Of Your Love" Songwriter: Joy Byers I'll send you red roses by the dozen I'll call you sweet little things like turtle dove I'll whisper pretty things in your ear The kinda things a girl likes to hear Baby, if you'll give me all of your love I'll bring you pounds and pounds of chocolate candy To prove it's you that I've been thinking of Tear up all the pictures I own Of every pretty girl I've ever known Baby, if you'll give me all of your love I'll take you dancin' every night until you're ready to drop I'll kiss your sweet red cherry lips until you holler stop Every night I'll serenade you 'neath your window If you need me just a whistle and I won't need a shove I'll hug you, squeeze you tight as I can It ain't gonna be no one-night stand Baby, if you'll give me all of your love I'll take you dancin' every night until you're ready to drop I'll kiss your sweet red cherry lips until you holler stop Every night I'll serenade you 'neath your window If you need me just a whistle and I won't need a shove I'll hug you squeeze you tight as I can It ain't gonna be no one-night stand Baby, if you'll give me all of your love Baby, if you'll give me all of your love If you will give me If you will give me All your love Alright

Comics read this past week:

Marvel Comics:

Young Avengers Presents (2008) #1 and Captain America Comics 70th Anniversary Special (2009) #1

The Young Avengers Presents issue was published in January 2008, according to the Marvel Wiki, and was written by Ed Brubaker, penciled by Paco Medina, and inked by Juan Vlasco. It was about Elijah Bradley, who is the Young Avenger Patriot, and Bucky. I don’t have much experience with Elijah but I liked what I saw of him here. I thought the opening of the issue where he says, “Sometimes it’s really hard not to hate this country. Hell, sometimes it’s really hard not to just hate everyone in the whole world, actually,” was compelling. And I think his dynamic with Bucky is conceptually interesting. Unfortunately, the writing of their conversation at the end of this issue fell flat for me.

The Anniversary Special was published in April 2009, according to the Marvel Wiki, and was written by James Robinson and drawn by Marcos Martín. It told the story of how Steve Rogers was chosen to receive the super-soldier serum, framed through Bucky reminiscing on his knowledge of the event before a mission during WWII. It turns out that right after Steve was marked 4F and rejected by the army, he stumbled into a plot to steal the formula for the serum and saved it for the United States. I didn’t find this explanation of how Steve was chosen or how he was characterized during that part of the story to be interesting. Bucky’s ultimate conclusion, that “the thing that makes Captain America great… is Steve Rogers,” has potential, but I’m not actually convinced just yet from what else I’ve read that that’s how Bucky views Steve.

Captain America (1968) #600-601 and Captain America: Reborn (2009) prologue and #1-6

These issues were published across June 2009 to January 2010, according to the Marvel Wiki. Captain America #600 was an anthology book with 64 pages of original comic stories from a variety of creators, some of which was used to set up the events of Captain America: Reborn. All of Captain America: Reborn was written by Ed Brubaker, penciled by Bryan Hitch, and inked by Butch Guice. And Captain America #601 was written by Ed Brubaker and drawn by Gene Colan.

Of the most interest to me in Captain America #600 was a 2-page story written by Alex Ross and Paul Dini and painted by Alex Ross. It was an explanation of who Steve is that was written from his perspective. Of taking the super-soldier serum, he describes, “As my body radically grew and changed, the simple man that was Steve Rogers died. In his place was born a new being, less a man than an ideal. An inspirational symbol of the glory that is America. With the invasion into occupied Europe, I became the living extension of every American’s outrage at the tyranny of the Third Reich.” Generally speaking, I enjoy stories about characters dehumanizing themselves to fulfill a role.

Captain America: Reborn told the story of Steve Rogers being brought back to life after he’d been killed off back in Captain America (2005) #25, which was published in March 2007. It’s explained that Steve has been lost in time, but also that he’s linked to Sharon Carter and she’s the key the bringing him back, which the Red Skull had previously been trying to do in order to take Steve’s body for his own. Sharon’s confusion over what exactly she did when she broke free from the Red Skull’s machine in Captain America (2005) #42 parallels her confusion over killing Steve in Captain America (2005) #25. Her thought process at the time had been, “What… What is this…? What am I seeing? Something alive? What is… is it growing…? Is that my… is that…?” It was the brief belief that she was seeing her baby that gave her the strength to break free, which was really interesting to me because at the time she had been hypnotized into forgetting she was ever pregnant, and she wouldn’t realize that she’d been pregnant and had a miscarriage until months later when she finally noticed the scar from the stab wound on her stomach.

Steve describes the experience of being lost in time in issue #2 as, “Mostly it’s like I’m a passenger in my own body… Or an extra consciousness in my own mind… Like I’m watching myself go through the motions exactly as I did before…” He’s afraid to try to change anything for fear of the unknown repercussions to the future. We see him re-experience things like D-Day, his mother’s death, and receiving the super-soldier serum and then subsequently failing to stop Dr. Erskine’s death. In issue #3, while Steve was reliving being frozen in the ice, he thinks, “Two hours ago I watched a president betray his country and gave up my shield to become Nomad. Why do I say two hours? Time has no meaning now… Now? Now…? Yesterday- today, someday- I met Sam Wilson on an island out at sea… But I wasn’t me then… Then…? Was…? I’m losing my mind… This has to stop… Trapped in the ice again… How many times have I been here before? So helpless… If only my eyes had been frozen shut all those years…” He manages to send a message to his friends about his situation by briefly taking control in the middle of the Kree-Skull War and explaining it to Vision and then telling him to forget it and bury the the memory deep in his storage until it’s needed. I really enjoyed this because complicated fantastical experiences of time or identity really appeal to me. The best part of this was in issue #4 when Steve relives the day that he got frozen and Bucky ‘died.’ He starts of the scene thinking, “Oh, god… Not this one… Not this moment. I can’t do this again. I’ve relived this day so many times… in my mind… in my nightmares… over and over again… This is the worst day of my life.” Then he decides to forgo not risking unknown repercussions to the future and ends the scene desperate to stay in that moment: “I can’t do it again. I can’t let it all happen again… I have to save him. Maybe I’m crazy… I don’t care… But I just can’t- No- Not again! Don’t take me now!” But the moment had actually been playing out exactly as it had before.

In issue #6, while Steve is fighting the Red Skull for control of his body, Steve says, “You think you can kill me, Skull?! Then let’s do it! […] Cause if I die, you’re going with me!” His ultimate declaration is, “After everything I’ve been through… I don’t care anymore! […] I’m done playing your games, Skull! So, come on- let’s die together!” Also, in issue #5 Steve attempted to encourage Bucky to shoot when Bucky was hesitating to kill the Red Skull because he was in Steve’s body. Later, once Steve is safely in control of his body and the Red Skull has finally been killed, Sharon Carter tells him, “I knew you’d come back… I knew it…” Steve responds, “How could I not? There’s so much left to do…” I really like this characterization of Steve as hiding his less palatable feelings from his friends. My expectation is that Steve having been ready to die isn’t going to be prominent later on, but it did make me think of how Bucky said in Captain America (2005) #50, “It’s funny… In some ways, Steve accidentally cursed me when he told the cosmic cube to give me my memories back. He brought me back to the world, but… it’s been hard to accept that I belong here. Sometimes I forget he was trying to save me.”

Captain America (2005) made me interested in Sharon Carter in a way I hadn’t expected. I think it makes sense that her feelings since breaking free from Dr. Faustus’ control have been dominated by the horror of having killed Steve, but now that he’s back I’m hoping that other complicated parts of that situation will be delved into more, like that Dr. Faustus had been manipulating her into falling more deeply in love with Steve and that it was under those circumstances that she became pregnant in the first place. Sharon emphasized, as she was struggling with subtle manipulation from Dr. Faustus in Captain America (2005) #22, that, “I live in the military. I live by orders, Doctor… And any good soldier knows that orders come before friendship,” and, “I’m not the kind of person to choose love over duty.” I’d like to see that part of her character become relevant again.

Captain America #601 was a recounting of a time Steve and Bucky fought vampires during WWII, through the format of Bucky telling the story to Nick Fury in the modern day. Of particular emotional significance to Bucky was that the final vampire they had to kill was a little girl. This came after the killing of multiple other vampires made from adults, soldiers and one U.S.O. girl, which, while difficult, was seen as straightforwardly necessary. Bucky describes this as, “So like I said, I’m no stranger to friendly fire… an’ there aren’t many things uglier… killin’ a little girl- even if she was a vampire- being one of them.” Then the final panel of the story, as Bucky was leaving, depicted him not as he looks in the modern day but as the teenager he was during the war.

Captain America: White (2008) prologue and #1-5

This series was written by Jeph Loeb and drawn by Tim Sale. The prologue was published in July 2008 but then the issues of the main series were published across September 2015 to December 2015, according to the Marvel Wiki.

I’ll admit I was a little thrown at first because this book didn’t take inspiration from how Bucky and Steve were portrayed in the WWII flashbacks in Captain America (2005), which is the version of the characters that I was familiar with and already attached to. For example, in Captain America (2005) that Bucky became Captain America’s sidekick after discovering his secret identity by walking in on Steve changing into his costume was reimagined as an invented propaganda story, and Bucky was actually specially trained and his partnership with Steve was arranged. Whereas in Captain America: White that original Golden Age origin story is maintained. But I liked what this book did with Bucky and Steve’s dynamic. In the depiction of that origin story in the prologue, before the discovery happens, Bucky complains to Steve, “What am I gonna do when everybody else ships out?” In issue #3, as Steve is reminiscing on that event, he compares Bucky’s position of being too young to fight to his own experience being deemed unfit to serve. Steve thinks that the look on Bucky’s face when he discovered Captain America’s secret identity was one of “opportunity” and that it provided “a chance to stand up when all your life you were told to sit down.” I also found the portrayal of Steve mourning Bucky to be really effective. The narration of the book is largely addressed to Bucky. In issue #1 Steve says, “If there’s a chance you made it out too… or somehow… up there… you can hear me… I just want to talk.” In issue #4 Steve asks, “With you gone… without you to back me up… what has my life become?”

the Captain America stories in Tales of Suspense (1959) #64-67

With this batch of Captain America stories I went from January 1965 to April 1965, according to the Marvel Wiki. All were written by Stan Lee and penciled by Jack Kirby. The stories in issue #64 and #67 were inked by Frank Giacoia and the stories in issue #65-66 were inked by Chic Stone. All of the stories were 10 pages.

The stories in issues #64-65 were both retellings of stories from Captain America Comics #1 and the stories in issues #66-67 were both original stories set during WWII. The most significant was the story in issue #66 because it was the reveal of the Red Skull’s backstory, through the format of him telling it to Captain America. Steve was unsympathetic, interrupting to say, “Lots of people had tough lives! My early years were no bed of roses, either! But I don’t waste time telling sob stories!”

There was also a line in issue #64 which stood out to me, in which Steve says, “I’ve heard that even Hitler fears you! Even he can no longer control you- for you’ve grown too powerful! But I’m not Hitler! I’m an American- and my breed just doesn’t scare easily!” Last week’s batch including a retelling of Steve’s origin story of becoming Captain America, which got me thinking that it would actually have been pretty bad if things had gone according to plan and Steve was only the first of an enhanced army of super-soldiers. Because it seems that in the modern day the super-soldier serum is a big deal and that the people who’ve been enhanced by it are particularly formidable, and I can’t imagine that if there were many super-soldier serum-enhanced men that came home from the war and then started having super-soldier serum-enhanced children, that that would not have serious repercussions. Not to mention how the Red Skull apparently became fixated on taking Steve’s enhanced body for his own. But even this emphasis on Steve’s natural superiority due to being an American is iffy.

Timely Publications:

the Captain America stories in Captain America Comics (1941) #6 and All-Winners Comics (1941) #1

With these issues I read 4 Captain America stories. The All-Winners Comics issue was published in Summer 1941 and the Captain America Comics issue was published in September 1941, according to the issue cover dates. These stories ranged from 9 to 16 pages.

Fawcett Comics:

the Captain Marvel stories in Whiz Comics (1940) #80 and Captain Marvel Adventures (1941) #67 and The Marvel Family (1945) #6

With this batch of 7 Captain Marvel stories I read the Captain Marvel appearances published in November 1946, according to the issue cover dates. These stories ranged from 7 to 11 pages.

[hot-lesbian-knight]

I've got about a few active WIP novels but I unfortunately don't post about my current projects very often, that said I'm always happy to chat about them with folks who are curious!(AKA I'm just eagerly awaiting for anyone to trigger my unskippable cutscene where I infodump about the Stories I'm writing for hours)

My current outlined projects where I'm currently working on either a first or second draft are:

Briars in June - A contemporary Lesbian Romance novel about a butch trans lesbian reconnecting with her highschool crush and best friends who's a very repressed and closed lesbian woman returning to their hometown after being gone for 15 years.

Wolf and Witch - A fantasy Western about a and a lady witch who are thrown together when the Witches former employer threatens to destroy the small mining town the werewolf calls home. I'm currently writing Wolf and Witch with a close friend of mine!

Then I have an ever growing list of backburner WIPs that I've been tinkering with when I don't feel like working on the two I've been mainly focusing on:

A Sci-fi mech story about a pilot and handler that is vaguely a retelling of the Myth of Orpheus! After the Pilot dies in a brutal attack on the military base they both call home, the handler discovers that an echo of the pilots consciousness still lives within the circuits and neural pathways of the Pilots mech. Rather than let the Mech be wiped the Handler steals it with hopes to somehow save the Pilots consciousness.

A Sci-fi story exploring the death and rebirth of self inherent to coming out through the lens of an AI android built and trained on the memories and digital footprint of a wannabe merc who died having to come to terms with the fact that she's still seen as this dead boy who's the only way she relates to the world through, and how the people who knew him look at her and just see a dead boy they're still in mourning for.

A horror adventure story that's basically "What if lesbian Frankenstein's Monster and Pygmalion's Galatea went on a revenge Roadtrip as they discover the joys of expressing their own identities rather than those forced on them and hunt down their creators"

A very loose idea about a fantasy story following a Jester, a Princess, and a Knight who are a very messy and toxic little throuple that all kinda love/hate each other and either want to have hot kinky sex or push each other down one of the many flights of stairs of the castle but if any one of them died the rest would probably throw themselves off the battlements from grief and love. No plot concept here yet, mostly just three very messy lesbians who have a complex dynamic and have spent the last little while running around my grey matter alternating between slapstick style whacking each other with cartoon hammers and making out sloppy style with each other.

Feel free to DM me or send me asks about em! I also need to get more in the habit of posting about these more often, or at least have a pinned post with them or something

Anyway good luck hunting for new follows!

So, I've been gone from Tumblr for a long while and my dashboard is pretty quiet, so if you're an indie author/writer, feel free to reblog/like this post so I can give your blog a follow (I follow from @mxxnwishes).

If you feel like it, let me know what you're currently working on!
