PSA: stop using anti gay language. Instead of saying a queer person "died of HIV/AIDS" say "Ronald Reagan personally murdered them with his bare hands."

They killed our Jesus: A Lament for Generation Jones

Two things happened in 1980 that would ensure the iron grip of the fascist state would (first slowly, then quickly), tighten on the entirety of the nation's populace from that moment forward: Ronald fucking Reagan was installed as president, and a CIA-psyop'd Christian Nationalist shot and killed John Lennon.

Those two things are connected.

First let's look at exactly who "Generation Jones" encompasses, and specific moments in the generational timeline that defined our future. The wiki page is actually quite good. Here's an excerpt that really hits it on the head:

"The name "Generation Jones" has several connotations, including a large anonymous generation, a "keeping up with the Joneses" competitiveness and the slang word "jones" or "jonesing", meaning a yearning or craving.[17][18][19] Pontell suggests that Jonesers inherited an optimistic outlook as children in the 1960s, but were then confronted with a different reality as they entered the workforce during Reaganomics and the shift from a manufacturing to a service economy, which ushered in a long period of mass unemployment. Mortgage interest rates increased to above 12 percent in the mid-eighties,[20] making it virtually impossible to buy a house on a single income. De-industrialization arrived in full force in the mid-late 1970s and 1980s; wages would be stagnant for decades, and 401Ks replaced pensions, leaving them with a certain abiding "jonesing" quality for the more prosperous days of the past.

Generation Jones is noted for coming of age after a huge swath of their older brothers and sisters in the earlier portion of the Baby Boomer population had; thus, many note that there was a paucity of resources and privileges available to them that were seemingly abundant to older Boomers. Therefore, there is a certain level of bitterness and "jonesing" for the level of doting and affluence granted to older Boomers but denied to them.[21]"

That sets the stage, for the most part. I was four when JFK was shot on TV. I was a wide-eyed, open-eared five year old when The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan and The Supremes were on the radio. I was ten when we landed on the moon, and I wanted to be a hippie at Woodstock at eleven. "Basketball Jones" came out when I was 12...I jonesed for a telescope because SPACE and got one from that great maker of fine telescopes, KMart.

Generationally, we jonesed to be ten years older, so we could have had all the cool shit THEY had. They had The Beatles, and we had the solo Beatles, they had Hendrix, Cream, Jefferson Airplane, and we had the fucking BeeGees and disco. It's like we, as a generation, were fated to live The K-Mart Knockoff of Life, instead of the bright, shiny Brand Name One all our older brothers and sisters got.

MUSIC and SCIENCE were EVERYTHING to us as kids/teens...the Eshittification Of Music truly began in 1973, and proceeded through SynthPop Hell in the '80s. Rock and Roll heroes became hairdos with guitars. The rock heroes of the '60s were getting married and having kids and baking bread. AM Radio ceased to be something you listened to for music...it began to replace music with strident, screaming hate voices that would eventually engulf all of AM Radio 24/7/365.

We were continually thwarted most of the way from our young adulthood on, blatantly from the moments in 1980 that the vile Ronald Reagan and the core operatives of evil for the next 50 years took over, and then the moment of what I call "Our Generational Wounding", the murder of John Lennon.

Back in '66, John had inflamed all the grandpas of todays magats by saying (truthfully) that with teens, The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Beatle hate became a Very Big Thing in Bumfuck South Texas. Record burnings, merchandise burnings, book burnings, all were commonplace. A very palpable, and very specifically "Anti-Beatle" hate got instilled in a lot of kids/teens at that point, so anything to do with the Beatles was taboo for "good people" (read Southern Baptists) to like.

That, of course, made me love them that much more, and to follow their paths from their breakup forward with 'bated breath, buying every 45 they put out, trying to save pennies up to buy their albums.

John was the radical hippie, the one who wanted peace, the one with the weirdo wife, the one who held a "Bed-In" for peace. In a very fundamental-to-our-generation way, John Lennon was OUR "Jesus".

Richard Nixon (president from '68 to '74) HATED him.

In 1971, there was a true mass consciousness that incorporated us along with our older siblings, a musical mass consciousness. I became aware of many things in 1969, specifically fall of '69, so I was experiencing all this in real-time, as it happened. When the news that The Beatles officially broke up came across the AM radiowaves in May of '70, it was A. Very. Big. Deal. Everyone watched everything they did from that point on with GREAT interest.

George put out "My Sweet Lord" and "What Is Life" (first record I ever bought), John put out "Instant Karma", "Mother", then "Power To The People", then "Imagine". Ringo put out "It Don't Come Easy", and Paul & Linda had "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey". EVERYBODY was a "post-breakup Beatle critic", panning Paul's very first solo 45 "Another Day", "Uncle Albert" was the followup. This band called Badfinger that sounded suspiciously like The Beatles appeared on American radio, and would make 1972 one of the final "Golden Years" of AM Rock Radio.

In 1970 we heard about this Elton John guy, by the end of '72, I was playing as many of his songs on the piano as I could figure out. My favorite album was (still is) "Madman Across The Water". When "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" came out in '73, a very noticeable shift was occuring.

Pop became much less political. It softened. It mellowed. It grew its hair long and lived in the country, learned how to grow potatoes and play the mandolin, making Country Rock the one lasting "legacy" of our sad sub-generation. By the time I graduated HS in May of '77, it was all there was on the radio, besides....disco. Oof.

One of my first TV memories was JFK getting shot. That was the Generational Wounding of our older brothers and sisters. When Mark Chapman (a Christian nationalist who changed the words of "Imagine" to "Imagine there's no John Lennon") shot John in December of 1980, it was the 2 in the 1-2 PUNCH done to our OUR generation. The first, of course, being the installing of Reagan and the evil Evangelical influence beginning in earnest.

It also began the buildup of the "Holy War" radical right, and an utter denial and clampdown of "hippie", of "counterculture" in general began, ensuring that John's vision of world peace would never come true, at least not on their watch. They had, effectively, killed OUR Jesus, along with our chances of the kind of security our older sibs got in spades. It also marked the unholy marriage of the evangelicals and the republican apparatus.

When Reagan got elected by virtue of the vile Newt Gingrich's 'Southern Strategy', a clampdown in earnest on the very SPIRITUAL EXISTENCE of our generation's incredible want and need, our collective JONESING for world peace began. Richard Nixon had planted the seeds. Nixon hated John Lennon with a passion. After Reagan was elected, I firmly believe Chapman was "activated" and they killed John as a Christmas present to Nixon.

It was after that, when the dream of a scientific future began to die, as well. When we were in high school, SCIENCE WAS EVERYTHING, so we wanted to be some kind of scientist "when we grew up".

I dealt with four years of college, majored in Biology, and in early 1981 realized my dream of being a Forest Ranger in Yosemite or some other national park somewhere, living in a cabin, giving talks to visitors about the biology aspects of the park....all that went POOF, almost instantaneously. My degree would get me nowhere, so I left before the end of that year and started working in record stores.

I was effectively the Cusack character in the movie about record stores, but it led to a dead end. Record stores weren't all that glamorous, and yes, the pay was dogshit. I tried working in record stores for the love of the music, while trying to BE a musician in a town FILLED OVER FLOWING with musicians, but that was quickly shat on by the beginning shrieks of late-stage capitalism.

It was like working in the record stores was my trying to keep holding onto the dream, our generation's dream...John's dream of world peace (along with my dream of being a working musician) died a pitiful death by the end of 1986.

What followed was nothing but a series of Jobs I Hated, and the beginnings of the true Jonesing for the life we'd been promised, because we didn't get the raises, the pensions, the house, the car, boat and camper, none of that shit for us. A life of being a low-paid, no-insurance drub, destined to be a life-long renter, unless a financial miracle happens.

So when people ask why we (as a generation) hate Ronald Reagan so much, let's just say I'm with Bugs on this one.

The Abrams tanks transferred to Ukraine by the United States are undermanned and not the most useful equipment for the Ukrainian military, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said. Yet, despite this failure, coupled with many other Western weapon failures in Ukraine, the Biden administration is still burning tens of billions of dollars on Ukraine’s failed war effort against Russia in the knowledge that support will slow down once Donald Trump enters the White House next month.

“Those Abram tanks units are actually undermanned because it’s not the most useful piece of equipment for them in this fight, exactly as our military said,” he said during a speech at the Reagan National Defense Forum in California on December 8.

Sullivan also referred to the F-16 fighter jets that US President Joe Biden authorized sending to Ukraine in May last year.

“It’s now December of 2024, and we’ve had a limited number of pilots train not because we’re not prepared to train them ��� we are, as many as possible — but because the Ukrainians do not have the pilots to be able to build a full F-16 capability in time,” the security adviser said.

On December 2, Sullivan stated that the US would impose more sanctions on Russia before the current president leaves office next month to make way for Donald Trump. However, imposing new sanctions on Moscow is not the only last desperate effort made by the Biden administration to continue its anti-Russia agenda to the very end.

OC Interview questions for our beautiful, beloved Jiahao (and Charity too if you feel like it!)💕

Who makes up your family? How close are you to them?

12. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? (on vacation or permanently!)

24. What would you consider your main love language?

thank you!! I answered for Charity too!

1. Who makes up your family? How close are you to them?

JIAHAO  Her family is very much just her, her mom, and her sister. While he is aware of his extended family (he has lots of cousins, aunts, uncles, etc), he isn’t particularly close to any of them. She’s very close to her sister though. When Jia came out, Adanne was fully adamant on protecting him and made sure anyone who made fun of Jia sorely regretted it. The level of confidence Jia has now is almost entirely due to the protection of her sister then. 

She’s relatively close to her mom. For a long time, she saw Charity as Reagan’s wife, you know? Like an extension of his dad. When Charity and Reagen separated, Jia started to actually get to know her mom as Charity Sullivan not Charity Thorne. They’re still getting to know each other but Jia is liking what she knows so far so… 🤞. 

CHARITY  Charity has a large family. Siblings and half-siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents. Comes with the territory. That’s your typical African family! Problem? She hasn’t really spoken to them for over a decade… Now she’s reconnecting with everyone to various degrees of success. 

She’s a little distant with her oldest daughter, Adanne. They were really close when Ada was younger but grew apart with time. Now, they’re rekindling their relationship and trying to correct the past :) 

Jiahao is almost a second try for Charity. The way she sees it: Jiahao will be like Adanee if she doesn’t do something in time. So Charity wants to course correct all the bad years and make them better! Spend more time together and all!  

12. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? (on vacation or permanently!) 

JIAHAO  Jia is a world-traveler baby! All the biggest cities, all the nightlife, fun times are rolling~ Being a manga enjoyer, I do think she’d stop by tokyo, japan first and do a mini-tour of all the typical stuff! (And he’d be a permanent vacationer, assuming that he doesn’t have to worry about expenses ofc–) 

CHARITY  Honestly she really likes Crimson Beech. Like for all its faults with vampires and whatnots, its a charming town! Small, kind, close-knit… she really wouldn’t want to trade it for anywhere else. However, national parks would be her jam. While she’d mostly keep working, she’d take the occasional trip to Big Bend, Yellowstone, Okumu, Old Oyo, etc. 

24. What would you consider your main love language?

JIAHAO  Honestly? Not much of a preference?? If his partner likes words of affirmation, then she’d understand that when she receives that from that specific partner then they’re trying to convey their love for him. (<- this might change with time but for now:) Because really, you’ll never buy her a gift she couldn’t get herself, you’ll never tell her something she can’t tell herself, etc.

CHARITY   Words of Affirmation, for sure! There’s something that makes her glow up when someone cares and notices her efforts to say it out loud to her. It really makes her entire day like nobody’s business. Though she is a little more hesitant about wearing her heart on her sleeve these days, it’s one of the few things that she could never quite cover up.

SOBRE MIREILLE MATHIEU

En casi 60 años de carrera, Mireille Mathieu ha grabado unas 1200 canciones en 9 idiomas diferentes y ha publicado hasta la fecha 70 álbumes de estudio en todo el mundo y vendido 200 millones de discos.

Mireille nació para ser cantante. Su carrera profesional, que comenzó el 21 de noviembre de 1965, ha sido "un cuento hecho realidad", como ella misma decía.

Nacida en Avignon y la mayor de 14 hijos, Mireille ofreció su primera actuación pública a la edad de 4 años en la Misa de Gallo. A principios de los 60, el mánager francés Johnny Stark se fijó en la encantadora belleza vocal de Mireille tras aparecer en el programa de televisión "Le Jeu de la Chance", donde ganó el 1er premio cantando a Edith Piaf.

Más tarde, el manager convirtió a Mireille en su propia estrella después de que firmara un contrato con él. Rápidamente fue aclamada como la nueva Édith Piaf y su actuación en 1965 en el Olympia de París, desencadenó su relación discográfica con Barclay Records, con la que su primer álbum vendió más de 1 millón de copias en muy poco tiempo. Mireille, con mucho tesón, siguió adelante para hacer carrera en Francia, Alemania y Europa, Estados Unidos (una memorable aparición en el programa de Ed Sullivan en 1966 ante 50 millones de espectadores), Rusia, Asia (primera cantante europea en cantar en un escenario en China) y el resto del mundo.

Mireille fue "Marianne de France" de 1978 a 1985, después del icono francés Brigitte Bardot. Marianne es el busto de la mujer más bella de una década en Francia y está colocado en todos los Ayuntamientos de Francia. Marianne también representa la libertad y la república.

En 1997, Mireille fue condecorada con el "Chevalier de l'Ordre national du Mérite et des Arts et des Lettres" y condecorada con "La Legión de Honor" por su servicio a la Nación de Francia". De su recibimiento por el Papa Juan Pablo II, Su Santidad ha dicho: "Es la cantante del Amor y de la Paz".

Ha sido invitada de líderes de Estado como la reina Isabel II, Ronald Reagan, Helmut Kohl, Vladimir Poutine, François Mitterrand y muchos más...

También fue nombrada Caballero de la Legión de Honor francesa en 1999 por el presidente Jacques Chirac y Oficial en 2011 por el presidente Sarkhozy. Tiene el estatus equivalente en otros países como Alemania, Rusia, Italia...

A lo largo de su carrera, Mireille ha cantado a dúo con estrellas internacionales como Charles Aznavour, Barry Manilow, Paul Anka, Plácido Domingo, Patrick Duffy, Tom Jones, Julio Iglesias, Dean Martin y muchos más...

Ha recibido numerosos premios musicales en varios países, como 4 Bambis en Alemania, una "Victoire de la musique" en Francia y "Donna Roma" en Italia, entre otros.

Serena's Basic Info

Name: Serena Odette Sullivan

Serena's faceclaims came pretty easily, I must say. The only one I struggled to find was the one from the 60s, but I ultimately decided on Claudine Auger (Thunderball). For the 80s, we have Robyn Lively (Karate Kid 3). In the 90s - Alicia Witt (Twin Peaks). And, of course, for the current day, we have Violet Brinson (Walker).

Nicknames: Rena (her friends), Odie (her dad and grandma), Sully (a Monster’s Inc reference used by Vivien, basically calling her a big, hairy monster), She-Devil (quite a few people, but only behind her back)

Age: 16

Date of Birth: May 31

Zodiac: Gemini

Birthstone: Emerald

Nationality: Scottish, Irish, and American

Sexuality: Bi-curious (she hasn’t tried anything with a girl yet, but she's more than a bit curious)

Birthplace: Lafayette, Louisiana

Current Residence: Treasure Island, Florida

Occupation: High school junior, cheerleader and soccer captain

Talents/Skills: Sneaking out, applying flawless makeup, and talking her way out of trouble.

Birth order: Oldest of two - the other is a half-brother.

Siblings: Sawyer Louis (6 years old)

Parents: Marcus Elliott Sullivan and Emma Louise Reagan

Step-father: David Price

Signature:

Height: 5’3”

Race: White

Eye Color: Hazel

Hair Color: Red

Glasses or contact lenses: Refuses to buy any despite needing them as she feels they make her look like some old librarian

Distinguishing features: Freckles everywhere, deep dimples, cleft chin, and scars on her right arm and hip from a car accident. However, she is most often seen in head-to-toe purple, so she’s not exactly easy to miss.

Mannerisms: Twirling her hair around her finger when deep in thought, chewing the inside of her cheek when nervous, and constantly adjusting her hair if she feels it’s not sitting right or her hair ties aren’t tight enough.

Health: She was born with a heart condition but grew out of it, and she has type 1 diabetes which she wears a glucose monitor for (in modern times).

Hobbies: She occasionally writes poetry or paints, but soccer and cheerleading take up most of her time, so hobbies are more of a fantasy than anything.

Greatest flaw (in their opinion): If you were to ask her, she would look at you like you’d grown another head and ask if you were serious, however, even she admits she has more than one. To her, it would have to be how fragile she is internally. She may act like a mythic bitch, but it’s just that - an act. She’s not heartless. In fact, she’s quite the opposite. Her prissy, holier-than-thou behavior is a front to keep people at a distance, but it doesn’t take much to break that down. She’s not great at controlling her emotions, so you either get the full brunt of it all at once and she breaks down crying while she screams at you, or you get a stone wall ready to tear you apart with her words; there is no in-between with her. 

Best quality (in their opinion): Her loyalty. When she’s friends with someone or is put on a team with people, she will put everyone and everything else aside to help them get through things. When it comes to friendships, she doesn’t have a lot, but those she is close with, she’s a ride-or-die for. However, her loyalty toward both her cheer and soccer teams is plain as day as she would do anything for them. She holds grudges long after the person offended has dropped the issue, but that’s just what friends do, right?

Biggest fear: She’s constantly worried that her little glass castle is going to break and everyone will see what’s going on behind the scenes. On the outside, she has a perfect life - her mom got a good chunk of money in the divorce on top of child support, her dad runs one of the largest companies in the state, and she’s spoiled by both of them as they fight to be her favorite. However, when her mom remarried, the money stopped, and they had to move further from her dad, she found herself struggling to keep herself together. Instead, she pretends that they still have all the money she was accustomed to, acts as though she doesn’t hate her life, and portrays to everyone else that things are perfect. Her biggest fear is someone finding a crack and destroying the image she knows and loves. She would do anything to prevent this from happening, of course, but it still terrifies her.

Hogwarts House: Slytherin

Favorite ice cream: Black raspberry chocolate chip

Favorite color: Purple

Favorite number: 1, because if you can’t be the best, why even try?

Favorite songs: Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez, Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version) by Taylor Swift, and Primadonna by MARINA

A place they want to visit: Milan, Italy, or Grindelwald, Switzerland

Téhéran, février 1979.

Je n'ai qu'une très courte et laconique légende au dos de cette planche contact : 

"les évènements d’Iran. L'ambassadeur des États-Unis William H. Sullivan après sa libération, photographié à travers les barreaux de l'ambassade".

La photo est quelconque, mais ce court évènement préfigure d'une certaine manière les évènements qui allaient se produire le 4 novembre suivant, avec l'occupation de l'ambassade américaine par 300 à 400 "étudiants islamiques «et la prise en otages des membres de l'ambassade, qui seront libérés le 20 janvier 1981, le jour de l'investiture de Ronald Reagan.

1980s hits!

Anne of Green Gables, The Princess Bride, Back to the Future, The Land Before Time, Oliver & Company & like. Half of Ghibli’s hits are from this era, do you have a fav?

Anne of Green Gables

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite| masterpiece

Assuming you're talking about the Kevin (?) Sullivan one, BELOVED. I have very fond memories of watching it at my grandparents' place... my grandfather loves AoGG (he was born in New Brunswick!). I used to be quite the Anne girlie lol, still have fond memories of it even though I only remember the first half of the movie 🥰

The Princess Bride

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

Top movies of all time. I am not necessarily an 80s 'everything was better then' (lmao not with reagan as president...) but movies in the 80s were insanely next level. The Princess Bride is one of my all time favourite movies! It's perfect for ANY mood, it's bisexual catnip, and it's infinitely quotable. Cary Elwes in this movie is STILL the ideal man.

Back to the Future

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

Quite possibly my literal favourite movie of all time. I can never get tired of it. Michael J Fox, short Canadian king. You built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?? (I own four, btw: two BTTF DeLorean Christmas ornaments, a hot wheels one, and a playmobil one). The first movie is perfect on its own, but the trilogy is also insanely good. If you haven't seen it, i think you perhaps haven't lived. Yes the actual time travel science is bullshit according to other time travel movies, but I don't CARE. also I literally wrote a whole BTTF AU. this is my movie.

The Land Before Time

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

We had this on VHS (dating myself here...) and I really enjoyed it! Justice for the 80s/90s animations that were not Disney... also they made leafs look fucking delicious.

Oliver & Company

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

Disney's flop era... I'm a Robin Hood girlie. Precursor to the weird 2000s era where they just told whatever stories they wanted. Oliver Twist but with animals in New York City is a fun concept. I haven't seen it though. Should I watch it?

Okay yeah, I looked up what Ghiblis were in the 80s and uh.

Castle in the Sky

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

All Ghiblis are a masterpiece, but even when you ignore all the fun pirate stuff in Castle in the Sky, it's surprisingly... haunting? We got a bunch of Ghibli movies on DVD one Christmas, and we watched Ponyo one night, and then followed it up with this one... it just feels so... melancholy. And yet full of whimsy (it's a warning about mistreating the earth and resources like so many of them are, goddamn it). Anyway, picturing the giant floating tree now... and feeling emotional.
