For those who have trouble reading that:

Imagine being a black, gay drag queen in the 1800s after being born into enslavement AND having the style and cachè to throw soirées that the girls had to come to! That’s why I don’t want to hear this “we’re not our ancestors stuff.”
You’re right!

From The Very Black Project Page- William Dorsey Swann was a gay liberation activist. Born into slavery in 1858, he was the first person in the United States to lead a queer resistance group and the first known person to self-identify as a “queen of drag”. Imagine the queenery of this icon.

He was a slave in Hancock, Maryland and was freed by Union soldiers after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect. During the 1880s and 1890s, he organized a series of balls in Washington, D.C. He called himself the “queen of drag”. Most of the attendees his gatherings were men who were former slaves, and were gathering to dance in their satin and silk dresses.
William was arrested in police raids numerous times,including in the first documented case of arrests for female impersonation in the United States, on April 12, 1888. In 1896, he was falsely convicted and sentenced to 10 months in jail for “keeping a disorderly house” (running a brothel). After his sentencing, he requested a pardon from President Grover Cleveland. This request was denied, but but he was the first American on record who pursued legal and political action to defend the LGBTQ community’s right to gather.

He was known to have been close with Pierce Lafayette and Felix Hall, two men who had also both been slaves and who formed the first known male same-sex relationship between enslaved Americans.

When William stopped organizing and participating in drag events, his brother continued to make costumes for the drag community. Two of his brothers had also been active participants in his drag balls.

Imagine how intelligent and ambitious this man had to be to come up with drag balls in the 1800s! Imagine how many terrible concepts he had to unlearn by himself to be a confident gay black man who does drag in the 1800s! Imagine how courageous he had to be to fight for lgbt people as a former slave in America in the 1800s!

William Dorsey Swann is the original queen, the original drag mother, the original activist. Tell his story!

oh you think your life is hard? try being a gay rat living in france who hates your dad and just wants to cook

owlistic

why did this post make me realize there are no female rats in this movie

deathdaydream

image

actually there is, she has one line at the end when she says “how do you know?”

image

ok I just skimmed though the movie again, and here she is in the beginning, she just doesn’t say anything, and you wouldn’t guess she was a girl because they didn’t do that weird humanizing, tits and longer eyelashes thing that most movies with animals do.

image

i’m pretty sure that all the female coded rats are the smaller rats, which is apparently accurate to real rats. Remmy is also really small. after going though the movie I realized that there are only five rats that have actual lines. Remmy, Emile, the dad, the really big bodyguard rat, and the rat at the end. whack.

Hi, I'm a broke, disabled Black parent and I just want to give my kid a good Christmas.

I can't work and I'm fundraising for a wheelchair, the pandemic hit us hard because my spouse got furloughed for months and we're still catching up on bills. We don't have a lot of money for gifts for our 4 year old and she isn't able to go back to school so we're hoping to get her some educational toys as well as play gifts.

I've got two Amazon wishlists for her gifts as well as a paypal and cashapp you can donate to. I'm also still fundraising for my wheelchair.

This is the GoFundMe for my wheelchair

These are the wishlists

And these are my donation deets

As an alternative I've also got an Etsy shop where I sell handmade blankets and photographic prints, and I take commissions for altar cloths and stuffed animals through DM if you'd like to support a Black-owned business instead.

“Strawberry.”
“Really? Strawberry?”
“You love strawberry.”
Tony looked at Happy, then gave a quick nod. “That’s right,” he said crisply.
