HAVE THE BEST PRIDE MONTH!
Happy Pride to the Aces!
In the early 80s, as the AIDS crisis swept through New York City, Howard Ashman asked his favorite musical collaborator Alan Menken to help him put a tribute to music for the lives and community that were being lost.
This song was played at Ashman’s memorial service when he eventually died of AIDS in 1991.

It was something just left to the Mardi Gras When my friends and their friends were there But it’s getting much too quiet Tonight on Sheridan Square
I’m sure that it must mean something But it’s really too soon to tell When somebody’s gettin’ famous While nobody’s gettin’ well
And you can send my regrets to the party I’d like to make it, but just don’t dare And why is it still so quiet Tonight on Sheridan Square?
Johnny and Steve and Martin And a list that goes on too long Dennis and Bill and Barry You’re the reason I wrote this song
Some of the boys have panic But none of the boys leave town They say, “We’re on the good ship Titanic We’re gonna sing ‘til the boat goes down."
And if it ended before it started Well no one told us that life is fair And why is it still so quiet Tonight on Sheridan Square?
Somebody make a note of this You people who know the trends The wild ones are turning lovers The lovers are turning friends
And if some good rises out of everything Then the phoenix is rising there In the eyes that are scared, but softer Tonight on Sheridan Square
Johnny and Steve and Martin And a list that goes on too long Dennis and Bill and Barry You’re the reason I wrote this song
When you carry a load like we do What’s another few pounds to share? We can make it until the sun comes up And it will O'er Sheridan Square

is jake gyllenhaal gay??
why would you ask us, a narnia blog, this
happy pride month to this post specifically
you have to admit, “a Spark fugue” is a much cooler name for it than “adhd hyperfocus”
and “consumed by my hyperfixation” is pretty cool, but it “in the madness place” is still objectively better
listen!
listen to me!!
LISTEN EVERYBODY!!!

Rocky Horror is turning 50 next month and people still act like being gay was invented by Ellen in 1997
But honestly! Renowned French poet Théophile de Viau wrote the poetic ode to King James titled "The Duke of Buckingham," containing the immortal lines "One man fucks Monsieur le Grand de Bellegarde/Another fucks the Comte de Tonnerre/And it is well known that the King of England/Fucks the Duke of Buckingham" exactly 400 years ago and people still act like being gay was invented by Oscar Wilde in 1890
Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep were buried together in the 25th century BC and people still act like being gay was invented by renowned French poet Théophile de Viau 400 years ago
Gilgamesh and Enkidu "loved each other like man and wife" in 2700 BC and ppl STILL act like being gay was invented by Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep in the 25th century BC
Nearly every social species on the planet has a non zero frequency of homosexuality and most likely had for millions of years before primates first evolved and ppl still act like being gay was invented by Gilgamesh and Enkidu in 2700 BC
[ID: a comment reading, "i fully know what you mean! but! i did also think "Oscar Wilde published The Picture of Dorian Gray 133 years ago as of 2 months from now, and people still act like being gay was invented by the Rocky Horror Show in 1973" and now i cannot stop laughing making more gay history comparisons." /end ID]
Yep, there’s gays!
art tips
- don't call what you create "content". regardless of what it is. that's the devil talking. call it art, call it writing, call it music, call it analysis, call it editing, literally just call it what it is
- I was going to put other things but oh my god please just don't call yourself a "content creator". you are a person you are making art / writing / music / etc you are an artist an author a musician
- you are not an Image Generator For Clicks And Views. please. allow yourself to connect with your work by naming it properly and acknowledging yourself in kind
Gonna add on to this, if that's ok, because I think a lot of people don't know how to categorize their work:
- Shitposting? You're a comedian, a satirist.
- Long posts about other people's art? You're a critic (positive), a scholar.
- Long posts exploring ideas, society, and the world around you? You're an essayist, a philosopher.
- Can't get enough of sharing information about X topic? You're a scholar, an educator, a columnist.
- Just love collecting and sharing other people's stuff on your blog? Archivist, curator, collector.
- Just not sure where you fit? Babe, you're a blogger.
You don't have to be a professional (ie get paid) to be any of these things. You can claim the title without making any claims to the quality of your work. It's ok.
as a critic myself, i love using the word “art” bc it is technically value neutral, but not everyone knows that, so instead of saying “content” i say “media.” it’s what i studied in school, it’s more precise - you create a form of media, in literally whatever MEDIUM that takes. i’m a critic who talks about both film/tv and also books and video games and comics, so i can encompass all of that by saying i consume MEDIA, not “content.” media has had a specific definition to encompass many formats for a long time - the use of “content” is deliberate, to pretend to reinvent the wheel as tech disruptors love to do, and claim something is “new” and therefore more exploitable.
These are all excellent points! I literally just watched this video by Struthless on the topic of the content-ification of art. Not only does he explain how we got here, he explains how artists can combat today's "content"-centric internet. It gave me a bit of hope for the future as an artist, I recommend it for anyone else feeling pessimistic about the state of it all!

yeah no, that dress is not made for a bra? i thought it was normal and like expected that bras dont go with dresses like that? especially bc the fabric in front can be so delicate that it can snag on the bra or look bulky and awkward, whereas if you go braless, nobody really notices bc its flowy. idk i agree with you! i wouldnt wear a bra with that! harlots unite, i guess!
HARLOTS UNITE
Ok, tell me I'm not crazy. I just bought a dress that has that weird sort-of-halter neckline that just doesn't go with a traditional bra. (the dress in question.) I think it's fairly obvious that the model isn't wearing a bra and that the dress is constructed with that in mind. My mother is insisting that this requires an uncomfortable strapless bra or I will be Found Out and labelled a hussy for letting my tits hang or something. Please tell me I'm the normal one here.

Not sure how I feel about Max Miller (Tasting History, which I love!) making a collab with Binging with Babish (who did sponsor for Hogwarts Legacy video game a few months ago and ignored all the comments on his video saying it was anti-Semitic/transphobic)... I know you are also a Tasting History fan and was wondering if you had thoughts
It sucks, but I really don't think Youtube personalities (and the world at large) are thinking about this stuff as much as other corners of the internet like here. I can't think of a single one that actually hawks sponsor products that work or that they've actually used (the only one is possibly a cleaning channel that's sponsored by cleaning products, but they've also used Better Help). That's capitalism mixed with 90s nostalgia, and I honestly count a lot of it as ignorance over what an endorsement actually does. As for someone who's a step removed from that even...I don't know these people. I don't think it's really my place to say.
