Marsha P. Johnson

One of the leaders of the LGBT+ movement in America, she was known not only for her strength and bravery as an activist, but also for her boundless generosity. If you complimented an accessory of hers, she’d give it to you.

This is part one in a series of animated portraits I’ve been working on this summer of women I admire!

Now seems like a good time to remember that lgbt rights were fought for, not freely given.

And that the first pride was a riot, lead by black trans activists.

THE DEATH AND LIFE OF MARSHA P. JOHNSON (2017)

History isn’t something you look back at and say it was inevitable. It happens because people make decisions that are sometimes very impulsive and of the moment, but those moments are cumulative realities. — Marsha P. Johnson

Queens started being filed out and being put into police cars, and guns had been drawn. Molotov cocktails were flying. And I’m like, “Oh my God, the revolution is here. Thank God. You’ve been treating us like shit all these years? Uh uh. Now it’s our turn.” — Sylvia Rivera

THE FIRST PRIDE WAS A RIOT HAPPY PRIDE | BLACK LIVES MATTER

i just realized the new animal crossing lacking gyroids makes sense because you live on an uninhabited island and the gyroids are literally graves

you cant dig up a grave if no ones died there yet

 you know what that means

Finding gyroidite out in the open in Pocket Camp has gotten SIGNIFICANTLY stranger

this is why coco’s house looks like a pyre, for some of these figures the body would be cremated and the ash mixed with clay to create the statue

her japanese name is also Yayoi which is a reference to the japanese yayoi period which is when the haniwa statues that eventually inspired gyroids came about

so coco is more like. a ghost possessing a statue.

here are some japanese haniwa figures from the kofun period that more closely resemble the in-game gyroids ( note the arms! ). the rain’s part in this was mostly, like with any other shallow grave, loosening tge earth around them and washing it away, allowing it to eventually work its way up to the surface.

in older iterations if you went to another town then restarted your console, your face would be that of a gyroids to try to scare you into remembering to save everything properly
