this blog doesn’t rlly have a coherent theme, it’s just a jumbled mashup of things i like! if u follow u can expect kidcore/nostalgia, humor, art, and whatever media I’m into at the moment. it runs on an untagged queue, tho i will tag more universal triggers + any that are requested. i do read mutuals blacklists but i have terrible memory so pls tell me if i need to tag something i reblogged for u!
the occasional spicy post is fine, but i block nsfw-only blogs. pls lmk if i ever reblog something icky, chances are extremely high i didn’t notice whatevers wrong w it
my interests r constantly shifting but i’m most interested in these atm
@retroscourge is for showcasing old warrior cats fanart
i’m also building a ranma episode guide, tho it’s far from finished!! suggestions/corrections are welcome (update: this is being moved to neocities and is on pause atm)

“Mrs R” was the pseudonym of Phyllis Shafer, a Kansas City local who helped found the Phoenix Society for Individual Freedom in 1966, a full three years before Stonewall. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, she and her son Drew operated the Phoenix House, a safe haven for queer people in the city, and a hub of national queer activism. Drew passed away due to AIDS related complications in the 1980s, and his lover, Mickey Ray, spent the rest of his life fighting to keep his memory alive, largely contributing to the creation of the Gay and Lesbian Archive of Mid-America.
“We tend to view American history as this constant march toward progress, which is total crap,” he says. “You gotta fight for that stuff. And if you don’t fight for that, you can fall backward. Like it’s not just this linear history.“
Good quote from the article which may be relevant right now.
Bring this bad boy back with some delicious context for pride
[image description: a scan of a typed letter that reads as follows:
Gentlemen: I am not of the Gay World, but “straight.” I have one child, a 22 year old boy, who has been Gay since he was 14 years old. I have known about this since last April. Since then I have made his life my life. My husband and I have a large three-story house and are filling our house with Gay boys. So far we have six who are rooming and boarding with us. The people I have know so far of the Gay World are wonder-ful, talented, fascinating people. I love them all. Since they have come to our home they are much more settled down, much happier and more secure. In our home they know they can be themselves and are protected. What a pity there cannot be more “straight” people who understand and accept Gay peo-ple. My son says I know more about Gay Life and homosexuality than a lot of Gay people. I am trying to write a book, in order to bring better relationships between parents and children of the Gay World. We have had parties in our home accommodating 25 to 30 at a time that were talked about for months afterward. They were nice, decent parties, where they can have drinks and be them-selves. Mrs. R. Kansas City, MO. /end description]
