lesbians? yes or no

neil-gaiman answered:

You can never have too many lesbians. Unless, following an encounter with an iceberg, you’re on a lifeboat with a strictly limited capacity, obviously.

i just wanted to say as someone who came out as genderqueer in 2011, you are in no way obligated to switch from using "older" other gender terms to newer ones like nonbinary. it's okay if you like the term nonbinary, but it's also okay if you'd rather stick with something else instead, like neutrois, genderqueer, genderless, boygirl, multigender, or whatever else your preferred term may be. use what suits you

On 22 July 1936 the Ritz Hotel in Barcelona, named El Palace, was taken over by its workers and socialised during the revolutionary events after the outbreak of the Spanish civil war.
The hotel was seized by workers’ committees of the CNT and UGT unions as part of the socialisation of the hotel industry. The workers eliminated ostentation, renamed the hotel Hotel Gastronómico No 1, provided meals for local working class families, converted the hotel rooms into hospital rooms and repurposed the basement as a bomb shelter.
Later on, as the Republican government consolidated power and gradually put an end to workers’ self-management, the state took control of the hotel in 1937, and used it to host official visitors and for government meetings.

My dad keeps saying you should have made it The Beatles instead of Queen….. any thoughts?

neil-gaiman answered:

The kindness of Queen meant we got to use the words and music of Queen in Good Omens book and TV. The Beatles do not own their catalogue and no kindness could have helped.

On this day, 17 July 2014, Eric Garner, an unarmed Black man, was murdered by white NYPD officers whilst arresting him after they suspected him of illegally selling cigarettes. He was choked to death using a banned chokehold manoeuvre while he pleaded with officers, telling them 11 times “I can’t breathe”. On December 3 of that same year a grand jury decided not to charge the NYPD officer who put Garner in a lethal chokehold. The event sparked protests and rallies across the US. On July 13, 2015, an out-of-court settlement was announced in which the City of New York would pay the Garner family $5.9 million.
While the killer officer was eventually fired in 2019, none of the police involved in Garner’s murder have been charged with any offence. Instead New York City painted the words “Black Lives Matter” on one lane of a short stretch of 5th Avenue.

On this day, 18 July 1969, Black Panthers held a conference in Oakland alongside the white anti-racist Young Patriots Organisation and Puerto Rican street gang-turned-radical group the Young Lords.
The Young Patriots were a group of poor, mostly Appalachian migrants in Chicago. Although they opposed racism, they originally wore Confederate flags, which they believed were a symbol of rebellion. As they worked more with communities of colour, they abandoned the flag as an irredeemable symbol of white supremacy.
Leading Panther Fred Hampton played a key role in building links with them and other white working class youth, until he was assassinated by police.
In his speech, William “Preacherman” Fesperman of the Young Patriots, argued for armed self-defence against police brutality: “A gun on the side of a pig means two things: it means racism and it means capitalism and the gun on the side of a revolutionary, on the side of the people, means solidarity and socialism.”

Tony the Tiger aka Tony the Hustler & Cherie Greene aka Cherie the Penguin, LA first wave punk couple visiting San Francisco punk temple Mabuhay Gardens in Jan. 1978, as captured by SF street photographer Greg Gaar & found on The Fab Mab FB group.

From the few bits & pieces I managed to trace on the internet about those early LA punk scenesters & sexual adventurers, I found Tony mentioned as a ‘gay-for-pay male hustler’ and Cherie remembered as 'the gregarious dominatrix singer of the band Butch’ according to Kid Congo’s ‘Some New Kind Of Kick’ memoir. Another post on Cherie, this time by Doug Fitzsimmons on his @punk_diversity IG account, provides some more enlightening backstory after a talk he had with her, such as her relationship & marriage to Tony and the incident that earned her her nickname from the tux and tails she was wearing the night she crashed a party at Wilton Hilton, the infamous ramshackle Craftsman duplex/ Screamers then-headquarters, where the best parties were supposedly held, fueled by acid, sex and… ghosts.

On this day, 9 July 1917, in New York City, anarchists Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, were sentenced to serve two years in prison, to pay fines of $10,000 each, and to be subsequently deported to for violating conscription law during World War I.
The pair had previously formed a No-Conscription League, and agitated against the war. They defended themselves at trial, and used the opportunity to talk about their political ideas.
Before they considered the verdict, the judge then told the jury: “In the conduct of this case, the defendants have shown remarkable ability. An ability which might have been utilised for the great benefit of this country, had they seen fit to employ themselves in behalf of it rather than against it. In this country of ours we regard as enemies those who advocate the abolition of our government and those who counsel disobedience to our laws by those of minds less strong. American liberty was won by the forefathers, it was maintained by the civil war, and today there are the thousands who have already gone, or are getting ready to go, to foreign lands to represent their country in the battle for liberty.”
He then instructed the jury that “whether the defendants are right or wrong can have no bearing on the verdict. The duty of the jury is merely to weigh the evidence presented as to the innocence or guilt of the defendants of the crime as charged.”
With their sentencing, US Marshal McCarthy stated: “This marks the beginning of the end of Anarchism in New York.”

On this day, 6 July 1992, Black trans activist and sex worker Marsha P. Johnson’s body was found in the Hudson River. She is most famous for participating in the Stonewall rebellion, which sparked a global movement for LGBT+ liberation, but she also spent years doing radical organising on the ground.
Johnson took part in the Gay Liberation Front and the demonstration on the anniversary of the beginning of the Stonewall riots which became Pride. She then co-founded Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries with her friend Sylvia Rivera, a radical grouping which also provided housing and support for gay, gender nonconforming and trans youth. Later she threw herself into AIDS activism, becoming an organiser in ACT UP. All the while Johnson engaged in survival sex work and was constantly harassed by police, being arrested over 100 times.
After her body was discovered, police ruled her death a suicide, despite her having a massive head wound. Friends and activists insisted that Johnson wasn’t suicidal, and highlighted evidence that she may have been murdered. Eventually in late 2012 the NYPD reopened the case as a possible homicide. It remains unsolved.
We tell the story of the Stonewall rebellion and the GLF in our podcast episodes 25-26 where we speak to participants: https://workingclasshistory.com/2019/05/13/e21-22-the-stonewall-riots-and-pride-at-50/ https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=657002103139675&set=a.602588028581083&type=3

On this day, 2 July 1848, enslaved people in St Croix (now the US Virgin Islands) rebelled, burned down plantations and besieged the town of Frederiksted. The Caribbean island was at that time a Danish colony, and it had been decreed that slavery would be abolished in 1859, but the enslaved workers refused to wait.
After revolutions in Europe led to turmoil in nearby Martinique and Guadeloupe, hundreds of rebels seized the moment and rose up. By the end of the day, only the local military garrison, Fort Frederiksværn, had not yet been overrun.
The following day, the governor general, Peter von Scholten arrived. Faced with demands from the enslaved people to immediately abolish slavery, or they would burn the town to the ground, he relented and shouted out: “Now you are free, you are hereby emancipated.”
Technically von Scholten had no authority to abolish slavery, and he was strongly criticised by enslavers and Danish authorities. But faced with a fait accompli, Denmark had no real choice but to accept the situation. The agreement achieved by the formerly enslaved people went even further than just immediate emancipation, as the order issued on the night of July 3 also applied to the Danish colonies of St Thomas and St John, and directed that the enslaved had the right to keep their current housing and provisions for three months, and that elderly and ill labourers had to be looked after by the former enslavers “until further determination”.
The old enslavers subsequently sued the Danish government demanding recompense for the loss of their “property”. Danish Parliament rejected their claim, on the grounds that “slavery [was] itself an institution in conflict with religion and justice”. But they did then agreed to pay a relatively low compensation figure of $50 per enslaved person.

On this day, 1 July 1938, tenants living in slum conditions in Quinn Square, Bethnal Green, London, held a meeting and elected a committee to take forward their concerns about high rents and appalling conditions. Residents in all 240-odd flats attended, and complained about broken steps, broken handrails, unusable wash houses, damp, lavatory doors with no locks, falling ceilings, peeling wallpaper and more. In August they launched a rent strike until repairs were undertaken and rent prices reduced. The dispute was organised and run by women, who paraded through local streets with placards bearing slogans like “Less Rent, More Repairs”, and picketed their estate office daily. When rent collectors arrived, they were followed by huge crowds of women and children and booed. Fascist thugs under the control of Oswald Mosley – himself a big landlord – turned up to try to break up tenants’ meetings – but they were shown short shrift by the locals. After two weeks of solid action, the landlord relented, agreeing to recognise the tenants’ association, carry out repairs, reduce rents and consult tenants on future changes.
