Really it is /something/ that since the “‘ban”’ I’ve seen /more/ porn bots and have had /more/ of my work reblogged with porn links then ever before
I get followed by like 5 times as many per day than before.
@staff You drained the swamp like Orange Donny.

My first #transformationtuesday picture pays tribute to my own evolution. It starts in public in 2004 with a kind of trans girly look, transformed into a black hair #rockabella very quick (picture from 2011 in the middle) and goes to what I am today on the right. I had a lot of influences and supporting people during that transformation but there’s one thing that’s still the same: the person behind this masquerade! Happy #transformation 2019! (hier: Berlin)

He would have been 70 today…
David Bowie, photographed by Ray Stevenson while relaxing at home in 1969, shortly after the release of “Space Oddity”, his first single which launched him to stardom.
“…This is Major Tom to Ground Control,
I’m stepping through the door,
And I’m floating in the most peculiar way,
And the stars look very different today,
For here am I sitting in my tin can,
Far above the world,
Planet Earth is blue,
And there’s nothing I can do…”
Rest in peace David Bowie, gone on this day two years ago (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016).
Don’t even know who Nancy is
Courtney straight up telling her to fucking delete tho
a white gay man telling a japanese trans woman that she’s “privileged” for jokingly saying she hates politics…i have to laugh
You (babyfairy) mean a non-binary pansexual Australian.
Don’t play the cis card here it doesn’t applay and only shows your ignorance.
We`ll always have Paris:
Debbie Harry performing with Blondie at Le Stadium in Paris in 1978, as documented by Christian Rose (photos no.1-4) & Jean Louis Rancure (photos no.5-6).
I firmly believe this is the sexiest set of photos from her early live performances (and god knows I’ve posted a lot of her pics through the years) and the best way I can think of to kick-start the year.
Miss January (and Miss Every Month, as far as I’m concerned).
Justine Johnstone, 1923
Wikipedia says she was an American stage and silent screen actress, pathologist and expert on syphilis, and that she was part of the team that developed the modern intravenous drip technique.
It goes on to say: When Johnstone’s husband fell ill in 1927, Johnstone became acquainted with his doctor, Samuel Hirschfeld. He convinced her to enroll in some science courses at Columbia University, where she studied plant research. Her work so impressed Harold T. Hyman, head of the science department of Columbia, that he and Hirschfeld hired her to work with them in their research. She joined the staff of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1929 as a research assistant in the pharmacology department.
She co-authored a paper with them concerning the development of the modern I.V. unit. Their key breakthrough was to slow down the rate of delivery and avoid what was then known as “speed shock” by introducing the now-ubiquitous drip technique. The three also conducted numerous experiments that led to the cure for syphilis.
During her time at Columbia, Johnstone co-authored (with a Dr. Blackberg) two other published papers. One dealt with the organization of resuscitation measures; the other, with melnauria. Later, Johnstone and her husband moved to Los Angeles, where as a research assistant to physicians she studied cancer and helped develope the discipline of endocrinology. To aid this research, she installed a laboratory in her house in Hollywood.
