The whole Pepsi commercial thing reminded me that people always mis-remember the famous flower in the gun barrel photo as being a young woman. It wasn’t. The photo, taken by Bernie Boston, is of George Edgerly Harris III better known by his stage name Hibiscus. He was a member of the San Francisco based radical gay liberation theater troupe the Cockettes. He died of AIDS in 1982 at the time AIDS was still referred to by the name GRID which stood for Gay Related Immuno-Deficiency. The photo was taken at a protest at the Pentagon.
I had no idea who he was, thank you.
This is one example of the Mandela Effect phenomena, where an iconic moment is reenacted with a hippy woman so many times that people think that’s the story and thus another gay man is written out of history. Thanks for the photo.
I had no idea. Wow.
This photo was taken by Bernie Boston, a black/native man who willingly stood up to a chapter of the KKK and earned their respect among other things
I get the subject is important, but please dont erase Bernie. I knew him personally and he deserves to be remembered and by only remembering the subject, a white man, you erase a black man.
@vaspider could you reblog this version too, please? I am deeply upset by Bernie’s erasure from his own work.
Reblogging for credit to the photographer, and so I can look up his work on desktop later.
detective pikachu looks like a nightmare, literally speaking it looks like something i’d see in a nightmare about pokemon being real
and i can’t fucking wait to see it and see just how scary all of the other realistic pokemon will look. mr. mime looks horrifying. jigglypuff looks wrong and all hairy. some of the bird pokemon have realistic beaks and it looks really uncanny. the greninja has white in its eyes to match the cartoon model but it just makes it look scary since real frogs don’t have those and the greninja head is otherwise rendered so realistically. this movie is gonna be awesome and i can’t wait. it’s gonna be the Mario movie all over again.
look at this. the little hairs on his head. the horns look like blue carrots. his shoulders look like dodgeballs. the frighteningly humanoid hand inside of the glove that’s so frighteningly realistic looking that i can’t tell if it’s cgi. everything is rendered as if it actually has real-world weight and mass and it all droops under gravity appropriately. this is horrifying. they can’t have done this by accident. they know mr. mime is already terrifying and they decided to go all out. they have to be doing this on purpose and i can’t wait to see more.
I’ve just been messaged by my housemate who went to America to see her partner. Due to unforseen circumstances, it’s all gone bad. She needs to get back as soon as possible. As you guys have already been informed, I’m skint. I need money to get to Manchester airport to pick her up, and I’m humbly asking you guys for donations. I’m going to do a stream as soon as i’ve eaten my tea, which will be in the next twenty minutes at the most. I have Dark souls II Scholar of the first sin installed so I’m going to do a stream on that. If you guys want to join me I’ll be on twitch @ https://www.twitch.tv/jollycooperationbrothers, so join me for an unpromptu stream and if you want to donate then please feel free, otherwise, enjoy watching me slog through this nightmare of a game.
I’ve never taken donations and I don’t really know what I’m doing! My email address to my paypay is leemcsausage@gmail.com, any donations, no matter how small will definitely help!
Also big reveal, my name is Lee! Feel free to ask me questions in the chat section, that’d be fantastic! also one final note, I don’t have a microphone of any sort so you won’t hear my voice but I will type replies in the comment section. I’m very sorry, but it’s the best I can do at short notice! Much love and praise the sun!
Also, within the order Lepidoptera, which includes moths and butterflies…. moth species greatly outnumber butterfly species.
So, statistically, it’s much more likely that a caterpillar spends its whole caterpillar life thinking it’s going to grow up to be a gorgeous, colorful, ruffed and fluffed moth like all of those above, and instead it emerges from its chrysalis (not a cocoon; that was its first mistake) as
Of course they aren’t ugly and mystical af but please don’t underestimate that some of them ARE dangerous! They can happily flap around outside but don’t let them get into your homes 😊
