This needs to be a nationwide initiative!

I’m glad to see that they’re being fairly paid for the work.

I honestly sighed in relief when I saw it was $15 an hour. Good on San Jose.

yeah I was thinking they’d be paid a pittance but I was pleasantly surprised.

can we please stop reblogging that post about david bowie being a p-dophile because he supposedly slept with an underage groupie

the groupie, lori mattix, said in an interview with thrillist that she lost her virginity to him in 1973 when she was 15. but in an earlier interview with paul trynka, she claimed it happened in october 1972 when she was only 14. she also completely changed the narrative, first saying she snuck into his hotel room and later deciding he approached her at a restaurant.

also, according to another ex-groupie, she was confirmed in a relationship with jimmy page in the summer of 1972, well before bowie ever toured in california, where she lived.

he was pretty vocal about his stance against p-dophilia as he wrote “shopping for girls” about child trafficking in thailand, threatened to fire his drummer for sending teenage girls to his hotel room, and refused to perform the kiss scene written into the movie labyrinth because jennifer connelly was 14 at the time.

its good to fact check before spreading accusations as serious as this, especially about an activist who campaigned against racism against aboriginal people in australia, openly criticized MTV for not playing music videos by black artists, and, with his wife iman, donated millions of dollars to various human rights organizations in the third world.

Guys, PLEASE REBLOG THIS. Even if you’re not a HUGE fan, reblogging this will do a lot of people a lot of good

I have heard rumours that in his video for China Girl, Bowie slept with an underage actress by consent of her parents. Since this post came across my dash I decided to look that up on Wikipedia and found this out:

Along with his previous single’s video for “Let’s Dance” with the critique of racism in Australia, Bowie described the video as a “very simple, very direct” statement against racism. The video consciously parodies Asian female stereotypes. It depicted as
a hypermasculine protagonist in an interracial romance.

The actress, Geeling Ng (now Geeling Ching) was 23 years old at the time.

David Bowie was a good dude.

literally the only reason anyone was hating him in the first place was because tumblr said it was cool to

i’m not even a huge fan, i just want hypothetical internet randos to quit running campaigns against folks for shits and giggs

There is actually a lot of us serving who feel this way, but aren’t allowed to speak on it while still in!

This last comment tells you everything you need to know, really

“ew i can’t believe people in their mid 30s are calling themselves ~q*eer elders~ ajdshgahdf” wow it’s almost like. something happened 25 to 35 years ago. that vastly reduced how many queer people there were. and our age demographics are still skewed low because of it. huh.

hey um. i don’t know how to tell you this but the deaths of so many gay/bi men and trans women (primarily) from AIDS are not an excuse to pretend that older lgbtq people don’t exist. they very much do.

for one thing, AIDS did not affect the whole community equally, so there are plenty of older lesbians, for example. and the fact that there should be more older gay men today doesn’t mean there aren’t a lot still around. many of them are now facing the new challenges of aging with HIV, and they need and deserve our attention and support. but instead many of us younger people would rather imagine that they’re all long dead and crown ourselves Oldest and Wisest so we can win arguments on the internet.

if you don’t know any actually old, or even middle-aged, lgbtq people, then maybe this all seems abstract to you. but a dear friend of mine is 79 years old. others are in their 50s and 60s. and i cannot begin to imagine telling them that really i’m an elder, that really all the knowledge and experience of their generations can be summed up by a bunch of 30-somethings, because after all hey, a lot of their friends are dead. and they might as well be too. this is not respect.

to be clear, i am not saying any of this in the service of any tumblr “discourse.” this is bigger than that. though i notice that this blog doesn’t mention HIV, and only mentions AIDS in the context of said discourse. even though HIV/AIDS is still a crisis both globally and in the U.S., with black men who have sex with men hit especially hard to this day.

if we’re going to invoke the suffering of the older generations of lgbtq people resulting from AIDS, we owe them, at the very least, two things. first, to respect them enough to acknowledge that they’re still here, and listen to them, not presume to speak for them. and second, to educate ourselves, stop talking about HIV and AIDS like they’re ancient history, and take up the fight, so that one day AIDS can be history.

OOC: I don’t have a special post or anything for this just yet–but LiNK changed their fundraising site recently so I had to remake the page. I’ll probably do an actual campaign soon like I did last year with a goal and everything but for now here is the page since my old link doesn’t work any more!
