This film has been in the works for nearly a decade
America has had two real presidents and one bright orange moron in the oval office in the time its taken this movie to come out
And the final result is a film that has no connection to the Flash lore or characters, loosely adapting the worst Flash story but in a way that has no real connection to that either
The MCU introduced, developed and then wrote out an entire cast of characters across five films in the time it took this one movie to come out
This is how Hollywood, mostly Warner Bros., fucks up superhero movies.
Step one is to have some incompetent, meddling producers take the film away from a filmmaker that understand and care about the characters and story. The step two is to give the film to some hollywood heads who just see it as a job and honestly do not care what they make as long as it makes money.
On this day, 24 May 2014, the campaigner known as the “Rosa Parks of the gay community”, Stormé DeLarverie, died aged 93 in Brooklyn. Born to an African-American mother and a white father, she is credited by some as sparking the Stonewall rebellion, as according to some eyewitnesses and her own account she was the “New York butch” who was arrested and attacked by police. Bleeding from a head wound, she began to fight back and called to the crowd “Why don’t you guys do something?” When she was thrown into a police van the crowd erupted and the Stonewall rebellion began.
Some dispute that this individual was DeLarverie, and point out that a Marilyn Fowler was the only woman recorded as being arrested by police on the first night of the riots.
The exact truth of that night will never be known, but Stonewall aside, DeLarverie played a leading role in the LGBT+ community in New York’s Village area. As well as working as an MC, bouncer and bodyguard, she carried a gun and patrolled the streets, protecting other lesbians from street harassment or assault, and also raised money for survivors of domestic violence.
In our podcast episodes 25-26, participants tell the story of the Stonewall rebellion: https://workingclasshistory.com/2019/05/13/e21-22-the-stonewall-riots-and-pride-at-50/https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=631982785641607&set=a.602588028581083&type=3
No-fault divorce is actually very recent. That is, a divorce just because you wanted to get divorced and not because they were guilty of some provable transgression. California’s no-fault divorce law was 1966; the latest US state, it was 2010. When I was in Catholic school, we were taught to believe in and promote anti-no-fault-divorce positions. This is very recent history, and you cannot take even this for granted. Stop being “edgy” about feminism and its flaws. Every movement will have some flaws. But do you not think that this, and the risk it represents, is significant to women as a class of all backgrounds?
Hey fun fact the reason the murder rate went down when no fault divorce was introduced was because beforehand when women were being abused they would just kill their husbands. do not come at this post with the “well abused people can still get out” like good fucking luck ask any actual abuse victem how the courts been to them ill wait
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
