Guinea pigs: YOU CLEANED MY CAGE AND IN RETURN I WILL SING YOU THE SONG OF MY PEOPLE.
Guinea pigs: WOAH, IS THAT THE FOOD BAG I HEAR? I SHALL SING YOU THE SONG OF MY PEOPLE.
Guinea pigs: YOU'RE REFILLING MY WATER BOTTLE? I WILL SING THE SONG OF MY PEOPLE.
Guinea pigs: DID I HEAR YOU MOVE IN BED? YOU MUST BE AWAKE AND I SHALL SING YOU THE SONG OF MY PEOPLE.

This post was asking about a potential link between the afro-style wigs and big, painted lips of the modern clown and racist caricatures, so I decided to do what any good theatre history student would do - I did some research.

I'm seeing more people with "tigan" in their URL.
big-gadje-world:
I’m assuming that they’re Google translating words for “Gypsy” because the URL they wanted was taken. If you are not Rromani or you’re not Rromani from certain parts Continental Europe, then don’t use that word.Don’t use ANY variation of that word. IT’S WORSE THAN “GYPSY” YOU FUCK WITS.
MOST RROMANI WON’T FUCKING TOUCH THAT WORD WITH A 10 FOOT POLE, IT’S THAT OFFENSIVE.

clatterbane:
When I recently read the phrase, “I’m embarrassed to be sick,” it made my stomach clench and my breath catch. That’s exactly what I’ve been feeling: this vague sense of social unease even with close friends, a reluctance to be seen or even talk to people–especially those that knew me before I became chronically ill.
At the age of 55, after a lifetime of seemingly...

mythbusters covered this when they tried to fake the moon landing. the theory was that the flag shouldn’t have flapped while it was being planted bc no wind. they put a flag in a vacuum chamber and it moved //more// in vacuum, bc there was no air pressure to hold it in place. so every...

Why do you dress like that?
baroquewinter:
People really hate the answer, “Because I like it.” So I am done giving it. The next time I get asked this by someone who clearly sees me wearing it every day I am going to tell them that this is the outfit I fight crime in, turn dramatically, look off into the distance, narrow my eyes and say, “My people need me,” before running off.

As many of you know, our friend Rosa Sparks is having a real shit time of it lately. The most recent in a long string of personal upheavals is that the house where she and her daughter live was just robbed, and many of their personal belongings were taken. Rosa is about to start her dream job, and the organization is giving her the opportunity to work from home so she can be flexible...
