"Courts required that erotic literature be read aloud in courtrooms and transcribed into judicial files, even as the original books were destroyed. A 1961 Supreme Court ruling determined that self-portrait photographs taken by two men with a camera’s self-timer and kept under lock and key were equivalent to having a scandalized witness in the room: the image itself prolonged the transgression. In 1962, a Madrid judge physically climbed onto a table to peer through a crack in a boarding-house wall to verify what sexual acts might be visible to an informant. While the state imposed invisibility on queer subjects, it simultaneously invested public resources in observing, recording, and filing their most intimate moments." Fernández Galeano writes about his book for Notches

In that process, Angel Ortiz was framed as hired labor instead of a collaborator, even though his work remains visible on paintings, sculptures, and objects shown in major institutions today. Angel has said openly that race played a role in his erasure, and photographer Clayton Patterson has explained how institutions chose a simpler version of the story that centered one white artist and removed a Puerto Rican collaborator. Angel Ortiz is still working as an artist today, and the time has come for the art world to give him clear credit for the work he helped create…yuliaxgon

Remember when all mlm stories were borderine assault stories in the early 90s-2000s? and how long it took for other queer stories to be made? we all used our voices to make a change, it didn't magically stop we fought for it to not be the only type of story.

(If this sounds like I am making a pitch that we should write porn to defeat fascism, that's…not entirely a mischaracterization. I mean, of course it won't defeat fascism, but I do feel that while we work to defeat fascism, we should at least have diverse and satisfying porn.)

now you gotta pay like $35 for a bus to new york and it STILL will probably break down and leave you stranded at an ihop in connecticut :(

they died at age 62, which is tragically young but far beyond the life expectancy they were given at birth of only one year. they shared 30% of their brains and were the first known example of a pair of conjoined twins with different genders.
