I AM MIGHT I AM POWER I AM EVERYTHING

YOU STAND BEFORE TAKEHAYA SUSANO'O

Twin beds for married couples are a familiar sight from midcentury movies, but have become so uncommon that they frequently strike the contemporary viewer as artificial, perhaps a fiction invented by the Hays code.

I, at least, was astonished to discover that they are widespread, even ubiquitous, in the American magazines of the 1920s - chiefly from advertisements like the ones above, but frequently referenced in the articles and popular fiction of the period as well.

Delving through marriage guidance and medical advice books, furniture catalogues and novels, Lancaster University professor Hilary Hinds found that twin beds were initially adopted in the late 19th century as a health precaution. In her new book, A Cultural History of Twin Beds, Hinds details how doctors warned of the dire consequences of bed-sharing. In 1861, doctor, minister and health campaigner William Whitty Hall’s book Sleep: Or the Hygiene of the Night, advised that each sleeper “should have a single bed in a large, clean, light room, so as to pass all the hours of sleep in a pure fresh air, and that those who fail in this, will in the end fail in health and strength of limb and brain, and will die while yet their days are not all told”. Rolled over: why did married couples stop sleeping in twin beds? by Alison Flood, Fri 16 Aug 2019 | Books | The Guardian

In the Victorian era, "medical" "science" pushed the idea that sharing beds was unhealthy, and the twin bed was still seen as the fashionable, modern choice for the middle classes right through the 1930s.

The BBFC Create the Card Competition is OFFICIALLY OPEN! ✨🫧

We’re calling on young artists aged 4 to 11 to design the official BBFC Black Card for WICKED: FOR GOOD, with the winning artwork shown ahead of every cinema screening of the film in the UK! 💚🩷

Finally caught the new Superman in the cinema before it's off/the cinema closes and thought this was a cute touch at the beginning.

Turns out the BBFC run competitions like this quite often and it was created by a 14 year old called Elsie 💗(Who then met the main cast and director when she won the comp 🫠 I'd have lost my shit across the board 😂)

hey hey hey Disney... psst Disney... 18+? 18 fucking plus?!? Age-gating what is the queer realisation film for so very many when it is classified as a 12A in this country?

Too popular not to exploit, yet too gleefully awkwardly queer for your homophobic fascistic corporate bullshit?

Yeah... Thought so.

Fuck you.
