Hello! I am Claude, and also go by Capy. I'm genderfluid and use any pronouns with a general emphasis on they/them. I don't remember to update ages on platforms, so I was born in 1991 and can trust us all to do that amount of math. This blog is primarily reblogs across all interests, with my own posts leaning towards the writing side of things. Long term goals include looking at my drawing tablet and picking it up, then that will be your problem 💜

I think those fancomics where Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes is transgender are cute and fun but I also think it's a deep misunderstanding of Calvin's character to think he would transition into a heterosexual normie who goes to her high school reunion. That girl would have neopronouns and fang implants
I know it's like 2 weeks too late to change it but I'm so mad I didn't realize that the band would obviously be called "Get Rid Of Slimy GirlS". I walk the road of shame

I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things
my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say
I'm a pacifist like institutionally but I'm absolutely certain that violence solves at least some problems on a much smaller level. I don't believe in wars or nuclear weapons or military campaigns I do believe in the power of that guy who punched the nazi in the face so hard his entire media presence immediately crumbled to dust
controversial opinion but unfortunately you are your actions and what you say. if you are mean to people, it doesn’t matter if you sometimes have secret kind thoughts. fortunately you are your actions and what you say. if you are kind in your actions and your words, it doesn’t matter if you sometimes have mean thoughts. the power is in working against inner negative thoughts and being a better person despite it. you have the ability to cultivate the person you want to be.
did you know that the 'beat girl' is a trans woman ? — all about brigitte bond 🏳️⚧️
most punks / rudies should be familiar with this character. she's the beat girl — the mascot for english ska band 'the beat' and a somewhat-counterpart to walt jabsco (the rude boy character who appears on many 2-tone records). much like walt, whose design was inspired by that of peter tosh, the beat girl also has a real-life inspiration — brigitte bond, a singer, dancer, actress and pioneering transgender woman.
i first learnt about this whilst reading a magazine — i forget which one, but brigitte instantly stuck with me, and she's become one of my favourite people to infodump about. before i get into this however, i will say there's a lot of unknown and inconsistent information, so keep that in mind ! i would also like to acknowledge the youtuber miss upsetter designs, as she has been monumental in the archiving and research of brigitte's story.
the story begins in 1979, with cartoonist hunt emerson attempting to design a logo for the beat. he turns to the latest copy of melody maker, and finds a 1964 photograph of prince buster — the king of ska — doing the twist with a young woman. she was 19 year old brigitte bond, a rude girl and fan of buster, who travelled to heathrow airport to greet him upon his arrival.

it was this image which emerson referenced when designing the beat girl — obviously. but what do we know about the girl herself ?
born in the mid-40s in either france or malta, there's not much known about brigitte's early life. what we do know is that by the early 60s, she ended up in london and got her start performing at the 2i's coffee bar — one of the most important venues in rock 'n' roll history. it was here where she was noticed by an agent and signed to blue beat records, and subsequently released the single 'blue beat baby'.
here's the song ! ⬇️
the first mention of brigitte being trans came in mid-1964. brigitte was due to marry a man known as sir john waller, who needed an heir in order for him to access a large inheritance. he proposed to brigitte in the hopes that they'd have a child together, but being trans, of course brigitte couldn't get pregnant ! this was written about in various articles.
my favourite anecdote about brigitte occurred on 18 june, 1966. billy graham, an evangelist and all-round rotten person, visited soho (which he called a "notoriously sinful area") to preach his conservative beliefs. it was here where brigitte crashed his appearance. furious over a comment he made about miniskirts being sinful, she proceeded to climb on top of his car and shout "billy, what do you think about my miniskirt?" true punk attitude ! there are numerous articles about it and even a video — take a look :
( you can see her climb onto the car at 2:58 ! )
being a singer, dancer and all-round legend weren't the only things brigitte dabbled in however — she was also a model (particularly for adult magazines) and an actress ! she began her acting career in 1967 under the name 'brigitte st. john', and starred in films such as 'herostratus' and 'la muchacha del nilo'.
to conclude, i absolutely adore the bones of brigitte. her enduring pride and self assurance — all the way back as far as the 50s — goes to show that trans people have always existed, and will continue to do so for as long as this earth keeps spinning ! as mentioned before, miss upsetter designs cannot be praised highly enough for the amazing job she's done at archiving information about this amazing woman. below i will link both a timeline and documentary — both created by miss upsetter designs. if you're interested in learning even more about brigitte, PLEASE go show miss upsetter designs some love !
Hello! If you are reading this post, chances are you saw my documentary, "Blue Beat Baby: The Untold Story of Brigitte". First off, thank yo

if you keep stepping on somebody's toes for a long time at minimum they're probably going to start really hating you and at maximum you might cause them lasting damage.
if you do it on purpose you're a dick. if it's on accident but you keep doing it that person is still going to be mad at you because you don't care enough to try not to step on their toes
if you give a grovelling begging apology after accidentally stepping on somebody's toes one time you're going to make the whole thing awkward, but not giving a quick "sorry" before moving on is still kind of rude.
