Please help save BHOF, Jennie's legacy...
With the BHOF weekender (the source of most of the museum's revenue) cancelled again due to covid, and a recent fire in the building, the Burlesque Hall Of Fame needs our support more than ever.

Jennie Lee (1928-90) was an American stripper, burlesque star, & pin up model. In 1955, Jenni helped found a union for dancers, The Exotic Dancers' League of North America, & was the club's first president. She fought for better wages & working conditions for dancers all her life
@jowrotethis My favourite clapbacks have been of the “Tom Holland could be Timmy, but Timmy couldn’t be Tom Holland” variety. His mum and his sister are both ballet dancers. He’s a misogynistic little twat.
Long shot. But I left my Newcastle scarf at the Leeds game which I’ve had for absolutely donkeys so I’m canny annoyed at myself. Not expecting it to turn up but does anyone have an adidas NUFC scarf for sale? Can’t find one online anywhere. Mine looked like this 👇🏼
@cezthesocialist@TristanGinger Exactly, and they have a nasty habit of telling US not to speak. Signed - a bisexual who will never stop speaking up for trans folks.
@AngryPatriotic@prayeddanny@mushycrouton Describing it as playing along IS prejudicial, because you’re choosing not to educate yourself on the reality of transness. You’re either ignorant, or willfully ignorant. You don’t get to claim the high ground here.
@hayrr You too! I���ve stayed off the app for ages because the new algorithm gives me all transphobia all the time, but then I found the “following” tab and it’s nice to see folks again. What a fucking cesspool this turned into though, yeesh. Also fuck Musk.
It is impossible to speak to TERFs because they deny that trans women are anything other than “men in dresses”, which besides being hateful is plain incorrect. The truth about transness is so readily available, but they aren’t interested. You can’t reason with wilfully ignorant.
