Alabama Shakes has Brittany Howard in it and she’s queer (though i guess its classified as southern rock and not country)
(he has two versions of that song btw. He orginally recorded it with female pronouns and later released it with male pronouns after he came out) I’m pretty sure Herdon is the person who started the annual concert for love and acceptance.
Shane McNally also deserves to be on this list. He isn’t a singer but he is a song writer.
Kacey Musgraves (I think McNally wrote or cowrote this one?)
Ma Rainey was the first Vaudeville entertainer to incorporate the blues into her performances, which led to her to – perhaps justifiably – become known as the “Mother of the Blues.” Although she was married, Rainey was known to take women as lovers, and her song “Prove It on Me Blues” directly references her preference for male attire and female companionship. Rainey often found herself in trouble with the police for her lesbian behavior, including an incident in 1925 when she was arrested for taking part in an orgy at home involving women in her chorus. Bessie Smith bailed her out of jail.
Day 2 - Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
Zora Neale Hurston was an American folklorist, anthropologist, and author during the Harlem Renaissance. During her lifetime, she published four novels and more than 50 short stories, plays and essays. She is perhaps best known for her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, published in 1937. Today, nearly every black woman writer of significance – including Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, and Alice Walker – acknowledges Hurston as a key influence. Although she was never public about her sexuality, the book Wrapped in Rainbows, the first biography of Zora Neale Hurston in more than 25 years, explores her deep friendships with luminaries such as Langston Hughes, her sexuality and short-lived marriages, and her mysterious relationship with vodou.
Day 3 - Bessie Smith (1894-1937)
Widely referred to as The Empress of the Blues, Bessie Smith is considered one of the most popular female blues singers of the 1920s and 1930s and is credited, along with Louis Armstrong, as a major influence on jazz vocalists to this day. Bessie Smith began her professional career in 1912 by singing with Ma Rainey and subsequently performed in various touring minstrel shows and cabarets. As a solo artist, Smith was an integral part of Columbia’s Race Records, and her albums each sold 20,000 copies or more. Although married to a man named Jack Gee, Smith had an ongoing affair with a chorus girl named Lillian Simpson.
Day 4 - Mabel Hampton (1902–1989)
Mabel Hampton was a dancer during the Harlem Renaissance and later became an LGBT historian, philanthropist and activist. She met her partner, Lillian Foster, in 1932 and the two stayed together until Foster’s death in 1978. Hampton marched in the first National Gay and Lesbian March on Washington, and she appeared in the films Silent Pioneers and Before Stonewall. In 1984, Hampton spoke at New York City’s Lesbian and Gay Pride Parade. Hampton’s collection of memorabilia, ephemera, letters and other records documenting her history are housed at the Lesbian Herstory Archives and provide a window into the lives of black women and lesbians during the Harlem Renaissance.
Day 5 - Josephine Baker (1906–1975)
Josephine Baker was the 20th century’s “first black sex symbol.” An American dancer, singer and actress, Baker renounced her American citizenship in 1937 to become French. Despite the fact she was based in Europe, she participated in the American Civil Rights Movement in her own way. She adopted adopting 12 multi-ethnic orphans (long before Angelina Jolie) whom she called the “Rainbow Tribe,” she refused to perform for segregated audiences (which helped to force the integration of performance venues in the United States) and she was the only woman invited to speak at the March on Washington with Martin Luther King, Jr. Although she was married four times, her biographers have since confirmed her multiple affairs with women, including Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
Day 6 - Gladys Bentley (1907-1960)
Gladys Bentley was an imposing figure. She was a 250-pound, masculine, dark-skinned, deep-voiced jazz singer who performed all night long at Harlem’s notorious gay speakeasies during the Harlem Renaissance while wearing a white tuxedo and top hat. Bentley was notorious for inventing obscene lyrics to popular songs, performing with a chorus line of drag queens behind her piano, and flirting with women in her audience from the stage. Unlike many in her day, she lived her life openly as a lesbian and claimed to have married a white woman in Atlantic City. An article in Ebony magazine quoted her as saying, “It seems I was born different. At least, I always thought so …. From the time I can remember anything, even as I was toddling, I never wanted a man to touch me.”
Day 7 - Lorraine Hansberry (1930–1965)
Lorraine Hansberry was an African-American playwright and author. Her best known work, A Raisin in the Sun, was inspired by her family’s own battle against racial bias in Chicago. Hansberry explored controversial themes in her writings in addition to racism in America, including abortion, discrimination, and the politics of Africa. In 1957 she joined the lesbian organization Daughters of Bilitis and contributed letters to their magazine, The Ladder, that addressed feminism and homophobia. While she addressed her lesbian identity in the articles she wrote for the magazine, she wrote under the initials L.H. for fear of being discovered as a black lesbian.
Day 8 - Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
In her own words, Audre Lorde was a “black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet.” Lorde began writing poetry at age 12 and published her first poem in Seventeen magazine at age 15. She helped found Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press, the world’s first publisher run by women of color, in 1980. Her poetry was published regularly throughout her life and she served as the State Poet of New York from 1991 to 1992. Lorde explored issues of class, race, age, gender and – after a series of cancer diagnoses — health, as being fundamental to the female experience. She died of liver cancer in 1992.
Day 9 - Barbara Jordan (1936–1996)
Representative Barbara Jordan (D-Texas) was the first African-American woman elected to Congress from a southern state. In 1976, she delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention, marking the first time an African-American woman had ever done so. Her speech has since been ranked as one of the top 100 American Speeches of the 20th century and is considered by some historians to be among the best convention keynote speeches in modern history. Although Jordan never publicly acknowledged her sexual orientation, her Houston Chronicle obituary mentioned her longtime companion of more than 20 years, Nancy Earl. Her legacy inspired the Jordan Rustin Coalition, a Los Angeles-based organization dedicated to the empowerment of Black LGBT people and families.
Day 10 - June Jordan (1936-2002)
June Jordan was one of the most widely-published and highly-acclaimed African-American writers of her generation. A poet, playwright, speaker, teacher, journalist and essayist Jordan was also known for her fierce commitment to human rights political activism. Jordan said of her bisexuality, “bisexuality means I am free and I am as likely to want to love a woman as I am likely to want to love a man, and what about that? Isn’t that what freedom implies?” Her influential voice defined the cutting edge of both American poetry and politics during the Civil Rights Movement. She published 27 before her death from breast cancer in 2002 at the age of 65. Three more of her books have been published posthumously.
I’m really still out here blocking blogs for posting ace content in the aro tags and I always make myself look, “cuz maybe it was just this one time and they’re actually giving out good positivity and content that is aro related,” and I am continuously disappointed.
This is like half healthy and half self destructive cuz I need the aro community to be just that, aro. But I’m isolating myself from aro aces who may not even realize what they’re doing. But I also do not care anymore. I won’t ask for change or whatever. The ace community does not care, my dudes. That’s why there’s never a response. They do not care if what they’re doing is hurting us. Or at least a few of us aros. Idk how many aros are even discussing it.
I’m gonna keep blocking. I have to. I need an aro community that’s not constantly bound to asexuality. If that ends up being super solitary, it’d be unironically fitting lol
I think you need to examine your attitude, here. Particularly this: “I need the aro community to be just that, aro. But I’m isolating myself from aro aces who may not even realize what they’re doing.” and “I need an aro community that’s not constantlybound to asexuality.”
The aromantic community cannot be “just that, aro.” Aromantic people have their own individual complex identities that intersect with their aromanticism. There is no “just being aromantic,” and for aromantic asexual people there is an overlap in those experiences.
For many aromantic asexual people, myself included, these experiences are inextricable. Aromantic asexual people are not doing anything wrong by refusing to separate their aromanticism from their asexuality and their asexuality from their aromanticism.
The attitude perpetuated by the aromantic community that asexuality is an “other” invader in their community erases aromantic asexual experiences, it erases the contributions of aromantic asexual people to the aromantic community, and treats non-asexual experiences as default.
When people discuss their sexuality and aromanticism in the same post, is that not binding aromanticism with non-aromantic identities? Can you call that “just that, aro.” then? There is no such thing as “just aromantic” or “just asexual” and I’ve had to have this talk with both communities for a long time.
Aromantic asexual people are stigmatized and alienated on two fronts within their own communities. In the asexual community, we’re stigmatized and alienated for being aromantic. In the aromantic community, we’re stigmatized and alienated for being asexual. For being both in both spaces.
Both spaces that seem not to comprehend that non-asexual experiences in aromantic spaces and non-aromantic experiences in asexual spaces are being pushed as the norm, the default, whenever we’re told that asexuality and aromanticism are separate.
If you want a functioning community that embraces a wide variety of experiences within that community, you cannot stigmatize and alienate a group of people who belong to that community who may be different from you. You cannot claim we do not care, while disregarding our experiences like that. You don’t care.
Instead of expecting aromantic asexual people to bear the burden of policing their own discussions to your comfort level, focus your energies on creating content for the community that you wish to see. Additionally, there are better ways of communicating tagging issues without throwing us under the bus.
For many of us, our aromanticism and asexuality is bound. Advocating for a community that is unattached to the asexual community in any way pushes aromantic asexual people out of spaces they in large part themselves created and contributed to. That is not fair and that is not okay.
Hi!@actuallyaro, I beg you to please spend some time in the #alloaro tag to get to know what we’re thinking and feeling before speaking further on this issue, because I do not feel that you understand allo-aros. And you need to if you’re going to make commentary like this.
Most of the allo-aro community isn’t asking for the removal of aro-ace content from the aromantic tag. We are just asking for recognition of the truth that aromanticism and asexuality are not always the same thing and the constant shoving of aromantics under the asexual umbrella is alienating, diminishing and dangerous for a significant part of the aromantic community. This means not posting asexual-only content in aromantic tags; and it also means that folks stop treating aro-ace content as “generally aromantic” by only tagging it as #aromantic. (And the latter is so easily solved by just tagging #aroace alongside #aromantic so we can blacklist the tags we’re not interested in!)
We’re just asking for recognition that your experiences are different from ours instead of the current assumption that all aromantics should be able to find asexual content relatable, which is what’s happening when our tags are so dominated this way.
I’m also finding difficult your interpretation of the aro-spec community. Aromantic and a-spec communities are heavily predicated on the assumption that everyone is asexual and aro-ace content is relevant to all aromantics. (Isn’t that why there’s so much asexual-only content in our #aromantic tag and it isn’t seen as a problem?) Allo-aros are far fewer in number than aro-aces. We have far fewer prominent allo-aro bloggers and community blogs; even less representation by independent creators; and virtually no recognition of our existence and our needs other than a well, not all aros are asexual attitude in a-spec spaces. We’re continually mislabeled as “asexual” or “part of the asexual community” in more mainstream content, if we’re acknowledged at all. The very shape of the ways we are erased and ignored are not recognised by most people in our shared aromantic and a-spec communities. The lack of narrative that acknowledges and celebrates aromantic spectrum and allosexual identities together is enough that I started the Hallo, Aroproject,amidst my other allo-aro stories, to make sure this representation, authored by an allo-aro, exists.
Both spaces that seem not to comprehend that non-asexual experiences in aromantic spaces and non-aromantic experiences in asexual spaces are being pushed as the norm, the default, whenever we’re told that asexuality and aromanticism are separate.
You may be describing the asexual community there; you’re not describing the aromantic community. Aro-ace is often the unquestioned default, to the point that aro-aces do not know how to make spaces inclusive of allo-aros and have to ask us how to do it.If aro-ace weren’t the default interpretation of aromantic, that question wouldn’t have been asked and I wouldn’t have had to answer it the way I did.
I’ve said so many times that the entry requirement to general aromantic community participation is the complete pushing aside of my allosexual attractions, experiences and identities. In a culture formed from the asexual community, there is a real pressure to avoid talking about sex, sexual attraction and sexual relationships, especially allosexual ones, as shaped by aromanticism. (Have you seen these conversations commonly in aromantic spaces?) We don’t like this separation any more than you–we have this in common! We absolutely have this in common! But, just like no allo-aro should talk about their sexual attraction alone in the #aromantic tag, no aro-ace should talk about their asexuality alone in the #aromantic tag.
If talking about asexuality alone under #aromantic seems fair to you but pansexuality alone under #aromantic doesn’t, that speaks volumes about the centering of asexual identity in aromantic spaces.
That’s all this is. We’re not asking for your erasure; we’re asking for our equity. How do you think ace-spec aro-specs will respond if allo-aros start making posts just and solely about our sexual attraction in the #aromantic tag? Should we try it as an experiment to see what happens? Should we see how long it takes for folks to offer up furious responses about the misuse of the #aromantic tag?
I also want to add that I’m quite distressed by your requirement that we, in response to our erasure, just go and make more content that represents us.
I suspect an allo-ace may have said that once or twice when you’re talking, justifiably, about the lack of both aro-ace rep and rep that’s allowed to remain allo-ace instead of being rebranded in the adaptation as allo-ace. How did that feel? Were you happy about that dismissal of your pain of being silenced and erased with a just go and create more content response, no changes made by the people hurting you? You’re being erased and diminished by the way allo-ace is centred in the asexual community, but they do nothing about it other than tell you to make more content. Is that supportive? Of course not! Yet that’s what you’ve done here, and it really hurts to see it.
It is honestly terrifying to have any conversation about our erasure and pain carry the risk that we’re going to be accused of dividing the community or causing harm to our own. All it sends is a constant message that the aro-spec and a-spec communities are not allowed to evolve and change; that “peace” and “connection” and even “aromanticism” are predicated on allo-aro and non-asexual-aro silence.
All we want is our own damn tag not containing content that doesn’t reference aromanticism. That’s not so very much to ask, is it?
Hi!I appreciate this response, actually, because it does clear up some sources of confusion and miscommunication.
Believe it or not, it isn’t clear to me in these posts that people are only asking for the removal of asexual-only content from the tags. It does not say that. From my own personal experience over years in both spaces, I’m quite used to being told to keep content from either “side”out of either community. So, I doneed context for that to fully understand what it is that people are trying to communicate.
I do think that cross-tagging is a big problem. I am not arguing that it isn’t. I do think that people should have spaces to prioritize allosexual aromanticism as much as asexual aromanticism. My one and only concern is that aromantic asexual people do not receive the brunt of anyone’s frustrations over these intercommunity issues especially re: tagging.
I am aware that aromantic asexual people have contributed a lot to aromantic and asexual spaces. I’ve talked about that at length, especially when people try to disregard those contributions in favor of presenting asexual and aromantic communities as separate entities with no shared history. I appreciate, though, your comment on equity in that history.
I do not think anyone should have to push aside any part of their identity to be a part of aromantic spaces, which is why I had an issue with the “just that, aro” comment to begin with. There is no separation between one’s aromanticism and other aspects of their identity for many people, so demanding that of anyone is not right. We’ve been asked to do that before, too.
There is absolutely a space for allosexual aromantics to be a part of that history, but the way we approach these spaces may erase those contributions. It is not my intention to say that people cannot be angry over this, or to “just go make your own stuff” – only that, antagonism towards aromantic asexuals and their contributions doesn’t resolve that issue.
The OP’s commentary did not clearly outline, to me, that this is what they were talking about. Given that I have experienced all of the above issues to varying degrees over years, it is easy for me to misinterpret the above as a reflection of all of that. It’s not a misconception, in this regard. These are real issues we’ve also had to deal with. It is miscommunication and misinterpretation.
Again, I know now that’s not what you’re trying to do – to be antagonistic towards aromantic asexuals. That’s basically why I responded the way I did, but with clarification that does not involve insulting my person or referring to me in a hateful manner, I understand the context better. I still think it’s important that people are careful in how they word their frustrations, myself included.
I’ll leave this up so that people can click through the links.
it’s anointed with blood on its extremities to make it fit for service (shemot 29:12); the kohanim are anointed with blood on their extremities to make them fit for service (ibid, v.20)
it’s clothed in scarlet and purple and blue (26:1) and so are they (28:6).
it has regular bloodflow, it consumes grain and meat and wine and oil, it has recognised agents who may enter and serve and it has foreign pathogens which are destroyed.
it has an element of the divine which inhabits and sanctifies it.
the mishkan is a body.
something is stored in the mishkan, which needs to be atoned for on a yearly basis (30:10).
i don’t think it’s moral-ethical, cheshbon hanefesh-y, elul, type of atonement. the altar can’t sin! it’s made of metal and wood. and we have established other ways to atone for things.
we need an intertext to figure this one out, and it’s found in the gemara in zevachim 88b: the ketonet atones for shfichat damim, the michnasayim for gilui arayot, the mitznefet for arrogance, the avneit for hirhurim. the choshen mishpat for mistaken judgment, the efod for avoda zara, the me’il for lashon hara, and the tzitz for azut fanim.
again how can that be? the kohanim, if they had engaged in shfichat damim, would as far as i know be psulim to serve… and surely few of them were committing gilui arayot or avoda zara. why are these clothes on these people’s bodies doing this work?
i think what it means is, things we think we have worked through, or repress and are never aware of their impact on us in the first place - these things get stored in the body. they bubble up in ways and places we didn’t expect, disconnected from the scene of the crime.
“the body keeps the score.”
this is what it means that the bigdei kehuna are doing this purgatory work - our sins bubbling up through into the persons of the kohanim, their bodies. and this is what it means that the altar needs atonement.
all our sins - and remember, the mishkan, its gold and blue crimson purple, is from the money of the whole jewish people! - we think we work through them, and we do!, but they are stored like sex hormones in fat, like winter in the growth rings of trees, in the centre of us - the sins are stored in the mishkan.
this week i had to give a d’var torah at short notice and had these three elements (bigdei kehuna, atoning for the altar, the mizbeach is a body) rattling around and remembered the title of the book “the body keeps the score”, which i have never read.
i think it all came together nicely when i spoke and am posting it here to have, for critique, and so i can go back and source more stuff.
I recently started playing with DALL-E 2, which will attempt to generate an image to go with whatever text prompt you give it. Like its predecessor DALL-E, it uses CLIP, which OpenAI trained on a huge collection of internet images and nearby text. I’ve experimented with a few methods based on CLIP, but DALL-E generates particularly clear, coherent images.
So of course I decided to use it to mess up corporate logos.

- Makes little PB and Js with matzah during Passover
- Can, has, and will decorate the sukkah with too many twinkly lights and possibly confetti
- Headcanons Azura as jewish and will fight you if you disagree
- Wears a yarmulke to synagogue because screw gender roles
- Wears Hanukkah sweaters because “Why should Christmas get all the sweaters?”
- Feel free to add!
Fun fact, by the way: Azura is a name that exists in Hebrew. In The Book of Jubilees, Azura is the name given to the wife of Shet/Seth, third son of Adam and Eve and ancestor of all humankind. Adam is also seen in Kabbalistic Judaism as being the mortal aspect of Adam Kadmon, a primordial being divided into portions whose life force is said to pervade all of creation.
And of course, I bet it drives Belos up a wall that this great opponent of his who has come to liberate the people of the Underworld is a young, neurodivergent, and highly androgynous Jewish person raised by a single mother who wields a staff to perform magic and fraternises with those cast out by society while releasing criminals sentenced to death from their bondage and inspiring the people around them to become better and wiser and more gentle.
Also, there’s this:
Luz no ceda=Light (that) does not yield
Ein Sof Ur=Unending Light
And also the term most commonly used to refer to false/foreign gods in the Hebrew Bible is Ba’al, transliterated into Greek as Belos. Philip is also a Greek name, Phillip II of Makedon being the man whose son Alexander III the Great created the circumstances in which rose the Seleucid Empire that produced Antiochus IV Epiphanes.
Belos forces up a statue of himself in Bonesborough, and Antiochus IV Epiphanes set up a statue of himself in the Temple of Jerusalem.
Funny to think about how Pride started as a riot and Hanukkah started to commemorate a rebellion.
their harassment of poltergeist-the-anti lead to them having to forcibly out themselves and they have ‘mogai sexuality’ a purely reactionary term, on their dni
they also claim that it’s homophobic to ask if someone’s blog is safe for ace people
but like more importantly they are targeting someone for correcting misinformation
so I try not to have this kind of stuff here but literally everyone who has even liked the post correcting lgbt-stims for misinformation has received anon hate, suicide baiting, and often worse
please be careful and block without interacting
To add to this, Mod Jen (formerly Mod Sal) has made numerous posts with gifs from @/clearslime. He has also put female My Little Pony characters in front of the she/her gay flag.
@/clearslime, for those who don’t know or are unaware, is extremely violent and aphobic. When an anon told him about it, Mod Jen responded with “that’s a dead stim blog”.
