FROM THE TOWER WINDOW

And now within the old gray tower We've climbed the winding stair, And look out over all the earth From the topmost window there. Far stretches all the world away, And naught shuts out the sky, And knights and maids and all of life Go marching, marching by. -Excerpt from My Bookhouse From The Tower Window A remade Junk Journal from an old discarded book destined for the bin.

When Drag Queens Were King

With the conflicts about LGBTQIA+, it is fascinating to look back at the history of gays in American history. Once, not only accepted but widely celebrated, drag was a prominent face in the entertainment industry.

During the Shakespearean period, in the late 16th century and early 17th century, women were not permitted to perform on the stage. Men played the female roles. While this wasn’t exactly “drag”, it’s possible gay men took advantage of the opportunity to express their feminine sides.

Originally, drag was not only applied to men performing while dressed as women but, any performer dressed in costumes other than their own gender. In fact, the first recorded drag contest and “ball” in America took place in 1867! Men and women performed in Harlem, New York. There were drag queens and drag kings. Notable during the 1880’s and 1890’s was William Dorsey Swann. Known as the Queen of Drag, Dorsey was more than just a drag queen. An African American, born into slavery, was known for holding secret drag balls. The “Queen of Drag”, Swann, is believed to be the first person in the United States to lead a gay resistance. He held secret drag balls in Washington, DC. One part of the drag balls included a competition known as a “cakewalk”, originally held on plantations by slaves. Couples would dance in precise steps and formation. It is believed to have been a way to subtly make fun of the formal white dances pre and post emancipation. As dance contests, the winners were awarded with cakes!

The Jazz Age (from 1920 - early 1930’s) in large cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco saw the popularity of drag performers rise. Minstrel shows, vaudeville, and burlesque provided drag entertainment. Unlike many drag performers, Jean (Gene) Malin was not trying to impersonate a woman. During Prohibition, the days of the “pansy craze”, Malin was openly gay and proud of it. Described as flamboyant and effeminate, he entertained audiences with a wonderful sense of humor. At six feet tall and two hundred pounds, Malin had a lisp that delighted his fans. He was capable of defending himself when needed. He performed in high end nightclubs and was featured in films and on Broadway.

In 1920 Drag Balls and contests were so popular they were even represented in film. Men were referred to as “pansies” or “sissies” and were often portrayed as clothing designers or tailors, hairdressers, or choreographers and dancers. Flamboyant and effeminate, they added humor to films. Women were portrayed as more masculine and dressed in male fashions.

There were actors and actresses who were known to be homosexual, if not to the general public, usually within their professional circles. In 1930’s, Marlene Dietrich, who made no secret of her bisexuality, had the first passionate same sex kiss in a film. However, that wasn’t the first same sex kiss in film. In 1922, Cecil B. DeMille directed a silent movie l, “Manslaughter”, that included an orgy. Although the first same sex kiss has been attributed to the later film, “Wings” in 1927, it was the earlier silent movie that broke the mold.

Drag has once again become popular in America with shows like RuPaul’s Drag Race. On the other hand, the country is in turmoil. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual+ (LGBTQIA+) community is already beginning to feel the change in the air, from the White House to every house, apartment, mobile home, hotel, or tent. The president has already signed several executive orders that will negatively impact LGBTQIA+ communities across the country. We can’t allow America to return to days of the Hays Code. We’ve too far to allow it to slip away.

Relevance and resilience of greening cities in Global South

Looking for food spaces in cities The contribution of food growers to lightning and greening cities is widely undervalued and disrespected.

Hello hello just a lil bit today.

Msotly kitchen stuff for today,

Fresh garlic and onion i chopped up and froze for quick use. I want to set up some dehydration trays as well with the next bag of garlic I get.

I made Chile bread for supper, used some of the servings of Chile sauce i froze up.

I laughed and bit while watching them and the tombstones dissapeared. The molds i got for a Halloween party for fancy ice cubes in the drinks (the molds were on sale and I enjoy spooky themes.) I had originally intended to turn them to soap molds but I like them being for food now.

And of course. I don't use a lot of tomato paste at a time

So I froze the rest into cubes. I'll probably use them for soup or rice dishes.

As well i got a bunch of chicken necks from the grocer i got the beef fat from. I set it up in the crock to make stock last night and I plan to use the stock broth in chicken rice tonight and soup this week.

And a note of excitement, 3 of the gals have begun laying now :)

That's it for now:)
