“As The Meeting Was Drawing To A Weary Close, John, Not This Day With Yoko, Who Hadn’t Seemed Particularly

If you’re a Non-Muslim and you see a Muslim praying in public, could you please not pass in front of them?

Go behind them, but not in front. 👍

I made these in response to hate crimes in my community. They are full size and free to download and print if you’d like to use them, too.

Anyway shoutout to flamboyant or effeminate gay men, butch lesbians, scruffy lesbians, loud "obnoxious" queer musical theatre people, """uwu soft bean""" nonbinary people, people who use obscure labels, people who don't use labels at all, and people who use unusual pronouns. You're not cringe, you're not "fake queer", you're not a punchline to be laughed at, and you're not giving the LGBTQ+ community a bad name. Keep being your true authentic selves, we're all lucky you're here.

here is a petition to reopen Sandra Bland’s case

1966 Press Conference

Q: Why did you subject yourself to a public apology in front of television cameras?

JOHN: If I were at the stage I was five years, I would have shouted we’d never tour again, pack myself off, and that would be the end of it. Lord knows, I don’t need the money. But the record burning, that was a real shock, the physical burning. I couldn’t go away knowing that I’d created another little pocked of hate in the world. Especially with something as uncomplicated as people listening to records, dancing, and enjoying what the Beatles are. Not when I could do something about it. If I said tomorrow I’m not going to play again, I still couldn’t live with somebody hating for something so irrational.

Q: Why don’t you tell your fans all this?

JOHN: But that’s the trouble with being truthful. You try to apply truth talk, although you have to be false sometimes because this whole thing is false in a way, like a game. But you hope that if you’re truthful with somebody, they’ll stop all the plastic reaction and be truthful back and it’ll be worth it. But everybody is playing the game and sometimes I’m left naked and truthful with everybody biting me. It’s disappointing. I can’t express myself very well, that’s my whole trouble. I was just commenting, in my illiterate way of speaking.

December 8th, 1970: John adjudges his own accountability for the things he says or has said.

JOHN: We all say a lot of things that we don’t know what we’re talking about. I’m probably doing it now, I don’t know what I said. See, everybody takes you up on the words you said in 19— I’m just a guy who people ask what about things. I blab off, and some of it makes sense, some of it’s bullshit, some of it’s lies and some of it’s… God knows what I’m saying, you know? I felt it, you see. So when I felt it, it was like I was crucified. So I know what they’re talking about now.
