Happy Birthday Gladys Bentley!

Studio portrait of Gladys Bentley, a Black woman, wearing a white tuxedo and top hat, and holding a cane.

Happy birthday Gladys Bentley!

Gladys Bentley was born on 12 August 1907 in Philadelphia. She became famous in New York’s Harlem in the 1920s and 1930s for her energetic piano playing, her bawdy lyrics, and her masculine dress - her trademark performing outfit was a white tuxedo. She was publicly known to be interested in women, and might even have participated in one of 1930s Harlem’s female-female weddings.

To anyone considering not voting because of the Palestinian genocide, I have this to ask:

How many Palestinian people do you think you're helping by laying back and inviting the GOP to crush you under foot? Self flagellation didn't cure The Plague, and it won't fix this situation either.

If you don't like the idea of voting for Harris, I doubt I'll be able to change your mind, but consider this: 468 congressional seats out of a total 535 are up for re-election THIS NOVEMBER. You want to make the government start actually representing the will of the people? Start there.

We're living in frightening times, and apathy is a very comfortable state of being, but you need to act. If you don't, who will?
