A lot of the gay elders i know are tired of history being changed when they were actually there. Unfortunately the biggest myth is that [Marsha P. Johnson] started the stonewall riot and kicked off the lgbt movement.
But in fact she wasn’t even there when it started. She also referred to herself as a drag queen/transvestite… not trangender. Sylvia Rivera is the one who is trans not mpj.
If anything it was likely a big butch lesbian who started it.
There wasnt even a brick that started the riots. A lot was happening at once, but it most like started when cops began harassing Butch Lesbian Stormè DeLarverie and someone, no one is sure who, stepped in to her defense. Violence broke out and next thing we know, we have the stonewall riots. Maybe bricks were thrown with Molotovs, but no one can be credited with doing anything first except maybe DeLarverie asking for help.
I tend to check social media much less than the average person, so this might be a really dumb question, but…
Why is it a brick? Does it symbolize something? Is it tool? Or a weapon? Or just some form of art?
LGBT history, I believe - the Stonewall Riots were a pivotal event in LGBT awareness and fighting for their rights. As it was a, well, riot, bricks were used, as is common for people spontaneously deciding to fight the power - a sort of “We didn’t come here to brawl, but we’ll tear up the streets if you want to make it one” energy.
It’s rumour that the riot “officially begun” with a brick being thrown too.
And that brick was thrown by a trans woman. That’s a definitely fact for sure
Man i loved the middle.
It was extremely relatable
It reminded me a bit of surviving Jack, fortunately this one did lock more than one season
Actual bricks are rough and crumble a little bit occasionally, you’d probably want to coat that in some epoxy.
Which will make it easier to clean!
It identifies as a tile.
It identifies as a projectile
To paraphrase, shout proudly and carry a brick.
That’s no brick; it’s a universal multi-tool.
🥱 Brick
☺️ Brick with built-in sling for maximum control and power
Honestly it just needs a slot for the phone and it becomes fashionable, practical and tactical.
Or, maximum range.
Mmm, layer cake
I like cake.
The cake is a lie?
Yep, my first tought 🍰
First I was sure these were kitchen sponges.
Is that a cake? I know everything is a cake, but is that also a cake?
Literally EVERYTHING!
looks tasty I know it isn’t tasty, but it looks tasty
I dig the ice cream look.
I call it The Commodore model
It’s a long range brick.
Flail moveset, deals blunt and emotional damage. Inflicts dysphoria buildup. Scales with dexterity and intelligence.
Ok, go on, what Ash of War?
