this day will not and shouldnt be centered around her or sean or julian, but i noticed a yoko’s post so i will say this really quickly
while i will forever acknowledge yoko witnessed a very traumatizing event, and i’m upset she had to as much as i dislike her, her taking that picture of john’s glasses is absolutely disgusting and disturbing. we don’t know what it was like to see him be murdered, but we do not need to see what his glasses looked like after being shot. we don’t need that at all. it’s disgusting alone the picture exists, but she used it as an album cover, and now posts it every chance she gets. whether it’s her or some estate posting it, it’s being posted chance possible, and it’s disgusting. this day is about remembering the beautiful soul we lost. it’s not about seeing that picture every year.
if i hadn’t made it clear, i do not like yoko. i am aware she unfortunately had to witness that, but that is no excuse for taking that picture and spreading it for the world to see. we may not have known him like she did, but i know we do not want to see it. even if it wasn’t john lennon, no one would want to see someone’s bloodied glasses that were worn the day they were murdered. it’s not art, it’s not showing anything positive.
we miss that man dearly, and we do not want to see that picture year when we are trying to remember the beautiful soul that was lost that many love.
if my future husband were to have gotten shot and killed and i got his glasses, i would NOT take a picture of them and display it for the world to see every single year. i wouldn’t even think of doing it. because it is disgusting.
i don’t care if it is her or her estate or whatever that controls her social media’s posting it, the picture shouldn’t exist. but it definitely be spread the way it is. every time i see that photo my heart literally shatters.
the john lennon estate needs to be fucking destroyed. it’s branding “john&yoko happy true love” when that relationship was toxic and exploits him as much as they can. it’s her only source of income because she won’t survive without him. no one knew who she was until she got with john. exploiting john is her only big source of income because her work alone is fucking bad and won’t give her enough to survive like john’s work has.
if me talking about yoko like this upsets you, you can unfollow. i don’t care. this blog does not like or support yoko and will gladly stand on that hill. let the trash take itself out.
Chub Rub is a Philadelphian band who just released their debut EP, Make Some Fucking Space, containing powerful feminist folk ballads such as “50 Ways to Kill Your R*pist” and “Shrink,” which boasts the titular lyric: “If you think I don’t fit in, well/Make some fucking space.” FUCK YES!!! I can’t tell you how excited I am about this group and what they’re doing for fat representation and liberation in music, specifically for the Philly community! 💗
“This is what makes Chub Rub feel so victoriously ground-breaking: that they’re four femme people demanding “fats to the front!” at their shows, performing alongside other explicitly body-positive acts like Thunder Thighs. By encouraging support and community among fat femmes, the four-piece addresses an aspect of accessibility and inclusivity in the DIY scene that is often ignored.”

Beatles discuss business sometime in early 1969 (John is offscreen to the right I’m pretty sure)
“anytime is paradise when i’m with you” ahshhshdh y’allllll
the point of “gender is a social construct” isn’t that gender is meaningless, it’s that we should be allowed to decide what it means
Sir please thats my emotional support stack of books that i havent read
In other, more important news:
A Glasgow nightclub has installed a two-way mirror which allows male revellers in private booths to spy on unsuspecting women as they visit the toilet! With no notification or signage anywhere in the venue many female club goers have been left feeling embarrassed and used. Although they do briefly show the mirrors in a promo video, the club has been quickly deleting comments and posts on their social media from club goers trying to alert others to the situation. This is pretty much illegal and hugley violates privacy. Thank you The Shimmy Club for giving us a shiny, new, creative and cool take on objectification. article here
i’m never leaving my house again, this world is just too fucked up.
