Bob

Remember the episode where the gems had to play baseball to beat the Rubies and Lapis' name was Bob?

I think that nickname came from the episode where she stole the ocean to get back to homeworld.

When Steven fixed her gem and she thanked him he went "No prob Bob"

Not important but why not?

Does anyone know how I can make this whole post a Pinterest pin?

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

#ActsofPride Day 11 - Favorite LGBTQIA+ historical figure

“Each time I leaped I seemed to touch the sky, and when I regained earth it seemed to be mine alone.” - Josephine Baker  

Tumblr Creatr @Rose contributed this original work based on today’s prompt celebrating the iconic Josephine Baker. The American-born world renowned Black bisexual dancer, actress, singer, civil rights champion, and WWII French resistance agent rose to fame in the 1920s and quickly became one of the most famous entertainers in her adopted home of France. Pablo Picasso and Earnest Hemingway were also huge fans.

The artist told us a little about why Baker inspires her:

“Josephine Baker was hailed as ‘The Black Venus’ by fellow artists of her time. Though she fled the oppression she faced in America in 1925 to live the majority of her life in France, she returned often to fight for civil rights, speaking alongside Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington. Now more than ever, it is vital to lift up queer Black lives and histories, and Josephine’s is one of pure resilience, love, and absolute joy”

We’re excited to see your favorite LGBTQIA+ historical figures too ♥️
