little known fact, once you are older & no longer in school, time stops being real. did that thing happen one year ago? two? five? a few months ago? who knows.
Hugh Hefner was a giant in publishing, journalism, free speech and civil rights. He was a true original and very progressive, and decades ahead of the rest of the U.S.
He always hired African Americans at a competitive and fair wage.
Hef insisted on interracial casting of his TV show, even when Southern stations threatened to boycott. Hef was the first.
Hefner long before he became sort of a doddering caricature was a STRONG voice for Civil rights and free speech issues. RIP Hugh.
I saw a post calling him a sicko not too long ago.. I didn’t even know Hugh was truly a legend/amazing ally ahead of his time. Rest in Peace, Hef.
Getting misty-eyed imagining the future: spaceships exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations, going boldly &c., &c., all while triumphantly bearing “ARSE” in large letters on their hulls.
I have never felt more patriotic than I do at this very moment.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
