Tragic Upstairs Lounge fire being remembered 50 years later
50 years ago 32 people died in the deadliest fire in history of the City of New Orleans.
50 years ago, on June 24th 1973, an arson set fire to the Upstairs Lounge in New Orleans, a well known and very popular LGBTQA Bar located in the French Quarter on the corner of Iberville and Chartres streets.
The fire tore through the building, spreading into adjacent bars and apartments. Just the smoke from the fire alone triggered a stampede which killed some of the patrons trying to escape.
All in all, 32 people died and it became enshrined in US History as the deadliest attack against the LGBTQA community in American history up until the Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016.
Of course the resulting investigation went nowhere. To many LGBTQA people in NOLA, the New Orleans police never really tried to find out who committed this arson. Many believe the investigation was cut short just when police began finding some leads, this is even mentioned in the article. But no one was ever arrested or prosecuted for this crime.
Here are some photos in remembrance of those LGBTQA New Orleanians who lost their lives on that fateful day in 1973.
We hope here that the families of those who lost their lives find solace in the gains made for LGBTQA people since 1973 and we hope all the victims of this horrid crime rest in peace ❤️

Hi ! How are you ? You seem really cool ! I have a few questions for you :)
I was wondering what parts of your studies did you like the most ? Like a favorite subject , specific assignments , a very good teacher...
Do you still struggle with gender stereotypes in your line of work ? And if yes do you see an evolution since you started ?
And it's a little unrelated so i understand if you don't want to answer ,but i saw belgium in your description, do you speak french ?
Hi! So nice of you to stop by!
I'm okay at the moment, the end-of-the-week-tiredness has set in.
I never really knew what archaeology classes would be about, and I have noticed between colleagues who went to different unies that classes may very a whole lot. However I never expected myself to like landscape and ecology as much as I have. It's super duper interesting and all of a sudden with just a few classes things made so much more sense! I'm Belgian with a Dutch father and going to the Netherlands all the things I was so used to seeing in the landscape suddenly told me stories that go back 450 years or even pre-history!
Within archaeology itself there isn't that much of gender stereotypes going around. Archaeology is one of the most LGBTQA+ friendly work environments and I can name many colleagues who are on that "spectrum", including myself! People are often surprised to hear that archaeology is dominated by women. Very few male archaeologists will feel bad about it. It's a fact and that's it. It's nice to have men around because they are just physically stronger than women. On the other hand women tend to have a longer attention span and are better at detail work such as skeletons and have a better steady hand. But the basic heavy labor is equal to us both. The public however only knows archaeology stereotypes: dinosaurs, treasures, Indiana jones,... and they all expect us to look like Phil Harding (Phil I love you, but sorry :/).
I am indeed Belgian, but Flemish born so a native Dutch speaker. I have learned French but don't use it often and im much better at Germanic languages. I have learned high level English in no time, could speak basic German in two and a half months and I understand some Swedish, I know how to use Cyrillic, and am comfortable around Old Dutch, Old (High) German, Anglo Saxon, Frisian and old Norse. I can transcribe Gothic and Early Modern Dutch and English.
However I have tried Spanish, couldn't get going with it, and after all of the years I've had French in school, its actually pathetic and im almost scared to speak it because they focussed so much on exceptions in the language that we lost track of basics. Latin was never a question. Plain "nope".

Armed with a newly minted university degree and a plane ticket to Paris, Jessie’s plan was to celebrate graduation in the City of Love, kissing as many drunk French girls (or boys, she’s not picky) as she can. Only, she never makes it. When her plane goes down mid-Atlantic she’s pulled from what should have been a watery grave by an intriguing British Naval Captain—in 1805! Stuck in Regency-era England, Jessie is left with no choice but to enter into the services of the Captain’s sister as a lady’s companion. But she didn’t reckon on the sister being Margaret Goodenough, the world-famous authoress whose yet-to-be-completed novel was the first lesbian kiss in the history of British Literature. And Jessie’s not just entranced by Margaret’s powerful words… As their attraction grows, Jessie must tread the tenuous line between finding her own happiness in a world where she is alone, and accidentally changing the future of the queer rights movement. Is Jessie’s duty to preserve Margaret’s history-making book? Or to the happiness of its author, the woman she’s learning to love? LINK to retailers in Bio.

What The Hell Is Satanism? The Backstory, The Beliefs, And The A-To-Z On Devil Worshippers
4 days ago, Nike decided to sue a small indie art collective based in New York.
This isn’t news. This isn’t the first time a profit-mongering fashion-giant has targeted businesses trying to make a name for themselves. And it won’t be the last.
But this time, there’s probably something else influencing the executives reclining on their plush leather seats: they said it was because MSCHF stamped on the Nike Swoosh. But we all know what the real problem was:
These kicks were soaked with Satanic imagery - oh, and a single drop of human blood.
"MSCHF and its unauthorised Satan Shoes are likely to cause confusion and dilution and create an erroneous association between MSCHF's products and Nike”
Translation: no, we don’t want to be associated with devil worshippers.
Satan and his followers have once again hit the press following Lil Nas X’s latest viral YouTube hit and release of his custom footwear. And he does the belief system - and the LGBTQA+ community - justice.
But Satanism goes much deeper than pole dancing your way to hell.
It goes deeper than the fears of your evangelical aunt, it goes deeper than the rumours of a sacrificial ritual that happened in the woods outside of town, and it goes deeper than QAnon conspiracy theories.
Today we explore what Satanism really is. And what it really isn’t.
*twerks towards hell*
Tumblr media
What Is Satanism?
Satanism is a group of modern religions that are centred around Satan, an entity in Abrahamic religions (e.g. Christianity and Judaism) that rebelled against God, has power over Hell and demons, and seduces humans into sin. Satan features in a vast number of major religions: he started off in Zoroastrianism, then making his way to Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. But the modern followers of Satanism are inspired by the Christian fallen angel and ruler of hell.
A large proportion of Satanists follow atheistic Satanism - they don’t necessarily believe in an entity but follow a philosophy that focuses on individualism and satisfying the ego, or rebel specifically against the dominance of Christianity in Western society.
Although Satan is typically considered the embodiment of evil, most strands of Satanism are not. However, there are some groups that fit this mould like the Order of the Nine Angles: they’re neo-Nazis.
The actual worship of Satanism only began just over 50 years ago, in 1966. But the use of the term ‘Satanist’ stretches back centuries further. Calling someone a ‘Satanist’ (or something to that effect) was an insult reserved for those that disagreed with a Christian group’s beliefs.
Tumblr media
A Not-very-brief-but-look-I-tried-ok History Of Satanism
Here’s the thing about Satanism: at one point in history, every religious group was deemed Satanist. 
You see, that’s how it all started.
Even the term ‘Satan’ originally meant ‘adversary’. It didn’t necessarily refer to a horned, evil ex-angel once scorned by the Almighty. It meant ‘other’; it was just an insult. It wasn’t created by groups of men draped in blood red robes preparing to slaughter a virgin to their ungodly master - Satanism was actually created by Christians.
The word ‘Satanism’ was first recorded in French and English literature back in the 16th century. Against the backdrop of the Reformation (when the Western Christian Church split off into Protestantism, Catholicism, and other more niche shards) rival religious groups would label each other with such terms frequently in various tracts and texts.
It was not to say that Protestants, for example, were actively worshipping Satan but were instead deviating from what Catholics thought was true Christianity. By ‘incorrectly’ serving God, they were supporting Satan’s claim to ruin the world with sin and evil.
*Disney villain laugh*
In the 19th century it broadened to encompass anyone that lived an immoral lifestyle and was thus serving Satan’s will. But in this same century it evolved yet again.
Yep, it’s time to introduce the actual Satanists: texts began to emerge that mention people that revered and worshipped Satan. It took a long 300 years for Satanists to reclaim their title. But the story doesn’t end here: this is a really important theme that runs like blood through the history of Satanism. Or, rather, the history of religious prejudice and persecution.
Throughout, well, all of human history, we have been swept up unto the belief that there is a dark, evil force lurking within our communities. The most recent example claims Joe Biden and his Democrat friends are Satan-worshipping baby-eating America-hating pedophiles. The fears of a discrete force that can hide at will fits the descriptors of the Judeo-Christian devil. And so, it had been applied to persecuted groups for centuries.
The Witch Trials and the Spanish Inquisition are the most famous examples of this. Satanism evolved in the Medieval era to scapegoat certain groups or to reinforce social norms by emphasising the apparently very real fight between good and evil.
Narratives of the French Revolution at the time were contorted with rumours of revolutionaries being part of a secret Satanic conspiracy. This revolution struck a blow to the power of the Catholic church, and some fingers pointed towards the dark lord of hell himself. Some even believed these revolutionaries had amassed supernatural powers to curse people and shape-shift into various creature ‘n’ critters like cats or fleas!
In the 20th century, another historical shift took place. And this time it (supposedly) happened from within the secret societies themselves: non-fiction authors and tabloids began to recount the allegations of people who once claimed to have been part of Satanic groups before converting to Christianity.
Doreen Irvine claimed she was given the ability to levitate amongst other witchy-powers. But Irvine’s claims sent shockwaves across the pond in the US. Much more horrific allegations were about to take centre stage. In the 1980s this would reach its climax with the Satanic Panic:
Also known as the Satanism Scare, the book Michelle Remembers (1980) detailed the alleged repressed memories of a psychiatrist’s patient which claimed they had been abused as a child for Satanic rituals. In these rituals, babies would be sacrificed and Satan would appear.
Reports of sexual child abuse for these rituals - known as Satanic Ritual Abuse - proliferated until the 1983 case made against the McMartin family. The McMartins owned a preschool in California and were allegedly sexually abusing the children in their care for ritualistic purposes. A lengthy trial ensued and the McMartins were eventually cleared of all charges.
But it was too late.
An evangelical anti-Satanism movement emerged claiming no children would lie about such claims and therefore all accused must be guilty. A conspiracy theory similar to those before emerged claiming SRA was rampant across the US, but it lost momentum by the turn of the 90s. Various investigations by the FBI and British government looked into SRA but found no evidence of Satanism or rituals in any cases of child abuse. Some lone cases of pedophiles did involve rituals, but these were isolated events that never involved Satanist groups.
Tumblr media
The 7 Types Of Satanism
Satanism is an umbrella term to describe a vast array of religious groups. There’s a swirling sea of beliefs from the philosophical Satanists that don’t actually believe in Satan to the minority groups that are willing to sacrifice humans in the name of worshipping their god.
However, this ocean does share a common focus on individualism, self-perception, and non-conformity - traditional traits associated with the devil.
There are 3 forms of Satanism: reactive (attempts to invert Christianity and celebrates rebellion), rationalist (atheist and materialistic beliefs), and esoteric (actually worships Satan and draws upon religions like Paganism and western Esotericism).
The Church of Satan kick-started modern Satanism. Erected in 1966, Anton LaVey promoted an atheistic philosophy that focused on indulgence and an ‘eye for an eye’ ethical code that celebrated mankind as animals in an amoral world. Hate and aggression were not wrong but were advantageous for one’s survival. Yes, the seven deadly sins were actually beneficial for the individual.
The First Satanic Church was founded on Halloween night in 1999 by the daughter of Anton LaVey after his church was taken over by a new administration that Karla deemed against her father’s work.
The Satanic Temple is an atheist-activist group that stages political ‘pranks’ that rebel against the political and social dominance of Christianity. They aim to showcase religious hypocrisy in stunts such as performing a ‘Pink Mass’ over the grave of a Westboro Baptist Church goer (known for their explicit and offensive signs). They use Satan as a metaphor to rebel against a society that restricts personal autonomy and curiosity.
Luciferianism is a belief system that pivots around the characteristics associated with Lucifer. Followers believe Lucifer is the illuminated aspect of Satan, thus considering themselves Satanists. But some believe he is a more positive force than Satan. They follow the ancient myths of Egypt, Rome, and western Occultism. They consider him the true god - a destroyer but also a ‘light-bringer’ to the world.
The Temple of Set does not necessarily revere Satan by instead a being they call Set. Satan was the corrupted name of set, an entity that is the one true god. It gave humanity intellectual abilities to separate it from animals and they believe in a Setian philosophy with self-deification as the aim of all humanity.
The Order of the Nine Angles was inspired by ancient Pagan groups resident in Shropshire in the late 60s. But the founder of the group, Anton Long, is considered the pseudonym of neo-Nazi David Myatt. They encourage human sacrifice as a part of rituals and several members have joined the police and the military to do this without getting caught. The ONA is linked to several rapes, murders, cases of child abuse, and right-wing terrorism. They are also connected to several neo-nazi terror organisations.
The Joy Of Satan - contrary to its name - ain’t joyful. It’s an Occultist group that combines Satanism, Paganism, and UFO conspiracy theories. Just like the ONA, they’re Nazis. They believe Satan is one of many demonic deities which are powerful humanoid extraterrestrial beings which are equated with ancient gods. They believe Satan created humanity and brought us knowledge.
Reactivism isn’t a form of Satanism that is followed by an organised group but rather practiced on a personal, isolated level. It is considered an anti-social means of rebelling in a society dominated by Christianity. Most reactive Satanists are adolescents, mentally-disturbed, and have taken part in criminal activity associated with Satanic rituals they discovered through personal learning.
For example, in the 1970s two groups of teenagers in LA and Big Sur killed 3 people and ate parts of their corpses as a part of rituals devoted to Satan. Plotted murder and cannibalism are common traits of reactive Satanist crimes.

The A-To-Z Of Devil Worship
Baphomet
A deity that the Knights Templar allegedly worshipped. It is associated with the Sabbatic Goat which represents the equilibrium of opposites (half-man and half-goat, male and female, good and evil).
Black Mass
It is traditionally known as a requiem mass (funeral mass) in the Roman Catholic church from which the celebrants wear black clothes. However, it has been appropriated by Satanic cults. It often involves a naked woman as an altar and is the site of various Satanic magical rituals.
Cutter vs Wilkinson
A Supreme Court case which claimed federal funds cannot deny prisoners accommodations that are needed to engage in religious practices. Five residents of an Ohio prison including a member of a white supremacist Christian church, a Wiccan, and a Satanist filed the suit, claiming the officials failed to accommodate their ‘nonmainstream’ religions.
Devil
The personification of evil which shows up in many different religions. It is Satan in Abrahamic texts.
Demon
A supernatural entity often associated with evil. The original Greek word - daimon - did not have negative connotations.
Demonology
The study of demons.
Demonolatry
The worship of demons.
Goats
Satanism is always associated with goats. But why? There are several reasons: Baphomet is half-man, half-goat; the ‘infernal goat’ is depicted in many witches’ sabbats; Pagan traditions involved horned gods Christian forces deemed devilish; and the tarot card depicting the devil is a goat. In 1966, the church of Satan adopted baphomet as the sigil.
Lucifer
The name of mythological and religious figures associated with Venus. It is associated in the Christian tradition with Satan as he supposedly fell from heaven. Often called ‘the morning star’ or described as ‘light bringing’.  
Stanislaw Przybyszewski
The first guy to promote a Satanic philosophy.

Shirley Souagnon for Black History Month
Rather than choosing a historical figure, I decided to promote an actual french artist, still fully alive, who’s making the change we need .
Meet Shirley Souagnon .
Shirley Souagnon is a french lesbian humorist and also an entrepeneur.. She started young on a TV spot and an episode of a french serie called Navarro. When she was in highschool she got recruted by the Madison High School of Houston, Texas, in order to play in their basket-ball team.
Few years later, Shirley is back to France and starts to do stand-up comedy. She writes her first one-woman show Sketch-Up! in 2008 and starts to particpate to some famous TV show focused on stand-up comedy. She slowly but surely rises and starts doing radio, fictionnal tv show while still doing stand-up comedy. In 2019, she opens her own comedy club called the Barbes Comedy Club.
As you can notice by her last stand-up poster (Mister Shirley), Shirley loves to talk about how it is to be a black lesbian woman with an androgynous look. More than that, she’s doing a lot for several charities (LGBTQA+, feminist, african ones) and she also promotes a new wave of great artists such as Tahnee or KT Gorique (who are also great black lesbian artists).
Also, in 2018, Shirley and several other black women created an essay called Noire n’est pas mon métier (Black is not my job) who denounces the racism in cinema and society. I hiighly recommend you all this powerfull and important essay who will give some powerfull black artists testimonies.
You can follow Shirley Souagnon on Youtube and Instagram, and you can also see her on Netflix in Comedians of the World (France category, she got the first episode).

I’m pissed
I’m honestly terrified of what’s happening in my country right now. The shear amount of violence, hate and lack of education makes me really scared about the well-being of my fellow Polish people. But let’s start from the beginning: 1. “You are either with us or against us!” - Even ancient people knew that it’s easier to rule if your citizen separate themselves into groups that despise each other. That’s what currently happens in Poland (and USA, and most likely in different parts of the world). You are either with the ruling party or against it. Nazi or communist. Pro birth or pro choice. Catholic or heretic. There is no in-between. Or at least, that’s what the government wants. The worst part is that the succeed  2. The government failed to stop the pandemic. People are standing in queues to get a vaccine and you know what? They won’t get it because there are none! You want to get tested? Well, good luck, you have to wait at least a month! Oh, you need to go to the hospital? That’s to bad because we don’t have beds. 3. You know what they did to hide the state of medical care? On the night of 27.01.2021 the abortion ban was published. Now you can’t abort a fetus that most likely will be born dead. Or at the very least, the baby will be suffering due to a serious disease. TO HIDE THEIR FALIURE THEY ARE MAKING WOMEN TO BECOME WALKING COFFINS! I’m sorry, there is no better way to describe it. I can’t stress it enough, nobody is making you to have an abortion. It’s about the CHOICE. But the government knows better, so be stupid people, we will tell you what to think.  4. You know what that means? Incoming protests. Sure, let’s make people walk the streets during an actual pandemic! How detached you have to be to do it? Or rather, how inhumane?  5. If you are an LGBTQA+ (like myself), just stop. What, you expect to have rights? To stay at home? To be respected? Oh, no, no, no... you see, we are a Catholic country. We love everyone as long as they they are /normal/. Do I even need to say how disgusting that is?  6. Btw. if you are not Catholic, that’s too bad. You will have to attend church classes until middle school and memories catholic doctrine. What? You are not catholic (like myself)? That’s too bad. By the way, I hope you don’t mind if we give your tax money to church organisations and specifically that one priest who has his own radio and television station? You see, he tells people to vote for one and only political party, so we owe him a couple of milion.  7. AND DON’T FORGET ABOUT HISTORY! Yeah, let’s hate Germans, Russians, British and French (because WW II)! Let’s hate Jewish people because nobody remembers that Polish people also suffered during the war (I wish I was joking). Why build future if we can keep talking about XVII and XX century?  I’m sorry for this rant. I don’t normally want to write things like that, but I reached my breaking point today. Anyway, please, be kind to each other. Be skeptics and don’t just believe what others tell you. Find reliable sources of information. Don’t let your culture, religion or gut-feeling cloud your judgment. We are all people and we deserve to live without anyone telling us that there is something wrong with us

Armed with a newly minted university degree and a plane ticket to Paris, Jessie’s plan was to celebrate graduation in the City of Love, kissing as many drunk French girls (or boys, she’s not picky) as she can. Only, she never makes it. When her plane goes down mid-Atlantic she’s pulled from what should have been a watery grave by an intriguing British Naval Captain—in 1805! Stuck in Regency-era England, Jessie is left with no choice but to enter into the services of the Captain’s sister as a lady’s companion. But she didn’t reckon on the sister being Margaret Goodenough, the world-famous authoress whose yet-to-be-completed novel was the first lesbian kiss in the history of British Literature. And Jessie’s not just entranced by Margaret’s powerful words… As their attraction grows, Jessie must tread the tenuous line between finding her own happiness in a world where she is alone, and accidentally changing the future of the queer rights movement. Is Jessie’s duty to preserve Margaret’s history-making book? Or to the happiness of its author, the woman she’s learning to love?
