October 14, 1977, Anita Bryant is pied for her antigay bigotry at a press conference in Des Moines, IA.
It was 40 years ago today…
Never gets old.
40 years on and it still is gratifying
Anita’s still alive and kicking and being anti-gay. Thom Higgins, who threw the pie when he was 27 – and was poetically from Beaver Dam – passed away 17 years later at 44. Info on his life is here. The pie throwing was a big deal. In an age before the internet let gays feel connected, and long before ACT UP, the pie showed small pockets of gays that we could fight back.
it showed that gays were human beings, who might be in the room with you, that you had been accepting as being equals and treating as people. you didnt suspect them as bieng gay, why should you treat them different after? do they become less human after finding out?
i mean, its almost like you just found out they have an oppinion on your bullshitShe was “pied” on TV. All across the country, people got to see proof that the LGBT community weren’t going to just sit there and take it. People who thought they had no choice but to stay silent saw a horrible woman get humiliated on live TV.
One of the best moments in television history.

now THIS is an ally
Awe dude his sister died last year and she was gay.
And he had this huge mass wedding party to honor her.
And he called a bunch of celebrity chefs to make the food for it.
Wow this is… really cute?
I’m… sympathizing with Guy Fieri?
(And he did 101 gay weddings because he was trying to compare the Attorney General against marriage equality to Cruella DeVille, like, 101 dalmations.)
THE TRUE UNPROBLEMATIC FAVE
Come to think of it I never actually found a single reason to dislike him. To my knowledge he’s just a goofball who likes food.
Okay, so as far as I can tell, the whole thing people kinda roll their eyes about is Guy Fierei’s whole presentation. He’s loud and he’s got the bleached hair and he kinda seems like the annoying frat bro chanting “Shots!” at a party.
But.
Dude’s biggest show on TV is one where he drives around and highlights tiny restaurants that make good food. (And they do- I found my favorite pizza place in town because it was on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.) And they’re all little places, usually run by family or something, making food they love. So he’s doing an amazingly awesome thing for these small restaurants, driving a lot of business to them. I found this article that’s talking about how places see a definite bump in sales, and they can even tell when a repeat airs, because they’ll still get emails and stuff.
And there’s the fact that every time he goes out to film an episode, he invites a kid along from the Make-a-Wish foundation- actually, he invites their whole family, so no one feels left out. Apparently, that happens on all his shows, which is pretty amazing. Again, this is because of his sister- she was diagnosed with cancer as a kid, and beat it, though she died of melanoma a few years ago. So because he went through that as a kid, he does a lot to help out families who are dealing with that sort of thing. It’s pretty awesome.
I admit it, I’ve made fun of him before, because he does have that whole attitude that kinda grates. But when you put that aside, he’s a dude who’s enjoying himself, helping out a lot of people, and talking a lot about food he thinks is delicious. So good for him. There’s worse things in the world.
I have always and will always love guy.
he’s such a big goof…what’s not to love…Y'all Guy is wonderful. He got his start on Next Food Network Star and I remember that season very vividly. I saw it as a kid. He just wants people to have fun while they eat. That’s literally his only goal. There was a challenge where they had to make cupcakes for 5 year olds and everyone made these boring ass cupcakes like ‘Oh they’re decorated like the 4 seasons see its educational’ and they were criminally dull. The only thing that was changed was the frosting. And Guy comes up and starts making all these crazily shaped sushi cupcakes. Like cutting them into goofy shapes, making them bite sized, modeling them after dragons and stuff, it was so cool and the kids were EXCITED. He gets what makes thing fun on a fundamental, basic level. He’s not a douchebag frat boy. He’s that crazy uncle you were always excited to see at family gatherings.
Go watch Guy’s Grocery Games. Its on Hulu. He’s so goofy and fun and he’s just as excited for the winners as the winners themselves. The show really makes me happy to watch.
Y’all I joke on Guy Fieri but he geninely is an amazing motherfucker.
I’ve always loved his energy, tbh. This just makes me love him even more.

Hey so fun fact, my dad is good friends the woman who currently has this job and she told him that Trump’s admin is trying to force her out. They started advertising the job before they actually told her they were transferring her so she’d have to reapply.
Her name is Catherine (Cassie) Conley, and she’s a badass MIT grad that works as NASA’s planetary protection officer, which sounds super cool (though she says not as cool as the galactic administrator). The job is basically the only one in xenobiology (space life) and it’s her life’s work. She’s been doing this job for over 10 years and now Trump wants her out.
I’m beyond pissed that this keeps going around. I know it sounds like a joke job, but it’s a legitimate career that’s being taken away from literally one of the most intelligent women in the country by this asscactus of a presidency.
If ya’ll could signal boost this that’d be much appreciated. They need to know that this kind of bullshit isn’t acceptable
I was actually reading about this job in an NPR article and it sounds REALLY important. the job basically means you make sure we don’t contaminate any planets and anything we bring back like rocks or soil, etc doesn’t do the same here.

My favourite linguistic trap:
Gloucester and Cirencester do not rhyme.
See, now I’m suspicious about how BOTH of these are pronounced.
Cirencester is actually basically phonetic- soft Cs
Gloucester, on the other hand, goes the Featherstonehaugh* route- ‘ignore as many letters and syllables as you can get away with’- and is pronounced Gloss-ter
…I’ve been trying to come up with a proper reaction to this for six minutes now and can’t come up with more than >:/
Featherstonehaugh is legitimately ridiculous but most “gotcha” place names in Britain are actually quite predictable, they just follow their own specific rules. To wit:
-burg/burgh/borough is pronounced -brə (likewise, -bury is pronounced -bree when it’s a suffix; as a name on its own as it “bury st Edmund’s” it’s the same as the verb)
-shire is pronounced -shə®
-wick/wich is pronounced -ick/idge. This also applies to lots of other suffixes starting with a silent -w- like -wark
-ham is pronounced -əm with the h only pronounced after a vowel
-cester is pronounced -stə® unless there are two syllables before it (English place names tend to be trochaic and so the third syllable naturally receives stress which prevents dropping of the -ce- syllable). -chester meanwhile is always pronounced as written
-stead is pronounced -stid
-ton/-town are pronounced -tən
There are a few others but they mostly boil down to the fact that place names should, when written as one word, be pronounced as such and the stress should be placed accordingly rather than being given to each element independently (this is responsible for the -shire, -stead, and -ton rules as well as going a long way to explaining the -cester, -borough, and -ham rules)
Anyway, this explains why Brits are usually able to correctly guess the pronunciation of an unfamiliar place in England whilst Americans can’t
Edit: how could I forget that “St” or “Saint” are reduced to “sənt” i.e. they’re kinda treated as an unstressed prefix to the name of the Saint but, because the rules I mentioned about actually care about position relative to the stress (which is usually initial) rather than position relative to the start, this doesn’t affect those rules (e.g. a hypothetical “St Paulcester” would be pronounced “sənt paulstə®”)
if you know worcestershire sauce, I feel like you can extrapolate the pronunciation rules for the other places from there
