Five Days of Yam-Pak Movies ~ Day 1: Madam Yun // 芸娘 (dir. Chu Kea / 珠璣, 1960) - starring Yam Kim Fai (任劍輝) and Pak Suet Sin (白雪仙)
Summary and more information under the cut!
Summary Inspired by Shen Fu/沈復's Qing Dynasty autobiography Six Records of a Floating Life/浮生六記. Madam Yun focuses on Shen Fu (Yam Kim Fai) and his wife Yun (Pak Suet Sin), who live in married bliss with their children at the former’s familial home. However, they fall foul of the machinations of Shen Fu’s younger half-brother, who has designs on the inheritance, and are summarily kicked out. The young family struggle to adjust to their poverty, but their plight is worsened by Yun becoming chronically ill; these desperate straits result in Shen Fu having to leave his family behind in search of paying work. Thankfully, after all his efforts he is able to find a benefactor, and the family is reunited under one roof (which is, sadly, not what happened in real life).

“Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. Whatever the vexations or concerns of their personal lives, their thoughts can find paths that lead to inner contentment and to renewed excitement in living. Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.”
— Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder
do you ever think about that joke people seem to love that's like, "why do mothers always say 'my baby is 24 months old'? no, [woman's name] your child is 2." as if it's not extremely obvious that mothers who state their baby's or toddler's age in months are dedicated to keeping track of the child's development and looking after them appropriately, which at that stage is, yes, important right down to the exact month. and mothers are answering this way because that's the number they have in their heads from spending so much of their time dedicated to the wellbeing of their child, not because they're being pedantic or annoying or whatever it is people are projecting onto these women. and it's never, "why do dads always say 'my baby is 24 months old'?" it's specifically always mothers who are made fun of for this, and they're literally just being made fun of for being good, diligent, dedicated mothers.
1994 flyer for UK record label Soul Static Sound.
Soul Static Sound was a weird little label. It started out showcasing bands aligned in some way with the riot grrl scene, such as Skinned Teen, Huggy Bear and Kicking Giant. But it also made room for other kinds of bands well-removed from mainstream pop sensibilities, as shown here in a catalog listing releases by New York experimental rock band God Is My Co-Pilot, ragged pop enthusiasts Comet Gain and a couple of Sebadoh offshoots (Unconvinced and Sparkalepsy).
Where it got really weird is when the label turned hard in the mid-to-late nineties away from guitar-based sounds towards post-rock and electronica. (That was somewhat of a trend back then. Even Mr. Indie Pop himself, Mike Schulman, turned his attention from Slumberland Records for a bit to spotlight this newer music via his offshoot label, Drop Beat Records.)
This flyer dates from what I’d consider the heyday of Soul Static Sound, also listing what looks like a few gigs near the bottom. I’d gladly travel back to May 29, 1994 for a chance to see Pram and Prolapse on the same bill.

omg !! My sister is in middle school and they just did the Wizard of Oz as their school musical, she did the set design which was very cute ^^
Anyways, I love this movie because I find the Tin Man relatable, also why’s his name Hickory ;-; And recently I was researching Dorothy Arzner and I think she was close (?) with Billie Burke so that’s cool.
Billie Burke in “The Wizard of Oz” (1939)
“My favorite role was in The Wizard of Oz, directed by the great Victor Fleming, in which I played Glinda, the Good Fairy. I never played such a being on stage, but this role is as close as I have come in motion pictures to the kind of parts I did in the theater.” —Billie Burke
(From With a Feather on My Nose by Billie Burke and Cameron Shipp, 1949)
reblogging this one because I’ve always loved the top right pin, I really wish they’d make a reprint. I actually found a rip-off one on Etsy that would theoretically work if you just took the pin outside and weathered it down a little 😭 In terms of vintage pins, the lesbian pins really understand graphic design while the bisexual pins are suffering slightly.
