you know what’s something so rare these days it’s quite shocking to see in these #preCode 1920s and 30s movies? older women ―and by old, i mean women who are seemingly in their 50s and older― having the times of their lives banging their way thru life… or Europe.

there was a time when fascist #puritanism wasn’t the rule in American culture. don’t let the fascists gaslight you.

puritans and fascists have always been the lying minority.
