50 years ago Freda Josephine Baker (née McDonald) died in #Paris #france

She was an #artist, #singer, #dancer, #actress, and a #fighter for #freedom

During #WW2 she fought against #facism as part of the #resistance and always fought against #racism

She was an #independent #woman that resisted inequality of her time

Her life was not easy, she did not inherit fortunes she could build on

She did it herself

Let's borrow some of her courage & build a society she'd liked

Olympus OM-1 + Kodak Ultramax 400. Revelação e digitalização no Laboratório do Fil.
I posted the first one earlier, and now I'm posting the full sequence. Not happy with all the photos, especially the last two are completely out of focus. But the film roll was running out and I had enough for one attempt with each dancer.

The fact there's a "womans" and "mens" league is kind of fucked in of itself.

I've done some heavy rapier in the #SCA #societyforcreativeanachronism . You're a fencer or you're not. (As for me, I'm more a #musician and a #dancer .)

When you practice, it's anybody who fences, using appropriate safety gear. When you enter competitions, it's anybody who entered the competition, using the appropriate safety gear.

We don't care about original or chosen gender. Its all about fighting prowess.

I'm questioning why "USA Fencing" even is splitting alongside some bullshit gender lines. Get rid of that arbitrary split. Put'em all together. It's worked for the SCA for, (checks watch) 40 years.
