Name a better feeling than getting the first comment on a fic you were uncertain about and knowing that at least one person liked the tiny piece of your brain that you put on the internet

Comments are fucking LIFE, people. If you enjoyed, please let the author know!

you know what’s a better question than “is this too self-indulgent?”? “is this self indulgent enough?”

because, like, damn, maybe there just aren’t enough kitty ears in this story! maybe there isn’t enough homoerotic tension! maybe that character’s backstory just isn’t tragic enough!! we won’t know until we really ask ourselves these questions.

I wasn't sure this still existed...

Uh, hi?

Heyo! So glad I finally get to post this! Me and 45 other artists participated in a Hamilton zine illustrating the ENTIRE Hamilton soundtrack! I’m so happy I got the chance to participate in this project! I love all the songs in Hamilton, so I was pleased to receive “Schuyler Defeated”!

You can view the work of the other artists on the project here! There’s some truly amazing, bad-ass art going on, so definitely take a look when you get the chance!

Huge thank you to @jovaline for organizing this project, who got the amazing opportunity to bring this labor of love to the cast of Hamilton! You can read about her experience here!

Also, a special shout out to @jennerallydrawing for getting me involved with this project and sharing our love of Hamilton while working late nights in the labs! <3

Things kids today don’t have to worry about...

Having to open like 200 folders just to get into the games on your computer

Having this disaster happen when trying to put your straw into your Capri Sun.

Renting a movie from Blockbuster only to discover that the previous person hadn’t re-wound it.

When you were the only kid in class who still had a tape cassette player instead of a CD one

Watching your Tamagotchi die before your eyes because the buttons were stuck

Trying to get all the super-glued cellophane wrapping off your new CD so you could listen to it

Getting stuck on an inflatable chair when you sat there on a hot day

Getting woken up in the middle of the night because your Furby won’t stop talking

Accidentally dragging your light-colored marker through a dark color

Dropping your Spacemaker box and having everything inside it go everywhere

When your VCR destroyed your favorite tape

When you got poked by your slap bracelet after the fabric came loose

Playing Skip-It without pants on and getting your leg beat up from the thing

Getting third degree burns from going down a metal slide on a hot day.

THE TAMAGOTCHI OOOOONEEEE

Hi my name is Abigayle Char'ity Rebecka “Becky” Livingston and I have long powdered white hair (that’s how I got my nickname) with natural honey blonde streaks that reaches my mid-back and handsome black eyes like obsidian mirrors and a lot of people tell me I look like Marie Antoinette (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Alexander Hamilton but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a Patriot but my clothes are all British-made. I have pale white skin. I’m also a politician, and I go to a place called the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia where I’m a junior delegate (even though I’m a woman). I’m a Federalist (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly black. I love Hercules Mulligan and I buy all my clothes from him. For example today I was wearing floral stays with matching lace around it and a cotton petticoat, silk stockings and black heeled shoes. I was wearing pink rouge, white paint, and elderberry eyebrow darkener. I was walking outside the Pennsylvania State House. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of Republicans stared at me. I bit my thumb at them.

COLLINS-HUGHES: The first time I saw “Hamilton,” blown away as I was by it — and I am staunchly in the “Hamilton” is a work of genius camp — I was disappointed that there was so much terrific stuff for so many men to do, and basically two substantial female characters who are crucial to the story but still pretty much on its margins. SOLOSKI: Yeah, I can and will go completely fangirl for “Hamilton,” but that show is never passing the Bechdel test. The women are sensational, Renée Elise Goldsberry, as Angelica, his whip-smart sister-in-law, particularly, but the characters exist only to love, marry and seduce Hamilton. I’m glad that the script makes us aware of how brilliant Angelica is (“I’ve been reading Common Sense by Thomas/Paine./So men say that I’m intense or I’m insane”) and how much Eliza, Hamilton’s wife, achieves after his death, but there’s no getting around how marginal they are. After they meet him, do they ever talk about anything else? COLLINS-HUGHES: I knew you were going to pull out that quote! I love that line. But I do think the Bechdel test argument is not the strongest when these two characters, Angelica and Eliza, are sisters whose relationship predates and outlasts their relationships with Hamilton. Each has the other’s back, which matters, and it also matters that Angelica — who breaks my heart every time I listen to that cast album — has a relationship with Hamilton that’s not just about sexual attraction. It’s about intellectual companionship, too. SOLOSKI: I read recently that Lin-Manuel Miranda likes the idea of cross-casting some of the men’s roles with women once the show is licensed to high schools and colleges. A few years from now, I’d like to see a female Aaron Burr just killing it. That’s what I want to see all the time — not necessarily women in men’s roles, but roles for women that are just as rich and complicated and brave and villainous and surprising and messed up as those available to men. […] COLLINS-HUGHES: It feels to me like more producers are getting the message female artists have been sending: that it’s not O.K. to exclude them and that they’ll make as much noise as necessary to get doors opened to them. That issue was only amplified at last year’s Tonys when the creators of “Fun Home,” the wondrous Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori, got their book and score awards off-air. But I’d love to see greater daring by producers — and I’d like them to keep in mind that female theatergoers are a majority but not a monolith. SOLOSKI: This season, I’ve worried that we still need to approach female characters as victims to accept them as heroes. (More cynically, I’ve discovered that if you want a Tony this year, lose a child. Or survive a rape. I’m sure Ms. McDonald would have received a nomination had her “Shuffle Along” character been more anguished.) Next season, I’d like to see women suffer a little less and run the world a little more.

Bernie Sanders went all the way in on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump

It seems like Senator Sanders has sharpened his attacks on current front-runner Hillary Clinton on This Week With George Stephanopoulos. During the interview, Stephanopoulos asked Sanders if he stood by his statement.
