“But the question is, Did John Brown fail? He certainly did fail to get out of Harpers Ferry before being beaten down by United States soldiers; he did fail to save his own life, and to lead a liberating army into the mountains of Virginia. But he did not go to Harpers Ferry to save his life.

“The true question is, Did John Brown draw his sword against slavery and thereby lose his life in vain? And to this I answer ten thousand times, No! No man fails, or can fail, who so grandly gives himself and all he has to a righteous cause. No man, who in his hour of extremest need, when on his way to meet an ignominious death, could so forget himself as to stop and kiss a little child, one of the hated race for whom he was about to die, could by any possibility fail.” Frederick Douglass, 30 May 1881, oration on the fourteenth anniversary of the raid on Harpers Ferry Link to the Frederick Douglass speech

John Brown’s Raid on Harpers Ferry (wikipedia)

John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry was an effort by abolitionist John Brown, from October 16 to 18, 1859, to initiate a slave revolt in Southern states by taking over the United States arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (since 1863, West Virginia). It has been called the dress rehearsal for, or Tragic Prelude to the Civil War.

It’s been almost a year since everything started to fall apart, and there are still far too many nights where I find myself absolutely wrecked and sobbing on my bathroom or bedroom floor. We were never official, but I really think you were the one for me. I was ready to drop everything and move if the moment was right. And tonight, just seeing the name of the city and state where you are has me wrecked all over again. No other relationship has cut me this deeply, and I’ve had some pretty shitty ones. I know all my friends are tired of hearing about it so I feel even more alone, and talking to a tumblr I barely use anymore. Why do I still miss you so much, why would I still take you back if the chance was there, why can’t I let you go, why can’t I heal? If this is what love is, I don’t want it.

[beatlefnatic]

My birthday is in two days and while it’s been several months since I’ve heard from you, I’m still struggling to move forward. This is not where I pictured myself when we met a year ago, I thought you were different. I thought we had a chance. I’d still love to hear from you, still love to see you again, but I know it’s pointless. Grief really does come in waves.

[beatlefnatic]

I’m really tired of crying.

I don’t know why this is so hard for me to move forward from. But I’m really tired of sobbing my heart out every night. I’m really tired of missing you. Christ, I’m doing everything I can - I’m back on my meds, I’ve been working with a therapist since October, but, I still find myself unable to sleep and just utterly heartbroken. I would think that eventually I’d run out of tears. Instead, I feel like I’m screaming into a void and I’m sure all my friends are sick of hearing about it. It all just hurts.

[beatlefnatic]

I was supposed have spent Valentines weekend in Ohio, I was supposed to be excitedly preparing for you to come down here next weekend. It wasn’t supposed to end up this way. Instead, I’m still sitting here, trying my damndest to not blame myself and wondering how the hell I misread everything. My therapist says this all part of the grieving process, that it’s okay for it to hurt, that it’s okay to be angry. But, I just want it all to be different. Now I’m worried that I’m going to end up crying at the hockey game, because it was supposed to be you with me. I know one of my best friends won’t judge me and will understand, but it wasn’t supposed to end up like this. And there’s no point in actually telling you this, because you won’t fucking respond, or if you do, it’ll be a sentence, completely unrelated to anything I’ve said. I guess this is just how it’s going to be now.

One time a friend told me that if she wanted to have a chill night she would come to me and ask for tea and a book to read. I didn’t like tea at the time, but I always made sure my cupboards had them in case she needed a quiet night. One time I told my boss that I loved oranges, but couldn’t peel them because of my nails. For a year he made sure to peel me one at least once a week. Once my friends gave me a made up superlative of “most likely to have a pen they could borrow” and ever since I’ve made sure I always carry a pen with me. A long time ago, my high school librarian told me that no one would care what my grade in my sophomore chemistry class was if I’m bringing them doughnuts and asking them about their day.

[coffeepeople]

Sometimes friendship is about carrying pens and peeling oranges. But the point is, surrounding yourself with people who you want to do the little things for. The point of it all is bringing in the doughnuts because you’ve found the people who deserve the doughnuts.

[coffeepeople]

And I’m so fucking lucky, and I don’t always say it or even think it. Because I have friends who send me letters and who told me when the cafeteria at work had chopped tomatoes and who want to watch Scream with me and it just hits me sometimes that this world can do the ugliest things to people, but as long as I still have a friend who will point out dogs on the sidewalks to me then I have something amazing to live for. And as long as I have pals who I want to make peppermint bark for, then I have a reason to keep pushing this world to be better.

Just once, I would like the hopeless romantic in me to get her way. I want the surprises, the texts that make me smile, the walls to come down. I’m tired of having my guard up…I want to fall. I want this to work. I want the overthinking to be worth it, to not leave me in tears. I want that random introduction from the groom to lead to something. I want what only seems to happen in movies - no grand gestures, but the little things. I want me actually making the first move to work out. I want to see where this goes.

Sometimes you need to close your eyes and listen to music that makes you feel, that makes you sob.

Once upon a time I worked in this little burger/coffee/ice cream shop and a lady came in one winter and asked if we had a caramel apple drink and we were like ‘well we have cider’ and she was like ‘no I don’t remember what it’s called but this place made a drink that was chai tea, apple cider, and caramel’ and Breezy offered to try and make something for her but she changed her mind and left so Breezy and I were like ‘alright let’s try this’ because we had chai tea, instant cider mix, a shit ton of caramel, instant hot water from the espresso and too much free time. 

And let me tell you it was delightful. It tastes like watching the leaves changing color and dancing in the wind. It tastes like picking out pumpkins and gourds and fresh apples at the farm up north. It tastes like witches and freedom.

I make it every year now and this year I walked in the house on the morning of October first with all the ingredients and shouted ‘FALL DRINK’ and my roommates were like ‘????’ so I made them Fall Drink and now every time they get home from work they’re like ‘Fall Drink pls?????’

Anyway I remember literally nothing else about that woman but I’m very grateful to her. 

[lightrises]

for anyone wondering about proportions/etc here’s op’s answer from the repiles:

[not-rude-ginger]

@gaslightgallows I feel this would be relevant to your interests. 

[gaslightgallows]

I don’t like caramel but I can vouch for hot chaider being amazing.

[scifrey]

Deareat @simonalkenmayer I feel like this is relevant to your interests.

Also, I do something like this in the crock pot with the overly sweet Growers Pumpkin Apple Cider, chai spices, cloves, a bit of orange juice, and some super dry Pinot Grigio.

Mix, heat, and serve on a nippy night best spent cuddled under blankets with a book.

[simonalkenmayer]

My friend, you have essentially backward engineered a wonderful winter drink from the Stuart period.

White sack wine, cider, spices (clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, ginger) tea, sugar, and if you want it authentic, a bit of cream or whipped egg. All this is brought together in a low temperature and then stewed for a time. It can also be “pulled”, a process in which one “stirs” the concoction by using a ladle and pouring it repeatedly from high in the air. Makes it foamy and frothy. 

Serve warm.

On a cold night, this is a delightful thing. Believe it or not, we also used to make it with a stout beer instead of wine. For a darker richer flavor.

[ms-demeanor]

One Black Tea Bag, One Cup Apple Juice, 2tsp butter, 2tsp brown sugar, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to taste will also accomplish something similar (just melt the butter and brown sugar together and whisk them around a pan a bit - don’t bother making proper caramel) Make your faux-caramel then you add the apple juice and then the rest; heat it up to a boil then turn off the heat, drop the tea bag in and let it steep for 3 minutes, serve with gingersnaps.

legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends

any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don’t have to choose what it is if they can’t make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you’re just gonna make food happen at their house.

friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.

someone’s relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.

buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.

pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that’s what they want.

people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.

legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.

[woodox-earthtaurus]

What if all your friends live in different states but you still want to do this?

[intosnarkness]

Three options:

Delivery doesn’t care where you, the orderer, live. They care about where they are delivering to. So you can order a pizza in California if you live in Australia. You just have to ask your buddy where they like pizza from and then either call that place or order online if they’ll let you. With pandemic times, you may also be able to order groceries.

Make something non-perishable and mail it. I have never done this, but soup mix in a jar (mail it in plastic, glass breaks) is an idea I just had. You can also look for edible goods on Etsy or somewhere like it that can ship overnight.

Money or a gift card. When one friend’s (who lives in Wisconsin and I live in Maryland) father passed, her family had a lot of specific nutrition needs so instead of ordering for her as I normally would, I venmoed her. The family ate, and I helped.

As a Jewish person, I also recommend seeing if there is a Jewish deli in the area that offers shiva platters. They are pros at feeding people in crisis, and can help talk you through it.

FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.
