reblog if you love ao3 exactly how it is and you don’t want it to “update” or change in any way♡

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

ao3 is not changing anything by the way! some people just want them to change for some reason. my guess is that these people just don't understand how the site works and refuse to actually learn how it works, so they blame the site because it's easier for them that way.

like i quite literally have never been more passionate about anything than i am about the human race’s invariable desire to tell stories and the fact that we always find a way to do it, through spoken language and written language and body language and visual art and theater and poetry and oral tradition and a million other things. there are so many things we take for granted about the human experience that we never stop to think about but i really want you to take a step back and consider how fucking amazing it is that our need to tell stories transcends all boundaries of time and geography and borders and language. it is one of very few things that is legitimately intrinsic to human nature and i will never stop being completely in awe of humanity for that.

And when its time to discuss pedophilia in ancient greece and rome, they always name pederasty. Pederasty pederasty pederasty. And its not as if the normalization of teen boys sleeping with grown men is not horrific and disgusting, but i have to notice how they always focus on the male children, as if it wasn't standard for fifteen year old girls to get married to men twice their age, as if child sex abuse is horrifying only if it happens to the boys, because to the girls it is normal, guaranteed, its their role, times were different back then

“Historical hear me out” and I nine times out of ten it’s either the Duke of Wellington, Napoleon, Simón Bolivar. That’s not a hear me out, that’s common knowledge, show us something rare!

James Buchanan.

I think he’s super attractive in an older male type of way.

Had to ban the phrase “tricky dick” from my classroom during watergate lesson because saying the word dick in front of 30 fifteen year olds is like lighting a bomb and throwing it through the doorway but now they’re just calling him Richard the Treacherous like they’re all medieval peasants. gonna lose it

The Baron and du Ponceau

Baron von Steuben arrived at Valley Forge on February 23, 1778 along with his aides, including the young Pierre-Étienne du Ponceau, who was part of the fun translation train for Baron von Steuben's drills.

[presidentialconfessions]

very unfortunate that james buchanan had to become president and proceed to fuck up the country when he could’ve just been gay with his bf

[baron-von-steuben]

You probably already knew that Du Ponceau had correspondence with Jefferson, Monroe, and Madison. But today I found a letter James Buchanan wrote to him about his history of silk stuff. Here it is.

[Transcription: Washington 10 February 1830. Dear sir, I have received your valuable letter to Mr. Spencer of New York. The chairman of the committee on agriculture; believing that to be the best disposition which could be made of it. That gentleman justly appreciates the services which you have rendered to the country, by the information which you have obtained & communicated to the public, in relation to the preparation of raw silk. He intends to address you a letter upon the subject, & will be happy to receive any additional information which you may be pleased to communicate.

Accept my thanks for the pamphlet which you did me the honor of sending me & believe me to be respectfully yours

James Buchanan.

Peter. S. Du Ponceau Esq"

[grumpygurrrl]

I research Jimmy Old Buck Buchanan and I feel your pain. I love him but his handwriting is a pain in the ass to read.

Nevertheless this is really cool! Thank you for sharing!!

repeat after me. humans are not inherently evil humans are not like a virus on this earth humans do not “deserve” to go extinct or anything like that. we are living breathing animals that deserve space just like every other creature on this planet. there’s just a tiny amount of us that have a fuck ton of money and power and they really suck
