In the heat of battle, photographer Horace Bristol captured one of the most unique and erotic photos of WWII.

Bristol photographed a young crewman of a US Navy “Dumbo” PBY rescue mission, manning his gun after having stripped naked and jumped into the water of Rabaul Harbor to rescue a badly burned Marine pilot. The Marine was shot down while bombing the Japanese-held fortress of Rabaul.

“…we got a call to pick up an airman who was down in the Bay. The Japanese were shooting at him from the island, and when they saw us they started shooting at us. The man who was shot down was temporarily blinded, so one of our crew stripped off his clothes and jumped in to bring him aboard. He couldn’t have swum very well wearing his boots and clothes. As soon as we could, we took off. We weren’t waiting around for anybody to put on formal clothes. We were being shot at and wanted to get the hell out of there. The naked man got back into his position at his gun in the blister of the plane.”

“And well, there was his butt, and I had a camera. I mean I AM a historian.”

[orbisonblue]

That is the BEST EVER quote about the nature of historians I’ve ever seen

fun fact about american history: george washington was apparently so sexy that when he was 17 he went swimming a river and some girl that had a crush on him stole his clothes and watched as he walked around naked looking for them

[writterings]

aaron burr, the guy who shot alexander hamilton and also the second vice president of the united states, tried to start an empire out in texas

[writterings]

marquis de lafayette literally had to sneak out of france to come aid america and while some versions of the story claim that he disguised himself as a commoner, other versions say he dressed up like a woman

[writterings]

literally all the founding fathers had daddy issues, specifically alexander hamilton who refused to even befriend george washington initially because he didn’t want to grow close to someone who had the potential to become a father like figure to him

[writterings]

thomas jeffereson kept a bust of alexander hamilton in his house at monticello for no reason other than the fact that hamilton was his sworn enemy and he felt as though he needed a very expensive bust of his sworn enemy in his house

[pinkbat99]

I love all of this please keep going.

[writterings]

they didn’t let hamilton try this one course of study at king’s college because it was so intense that it made one student literally get sick and have to go home for months on end and that student was james madison

[torchlake]

george washington made a rule banning snacks during cabinet meetings because thomas jefferson would always eat mac n cheese which wasn’t big in the us at the time and all the other founding fathers thought it was disgusting

[peggycatrerr]

aaron burr once set himself on fire because he attempted to light a candle by shooting it because he was too tired to get an actual match and his gun was nearby

So i went on a date to a haunted house and made friends with the girls behind us. As we’re going through, one of them is holding my hand and a guy leaps out and separates us. I panic as my date is pulling me along, I reach back for her and grab her hand in a group of three other performers and start getting out if there. After a bit I look back to check on her and I discover I’m holding the hand of a six foot tall zombie creature and not a 5'2" girl.

Cue the most terrifying realization of my life.

I had basically kidnapped this performer from his section and abandoned the girl and her friend behind us.

[ruby-white-rabbit]

Yes, I screamed. My date thought it was Hilarious.

Yes, we found the girls. Turns out when I grabbed the performers hand, he grabbed theirs so our group wouldn’t be separated. So there was just this zombie in the middle of our group line for like fifty feet

[kyuubinu-deactivated20190226]

This is like a Scooby Doo bit I love it

[mens-rights-activia]

Me: I’m having such a hard time, can y’all please go easy on me?

According to this meme I made in 2016, 2018 is the last year in a barrage of terrible years. In 2019, the suffering will end and good things will come to us once again

[albearrawr]

Reblog for a good 2019, because goddamnit we all need it.

not to keep sounding like a Killmonger apologist but like… if T’Challa hadn’t killed him?? this would be such a great time to have a conveniently murderous cousin in the palace basement. “look alive and suit up, asshole. you’ve got anger issues and we’ve got approximately 7000 aliens in the backyard. get to work.” [Okoye yeets Killmonger out a window into the middle of the fight]

there’s this guy on twitter who floods the timelines of women who are getting rape threats from the alt-right with pictures of his very cute dog tucker

he calls it the ‘daily tucker service’ & ppl who are looking to drown out hate in their timelines can subscribe to it.

I just thought that you should know, in case you were losing faith in humanity.

every writing tip article and their mother: dont ever use adverbs ever!

me, shoveling more adverbs onto the page because i do what i want: just you fucking try and stop me

[quarter0master]

May I add something, because I will never shut up about this book (Writing Tools by Roy Peter Clark):

[captainsnoop-deactivated2020041]

its wild to me that there are people out there who can actually complain about getting bad service. like, did you know if your package is late on amazon prime and you contact customer service they’ll give you a free month of Prime and a five dollar credit? ANY time that one of your packages is late? because I sure as fuck didn’t! I never thought to complain! an amazon employee could come in my house and beat me with a hammer and i’d just sit there and be like “its ok, it’s like this sometimes, i understand. the holidays can be stressful. i get it.” 

[jumpingjacktrash]

did you know it’s possible to complain about service errors without being angry? you can even be friendly and nice about it!

“hey, so i think i got someone else’s chicken fingers, i ordered the quesadilla. oh, the cook misread the order and has to remake it? ok, i dig, i’ll wait. you’re offering me free breadsticks while i wait? sounds good, thanks!”

DO speak up, DO be specific about the problem, DON’T be blamey or sarcastic or snippy. DO realize it may take time to fix the problem, DON’T turn down extra goods/services they offer to make it up to you.

mistakes happen. businesses have a procedure for fixing mistakes. apology items are part of that procedure; if you turn them down, it doesn’t look like you’re not mad, it looks like you’re too mad to accept their apology but too confrontation-shy to say so. i promise that when you accept the free breadsticks your server heaves a secret sigh of relief.

[netbug009]

Look, I’ll be level with you. Maybe I should be the better person, but sometimes when someone comes up to me at work and acts like a jerk/cusses me out I will do the absolute BARE MINIMUM to try and solve their problem. When they’re nice about it? I will move HEAVEN AND EARTH to make sure they leave that store satisfied. I know from reading other people’s stuff about working in retail that I’m not the only one with this attitude. Be nice to service workers and not only will you not be a buttmunch but things will probably go better for you.
