Any story which refers to Haiti as an impoverished nation, which is all of them, should also mention that when Haitians won their independence from France, French gunships showed up and demanded they pay something like 22 billion dollars in today’s money to compensate France for the stolen land and enslaved people they could no longer exploit

It took Haiti over a hundred years to pay that ransom and it’s difficult to explain just how badly that fucked up their entire development, especially since France also demanded a 50% discount on everything they bought from Haiti just to make it harder. Like! No wonder they’re impoverished!

Anyway if France would like to assist Haiti in its current difficulties they could always pay back the fucking money they extorted

hello all.. so sorry to bother you on this sunday but i’m in a bit of a pickle, as it were. my mom’s car has been damaged and as she currently unemployed due to her health, i’m footing the bill. (actually, my sister busted her tire and rim bc she’s a hot fucking mess and also unemployed and deeply unreliable and blew all her money on weed). between the tire, rim, and repair costs i’m looking at about a $500 tag on top of the rent i pay virtually by myself anyways. (and yes they all live with me, so like thats great). 

if anyone’s willing to help, i’d be more than grateful.

Coworker: nice day out huh?

Me, who watched a 2hr documentary about the Hindenburg disaster the night before and is desperately trying to share the information i learned: yeah, a real nice day, not at all like May 6, 1937 in Germany.

GREEN DAY vs. homophobia in the early 90’s

Happy Pride Month!

Reminder that Billie Joe Armstrong publicly came out as bisexual in 1995!

“I think I’ve always been bisexual. […] It’s ingrained in our heads that it’s bad, when it’s not bad at all. It’s a very beautiful thing.”

And that Green Day used their platform to bring openly gay punk band Pansy Division on tour with them in 1994!

So I've taken the plunge and started watching The Terror, because I kept dreaming about talking to Edward Little despite having only ever seen gifs of him on this hellsite. And listen, he's cute, but Harry fucking Goodsir deserves every nice thing in this world and that's that on that.

New discoveries from HMS Erebus

EPAULETTES – This pair of epaulettes was discovered in its box, within what is believed to be the 3rd Lieutenant’s Cabin, on the lower deck. The solid upper part of each epaulette, called the bonnet, is made of twisted gold plated silver wires over sheet metal. Fringe-like gold bullions are attached to the sides. Epaulettes were part of a British Royal Navy officer’s dress uniform, worn over the shoulders of a coat so that the fringe-like bullions dangle downwards. These epaulettes are specific to the rank of lieutenant. These epaulettes may have been those of 3rd Lieutenant James Walter Fairholme of HMS Erebus.
