The highlight of my school year is being able to tell the 8th graders the story of Charles summer’s caning and how locked in and silent they are. They get INVESTED. Then you mention how much blood there was and how he ripped the desk out of the floor and they just LOCK ALL THE WAY IN. Nothing else exists around them.

Sumnertime Fashion inspired by @teddybearparker‘s post

True Fact: Charles Sumner was a dog magnet. Whenever he sat down outside for a long period of time, dogs from all over would crowd around him. These were dogs that didn’t even belong to people who lived in the house of the porch he was sitting on. Then, if he was in the countryside, dogs would just be at his heels. 

Dogs: “IT IS A HUMAN! HE IS BIG AND TALL! I LOVE THIS HUMAN!”

Listen, the US government shutdown was awful and embarrassing and here's to hoping it never happens again. But silver lining, I'm like 78% sure it created the Charles Sumner fandom on Tumblr.
