A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. — U.S. Constitution Second Amendment
The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age... — 10 U.S. Code § 246
Patrick Henry
* “Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.”
George Mason
* “To disarm the people…[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them.”
James Madison
* “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.”
* “The ultimate authority, wherever the derivative may be found, resides in the people alone.”
Noah Webster
* “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.”
Samuel Adams
* “The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”
Richard Henry Lee
* “A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… “To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.”
Thomas Jefferson
* “I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.”
* “What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms.”
* “The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
* “The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.”
**********************************
No emergency justifies the violation of any of the provisions of the United States Constitution.
----------------------------------------------
Ex parte Milligan, 71 U.S. 2 (1866) which yet stands to this day: "The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times, and under all circumstances. No doctrine, involving more pernicious consequences, was ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government. Such a doctrine leads directly to anarchy or despotism..."
----------------------------------------------
Volume 16, American Jurisprudence 2d, § 52: “It is sometimes argued that the existence of an emergency allows the existence and operation of powers, national or state, which violate the inhibitions of the Federal Constitution. The rule is quite otherwise.
No emergency justifies the violation of any of the provisions of the United States Constitution. An emergency, however, while it cannot create power, increase granted power, or remove or diminish the restrictions imposed upon power granted or reserved, may furnish the occasion for the exercise of power already in existence, but not exercised except during an emergency... The Constitution of the United States is the law for rulers and people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times, and under all circumstances”
----------------------------------------------
Volume 16, American Jurisprudence 2d, § 177: "The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statue, to be valid, must be in agreement.
It is impossible for both the Constitution and a law violating it to be valid; one must prevail. This is succinctly stated as follows: The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment, and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it.
An unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed. Such a statute leaves the question that it purports to settle just as it would be had the statute not been enacted.
Since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principals follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it... A void act cannot be legally consistent with a valid one. An unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede any existing valid law. Indeed, insofar as a statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the land, it superseded thereby. No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it."
----------------------------------------------
“All laws, rules and practices which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void ...if any statement within any law which is passed is unconstitutional, the whole law is unconstitutional.” Marbury v. Madison, 5th U.S. 2 Cranch 137, 180.
----------------------------------------------
"Even a state of war and the declaration of secession by the people cannot suspend the Constitution or remove its protection." Houston County v Martin, 232 Ala 511, 169 So. 13.

Okay so there was no time skip and they intentionally lied to the MDR innies about how much time it’s been, Milchick should get more than Thomas Jefferson miku binder fanart of Kier because he did so much in a span of a week at most, we all agree on this.
What I WILL say is that Claymation Lumon short would have taken wayyyy more time to produce than just a week (I do stop-motion irl so you can trust me on that) - so my very serious and totally not funny contribution to the theories about the floor below the exports hall definitely has an Animation department made up of people like Ms. Casey that don’t get to leave and just did animation for that short 24/7… because it would have been impossible otherwise. Hurray to Milchick for getting all this going and doing so much of course, but holy shit free those animators for crying out loud!!!! The pixel animations of Kier and Irving too, sure they must have a basic layout they can adapt and reuse for bereavements or something but oh my god AND they aren’t getting paid a dime,,,, at least Milchick is
So the natural solution to this is of course saving Gemma/Ms. Casey but also the crew of animators down there - preferably with a radicalized Milchick helping the MDR along
Ps: read tags for more
#severance#severance spoilers#severance season 2#seth milchick#lumon industries#ms. casey#gemma casey#gemma scout#mdr#macrodata refinement#lumon is listening#irving b#kier eagan#no but fr this post is funny ahah but I would love it if they explained how that claymation animation got made in under a week#making puppets planning storyboards recording voice lines for narration and everything else they didn’t take from the innies#was it 24 frames per sec??? just 12???? either way it’s insane once you consider that even with it being a short with a few minutes or so#that still takes so much time??????#I’m insane over this I wont be able to sleep thinking of Lumon unpaid animators stuck below the export halls ready to make propaganda#without them having any other choice. literal hell for any animator

High and Dry | ch. 1
t. jefferson x reader
Warnings: swearing, chronic overuse of italics
Wc: 3.2k
When starting your fourth year of teaching at a new high school, you come face to face with your old friend-turned-enemy: Thomas Jefferson. To make it worse, he’s the other English teacher you’re supposed to work with the whole year.
A/N: the rewritten version of High and Dry And this time I actually have a plan and thought out characters!!! Enjoy lovelies 💕
There’s a certain feeling that comes with a new school year.
Especially when starting your first year as the newest English One teacher to grace Hudson High School. Those distinct, back-to-school jitters that come with the anticipation of a new year were hitting you.
Students shop for new clothes, new notebooks, new backpacks, everything new. Teachers and administrators prepare classrooms, getting everything set up to welcome the newest generation of Freshmen, as well as new staff.
You were one of those newbies. And god, what a feeling of not knowing anyone and having to spend every day here. There’s a thrill that comes with it, something words couldn’t explain.
When you interviewed for the position, George Washington intimidated the fuck out of you. Upon talking to him, he turned out to be a genuine, humble man, but scarily confident. He was the first face you happened to bump into upon entering the school for the first required day over the summer. There were three days before school officially started, and you procrastinated getting your classroom set up and introducing yourself to coworkers.
Next to Washington stood a smaller man. One that had a feistier look to him. There was a stark contrast between the two; Washington was nearly a foot taller than the younger guy, and held himself so calmly while the other was borderline ADHD.
“Ah, Miss L/n. We were just talking about you,” Principal Washington smiled, shaking your hand. He turned to the other man, “this is the new freshman English teacher.”
The young teacher’s eyes lit up, and he grinned widely, sticking his hand out for you to shake. “Alexander Hamilton. Pleasure to meet you,” he introduced.
You nodded, smiling out of politeness and shaking his hand. “Nice to meet you. Would you happen to know which way the G hallway is?”
“I’ll show you. I’m in the same hallway, y’know, with it being the English hall obviously,” he chuckled, ushering you to follow him. You gave Washington a nod in acknowledgment before embarking on the journey to the English Hall.
“Are you the other English one teacher?” You asked, falling into step with the man.
He let out a loud, bitter laugh. “God, no. I teach English four.” He led you upstairs. “The other freshman English is way worse than I.”
You furrowed your eyebrows. He seemed to have noticed the falter in your steps, because he backtracked to reassure you.
“I’m sorry, that came off a little strong. I’ve had some minor…quarrels with Jefferson in the past. But don’t let that scare you, I’m sure you’ll get along fine.” He waved his hands around, then quietly added on, “If you like arrogant, intransigent assholes.”
Jefferson. That name struck so many bad memories. A chill ran up your spine, and you had to reassure yourself that Jefferson was a common last name. Besides, the one you had known was in France last time you checked.
“You describe him so nicely. I’m looking forward to working with Mr. Jefferson,” you smiled, voice laced with sarcasm. Hamilton laughed, sending an amused grin your way.
“You’ll be okay. It’s only me he truly fights with.” Hamilton shrugged. “Enough about me. Tell me about yourself, Miss L/n.”
You shook your head, a smile tugging at your lips. “You can just call me Y/n. And here I was, thinking I was saved from small talk.”
“If you’d prefer to talk about my hatred for your new coworker, or rather listen to me talk about it, it’s always on the table,” he offered. Something about it was so lighthearted. He was really easy to be around, to talk to. “No, but seriously. What got you into teaching?”
“Well, teaching just kind of clicked with me. I subbed once during college, and I loved the atmosphere. I love the idea of helping people grow into who they’re meant to be, giving every student a chance at success. Granted, some of the kids are frustrating, but when handled correctly, they aren’t bad at all. You just have to understand where they come from.” You explained, examining the postures of books strung up on the wall.
You must’ve made it to the English hallway, because where else would there be a giant quote from The Outsiders painted on the wall?
“I understand that completely. It’s so rewarding, watching the younger generations find their passions. Getting to play a part in every individual’s success,” he grinned, showing you to the doorway of a soulless room. “Here we are. Home sweet home.”
You flicked the lights on, scanning the bare white walls. It looked like an asylum, and hell, it felt like one too.
“It looks like Jefferson isn’t here right now,” Alex said, poking his head into the room next door. “You got lucky. For now.”
You chuckled, peeking into Jefferson’s room. The lights were on, so he was around somewhere, but there was no way of knowing where. He had a cozy little setup. Lights were strung on the ceiling, there were multiple posters littered around the room referencing pop culture, a bookshelf was stashed in the corner, and his desk was home to trinkets and useless objects. On the wall next to his desk, there were pages, drawings, and letters from past students thanking him for being such a good teacher. That gave you some hope. Maybe Alexander Hamilton was dramatic, maybe Jefferson wouldn’t be so bad.
“Anyway, I’ll let you get set up. My room is just down the hall, G224, if you ever need anything.” He said, and with that, he disappeared.
—
After making about a million trips to your car and back, bringing in all the decorations, books, and supplies you needed, you could finally start setting up your classroom.
Normally, you would’ve complained about having to make so many trips, but it allowed you to navigate the layout of the place. Hudson High was by far the largest school you’ve ever worked at. And with no connections to it or anyone else, it was a fresh start, a clean slate to make good memories. On your final trip, you glanced into Jefferson’s room again to catch a glimpse of the man you would be spending the rest of the school year with, but he wasn’t there.
You could, however, outdo him in his decorating skills.
It wasn’t like you wanted to make him look bad or anything, you just wanted to show out. Make your presence known, and in the process build the best English classroom anyone has ever seen.
An hour-and-a-half of uninterrupted work was all it took for it to be fully set up. You had fairy lights and warm lamps to replace the fluorescent school lighting, a beanbag in the corner, a bookshelf twice the size of his, organized by color because it was prettier that way (despite all the hate you get for it), and succulents on the windowsill. All that was left was your desk.
Before you could begin, the distinct chime of the announcements rang, disrupting your flow.
“All staff please report to the library for a mandatory opening meeting.”
Groaning, you wiped the sweat beading on your forehead, and trekked to the library. Since you hadn’t been anywhere else in this school other than your classroom, you followed behind other staff members for guidance.
When you arrived, Hamilton called your name, waving you over. You grinned and joined him in the back. He was already sitting with a few other people—two having their hair tied into a man bun, and one wearing a blue beanie.
“Who is this belle femme?” A French accent spoke, the man leaning forward on his hands.
“This is Y/n L/n,” Alex introduced you to the group. You gave a shy smile and waved. “Y/n, this is John Laurens, Hercules Mulligan, and—“
“I am Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette,” the same Frenchman took your hand, planting a charming kiss on it. “But you may call me Lafayette.”
You raised a surprised eyebrow, not at all impressed by his attempt at flattery. The idea of France spiked feelings you didn’t want to think about. Mostly related to your oh-so-fun high school experience, or lack thereof.
“Or call him Marie like we all do,” Mulligan laughed, shoving Lafayette's shoulder. Lafayette—or Marie?—shot him a glare, grumbling something under his breath.
“Ignore him,” Alex snorted, rolling his eyes. “He just got broken up with again, even though we all know they’ll be back together within a week.”
“‘Ey! She said it was serious this time,” Lafayette pouted.
“Sure,” Alex turned to you, lowering his voice, “she said the same thing last time. Don’t be fooled.”
You giggled, eyes lighting up in amusement at the antics of the table. You haven’t been around friends this close in a long, long time. It was almost uncomfortable; you didn’t know what to do, where to put your hands, or if you should speak more. Being a pretty quiet person by nature, it wasn't hard for you to stay quiet and observe. Your eyes shifted to the only person who hadn’t spoken yet—Laurens.
He was sitting closest to Hamilton, slumped in his seat so their shoulders were nearly touching.
“How’s the classroom coming along?” Alex asked, breaking you from your thoughts.
Sitting up straighter, you forced a smile, “pretty good. Haven’t met this Jefferson character yet, so I’m a little anxious.”
“Wait, she hasn’t met Jefferson?” Laurens spoke, eyebrows raised high as he glanced from you to Alexander.
“He wasn’t there when I showed her to her room,” he shrugged. “Guess he hasn’t been around yet.”
A wild, almost sarcastic smirk formed on John’s face. “Well, you’re in for a treat.”
“Oh, c’mon guys, he is not ‘zat bad,” Lafayette jumped in.
“You only say that because he speaks French, too,” Hercules scoffed.
Laf frowned. “Not true. He’s a great friend if you just give ‘im a chance. Hamilton and John speak French, too, but I’m not friends with them just for ‘zat.”
At this point, you didn’t know who to believe. Everyone had told you one thing, then Lafayette entered and now he was telling you another. So was Jefferson an asshole or not? They bickered back and forth on the subject, and at some point it turned into an argument about unrelated topics. You absorbed the conversation, trying to get a feel for what having a normal friend group could be like, envisioning yourself having this kind of dynamic with them. As long as you don’t fuck it up somehow, maybe they’ll accept you as their own.
Alex and John seemed used to it, as they started asking you questions about yourself. Where are you from, where did you used to teach, how are you liking Hudson so far, how’s your relationship with your mom…the works. Well, they didn’t ask the last one.
“You’re much better than Lee,” John commented. “He was a pain.”
“Lee?” You questioned.
“Oh, yeah. He was the English teacher before you, but he quit after a…debate.” He grinned, clearly proud about something. You furrowed your eyebrows, cocking your head to the side in confusion.
“He got into a fight with him because he was denouncing Washington’s name,” Alex chimed in. You couldn’t control the slight widening of your eyes. He had a physical altercation with someone over some words?
“Men never fail to surprise me…” you muttered.
“In my defense, we gave him multiple warnings. But he didn’t listen. And look where that got him?”
“A new job at a different school, I suppose,” Alex smirked, “and a trip to the hospital.”
They shared a laugh, and you couldn’t help the sick twisting of your stomach. Were they seriously bragging about putting a man in the hospital? That should’ve been the first red flag. They sensed your discomfort, calming down and putting a reassuring hand on your shoulder. You tensed at his touch.
“Relax. He was okay. He also started it, too, if that says anything.” Alex said, voice softer than before.
“I promise I won’t fight you,” Laurens joked half-heartedly. A smile cracked on your face, relaxing your shoulders.
“How did you not get fired?” You asked. Hamilton's hand fell back to his lap.
John shrugged. “I got really close to it. Hamilton here is particularly close with Washington, and has a way with words. He vouched for my innocence.”
You hummed, watching Alex flash a toothy, prideful grin. “Good to know.”
“If I could have everyone’s attention, please!” Washington’s voice boomed over the light chatter of the library, effectively silencing everyone. You straightened in your chair and faced forward, glancing from him to the backs of people's heads.
“First and foremost, welcome back everyone! And welcome new teachers. I hope everyone had a great summer break, and this new year is going to be very promising for all. Now, for a brief overview of school policy—“ you only halfway listened from there. All he talked about was basic laws and regulations teachers are required to take, as well as mentioning drills that would be practiced during the first couple months.
Your eyes scanned the crowd of educators. A head of thick, dark curly hair caught your eye. Somewhere at the front, a man wearing a magenta polo sat, his broad shoulders and arms filling out the shirt nicely. You leaned forward in interest, heart fluttering when he turned and you caught a snippet of his nose, as well as a stubble. ‘Please let him be Jefferson. And please let him be hot.’
As quick as the meeting started, it was over. The whole time, your eyes were trained on the man in the magenta polo, silently praying he was the Jefferson you would have to work with all year.
Hamilton nudged you, signaling it was over. You stood and followed the group out, searching for the magenta-polo guy, but he was already gone. Hamilton suggested that you see where the other guys’ classrooms were, so if you needed anything, you knew where to go. It would’ve been rude to say no, so you didn’t protest, and followed them blindly around the premise.
Lafayette was the French teacher and coached track, so he was downstairs in the foreign language hallway. His room was very colorful, very him.
Mulligan was the art teacher and boys’ wrestling coach. Out of everything you expected him to teach, art was not it. Wrestling fit him, but imagining him painting was a curveball.
Laurens taught U.S. government and coached football. His room was filled with posters of both famous football players and different political systems. Having Tom Brady and facism on the same wall was wild, but hey, if that’s what he’s into.
After touring (some) of the campus, Hamilton walked back to the hallway you were beginning to familiarize yourself with, and offered a glimpse into his class.
And wow, he outdid himself.
“Jesus—how long did it take for you to put all this up?” You asked, staring at the tapestries and rows of books that he had. He stood, pride swelling in his chest as he watched you examine the room in awe.
“A while. Don’t worry about it,” he winked. “You’ll get to my level one day.”
You scoffed, shooting him a playful glare. “Okay, I get it. You win the best Pinterest room award; congratulations.”
“Why, thank you,” he bowed dramatically. A grin spread on both your faces, and your heart was giddy with the excitement that comes with making a new friend. Let him last, please.
“I have to finish setting up my desk. But thank you for introducing me to your friends. They were very…”
“Obnoxious?” He interjected. You shook your head, a fondness evident in your voice when you spoke.
“Endearing. I like them,” you finished.
There was a pause in the conversation, and his eyes lingered on you. “I’m glad they didn’t scare you off. You’re always welcome to hang out with us, by the way.”
“Thank you,” you took some steps towards the door—which had a large poster that read ‘BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU’ as well as a pair of eyes drawn to stare into your soul. Ah, the genius that is 1984. “I have to finish setting up my desk. I’ll see you around?”
“See you around.” He confirmed.
On the short walk to your own cell, you stopped to peek into Jefferson’s room, expecting him not to be in there. But surprise surprise! The man, the myth, the legend you’ve heard so many negative things about was in there, hunched over and writing something down.
And to make it better, it was magenta-polo guy.
Your heart fluttered in excitement, and you stepped in. “You must be the infamous Jefferson I’ve heard so much about.”
“That would be me,” he spoke. Even his voice was hot. It was mature, husky, and—familiar. Way too familiar.
He looked up, and your smile instantly dropped. Stomach dropped. Face paled. Time stopped. Everything seemed to have frozen in place, including him, because he stood there, eyes wide with recognition.
“Thomas?” You seethed, taking a defensive step back.
He was seriously who you were ogling? The man who destroyed every friendship you had in high school, the man who broke every ounce of trust you held for him?
“Y/n.” His face twisted to a sour frown. You hated the way your name fell so naturally from his tongue.
“I thought you were in France.” A deep scowl spread overtook your face. He seemed to have reciprocated the same bitter expression.
“I was. Then I came back,” he growled. “I didn’t think I’d ever see you again.”
“Believe me, I’m not exactly thrilled about this either.” You barked out a bitter laugh. He scoffed, shifting his weight so he was crossing his arms.
“Don’t be childish. We can move on from the past, y’know.”
“After you ruined my social life? No thanks,” you retorted. He let out an exhausted groan, dragging a hand over his face.
“We both know there’s more to it than that.” He walked around from behind his desk, taking some steps towards you.
“What? I was ‘jealous’ of you? Is that it?” You snapped, narrowing your eyes. All the rage you built up was manifesting in this very moment. Everything you’ve ever wanted to say to him, you could. Tell him how he was a shitty friend for leaving you, for hurting you the way he did.
“Because you ruined my chance at a scholarship!” He hissed.
“I didn’t ruin shit! You act like I sabotaged your entire fucking career! It was junior year, for crying out loud!” You threw your hands up, pacing around his classroom.
He inhaled sharply, clenching his jaw. The way his demeanor changed from rash and sharp to ice cold horrified you, stopping you dead in your tracks. Thomas took a small, but powerful step closer, causing you to shift back one in response.
“Y/n,” he started, staring down at you with so much calmed rage that you almost started trembling. “Let’s end this conversation here. You can see yourself out.”
Wordlessly, your nostrils flared and you stepped out of his classroom. He shut the door behind you. Disbelief, rage, hatred, resentment coursed through your veins. Thomas Jefferson, the man who abandoned you during a dark time, the man who borderline bullied you during your lowest point, and the man you once considered your ride or die was supposed to be the man you had to work with the rest of the year.
So much for a fresh start.

With your time in the fandom, what are some of your favorite fanclones you've seen? :0
The first ones that popped into my head were Chris DeRoses. There’s so many to choose from Now THERE’S someone who should have worked on the reboot. SISKEL AND EBERT!!


But I promise I also like artists who don’t draw dead-accurate to the show! @ort-smort @wav3y-zzz and @qariwar all have unique and delicious twists on the Clone High look:



lmao his name is latin for toilet
My general preference is for fan clones that are made to be funny but I’ll never stand in the way of you giving Thomas Jefferson neopronouns and playing with him like a barbie doll. What’s that dead bitch gonna do about it?

YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD THIS: THOSE WHO DO NOT LEARN THEIR HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT.
BUT HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT THIS WAY? DON'T LET THEM LIE TO YOU.
PROTESTING ISN'T JUST YOUR RIGHT AS AN AMERICAN - IT'S YOUR LEGACY. IT'S HOW EVERY SINGLE RIGHT YOU HAVE WAS WON.
THIS IS LONG BUT YOU SHOULD READ IT.
Ya'll are out here talking about throwing Teslas in the harbor without understanding why we threw all that fucking tea in there to begin with. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. Does that mean nothing to you anymore?
LOOK AT THE RECEIPTS:
Boston Tea Party (1773) - Sparked the American Revolution and established right to resist unjust government
Women's Suffrage Parade (1913) - Won women's right to vote in 1920
The March on Washington (1963) - Led to Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965
Stonewall Riots (1969) - Started by Marsha P. Johnson, a Black trans woman throwing the first brick at police - launched LGBTQ+ rights movement, led to first Pride marches and gay rights organizations
The Occupation of Alcatraz (1969-71) - 89 people forced recognition of Native treaty rights and sparked Native American civil rights movement
March For Our Lives (2018) - Led to gun safety legislation in multiple states, changed national conversation on gun violence
PROTEST ISN'T JUST MARCHING IN STREETS:
It's art that makes people uncomfortable - Nina Simone's "Mississippi Goddam" did more for civil rights than any polite request
It's music that wakes people up - When Billie Holiday sang "Strange Fruit," she made America face its lynching horror
It's visual art that exposes truth - ACT UP's protest art forced America to see the AIDS crisis
It's writing that changes minds - Underground newspapers, pamphlets, manifestos
It's performance that disrupts - Guerrilla theater, die-ins, creative actions
It's documentation - Recording injustice, preserving movement history
It's education - Teaching real history, sharing tactics
It's cultural resistance - Creating alternative spaces and institutions
It's economic pressure - Boycotts, strikes, union organizing
It's legislative action - Calling reps, attending meetings
It's digital organizing - Coordinating actions online
It's DECOLONIZING YOUR BODY AND MIND
It's healing trauma so you can fight better
It's building community when they want you isolated
It's REFUSING TO SHUT UP when they want you quiet
HEY STRAIGHT CIS WHITE PEOPLE (ESPECIALLY MEN) - WAKE THE FUCK UP: You think your rights as a worker aren't next? Think about it - they're coming for minorities first but you're just as disposable to them. You think missing a day of work to protest is scary and inconvenient? Wait till they reinstate the draft.
Even fucking THOMAS JEFFERSON - that slave-owning racist piece of shit - understood that the government always needs watching. 'I prefer dangerous liberty to quiet servitude.' When even the architect of oppression knows people need the power to resist, what's your fucking excuse? He knew EXACTLY how this shit works:
Look at these capitalist cycles:
Create a crisis - Housing crash of 2008, current rent crisis, medical debt crisis
Make people desperate - Minimum wage stuck at $7.25, union-busting, student loan trap
Take away rights - Gutting voting rights, ending Roe, attacking trans healthcare
Blame minorities - "They're taking your jobs" "They're grooming kids" "They're ruining the country"
Rinse and fucking repeat until we're all too exhausted to resist
You think being gay not being classified as a mental illness just HAPPENED? That took until 1973. You think gay marriage being legal just HAPPENED? That was 2015 - a fucking DECADE ago. Rights aren't given - they're FOUGHT FOR. Every. Single. Day.
And look what's happening now:
They overturned Roe v Wade in 2022 after 50 years of precedent
They've banned trans healthcare in over 20 states
They've banned LGBTQ education in Florida, Texas, and beyond
They're trying to overturn birthright citizenship
Workers' rights are next
And you're worried about missing ONE shift?
KNOW YOUR FUCKING RIGHTS: https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights#:~:text=The%20First%20Amendment%20protects%20your,the%20exercise%20of%20speech%20rights.
THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THEM:
89 people held Alcatraz
A few drag queens started Pride
Small groups of workers won your weekend
Teenagers who survived a shooting showed more courage than all you "can't miss work" cowards
IT DOESN'T TAKE EVERYONE - IT JUST TAKES ENOUGH
You think America stayed a democracy this long because everyone showed up to their 9-5 like good little worker bees? FUCK NO. It's because people fought back. They organized. They resisted.
WAKE UP. GET ORGANIZED. QUIT PARTICIPATING IN YOUR OWN DISENFRANCHISEMENT.
Your silence is compliance. If you think things are fine, you’re one of the people who need to get out there for those who are fighting for their basic human rights.
THEY WANT YOU:
Afraid of missing work
Isolated from your community
Living paycheck to paycheck
Too exhausted to fight back
Thinking protest never works
Blaming women and minorities instead of billionaires
PROVE THEM WRONG. EVERYONE HAS A PART IN THE RESISTANCE.

Another Ramble shitpost
I think at its core, a lot of people have varying different takes of a character or ship that they prefer. There's literally no wrong takes or answers because everything's subjective and the point of a fandom or a fanon is that fans are fixated/ interested in a story/character/ship enough that they are invested to talk/write/draw about it.
With that said, here's more ramble shitpost for the Hamilton fandom. As a reader, I am amenable to read multiple ships given that I have enough interest in the story/plot. My go to trope is evidently enemies to lovers; Hence forth to why I'm rambling here about the different type of dynamic that exists within that trope itself.

I think the LAMS or Hamilton x Laurens ship is kinda clear cut example of best friends to lovers. I'll be brutally honest and say that it's endearing and I think it makes a lovely love story.
To fall in love with a bestfriend, one who knows your mind, who can probabyly finish your sentence mis-speak and is always defending you would be a spectatcular emotion.
For me, enemies to lovers resonate deeper with my psyche because it's the notion of having a person who's seen your worst qualities and still being able to love you as well as bring out a spark/light that you've never had with anyone else seems more exciting.
In enemies to lovers trope, there's also different a=elements to bring forward like whether it's enemies at first sight, or academic/peer rival, or friends/ally turned enemy or even enemy due to generational conflict.
So here, I feel like there's a dilemma (in terms of my personal preference) between Jamilton or Hamburr.
I've read quite a lot of fics on these two ships (and also some threesomes fic lol)
And i kinda remember seeing this tiktok vid where this guy explained the entirety of the naruto x (any gloomy character ship) is basically the same formula of cheerful sunshine x gloomy guy with trauma, only the spectrum of how much trauma the gloomy one has differs.
Like Naruto x Sasuke, Naruto x Neji and Naruto x Gaara. Though, as someone who thoroughly followed the Naruto fandom, I know that there's a stark difference in these three ships due to the character's background and interactions with Naruto.
In Hamilton case, it's a bit different I think.
For one, Aaron Burr x Alexander Hamilton kind of started as acquaintances to friends to rivals to enemies. Meanwhile, Thomas Jefferson x Alexander Hamilton follows a clearer adversaries/rivals to enemies to reluctant acquantance? (since they kinda worked together). I'm taking this in the context of Musical Hamilton isntead of Historically accurate RPF (I do read about them and I did take political philosophy classes featuring Jefferson's and Madison's philosophy but i dont think im adept enough to relate it to the musical Hamilton fandom)
Jefferson x Hamilton ship is the fun kind of enemies to lovers where they hate each other straight up due to the differences of their beliefs. I'd fo as far as to say they're on two opposing spectrums in multiple subjects of debate (kinda how they shaped the US to be a two party system lol). But I can see the potential there, since them arguing and debating would amount to a great deal of sexual tension. I absolutely fics where Jefferson sees Hamilton as a caffein fiend or liberal gremlin lol. I think the extend of enemies to lovers would entail them being different from each other or polar opposites, but there's also some similarities that allow them to trangress from hate to attraction to love. (Like Hamilton's begrudging acceptance that in spite of his views clashing with Jefferson's, he still has strong principles and enough wit to back his opinions (though, shitty). Respect is given when its due, and for one to have even an ounce of respect for an enemy kinda opens up the possibility to see beyond the initial hatred which makes the progression of the ship so enjoyable like you can curse that motherfucker all you want but you're still gonna end up fucking with him since the author already inseterted the enemy to lovers.
For Burr x Hamilton though- it has a whole fucking lot of layers that makes it all the more richer. It kinda starts with Hamilton approaching Burr with admiration and inquiring on how he can get as far as Burr did (graduating early etc) only to be disappointed at Burr's lack of conviction in his stands (talk about not meeting your heroes, huh) But, I imagined that Hamilton kinds of holds dear of his first meeting with Burr, seeing him as his first friend in America.
The evolution of Burr and Hamilton's relationship goes from being total strangers to them being constantly aware of each other/ keep meeting. They might not really run in the same circles anymore, nor do they particularly go out of their way to purposedly spite e/o but they're still in e/o life. Then comes to the moment where Washington chooses Hamilton instead of Burr which procludes Burr and Hamilton having a silent rivalry that they may or may not be concious of. For me, it's endearing how Hamilton is unlike anything Burr has ever uncover and he struggles to understand why Hamilton is the way he is and it's the same case with Hamilton about Burr.
Like they really have this grievances about how the other acts (Hamilton upset with Burr's 'wait for it' attitude while Burr feels that Hamilton brash nature of running straight into things ) and interestingly enough, the way they'd criticise e/o is in no way -they make jabs at the expense of the other but there's not much malice in it (as opposed to how Hamilton would roast Jefferson)
The reason I like enemies to lovers is that there's a moment it goes from them hating e/o to them fully acknowledging their differences that doesn't solidify their loathing but instead becomes endearing or the very thing they seek within the other. It's like complementaries. How soulmates or two different sides of the same coin?
And for the Burr x Hamilton ship- the tragic end where they end up being each other's damnation feels poetic (I can literally imagine a fic where there's the name of your greatest enemy on your left hand while the right hand is the name of your soulmate only for Burr and Hamilton to have each other's name on both hands)
I honestly dont know how i should end this ramble lol but I kinda had a same discussion with a mutual about DMTKH (where Jaha x Jai and Jai x Farhan have distinctively different dynamics in spite of the ship following an enemy to lover kind of trope)

Here’s my ranking of presidents with the same name (not based on effectiveness, just my silly brain and how I feel about them)
Don’t take this too seriously, I’m just having fun.
Thomas
1. Thomas Jefferson
2. T. Woodrow Wilson, yes his birth name was Thomas.
Reasoning: Wilson is one of those guys I only studied of hatred, similarly to how someone might watch Goat Story. Jefferson and Wilson are quite similar however at the very least Jefferson lived in a time where does opinions were not only the norm but also seen as more progressive. Not excusing TJ, he was an awful person, but I prefer him over Wilson and also TJ comes from a time period I prefer studying ^^
John
1. John Quincy Adams
2. John Adams
3. John F. Kennedy
4. John Tyler
Reasoning: JQA is my favourite president and John Adams is my favourite founding father! I’m not sure why, I just love them. I actually don’t care much for JFK, I do think he was a better president than both Adams’, apparently he also liked JQA which makes him cool. Similarly to Wilson, Tyler is a president I only studied out of the disaster he was. I actually like him, I think? I mean if I could play him in a theatre I would, his personality was so arrogant with his shit opinions he would be fine to play. But he was still shit. Not one of the worse presidents, just one of the more dislikable ones. Like Hoover was worse as president but I have a higher opinion of him due to his ideas and philosophy compared to Tyler.
James
1. James Garfield
2. James Madison
3. Jimmy Carter
4. James Monroe
5. James Buchanan
6. James Polk
Reasoning: “Polk is the most underrated president” ive heard this sentence a lot. I disagree. Sure, outside of history circles people don’t know of him, but I had a friend who thought Napoleon knew Julius Caesar so you can’t really expect too much. James Garfield is the most underrated in my opinion, he was really passionate about his opinions and was killed by the silliest assassin ever. Madison is from a time period I prefer studying (even though antebellum is my favourite and thats where Polk is from but shh), Jimmy is just sweet, Monroe had JQA as secretary of state and James Buchanan was gay. Polk literally looks like a bird about to flax away to invade Mexico, not a big fan if you invade stuff. Also he loved Jackson! So fuck him.
George
1. George Washington
2. George the first bush
3. George the second bush
Reasoning: I don’t really care about modern history, as you can tell by me not remembering their names and honestly I don’t care to remember it. After Carter and watergate I js become disinterested sorry.
Andrew
I honestly have no idea how to order them, I hate both equally. I suppose Jackson had a slightly more positive impact on history than Johnson? By that I mean Johnson didn’t do much besides moping. I think it’s good he [Jackson] defended his wife from slut shamers. I admire that both came from troubling backgrounds. Actually, I believe Johnson wasn’t tied to any specific church if I don’t remember it wrong, and I like that. I don’t know, they’re both tied in awfulness.
William
1. William Howard Taft
2. William Henry Harrison
3. Bill Clinton
4. William McKinley
Reasoning: I like judicial history a lot and because of that Taft comes first, I congratulate Harrison for being the first Whig to win and then shortly dying giving us the absolute disaster that is Tyler. I don’t care for Clinton, but I have a higher opinion on him than Mckinley. I agree with Czolgosz, Mckinley was terrible and imperialist. I also don’t like how much Mckinley relied on religion for his decisions, I never like that. I only excuse Garfield for being very religious because he was cool and didn’t invade other countries. The only good thing about Mckinley is that it lead to Roosevelt which lead to Taft, and I like Taft for no particular reason, I just to.
Franklin
1.Franklin Pierce
2.Franklin Roosevelt
Reasoning: I just like the antebellum period more and honestly, unlike Polk and Tyler, I don’t feel the funny hatred towards Pierce that you’d get from a film like Goat Story. Also I ship with Nathaniel Thorne and Herman Melville :3
Roosevelt is cool, they’re actually quite tied. I like Fala, I like how he was disabled because I love disabled rep, I love that zesty picture of him drinking alcohol, I don’t love Japanese internment camps however.
Please tell me if I’ve forgotten any! And also remember it’s okay to disagree with me, once again these are my nonsensical opinions that are more than biased. It’s not about how well of a job they did, then this ranking would be very different, just how much I enjoy them almost as characters. In other words: RPF
#please remember this is silly#its not serious or political#just fun#whimsy and joy#amrev#amrev fandom#us history#presidential history#antebellum period#antebellum#jqa#john quincy adams#john adams#jimmy carter#rest in peace#jfk#do i have to tag them all?#john tyler#thomas jefferson#woodrow wilson#william howard taft#fdr#george washington#james k polk#james madison#franklin pierce#im gonna stop tagging them all now :3#rinni never shut ups

1x1 RP Request
Hey there! My name’s Teddy, but you can also call me Theo, Ted, or Tedster—whatever feels right! I’m 23 and looking for a long-term, detailed roleplay partner who loves angst, slow-burn romance, and deep character development just as much as I do.
I’ve been roleplaying since I was around 17, starting on Amino before moving to Discord. I took a small hiatus last year due to personal issues, but I’m back and ready to start writing again. I focus on quality over excessive length and love exploring my favorite characters in unique and compelling ways. If you enjoy in-depth storytelling, found family dynamics, and emotional intensity, we’ll probably get along great!

📖 Plot Ideas & AU Preferences 📖
I love character-driven narratives, emotional arcs, and unique settings! Here are a few plot ideas I’d love to explore, but I’m always open to brainstorming something new:
🌙 Post-Storyline AUs – Could be based right after the initial plot took place or even years after it took place.
🏠 One Stayed, One Left – One character moved away while the other stayed behind. Maybe they’ve become a parent, or they’re lonely and stuck in the past.
👥 Foster Care AU – One character is almost 18, jaded and angry after being in the system too long, while the other helps them open up. (Works best as a Platonic RP TBH)
🎓 Teachers AU – They reconnect or meet as teachers in the same school.
🌲 Summer Camp Counselors – A chance meeting at a summer camp leads to something deeper. 🎭 Artist x Theater Kid – Opposites attract in an artsy way!
🌀 Group Therapy AU – They meet while working through their personal struggles.
🔄 Body-Swap AU – Chaos, hilarity, and emotional introspection!
��� College AU – A fresh start, new friendships, and navigating adulthood together.
⚠️ Boundaries & Triggers ⚠️
I love writing angst, but I do have a few limits:
🚫 No excessive gore/violence – I can handle some, but not in large amounts or suddenly.
🚫 No gun-related topics – Guns make me extremely uncomfortable.
🚫 No hospital settings – Please avoid this theme.
🚫 No car crashes – I have a major issue with this topic.
🚫 No animal abuse – Shouldn’t have to say this, but I’ve been proven otherwise.
For dark themes, there needs to be buildup – If a character struggles with something like depression or suicidal ideation, I prefer realistic character development instead of it happening randomly.
📌 RP Style & Preferences 📌
✅ I only RP canon characters – No main OCs (I allow side character OCs, but they must be discussed first).
✅ I write in third-person – I’d prefer if my partner does the same.
✅ No script-style RP – No asterisks for actions or “hfjskdj” in dialogue.
✅ Character ages must be 17+ for romance plots and 18+ for NSFW content – No exceptions.
✅ I prefer partners 18+ but am willing to RP with younger partners as long as the RP stays appropriate.
✅ I match responses but prefer semi-lit to literate – I start off with longer responses but may shorten them as we get comfortable.
📩 Interested? Let’s Chat! 📩
If any of this sounds like your vibe, DM me here or on Discord (@awkward_anxiety)! I love OOC conversations and brainstorming, so don’t be afraid to reach out. Let’s create something amazing together!

February 17th 1796 saw the death of poet James MacPherson.
MacPherson is mainly known as the “translator” of the Ossian cycle of poems, he was born at Ruthven in the parish of Kingussie, Badenoch, Inverness-shire and educated at King’s College, Aberdeen.
Macpherson presented the Ossian poems as authentic translations of an original oral work by a legendary Gaelic bard, Ossian. They turned out to be hugely influential -inspiring artists, composers and writers. The poems evoked a coherent, mythic world, equivalent to the classical legends and characters of Homer. However, controversy soon followed, with detractors claiming that Macpherson had written the works himself. It is now believed he used existing Gaelic ballads, adding themes and references from other sources.
His first book of poems, The Highlander in 1758, was no a success but after collecting Gaelic manuscripts and having orally transmitted Gaelic poems transcribed with the encouragement of the poet John Home and the financial support of Edinburgh Minister and author he published the English-language text “Fragments of ancient poetry”, collected in the Highlands of Scotland. The next year he started publishing the Ossian poems.
So who was Ossian? He was a legendary Irish Bard who is said to be the son of Finn or Fionn mac Cumhaill, anglicised to Finn McCool.
Macpherson’s poems were a massive success, admirers and people who took inspiration are like a who’s who, Samuel Johnson, William Wordsworth, Napoleon and Diderot were great admirers, and Voltaire wrote parodies of them. Thomas Jefferson thought Ossian “the greatest Poet that has ever existed” In his later years he bought an estate, to which he gave the name Belville or Balavil, in his native Inverness-shire, where he died at the age of 59.
Macpherson’s remains were carried from Scotland to Westminster Abbey.
Whether or not The Ossian poems were genuine or not we will never know but they are hailed as classics in their own right.
MacPherson’s work is described as epic in more than one sense, I’ve said before I find longer pieces of verse hard work, even some of Burns is hard work for me and prefer short poetry, if you can handle it go read his work, I reckon it is all available for free online.
In the meantime here is a short extract from Fingal, Book one, the description of the battle between the eponymous hero sounds like a storm.........
“As autumn’s dark storms pour from two echoing hills, toward each other approached the heroes.—As two dark streams from high rocks meet, and mix and roar on the plain; loud, rough and dark in battle met Lochlin and Innis-fail. Chief mixed his strokes with chief, and man with man; steel, clanging, sounded on steel, helmets are cleft on high. Blood bursts and smokes around. … As the troubled noise of the ocean when roll the waves on high; as the last peal of the thunder of heaven, such is the noise of battle.“

Battle of the blonde dandies...
In the left corner, Major Benjamin Tallmadge: smarter than you (probably), Protestantism, won't freeze if you dunk him the Delaware river (TURN), won't die if you shoot him (TURN), never been severely injured in war (history - citation his memoir), spying, politics, Yale, can and will yell at Thomas Jefferson (history - citation his memoir), good aim - doesn't like duelling.
In the right corner, Monsieur the newly made vampire Lestat de Lioncourt (1780 - books): mind reading, the sun won't kill him (he tried), can set small fires with his mind, speed, agility, can pick up information twice as fast as a vampire, as a young country lord he was made to go out in the snow and kill wolves that were attacking his village. Bisexual-biromantic (to the point where it causes problems <- affectionate) an atheist (also Ricean vampires will laugh at you if you try the crucifix thing).
Common things: blonde, hot (don't lie), smart (depending who you ask), anti-heroism, aspiring for goodness, really really want to do the right thing despite nature/spy. 18th century men who look good in blue(?)
Context: I wrote this in my fic anti-hero, neither won, cause the plot requires they both live, yes, they can beat one another without killing each other (Audrey - oc, would prefer that tbh) but who wins (whatever 'winning' is) in this situation, now vote.
Note: vote based on the information provided, not impulse.

Three-Legged Puppy Fics
List five of your least-popular fics, as well as when/why you wrote them.
Home to the Weary: Merlin, Gwen/Morgana, 2010.
I wrote this at the request of a friend who wanted, I think, something Gwen-centric. Because I was not a fan of the show I decided to focus on an AU in which Gwen backflipped out of that whole situation and founded her own sort of kingdom, only meeting the terrible trio years later. It was really fun and was the first time I'd ever tried writing a fic that hinted at a larger world going on around the characters, if that makes sense. This one's a little pretentious but you can definitely see my "style" as it were.
Treads on the Ground: Babylon (not the sci-fi show, the short-lived british cop show), Liz Garvey/Finn Kirkwood, 2022.
This was written during my Bertie Carvel phase where I'd watched "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" and was desperate for something, anything, that didn't have him wearing terrible prosthetics or playing a psycho. He still sort of plays a psycho in this show, but he looks super hot and angry all the time which is really all I needed. (Also bonus hilarity: Liz's boyfriend in this show is played by none other than James Lance, playing "louche asshole" to the absolute hilt.) Anyway I wrote this because I really wanted a fake dating AU for these two AND a "Finn is secretly in line to the throne" fic and this was the perfect way to combine these two. I'm still legitimately really proud of thsi fic.
The Bright Relief: 1776 musical, John Adams & Thomas Jefferson (and a little bit of / in there, if I'm honest), 2010.
I wrote this because my friends waldorph and screamlet and I were having the Summer of 1776 Feelings and we all wrote various (wonderful) crimes and misdemeanors in that fandom, mostly revolving all the ways in people who love John Adams make fun of him. That was a truly terrible summer but made a whole lot better by those two, and by William Daniels being the most John Adams to ever John Adams. (I actually rewatched the miniseries a few months ago and Paul Giamatti does a great job but that thing is SO DREARY. Although I will say Stephen Dillane first caught my eye in the role of TJeff, aka once again playing a guy who's down real bad for someone smarter than him (in this case both Abigail AND John). The scene where he first meets Abigail is just nonstop flirting, with John making faces in the background. It's great.)
Happy Tails To You (Until We Meet Again): SGA, Rodney McKay/John Sheppard, 2009.
Oh lordy — probably the worst fic I've ever written, but I can't quite bring myself to delete it. I've been on the periphery of fandom for most of my adult life (what up X-Files yahoo groups and Prodigy Star Trek RP rooms), but SGA was what made me start thinking of writing fic after a long period of only reading it. (Yes, there is college-era gus fic out there. No, I'm not posting it on AO3.) I never quite got a handle on Sheppard or McKay but I did enjoy writing this and the other SGA fic I wrote, but yeah this deserves its obscurity.
Honey Now I'm Not One To Complain: Dalgliesh, Adam Dalgliesh/Kate Miskin, 2022.
Another one of my "Bertie Carvel is extremely attractive when he's sad and/or a cop" flash-fandoms, although I wrote a pretty good primer on the first season that I think gives a good case for the show as a whole. I wanted to write that largely because the show is so resolutely grim and I prefer stories that are... not grim, so I gave myself the challenge of putting these guys into one of the classic tropes. I did toy with the fake dating/marriage trope but honestly I think this was funnier, and I would always rather commit to the bit.
Tagging uhhh let's see, @laiqualaurelote, @themardia, @sadcypress, @auntieclimactic, and @eyebrowofdoom, if they (or anyone else) wants to do this.

HAMILTON OC.
INFORMATION ABT HER:3
Her name is Vivianne Monet Jefferson, she is Thomas's Twin.
She and Thomas are twin siblings, with the only problem being that because of their parents, they have always found themselves against each other, in competition, and ended up hating each other (Thomas is also a man so there is a slight preference) When Thomas went to France, Vivianne went to New York, to study alongside Aaron, treating him like a little brother (one of those who always gets bullied). But one day in politics Vivianne began to support Alexander, becoming his secretary, And then she saw that she was going against her brother, so it was a race against her own family, race for the top place.
They don't hate each other. They just need to find each other again.
