i DO think the budding “amadeus (1984) is homoerotic” section of this site is hilarious because on one hand real but on the other hand this is opening sort of a pandora’s box. like… ok so an 18th century drama loosely based on the lives of real people? and it focuses on one guy’s obsession with another guy bc while guy 1 considers himself hardworking and pragmatic guy 2 is able to run laps around him in their field without even trying? and it leads to guy 1 being responsible for guy 2’s death and then spending the rest of his life regretful over it? and all of this is narrated by guy 1 so we’re not sure how reliable of a narrator he actually is. And this is homoerotic yaoi action? Ok

Jefferson would ride those fuck ass scooters all over the place and he would look so stupid. Hamilton would do it as well while coked out but that's more rare

modern Jefferson would wear overalls with no shirt and a bass pro shop hat

so i get your vision but i think you're going just a TAD too country. virginia country is different from lousiana country which is different from kentucky country which is different from north/south carolina country, and so on. you get me. for instance clean cut/fit with a bass pro shop hat + tucked-in polo + salmon dickies + boat shoes is very john laurens date night. jefferson's more of a granola charlottesville professorial no deodorant leathery-skin biking shorts at the camp ground blasting NPR in the subaru baja type. overalls with no shirt is giving me coal miner in the holler. maybe jefferson would cosplay as that for like, a week, and then get bored.

I just remembered at the last linguistics conference I was at, it was about a specific family of Native American languages, very niche topic, and guess whose name got dropped casually at one of the presentations? Jefferson. Apparently he recorded some words for one of these languages and it’s one of the few extant sources. A true jumpscare for an AmRev Tumblr peruser such as myself

Detail from a page of Thomas Jefferson’s "Weather Record (1776-1818)", in which he meticulously and somewhat obsessively notes down the temperature on everyday of the year. In this detail, from the year 1777, we see evidence of a particularly cold spring in Virginia, with frost on the ground as late as early April
