I’ve yet to hear a single other person say they liked Gore Vidal’s Burr, but I thought it was a master class in crafting prose.

Going straight for the jugular.

Either way, Laurens would know, amirite?

i do think it'd be like really funny if Those Words jc hamilton crossed out in his dad's letter to jlau like weren't sexual at all they were just kind of tmi. "don't forget to tell her the length of my nose and also that i fart a lot in my sleep."

I can vouch for the fact that It Does Not Taste Like Mustard, because I have been doing this for years, and not once has anyone noticed. (And by “anyone,” I mean my mustard-hating spouse)

my advice to you; put a little dijon mustard in any cheesy beige food. whisk it into your cheese sauce just before u add the cooked macaroni. spread a thin layer in your cheese toasties. add a spoonful to your mashed potatoes with the butter. anything thats gonna be heavy on rich dairy and starches will benefit enormously from the hint of warmth and acidity that dijon mustard will give it, even if you don't add enough to make it Taste Like Mustard (which, ideally, you shouldnt). itll cut through the richness and stop your tastebuds getting fatigue from too much fat&starch, which is important for the overall enjoyment of a dish. ur welcome. take this knowledge and change the world

Dead over 200 years and still getting play. (As it should be. The man did not fuck his way through the French Revolution on one leg to be disrespected as “the whalebone penis guy.”)

Leaving my panties on Gouv Morris' grave like a fan throwing their bra on stage during a concert

On a note completely unrelated to anything else I’ve written on tumblr: this cross stitch is the greatest thing in the history of ever.

This. Is my pride and joy. A gift for my dad, who played Zork with me when I was a kid, and with his dad when he was a kid. I designed this pattern myself and had a great time puzzling out how to hide the glow in the dark letters!

Pattern: “West of House” by me Fabric: 2x1 on 18ct Blue-Grey Aida Started: 11/27/2021 Finished: 12/25/2021

90% of parenting is knowing when (not) to laugh.

Philip: Pops, I got suspended from school...

Hamilton: WHAT?!?! What did you do?

Philip: My teacher pointed at me with a ruler, and he said "there is an idiot at the end of this ruler".

Hamilton: And...?

Philip: I asked which end...

Hamilton, unable to contain his laughter: Okay, you just made my day.

You know you’re Too Fucking Old when your first thought is, “5.25 inch or 3.5 inch?”

Tag your age if you wanna bc I was just thinking about how I have used floppy disks before (I'm 25 and used them in elementary computer lab) but my 22 y.o. brother hasn't which is so weird to me like 3 years isn't a long time at all to me

While every force available in the world is searching for the 5 people in the oceangate submersible, a boat filled with mostly Syrian and Pakistani refugees sank under still “unknown” circumstances off the coast of Peloponnisos, Greece (with the coast guard present). More than 600 people drowned but guess which of the two is making headlines

I’d love a source, because I haven’t seen this in any of my reading.

It also manages to be both perfectly in AND out of character.

I received this in the newsletter from Mount Vernon and I thought that I should let it get some love on tumblr

OMG, I read the article and it turns out this went public when one of the members of his squadron tried to blackmail him (into “favours”), and it was only when Major Ham took to military police that he got suspended.

(Private Reynolds does appear to have been arrested, tho. Justice for Ham!)

I'm not making this up, this is a real honest to God news article

Eagerly awaiting this man’s pamphlet statement on the incident…

My daughter came home from school telling me they learned about Valley Forge & the American Revolution today. So I asked if she learned about Steuben’s Pantsless Flaming Shot Party, and long story short, only one of us appears to be concerned about this gaping hole in her education.

Happy Pride to General Von Steuben and his infamous Anything-But-Pants Flaming Shots Party

Rocky Horror is turning 50 next month and people still act like being gay was invented by Ellen in 1997

There is a particular sting after a relationship ends, whether that person was a partner, a family member, or even a friend. You go about your life and move on, and then out of the blue you’ll see something that reminds you of a joke you shared, a reference that only they would understand.

It’s like grief except that they’re still out there and an asshole.

(Also there is a child here who is absolutely a young Alex.)
