i have always loved Norman Rockwells version of Rosie the Riveter far better than the original one by J Howard Miller. She looks so much more like the women working during World War 2, and the fact that her pose is based off of Michelangelo's David is so fun. like lets fucking go rosie. eat that ham sandwich

Look, idk what tween or even teen needs to hear this
But you will get better at being yourself.
In like, 3-4 years, you’re gonna experience and learn and see so much, and you’re gonna grow into yourself in ways you had no idea you were going to.
Someday, dressing the way you want will be easier, talking/laughing/singing will be easier, you’ll be funnier without having to work at it so hard, you’re gonna figure out what you like and don’t like, you’re gonna be good at That Thing that u wanna be good at, you’re gonna be able to try the stuff u wanna try, learn the stuff u wanna learn and experiment with your personality and style and while you won’t “find yourself” in 3-4 years you’re gonna get a good start. And yeah, you may hate your smile, your laugh, your haircut, and your circumstances right now, but one day you will wake up in a world that you created, that’s specific to YOU and YOUR dreams and you’re gonna think damn. I’m actually fine as hell. You will love you.
Growing up will get easier and more fun-it’s supposed to be awkward and weird right now. You’re doing it absolutely right <3

Who wants to see one of the dumbest purchases I've ever made in my life?
An actual 1881 copy of a book with all the info your average American could possibly want about the recently-assassinated President James Garfield. It was just sitting there at the used bookstore! I didn't even have to fight anyone for it!
As far as I can tell, it includes:
the campaign biography that was written for his presidential election
transcripts of some of his speeches, including the speech to nominate John Sherman at the 1880 Republican Convention, and his inaugural address
a full account of the assassination
recountings of his final moments and the funeral
the autopsy
a history of the Lincoln assassination for some reason
accounts of the world's reaction to the assassination
a list of all the prominent world figures who'd recently been assassinated
a whole lot of eulogies by some people who knew him and probably a bunch who didn't
This gets detailed. There's a full chart of every single round of voting from the 1880 Republican nomination convention.
A short bio of our boy Chet Arthur (with astounding illustrated sideburns).
And lots of illustrations!
As a book, it's not something to sit down and read (or to trust with much historical accuracy as a biography). As a historical object, though, I'm going to get an absurd amount of delight out of this stupid thing.

I don't go here but you're so right about gale, that's all
he is AWKWARD and ENDEARING and TOO SMART FOR HIS OWN GOOD
he has a CAT, a LIBRARY, and a self-professed WEAKNESS FOR A GOOD GLASS OF WINE
in all seriousness though, he is such a great character and i love him a lot!! he's definitely one of my top 3 baldursgate characters (shadowheart and wyll tie for #1 depending on my mood lol) and he deserves to be appreciated more!
