THE DEATH AND LIFE OF MARSHA P. JOHNSON (2017)

History isn’t something you look back at and say it was inevitable. It happens because people make decisions that are sometimes very impulsive and of the moment, but those moments are cumulative realities. — Marsha P. Johnson

Queens started being filed out and being put into police cars, and guns had been drawn. Molotov cocktails were flying. And I’m like, “Oh my God, the revolution is here. Thank God. You’ve been treating us like shit all these years? Uh uh. Now it’s our turn.” — Sylvia Rivera

LA Cares AIDS campaign (c.1984) starring Zelda Rubinstein Zelda Rubinstein was a little person (the term she preferred) who began acting in her 40's. Her big break came in 1982 with her role as Tangina Barrons in the film Poltergeist.

In 1984, she was the the central figure in a series of advertisements, directed towards gay men specifically, promoting safer sex and AIDS awareness. Rubinstein did so at risk to her own career, especially so shortly after her rise to fame, and admitted later that she did "pay a price, career-wise." "I lost a friend to AIDS, one of the first public figures that died of AIDS," the actress said in an interview with The Advocate. "I knew it was not the kind of disease that would stay in anybody's backyard. It would climb the fences, get over the fences into all of our homes. It was not limited to one group of people." She attended the first AIDS Project Los Angeles AIDS Walk. (Source:Wikipedia)

How many times did Burr mention Hamilton after the duel/in his journal?

In his journal, he didn’t. It’s a fascinating omission.

Travelling through the German states in 1809 he actually has a disingenuous little rant: “I find that, among the great number of Americans here and there, all are hostile to A. B. — all. What a lot of rascals they must be to make war on one whom they do not know; on one who never did harm or wished harm to a human being.” - but he must have known very well why, after his treason trials. He can hardly have forgotten the very obvious instance of ‘harm’.

He is known to have spoken about the duel twice. Once was to Jeremy Bentham, and once was when he was much older, and visited the scene with a friend. The friend describes him as having been angry at the recollection, and at Hamilton.

Other than that, he visited a waxwork exhibition and laughed at its depiction of the duel (and the terrible doggerel that accompanied it), and he shut down a question about whether Hamilton was a gentleman with a haughty “I met him”.

That’s basically it. Really remarkably little, for the man whom public sentiment hung about his neck like an albatross. But Burr took not-dwelling-on-unpleasant-past-events to an art form.

Benjamin Franklin originally wanted the American bird to be the turkey but instead it turned out to be the bald eagle which is ironic because now bald Americans fly to Turkey to get their bald fixed which is crazy cuz turkey is a flightless bird

"my father's reputation would suffer amongst those who had no understanding of how it was with our slaves."

This is like the craziest it's been thus far irt the issue of slavery like up until then it's kind of been the hamiltonesque narrative of like well they felt bad about having enslaving people (Still bad) but now it's really going mask off

i have been trading without paying for this stupid novel america's first daughter which is from the POV of tj's daughter martha and I'm kind of enjoying the mental gymnastics the author is doing to assure us that our narrator is not a horrible person by every so often basically having her turn to the screen and be like. "Enslaving people makes me sad :("
