- Do I really need to say anything about Washington, Jefferson, or Madison
- Alexander Hamilton was not an advocate for immigrants. In fact, he pushed laws that would harm immigrants because he feared the effect they would have on his political career
- Angelica Schuyler was actually friends with Jefferson, which is its whole separate thing
- The Schuyler family had their fortune built off of slaves, which Hamilton benefitted from when he married Eliza
- Hercules Mulligan owned a slave (His name was Cato. He was a spy in the Revolution, and you should definitely look into him!)
I love the musical, but please remember to treat this subject with respect. The musical characters are fictional counterparts to their historical ones. View the fictional characters how you want, but remember how horrible the real people were. Angelica would not have fought for slaves rights, she owned her own. Hamilton wouldn't help immigrants because he was one, he created laws that still harm them to this day. The musical is beautiful, but take off the rose tinted glasses when you analyze the historical figures and their actions. Enjoy the musical, remember the history.
I think another problem with the mindset of kudos/comments on AO3 is part of theĀ āstalkingā culture on instagram. If you like a picture that is months old on instagram, itsĀ āinsta-stalkingā because you had to scroll through that personās profile in order to find those months-old pictures.
That is NOT how AO3 works. Itās not cringe or embarrassing to find a fic that was posted in 2012 and like it. It is there to read.Ā
Sure, maybe some of us have some old works that arenāt up to our current standards of writing. But I, personally, am never going to look at a kudos email and thinkĀ āew omg I canāt believe someone found this fic from 2016 why are they liking itā. In fact, I am entirely going to goĀ ānice! people are still reading some of my older works too, Iām glad they enjoyed itā. Itās an archive, it is meant to be a collection of transformative works, old and new, and you are meant to find them.Ā
In fact, if you find a work that is from five years ago and you really liked it? I bet the author would love a comment even then.
ICE has been ordered to release children but they're the ones who get to decide if they release their parents as well or if they're just throwing these kids out, so please at the very least sign this petition
Yemen is facing the worlds largest hunger crisis and the world is too quiet.
And itās the children that pay the highest price. An estimated 85,000 children have lost their lives to extreme starvation alone. Every 10 minutes, a child under 5 dies of preventable causes in Yemen. When choosing what charities or goals you want to support during the last few days of Ramadan, I urge you to keep the children of Yemen in mind. And if youāre not celebrating Ramadan, or are not religious.. youāre still human.
These are a few of charities that I know of that you can donate to:
Remember, itās the smallest donations that build up or even just rebloging/sharing would help. May Allah smile upon us all, and relieve the children of this world of their heartache.
