“With that puss we could easily move a thousand papes a week,”

1000 papes is equal to 1000 penny’s.

1000 pennys is one cent.

10 dollars in the United States.

They would only make 10 dollars. Split that around (if we’re counting about 30? Newsies) 30 times.

33 cents per person. Now of course that’s all you needed back then. 33 cents could last you a few days in 1899.

The Newsies (happy 125th anniversary to the end of the Newsboys' Strike of 1899)

david isn't a "cinnamon roll" nor is he a "mom friend" david jacobs is an autistic awkward teenager that never really had friends and comes off as kinda mean and he has no idea how to be normal. and that's exactly why all the newsboys guys liked him so much from the beginning

"One for all, and all for one!"

Today marks 125 years since the start of the newsboy strike against The World and The Journal! Here's my revamped version of the strike picture that I made last year!

Last year's version and which newsie is which under the cut 🗞🪧👞

so in the 1890s dating language was a lot different from today…

so the newsies could say they were going on dates… but it would more likely be referred to as a public courtship.

and the terms Boyfriend and Girlfriend wouldn’t exist until the 1910-20s but they did have

beau- male partner /boyfriend (pronounced bow)

belle- female partner /girlfriend

unfortunately there’s no gender neutral because uh pre modern era and all, but I think Partner or Courted would work

Other common pet names include: angel, baby, beloved, darling, dear, dearest, honey, heart, love, lover, precious, sweetheart, treasure

Albert: ‘They’ll never find the body’ is such a boring threat, a better threat would be ‘they’ll never stop finding the body’

Crutchie, bored: Or just say ‘they’ll be finding parts of you for at least 4 months, and you’ll still be alive for 3 of them’

Race: Now that’s a threat!

modern day les jacobs would be a brain rot kid and davey would struggle figuring out what he’s saying

“-100 aura” “les what the fuck are you saying”

(jack would understand what les was saying. he would have to help his boyfriend understand what les was saying)
