your post about Houdini reminded me of a good omens post I saw years ago; Crowley's mad at Houdini for some reason so he traps him in a room, says "ooh what's that behind your ear", reaches behind Houdini's head and pulls back flipping the bird
I know this isn't really the place to post edits to be honest but this one I just made shows one of my favourite part in post apocalyptic shows/games/movies. The human connections.
"Number one, this is not a show about zombies. This is a show and a story about love." - Troy Baker.
I can't even explain how much resonate with any zombie medias I've watched. Yes, zombies/walker/clicker (or whatever you want to name them) are apart of it but they're like the side plot.
That type of content, to me, shows so much about connections and how humans would act without the society. We can see bounds forming between people who would have never even bat an eye at one another on a daily basis. There are no more real social groups. No poor, no rich. Just people trying to survive the best they can.
New families, not bounded my blood but families none the less. Caring for and protecting one another. They all have different backgrounds, different morals and ethic but they still bring people in no matter the danger it could bring upon them.
Anyways, my heart will always belong to zombies/ post apocalyptic medias <3
I am absolutely not joking when I tell you that one of the main reasons I started this blog way back in 2008 (yes...SIXTEEN YEARS AGO) was because I thought: "Maybe I should post some of these random articles I've written about Franklin Pierce in case there are other people like me."
Quite frankly, I didn't think that there were, but I'm happy that I was wrong. And shocked to find out over those sixteen years (!!!) that there were actually tens of thousands of people interested in reading my random stuff about Franklin Pierce. I just happened to branch out and talk about other Presidents too.
But since we're talking about him tonight, in case anybody wants to go back, I might as well share links to some of those pieces about Franklin Pierce:
•Pierce Bicentennial Essay
Originally written for the New Hampshire Historical Society's website celebrating Pierce's 200th birthday in 2004
•"When tears and toil and conflict will be unknown"
When former President Pierce wrote a moving letter to President Abraham Lincoln following the death of Lincoln's son, Willie -- a tragedy that Pierce also experienced as President.
•"After the White House what is there to do but drink?"
•"Franklin Pierce and the Consequences of Ambition"
•"In Concord: The Friendship of Pierce and Hawthorne"
A piece about the lifelong friendship between Franklin Pierce and author Nathaniel Hawthorne -- and friendship that endured controversy and lasted until Hawthorne's death while on holiday with former President Pierce.
•My 2011 review of Peter A. Wallner's two-volume biography of President Pierce -- Franklin Pierce: New Hampshire's Favorite Son (2004) and Franklin Pierce: Martyr for the Union (2007) -- which is the definitive modern biography about Franklin Pierce's life and times.
