DeSantis is attacking education in as many places in Florida as possible--he's forced colleges to detail what funds they spent on "diversity, equity and inclusion" and is pushing for a ban on diversity programs as of TODAY. He's taking over the most radical liberal arts college in Florida and filling the board with his own conservatives and trying to change them from diversity, equity and inclusion to "equality, merit, and colorblindness" and wants to prevent fucking gender ideology. IE it's the queerest campus in Florida and they all hate him. And he ousted the president who called it a hostile takeover and replaced her with a former Republican House speaker Richard Corcoran--who by the way, has supported every single other thing DeSantis has done in schools, like making it easier to DECERTIFY teachers' unions and trying to push private schools or public education spending.

He's trying to control and indocrinate children in schools AND colleges, from the "Don't Say Gay" law that did the exact same thing as that stupid case with the baker who wouldn't bake a gay cake--the one that will let them get away with everything that comes.

And yes, he's running for president.

Don't let him win.

I don't Think ive seen anyone on here talking abt some US states forcing teachers to remove all books from their classrooms and force them to only have pre-vetted books available or else face possible JAIL TIME ???

sure someone will drag me for coming off as rude or whatever but like...

as a mortician it really grates me when ppl call us predatory or unnecessary. it's expensive to be born, it's expensive to live, it's expensive to die. sorry.

(it also grates me caitlyn doodoohead...sorry doughface...or whatever the fuck her name is exists and perpetuates this as a half ass mortician, bc ppl like her are harmful as all fuck and perpetuate other huge issues. I say half assed bc shes not a licensed embalmer, she says by choice, I honestly fully believe she can't do it. 💅✨️ fans can cry about it, idgaf)

anyway, you're paying for our time, or skill, and our by law required license.

we're still a business that needs to pay employees.

im sorry some of you are too shallow or daft to believe we need money to live and eat, but it is so rude to constantly hear im preying on your grief. I am not. i am providing you with the goods and services you requested and have even provided a LAW REQUIRED price list.

I don't give a flying fuck if you spend $10 or $100,000 on granny's farewell. it's whatever YOU want bc funerals and memorialisation is for the living. I give everyone the same empathy, compassion, and level of service regardless of what their budget allows them to do bc its about their loved one and the grieving process in the end.

also cremation, tree urns, just throw me in the dirt/throw me in the ocean, all also cost money. they're all still services.

hope this helps yall.

You don't know about Detective and Abroad because they're not as good lol.

Detective is fine, but Abroad wasted its potential to me, but your standard may be different.

There's also multiple unfinished works. Tom Sawyer's Conspiracy, where Tom accidently gets somebody charged with murder, and has to fix it (Huck and Tom snuggle in it.) The story ends right after the murderers are announced. Huck and Tom Among the Indians is another, and was pretty racist, even by the standards of the time. It ends mid-sentence.

There's also Tom plans a Naval Battle, a work on Huck Finn about a doughface, and Schoolhouse Hill. The first one is only like two pages, the Huck Finn is just like a page, and Schoolhouse Hill only features Huck once, and Tom about three times, so I don't count them.

Thanks for telling me! I kind of figured they weren't gonna be as good because nobody talks about them lol but I still want to read them? I guess? Because I like Tom and Huck so much 😭😭 But "Tom among the indians" sounds terrible wth😭 I love that Tom and Huck canonically snuggle at some point so thank you for mentioning that especially🩷 I think I still want to read the two stories even if they aren't as good, but, let's be honest, the ending of The Adventures of Huck Finn wasn't really all that great either so I'm not expecting too much I just want to read more about Tom and Huck being silly together

Naval Letters of Percival Drayton, 1861-1865

I think I was searching for Alexander Hamilton Jr. (...yeah, that's his name 👀👀, and he was indeed the OG Alexander Hamilton's grandson(!!)), Percival Drayton's close friend when I found this collection of letters from Percy. They wrote each other all life long, but especially during the civil war.

Here are some screenshots of Percy's letters to his friend Alex H. Jr (though this collection also holds letters he wrote to Lydig M. Holt, his other close friend, which are shown in the screenshots as well), with each of them taken because they piqued my interest... 😏😉

I've written (heck, drawn even) about Percy and Dolph (John A. Dahlgren) being friends, and here is Percy telling Lydig M. Hoyt about his friend Dolph 🥺💙🌊

...ah yes, that infamous letter where 🌊Papi🌊 David Farragut is proven wine mom 😅😅😂🤣🙈

(...and turns out Percy confessed his private sin (ie. cigar smoking) in this letter too 👀👀)

So right around this time (latter half of 1864) there was Sanitation Fair held in New York to raise funds for Union soldiers and sailors alike. 🌊Papi's🌊 CDV and autograph proves to be hot commodity there 😺😏😌✨.

Even Percy got a CDV request from McClellan's wife(!) 👀👀

That time when 🌊Papi🌊 and Percy received a distinguished visitor, General Alexander Asboth. He was a Hungarian immigrant who fought during the 1848 revolution in Hungary, and later fought in American Civil War as well (distinguished himself in the battle of Pea Ridge). He invited them to dinner and they had...chocolate soup??

And here's Percy throwing ✨Shade✨ to some New York doughfaces and copperheads 💀🔥

...I shouldn't laugh but I find it hilarious how Virginia was surprised by 🌊Papi's🌊 sudden leave 😅😩🥲���. Apparently Percy was supposed to go but it was so urgent so 🌊Papi🌊 ended up leaving on his own...

james buchanan was truly a nothingburger of a president, sort of a typical prewar doughface who just had the ill fortune to be the guy in the big chair when shit finally blew up. The problem is it did blow up and he did more or less what you'd imagine of a doughface: nothing. He spent the whole 19th century being vilified by the entire country for being one of the causes for the bloodshed, and that settled in particularly deep in Pennsylvania, which contributed a lot of the Union dead and where, unusually for a northern state, major battles of the war were fought

pennsylvanian schools teaching james buchanan like "we hate our dead gay son"

Aw hell.

[A video. Oscar’s walking down a hallway while he talks, the camera not focused on anything.

“So my apartment building’s back. Don’t know where it was for a week, but wherever it decided to vacationed it brought back…. this.”

At ‘this’ the video pans up. A raccoon, recognizable as Doughface, is on a kitchen counter, back arched and snarling at the camera. He’s holding/wearing a mismatched collection of rather expensive looking jewelry.

“Alright buddy. You don’t wanna be here, I don’t want you here. So why don’t you just hand over my shit and we can figure something out.”

The camera moves closer.

“Tell you what. You can even keep the watch. Consider it a gift from your old pal Os-”

Doughface lunges.

“Oh fuck.”

The camera falls. Yelling and cursing is heard off screen for a few moments before the screen goes black.]

the fuck are we even letting people just set fires willy-nilly in the city in the first place? seems like an oversight and an invitation for disaster
