POV: you are a small boy in 1852 who is being cruelly forced to wear turn-down collars, even though young Sidney Bowler—who's not half so tall as you!—has had stick-ups and white chokers for ever so long.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but there seems to be an 19th century man on my back porch. I've given him a cup of tea but unfortunately my roommate is highly allergic to menfolk or I'd ask him inside. Is there anything else I should do for him? Or should I just leave him be?

Oh dear! You can try leaving articles of clothing for him, such as a greatcoat or macintosh, or even a cache of tinned food (which is known to attract 19th century men).

But at this point, if he hasn’t found a good home, you may want to turn to a local organisation such as a social club for 19th century gentlemen. He wasn't made to be wandering alone; he should be socialising and enjoying whitebait dinners with his peers!

I may or may not have just gone on an extremely long rant about Alan Turing in my AP U.S History assignment - and by that I mean I had to rewrite it 6 times because it was too long.

The assignment was not about Alan Turing whatsoever. It was about WW2, specifically D-Day. The assignment was to watch a video and write 3 annotations. I responded to one which was referring to covert intelligence used by the Allied forces, which then prompted me to bring up Enigma, and if I bring up Enigma I have to bring up Alan Turing, AND THEN ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER AND I ACCIDENTALLY WROTE AN ESSAY ABOUT ALAN TURING AND BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND JOHN FUCKING LEECH (fucking love you, John Leech <3)

It's amazing that this blog has somehow evolved Roast the 1850s Monday. Should we invite John Leech?
