[asknorman-polk]

I told Sammy that if he wanted to call my drawing shit, he should at least back it up with his own. He refused, but when I went in his office later I found this on his desk. I think he refused to draw my hands.

(Creators Note - I did draw both drawings, the one before was meant to look messy, since in my au Norman is no artist.)

[creationandcalamityau]

I think it's funny to remember that in this AU, Norman is not only buff (he's not that buff, but he counts as buff in my head lmao) , but my man is like 6'5. He probably bonks his head on doorways (because have you seen how small those doorframes are in game? Either that or my measurement skills are terrible, probably both. But the doors are kinda small looking)

C&C!Norman ain't getting in there.

I finally managed to capture Polk's process of tucking herself under the sofa sheet to passive-aggressively inform me that she's cold. Under a minute, not bad.

[ID: A one minute video with ambient audio (no music or talking) which shows Polk the tabby, moving around my orange sofa which has a flannel sheet on it; over the course of the video Polk identifies a wrinkle in the sheet, paws at it, then manages to burrow under it and completely hide herself under the sheet, pulling her tail in after her.]

新しいスピーカーを買った。Polk Signature Elite ES55 マイカ強化ポリプロピレンを使ってる硬いコーン 弦楽器が鋭く低音がタイト。 エイジングにピンクノイズを30時間、その後小川のせせらきプレイリスト12時間ものを流してます。 ちょっとは柔らかな音になるかな。

[elvisvideos]

Managed to sync up the audio from this engagement to the video fairly well. Have a longer 5 minute video of this show which is silent. I tried syncing up the audio but because of the several cuts in the video and not knowing what the songs were would have made it extremely difficult and time consuming. I believe the song he sings after Sweet Caroline is Polk Salad Annie then I'm not sure. August 1971.

[deadpresidents]

James K. Polk was rare among Presidents in that he didn't just inherit slaves. Polk, like [Andrew] Jackson, actively -- but secretly -- bought slaves while President. Unlike Jackson, however, Polk didn't buy them in Washington, D.C., but secretly back down south. Why the secrecy? Because during his career, Polk straddled the lines between slaveholders and abolitionists, never completely joining either side. Polk was already a major slave owner when he became President but was very cautious about letting people know about his ownership of other people. Perhaps he was afraid of the American people -- especially abolitionists -- finding out that he was buying children. "Of the nineteen slaves Polk bought during his Presidency, one was ten years old, two were eleven, two were twelve, two were thirteen, two were fifteen, two were sixteen, and two were seventeen," said William Dusinberre, author of the great Slavemaster President: The Double Career of James Polk (BOOK | KINDLE). "Each of these children was bought apart from his or her parents and from every sibling. One or two of these children may possibly have been orphans, but it would strain credulity to suggest many of them were." So Polk, who needed more labor for his plantation, did what most rich politicians would do in his situation: he found a way to increase his personal wealth without his constituents finding out about it. He set up agents to buy the slaves in their names and then transferred them to his possession at home... ...He even made sure he had plausible deniability. Dusinberre noted that Polk -- living in a pre-Civil War America -- made sure that while he bought slaves in the White House, he never used his Presidential salary. "He used his savings from his salary to pay campaign debts, to buy and refurbish a mansion in Nashville, and to buy U.S. Treasury certificates, but never to buy slaves," Dusinberre said. "Evidently he distinguished (between) his private income -- from the plantation --(and) the public salary he received from government revenues. Thus, if the public had ever learned of his buying young slaves, he could always have truthfully denied that he had spent his Presidential salary for that purpose. Polk may have been careful about how he bought his slaves because he knew slavery was an evil institution. But Polk kept his slaves throughout his life and didn't even free them upon death, leaving that for his wife.

-- A closer look at the extent of President James K. Polk's record as a slave owner while he was in the White House, including a troubling tendency towards buying children and separating them from their families.

This excerpt is from Jesse J. Holland's excellent and very revealing book, The Invisibles: The Untold Story of African American Slaves in the White House (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO).

6 and 10 for the 2024 Reads in Review Asks, please?

referencing this post

6. Dead Dove Do Not Eat: Book you would recommend to a select audience with a mountain of caveats The Hourglass Throne by KD Edwards. The series in general, not just book three. It's Different and fun and the magic is unique but wowee mind those content warnings! And yeah I get WHY the author chose to include COVID in his world, but I still don't like it! And I don't have to like it. I still enjoyed it though. Dumbasses and loves of my life.

10. Sleeper Hit: Not a book that you have to force into people's hands, but well-executed Even Though I Knew the End by CL Polk. I'm still thinking about Them. The audio wasn't long, I could relisten to it if I wanted to there.s nothing stopping me. Also, Frostbite by Nicola Twilley! I don't usually read nonfiction, but I really enjoyed this! I didn't know modern refrigeration started in the Boston area! Not going to go out and tell people HEY READ THIS INDEPTH DIVE INTO THE HISTORY OF COLD BOXES but I mean. It was cool (pun intended).

[itcameuponamidnightqueer]

okay so it only took me a month after the end date to finish the summer bingo card from @queerliblib! yes, i could have kept going to fill out the rest of the squares, but that would have taken me til the end of the year at least. i really appreciate this challenge for the way it required me to look for books beyond what i gravitate toward naturally (short stories: not usually my thing!)

full list of marked off squares under the cut:

genre fiction: hearts still beating, brooke archer (zombies) coming of age: last night at the telegraph club, malinda lo comfort read: everyone i kissed since you got famous, mae marvel comic, manga, or graphic novel: becoming who we are: real stories about growing up trans, various artists/authors (collected by sammy lisel) memoir: how far the light reaches, sabrina imbler

poetry: space struck, paige lewis queer pulp fiction: i am a woman, ann bannon short story anthology: love after the end: an anthology of two-spirit and indigiqueer speculative fiction (collected by joshua whitehead)

format swap: the story of silence, alex myers (read as an ebook instead of audio) indigenous author: love after the end

main character doesn't share your identity: red, white, & royal blue: casey mcquiston lambda award winner or nominee: lavender house, lev a.c. rosen set in the past: even though i knew the end, c.l. polk

book with a protagonist older than 40: something to talk about, meryl wilsner set in the future: the long way to a small, angry planet, becky chambers
