One thing I absolutely respect about Matthew Broderick is that the man does not seem to take himself too seriously at all. After playing such an iconic role as Ferris Bueller I could easily see him becoming conceited. But no, he let the tables turn and played Principal Burr and he allowed himself to be the butt of the joke in his cameo as himself in Only Murders in the Building. That I can respect.

Hi K! I saw this TikTok yesterday (https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT21XXxV3/) and I kind of just wanted your take on the situation.

I’ve tried to briefly read what I could about the situation between Oscar and Alpine but you might be aware of more? I’m just wondering things like… was it mainly an Oscar decision? Do you think/know what was the catalyst for the move to McLaren was? How might it have affected Oscar when he first started f1 in 2023? Do you think it had an effect on Lando/Oscar getting to know each other early on for maybe the good or bad? I didn’t become an Oscar, landoscar, McLaren fan until 2024 so it’s all about out of reach for me. I would just love your opinion on things!

Sorry for the long ask!

bless your heart anon but i did not expect to open that link to an aaron burr song 😭

i'd love to discuss it more though!!! i kind of cover this in my oscar primer but i'm happy to delve into the alpine situation specifically. also i always like pointing to this article from when everything went down because i feel it summarizes the contract stuff pretty well! 

anyway, to begin with—oscar joined the rsa in 2020 because eurocup winners are automatically offered an academy spot, which means alpine never specifically "scouted" him (not that it matters for anything but just some context i guess). this is also when he met mark, who proved to be a fairly important main character in the contractual proceedings.

some background on alpine as a team is that... THEY'RE A JOKE!!! sorry. the problem with alpine actually is that renault has a sizable government stake in it which kind of restricts its vision / effectiveness / seriousness as a formula 1 outfit. honestly the problem with the french ladder itself is that it's WAY centralized in a way few other countries' are, which is why french drivers are kind of all Like That with one another (childhood sponsor trauma/ffsa drama. but that's neither here nor there). anyway in the case of oscar and many other juniors, alpine proved to be such a resounding failure at properly promoting them into actual f1 seats because it treats itself like a frontrunner while managing itself like and having the admin resources of an f4 team... hence the crb's involvement!

the main problem at the time was ceo laurent rossi, who joined alpine in 2021 with its branding overhaul and was like You Know What? Who Needs A TP! EYE can do all that!!!!!!! when he, in fact, could not do all that (ok exaggerating but they were running a "multi-pronged" leadership structure with him + multiple directors which is like... Fine if you HAVE A TEAM PRINCIPAL and then split the technical directors, like mclaren are doing under andrea. but they were just doing anything man. and it was kind of understood that rossi was pulling all the strings). also worth noting that he was the ceo of the alpine sportscar brand overall too and not just the f1 team lol. he would eventually appoint otmar to be the tp, but i will say that like he was 99% running things still and otmar was just his public-facing fall guy handling all of the media scrutiny and acting like the villain in the story. like yes he was the one calling out oscar on netflix and stuff but he had very little power in the grand of scheme of things.

anyway at the time, the director of the alpine academy was mia sharizman, who LOVED oscar lol and gassed him up in comparison to all the other juniors. he was a big part of the early academy overhaul in the first place, which is why they were able to create a generally robust testing program by the time rossi came into place, which i will say helped oscar massively in preparing for his time in f1. but he was already fired by the time crbgate happened sooo... rossi didn't really care about the academy at all, and his narrow-sighted business instincts heavily waylaid its potential and progress, and all of his poor decisions are also basically what directly ousted (THEE) prost from the outfit and turned him on alpine.

sorry this is getting so long but i do feel like you have to go back quite a bit to understand the failings in oscar's time at alpine LOL. anyway the REAL kicker of the story actually begins with esteban ocon: in 2021, rossi offered him a THREE-YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION?! it was literally a kneejerk "oh we have a french driver who's doing okay this year so let's sign him FOREVER" reaction and it would also unknowingly be the nail in the coffin of his time in f1. like to be clear, mia nurtured visions of buliding a robust renault junior program for years and years, and then they signed esteban and FERNANDO, but laurent (renault puppet) was like hmmm well we've got a french guy so let's make sure we hold onto him forever. hehe :P for the image :3c

so that's basically where the problem lies in 2022. oscar—surprise surprise—wins f2 as a rookie, leaving him with nothing to do that year, since neither esteban nor fernando can be replaced, guanyu gets the only open seat left, and he isn't about to go to indycar to get forgotten, which means his only option is to be alpine's reserve driver and do a lot of testing with them to get the feel of an f1 car. the thing is, though...... someone (i assume mark) also manages to negotiate that oscar be allowed to join mclaren's pool of reserve drivers alongside alpine's, just to give him a maximum number of opportunities during his sabbatical. alpine, being Oh So Magnanimous And Open-hearted, are like ok? whatever. what's the worst that can happen

so at this time fernando had a one-year contract extension for 2022, and would ostensibly be parting ways with the team in 2023 for oscar to take his place. the problem is, though, that alpine are like ermmm... but Fernando is Good. but we can't get rid of esteban >__< so what if we just stick oscar at williams for a few years and then maybe we can give him a seat in like 2025???? which is like. WHO IS GOING TO BE WAITING AROUND FOR AN ALPINE SEAT!!! YOU AREN'T PRE-FLOPPAGE MERCEDES. you aren't even POST-FLOPPAGE mercedes. My God. 

basically alpine really wanted to have their cake and eat it too. they were like, well fernando is good NOW but he's also kind of old, so let's give him a 1+1 and kind of hold him on a tight leash in case his performance suddenly falls of a cliff. of course, because laurent has an ego the size of france, he was like surely fernando will be begging to stay with us because who else will have him?! not like the man is a world champion who has standards.

but then seb retired and fernando saw the opportunity and immediately jumped ship to aston. LOL.

back to oscar for a moment: basically he had a contract as a 2022 reserve driver and they were working on writing a contract for his potential 2023 seat, which at the time was presumably going to be the williams seat (replacing goatifi). the catalyst for oscar, or really mostly mark who handled all of this, was that they were constantly ghosting him and missing deadlines and basically dicking him around. they had this one director of legal affairs who was essentially alpine's ENTIRE LEGAL DEPARTMENT and was under huge pressure from both sides as she tried to handle the situation with 0 support or documents being given to her from alpine. here's the bit from the article that explains exactly why oscar never had an actual seat in place, and why the crb unanimously ruled in oscar's favor:

This reserve deal was lodged with the CRB on March 14th, but did not feature any extension beyond December 31st for a potential race seat with Alpine. Piastri received this contract through his lawyers on March 15th, with Mercer stating that this was "an emergency measure" with the season starting just four days later, and no reserve driver agreement in place. Without a contract in place, Piastri could not be granted a super licence for his reserve position, which Mercer was aware of. With no other option, she was forced into treating the Terms Sheet of November 2021 as a binding contract, adding the words "legally binding Heads of Terms" to the document.

the actual catalyst came in may 2022, when alpine finally proposed (as i previously mentioned) the plan to be at williams for 2 years until he could join them in 2025. to be clear, again, there was never A williams contract, just a proposal/plan to get him one. mark was basically like well Fuck That?! so he immediately got into conversation with mclaren/seidl/whoever, and they signed a driving agreement for oscar with mclaren, with the understanding that he'd be a reserve driver but had a clause to be promoted if they bought out ricciardo's contract. yay! this is what the crb upheld as "valid and binding" in comparison to alpine's farce of a document. 

finally back to fernando, the reason this all went to the crb in the first place is that alpine NEVER intended to immediately promote oscar and were simply blindsided by seb's retirement and fernando's subsequent "betrayal." because they suddenly had a seat open, they were quick to scramble together an announcement for oscar's seat, without any consideration for the fact that he might have been shopping around for a better offer after being held in limbo by them for so long. like not only did they want to ship him off to williams—who weren't even particularly receptive to the idea of being an incubator for other teams' academies anymore—they'd already stuck him in the reserve role for all of 2022!!! after winning f3 and f2 as a rookie back-to-back! and they would only ever continue to not learn with the rest of their drivers!!! (e.g. doohan... not that doohan is anywhere near the same level of fumble/expected ceiling as oscar but still. so embarrassing to see their juniors just walking around the paddock being sky/f1 media puppets)

sorry this is SO LONG. 

your other questions. re: how it effected oscar coming into 2023, i do think that overall, having so much testing experience with an f1 car and being around an f1 outfit was fairly helpful, although i wouldn't overstate the impact his testing had on him either—he was running with a different team and using a car from different regs. i don't think it necessarily negatively impacted him, though; sure, people entertained the narrative that he had a TON of pressure on him from taking ricciardo's seat, but i honestly don't feel that mclaren ever created that kind of environment for him, and i think his expectations as a rookie were laid out pretty clearly from the get-go. oscar was probably just eager to prove himself, focus on driving, and move on from the drama of alpine.

i'd also say that his early relationship with lando was probably similar LOL :') i don't think lando really had any particular thoughts on the situation or about oscar himself other than like "well good riddance for you mate" and then they probably just forgot about it. there was a lot of misinformation at the time about oscar's situation with alpine, but he strikes me as a very "well /i/ know the truth so who cares" kind of guy.

god SORRY this is so long but i hope this helps T__T <3

thomas j. x reader

Modern, teacher au

REQ: @sam-aint-here “Two childhood friends that grew apart due to a big problem between them and became rivals. One of them moves away but later on meet each other as adults and slowly but surely fall in love”

Where Thomas Jefferson, the man you grew to hate in high school, returned from France and is the new English teacher in your department.

Warnings: swearing, bad writing (help)

Wc: 2.7k

The day was already off to a bad start.

You have a stomach ache, lesson plans to make, and a new teacher you have to welcome.

A knock sounded on your classroom door, snapping you out of your work. It gently pushed open, and Mr. Hamilton walked in, an exhausted smile on his face.

“Still hard at work, I see?” He leans against the door.

“I am, unless you’ve come to finish creating these plans for me,” you sigh, leaning back in the shitty rolling chair the school provides.

Alexander Hamilton was one of the other freshman English teachers in your department. There was supposed to be the arrival of a new guy today since Mr. Lee quit after an unfortunate series of events with the basketball coach and world history teacher, John Laurens. When Lee quit, no one other than Burr was upset because, well, no one really liked him. He was a whiny asshole who believed that no student deserves an A, which you heavily disagree with.

“I’ve been working on them, too.” Alex pushed up his glasses. “The meeting is starting soon, just to remind you. Walk with me?”

You purse your lips and nod, stretching your back before standing up. Alex grinned as you joined his side, and thus began the walk to the library where you’d be introduced to all the new teachers. There was only going to be the arrival of a handful of newbies: six, you recalled.

Orwell High school, the same school you graduated from eight years ago. It hasn’t changed one bit. The hallway leading up to the cafeteria still smells like boiled cabbage, the water fountain in the math hallway was still broken, Principal Washington still ran the place, and the courtyard still held the same feeling of distaste when memories of the incident resurfaced.

You forced your brain to forget that last one. It was in the past, and you haven’t thought about that day since you graduated.

“I can’t believe the school year is already starting again. I swear, it feels like summer just started,” you complain, marching down the stairs. Alex hums in agreement.

“Right? I just finished dealing with all the bullshit that happens in high school. Now we gotta do it all over again, new students, new staff…” He trails off as the library comes into view.

“Let’s hope to God our new coworker isn’t insufferable,” you murmur, causing Alex to snicker as he pushes the doors open.

You both quietly find a seat at one of the back tables, some other teachers piling in. The choir director, Maria Reynolds, winked at Alex as she sat down a few seats in front of you.

“Oh, god, don’t tell me you’re still putting up with her,” a snarl of disgust overtakes your features.

Alex shrugs, “I’ve told her that I’m not interested. I have Eliza, she knows that. I’m not sure what else I can do.”

“Fucking report her—“

“Alright! It seems that everyone is here, so let’s get this started,” Washington’s booming voice silenced you. A light glare was shot Alex’s way, but he kept his eyes trained forward, even if he could feel your disapproving stares.

“First and foremost, welcome back everyone! And welcome new teachers. I hope everyone had a great summer break, and this new year is going to be very promising for all. Now, for a brief overview of school policy—“ you stopped listening from there.

None of it was new. He said this every year on the day before school officially starts: be respectful to other teachers and students, follow the laws and school rules, put in grades on time. Boring stuff, if you ask me.

A bored sigh left your lips, and your eyes carelessly wandered around the room in search of unfamiliar faces. The back of someone’s head caught your attention. Dark, thick curly hair that looked well-kept piqued your interest in whoever owned them, and you leaned forward to try and grab a glimpse of his face.

Unfortunately, he was turned with his back on you, and it was impossible to see anything other than a snippet of his nose. You studied the rest of his build—broad shoulders and muscular biceps filled out the dark magenta polo, making your stomach flutter in excitement with who this new employee is.

The meeting droned on and on, and you kept your gaze fixed on this mystery man. ‘Please let him be the new English teacher. And please let him be hot.’

Alex nudged you, raising an eyebrow. “The meeting is over,” he said.

“Oh. Right, yeah,” you blinked, glancing at that guy one last time before standing up. “I guess let’s head back upstairs? The new guy is moving his stuff into Lee’s old classroom, right?”

Alex nods, starting to make his way to the door. You scanned the room once more for the magenta-polo man, but he had disappeared. So you shrugged it off and walked upstairs with Hamilton.

“I’m gonna check if he’s in there. You coming?” Alex grins, nodding to the door.

“Yes, I am not introducing myself alone. Wait, one last thing—“ you grabbed his shoulder and he gave you a puzzled look. “If he’s hot,” you lowered your voice to barely above a whisper, “and single, help me out here.”

Alexander laughed out an agreement, and a grin cracked on the seriousness of your face. He gently knocked three times, and a deep “come in” sounded behind the door. He pushed it open, and holy shit it was magenta polo shirt. He was bent over at his desk, frantically writing something down. His hair covered his face, so you couldn’t make out any features, but damn he was built. ‘Please, God, let him be single. I need this.’ You thought.

“You must be the new English teacher,” Alexander spoke.

“That would be me,” he finished writing and set down his pen, finally looking up.

Oh.

Oh no.

“Thomas Jefferson?” You seethed. No fucking way Thomas was the guy you’ve been ogling since the meeting. He was seriously the new teacher you’d have to work with, all year?

He blinked in surprise at hearing his name, and when he recognized it was you, his ex-best-friend-turned-enemy, the previous calmness he wore turned into bitterness. “Y/n,” he muttered darkly. “It’s been a while.”

“Yeah. It has.” You replied shortly, crossing your arms. Alex wore a confused look, glancing between you and Thomas.

“Wait, I’m confused, how do you two know each other?” He asked, his eyes pleading you to tell him what the fuck was going on.

“We used to be friends. Then in sophomore year he decided that I was actually a loser and social outcast, so he stopped talking to me.”

“—That is not what fucking happened and you know it,” Thomas seethed, slamming his hands on his desk. You flinched before collecting yourself. ‘Stand your ground, Y/n.’

“Well, I’d never really know because you wouldn’t fucking speak to me!” You narrow your eyes at him.

“Okay, let’s take a deep breath,” Alex tried to mitigate the growing argument, putting a hand on your shoulder and pulling you outside. He shut the door behind you, and a frustrated groan escaped you.

Alex looked at you like you were insane. “What happened between you two?”

You sighed, letting your arms fall to your side. “It’s a long story. I’ll tell you later.”

He frowned, not satisfied with the poor excuse you offered. “Okay. Over pizza, maybe?”

Despite all the bubbling emotions of distaste and anger and disappointment rising inside you, a grin cracked your facade. “That would be nice. I miss Eliza. Can we go to yours?”

“Of course,” he mumbled. Alex was so good at calming you down whenever you got heated, despite him being one of the most foul-tempered people you know. Just look at him and Seabury. Everyone knows they hate each other. But you figured through those experiences, he’s able to look at others and determine the best course of action. For you it was to get you out of that situation and calmed down.

“Do you think if we went back in you’d be okay? You don’t have to talk, just stand there with me,” Alex asked.

You considered it for a moment. You could control your actions, and you could control your response, but you couldn’t control what Thomas would decide to do. But then again, if he was snarky and you just stayed silent, it might be a mind-fuck and get him to apologize for once.

“I’ll try,” you nod.

Alex smiles and gives you a reassuring pat on the shoulder before walking back into Thomas’s new classroom. He was standing with his hands on his hips, a deep scowl on his lips. His eyes snapped to the door opening, and almost immediately his deep brown ones met yours.

A thin, awkward line formed on your lips. You stayed silent, studying him and comparing the differences of his highschool self to his 26-year-old form. He grew out his beard and hair, and did he work out? Cause when did his chest become so defined?

“Okay, let’s try this again. I’m Alexander Hamilton,” Alex grinned nervously, trying to lighten the mood, “I’m aware that you are well-versed with another, but we have high hopes for the school year! Uhh—yeah, if you need help with anything, we, or I, can help you. Okay let’s go—“ Alex let out a long breath after his rant. Both you and Thomas were dead silent, keeping eye contact that held unresolved feelings of hate while Alex rambled on.

Alex dragged you out of the classroom, and while you trailed out, you felt the lingering stare of Thomas Jefferson.

How had this day gotten so much worse?

—

“Tell. Me. Everything.” Alex and Eliza waited expectantly, both of them munching on a slice of Papa John’s pepperoni pizza.

A sheepish smile formed on your face. “So, Thomas and I have known each other since elementary. We were best friends all throughout middle school and freshman year, but when sophomore year hit it was…different. At first, he started blowing me off to go hang with some of his guy friends. Fine, whatever, it’s cool. Guys need their space, y’know? Then he started ignoring my calls and texts completely. I thought he was mad at me, so I decided to confront him after school. He was in the courtyard waiting for his bus, and I asked him why he’s been avoiding me. He told me—“ you paused.

“He told me that I was a really shitty friend for doing what I did, and said that I take him as a joke. I asked him to elaborate but he never did, he just told me he heard what people were saying and that we shouldn’t continue our friendship. I later found out that there was a rumor going around about me, that for some fucking reason he believed. He was convinced I was trying to ruin his chances at a scholarship, and after that we just…clashed. We couldn’t agree on anything ever, we fought constantly, we just started hating each other. Which, it was weird because it seemed so sudden. Like at one moment everything was fine, then the next he was sticking gum in my hair and lying to the teacher that I cheated on my test. It was so…ugh. And I’ll never forget the stares in the hallways. He was so much more popular than I, he got everyone turned against me, and I didn’t really have many friends after it all. Then in junior year, he moved to France and I never saw him again. Until today.”

Eliza and Alex stared at you in shock. You had never mentioned this part about highschool when you talked about being a student at Orwell High. Their shock dissipated into guilt, and Eliza outstretched her hand to take yours.

You inhaled sharply in their silence, an awkward, airy laugh escaping you. “Wow, that was a lot. I haven’t told anyone about that. Ever,” you admit.

“I’m so sorry that happened to you,” she said. You shrugged.

“It's fine. What happened, happened. I can’t change the past now.”

Alex furrowed his eyebrows, visible anger building on his face. “No, it’s not fine. That sounds traumatic. Y/n, whatever happens with him this year, we’ll be here for you, okay? Just from hearing this I already hate him.”

“Don’t—don’t hate him because of my past experiences.” You interject.

“But you hate him, don’t you?”

You bit your tongue. “Well…yes, but that doesn’t mean you should. It’s not fair to him, he’s gonna have to work with us and it would really suck if we made it as hard as possible on him because of me.”

“Exactly,” Alex smiled. “Do you think he considered the fairness of it all when he turned everyone on you?”

“No, he didn’t,” you blinked.

Yes, you did hate Thomas. But you didn’t want him to suffer at a new school because his coworkers have bad blood with him. Imagine how stressful that would be?

“I’m not saying we have to do anything drastic,” Alex reassures, “but I’m just saying that we should push him around a little. So he knows what it feels like, y’know?”

You swallowed thickly. “Okay,” you acquiesce. “Nothing too mean, though.”

Alex puts his hands up in defense. “Right, nothing mean. We’re just gonna let him know that he can’t push you around.”

“Are you sure this is a good idea, Alex?” Eliza pipes up, a small frown on her face. She had taken her hand off of yours a while ago.

“Darling, when have I ever had bad ideas?” He scoffs. You shoot him a light glare. Maria Reynolds, remember? He fucking flirted with her one day and ever since then, she’s been on him and smiling seductively. It was gross and horribly wrong.

Eliza sighed. “Okay. Don’t let it get out of hand.”

“We would never.” Alex winks at you.

You’re not sure how okay you are with this idea. Although you know that Hamilton has a bad habit of trying to ruin whomever wrongs him, like what he did with Lee and Seabury, it struck you as immoral. Eliza pointing that out definitely didn’t help with the fact you’d be going with it anyway.

I mean, there’s nothing like the taste of sweet sweet revenge, right?

—

Thomas hadn’t been expecting to see you again. Not after everything he put you through in high school.

The moment you and Hamilton left his classroom, he was filled with all kinds of guilt, and you pointing out that he shunned you away didn’t help him. He felt like a total asshole, and to some extent he was.

But you seemed unforgiving. He could tell from the constant look of disgust in your eyes, your body language and your words that you were not the same person from high school. Shit, your entire look changed. You styled your hair differently and he’d be lying if he said it didn’t suit you perfectly, your face and body matured, and you looked gorgeous. There was no point in denying simple facts.

However, you carried the grief from highschool with you. And he hadn’t meant for it to affect you so harshly. At one moment, he had a controlled story of why he stopped being friends with you. At the next, everyone was laughing about you behind your back, and he couldn’t stop it. It was out of his hands the moment his then-girlfriend decided to start another rumor about you.

And before he could apologize or make right, his parents forced him to pack up and learn French.

That’s where he spent the rest of his highschool and college career. France was wonderful and all, but it wasn’t the same. His girlfriend and his friends weren’t there, his home wasn’t there, and deep down the most important factor is that you weren’t there.

He missed you so fucking much. And he knew how bad it was the moment he lashed out on you that day in the courtyard. But he was young and irrational, and he threw away his most valuable friendship because a pretty girl told him to.

But hey, you’re both adults now. A fresh new start if you could put it all behind you. He just hoped that when he apologizes, you’ll accept it.

"At this moment of looking at Col B on the discharge of G H’s pistol he perceived a slight motion in his person, which induced the idea of his being struck. On this point he conversed with his principal on their return, who ascribed that circumstance to a small stone under his foot, & observed that the smoke of G Hs pistol obscured him for a moment in the interval of their firing."

I love the way it doesn't seem to have occurred to anyone that Burr might have flinched.

Princess Luna slitted her eyes and laid her ears back as she asked in a tone too mild to be safe for any that her anger was directed to, “Chest lineament and a day off at half pay for a colt with pneumonia? Rent up twenty bits put you at a hardship? Impre Sario was that rude to you both?”

Both Foamy and Clarice nodded. “That's right, Your Highness.”

Suddenly Celestia broke out in a chuckle as she commented, “That explains why he hasn't put on any ballets except The Singing Swan, The Dance of the Sweet Peach Breezy and the Awakening of the Dragon! They are all not only Public Domain, they are widely used as recital pieces for ballet schools! Every dancer knows them!”

Luna, however, was boring in on a different issue entirely! “Foamy, I got your request and gave Impre a benefice for two weeks off at full pay and for up to ten thousand gold in horsepital expenses with an extention if needed. Both were cashed at EQNB with signatures that matched the sample cards.

“Clarice, I have been paying top scale by benefice, which, like Foamy's were all signed to match the sample cards, as required when cashing Royal Benefices.”

Foamy snorted, “Afraid not, Your Highness. Impre always gave us pay packets with coins. None of the troupe, stage hands, set builders or painters, ever saw a benefice. Frankly, we don't trust EQNB at all. We do all of our banking here at Ponyville Trust and Loan. With Grumpy Goat on the Board of Directors, we know that it is dead honest!”

Princess Twilight snickered, “Dead Honest about perfectly describes Grumpeter! Good choice for banking too! All of the Principality banking is done there at PTL. PTL's got over ten times more in liquid assets than EQNB. That's why this Principality is so prosperous.”

Kin added to the mix a bit by offering, “What Foamy and Clarice just told you guys is spot on.”

Foamy and Clarice were not to be deterred from their initial goal, “Now that that's covered, about these dances! Kin, if you can do to us what you did to them,” she pointed at AJ, Rarity and Pinkie, “it would really help us to score these dances. We want to learn to choreograph them properly.

“We really like Princess Twilight's suggestion. It will let us add these dynamite dances to the show without having to work up a new main stage dance and sets. We only need to hang backrop and wings curtains that I know that we already have.”

Pinkie, to call attention, made a metalic BURR by doing a bust shimmy in her coin decorated dancing bra, and stated flatly, “We need Red and Sweet Lawn in on this. I'll bet that they could do backdrops that will really make the dancers stand out! Candy might have some good ideas too! You guys have seen her genius at costume design! I'd lay money on her fixing up something in these dances that would work for pegassi!”

That was when Twilight's mirror sounded a warbling tone!

“What is it, Captain Ranbow Dash?”

“We have some lard butt who claims to be from Canterlot Castle and in charge of the gala! He set off alarms trying to open the locked stage doors! He wants to dump all of Pinkie's scenery into the street to make room for HIS scenery that is on the train coming from Canterlot. He claims that the show will be a ballet called 'The Singing Swan'!”

Celestia chuckled, “Speaking of evil will draw it to you!”

Princess Luna interrupted, “Rainbow, this is Luna. If that lard butt is named Impre Sario, put him on!”

A dusty orange unicorn came to the mirror. He snapped, “Whatever your business, make it quick! I have only a few days to get this fundraiser gala organized!”

“Impre! Look at who you are talking to! YOU have no part in this show!”

“I don't care if you are this pipsqueek local so called Princess! My authority is directly from the Princesses Celestia and Luna! They outrank everypony in this kingdom! I AM IN CHARGE HERE.”

“I am afraid not, Impre. By the Joint Royal Order of Princess Luna, Princess Celestia and Princess Twilight Sparkle, you are removed from ALL responsibility connected to any show or event whatsoever.

“Guard Captain Rainbow Dash, by the authority just referred to, place Impre Sario under Royal Arrest. Cap his horn and put him into a cell until it shall be our Joint Pleasure to see to his case. For a holding charge, put embezzlement of 10,500 golden bits and forgery of a Royal Benefice for personal gain.”

The pony in the mirror was utterly aghast! “You can't do this! I have served you for years!”

Celestia put her horn into the conversation, “We are aware of that, Impre. We are putting the RIS on your case this very morning. While we were speaking to friends recently, I had occasion to look at Foamy's signature card at EQNB. It is a right handed signature. The problem is simple. Foamy is LEFT handed. The Royal Benefice that was cashed for her sick foal Barrel Racer's horsepitalization matched the card. She did not get the money. Luna has verified that by Bridge of Dream.

“If you do not cooperate in your arrest, our Joint Order is for you to be slain where you stand. All clear? No need to like it. Just cooperate or die.”

Foamy, overhearing the conversation was dropjawed! “Kill Impe! I know that he's a jerk, but death?”

Luna smiled but there appeared to be literal fire in her eyes! “Foamy, dear, what he did to you was only the tiniest tip of a very big iceberg. We won't know until the Royal Intelligence Service report is done, but it appears that he was hijacking around a half to two thirds of the ENTIRE Royal Ballet budget. There may be more besides. He did many fundraising events.”

This sounds like a good compromise but how many school systems in the USA have the extra money to build extra bathrooms and locker rooms? What programs would be cut to support this? ….. Unless the TQ+ community can help with the fundraising.

Princeton Middle School principal supportive of request

A gender-neutral locker room for LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) students may be in the works at the Princeton Middle School.

Two eighth grade students – Indie and Jules – rolled out their request for a gender-neutral locker room with five bathroom stalls and five showers before the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education meeting Feb. 21.

“Transgender and non-binary teens face a greater risk of sexual assault in schools that prevent them from using bathrooms or locker rooms consistent with their gender identity,” Indie said.

Jules, who participated in the presentation, said Princeton Middle School students who were interviewed anonymously favored a gender-neutral locker room. Students’ comments were included in the presentation.

One of the anonymous students said the middle school prides itself on being accepting and inclusive of all types of students, but many students do not feel comfortable changing in the two gender-specific locker rooms at the school.

“I think that (a gender-neutral locker room) would be an important step in the right direction to make students feel more comfortable at Princeton Middle School,” the anonymous student said.

“I personally identify as genderqueer and I know this would make me feel more comfortable being in this school. It would make me feel more welcome here as a student,” the anonymous interviewee said.

When another unnamed student was asked about the benefits of a gender-neutral locker room, the student replied that all students should have the same facilities and the right to take a shower.

The gender-neutral bathrooms, which is where many gender-nonconforming people change, do not have a shower, the anonymous student said.

“There is a chance that when you go to change (in the gender-neutral bathroom), someone will be using the bathroom. It is especially uncomfortable if you are wet and drippy and cold and in your bathing suit,” the student said.

Indie suggested converting the women’s team room into a gender-neutral locker room.

“The plan would be to have five bathroom stalls and five showers,” Indie said. “It might be possible for the school district to apply for a grant to make the locker room handicapped accessible.”

School board president Dafna Kendal praised the students for their presentation. When she asked about the reaction from Princeton Middle School Principal Jason Burr, guidance counselor Sharon DiSebastian said Burr was supportive of the request.

School board members Betsy Baglio, Deborah Bronfeld and Jean Durbin thanked the students for bringing the issue to the school board’s attention.

“I appreciate your advocacy. You are solution-oriented. You are already thinking about grants. This is a great first step,” Baglio said.

Bronfeld said she is excited for the school board to take the next step.

Kendal said the proposal should be sent to the school board’s Operations Committee, which is co-chaired by school board members Brian McDonald and Susan Kanter.

“This is something the school board supports. It’s awkward enough to be in middle school in a bathing suit, and even worse if you are standing in the hallway (waiting to get into a gender-neutral bathroom),” Kendal said.

Kanter said the request for a gender-neutral locker room would be added to the Operations Committee’s agenda.

“We are looking forward to getting back to you. We might have a few further questions. We appreciate you coming to us,” Kanter said.

Who is the worst founding father? Round 2: Robert Livingston vs George Mason

Robert Robert Livingston (November 27, 1746 (Old Style November 16) – February 26, 1813) was an American lawyer, politician, and diplomat from New York, as well as a Founding Father of the United States. He was known as "The Chancellor" after the high New York state legal office he held for 25 years. He was a member of the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence, along with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Roger Sherman. Livingston administered the oath of office to George Washington when he assumed the presidency April 30, 1789. Livingston was also elected as a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1801.

Livingston, a member of a large and prominent family, was known for continually quarreling with his relatives.

In 1789, Livingston joined the Jeffersonian Republicans (later known as the Democratic-Republicans), forming an uneasy alliance with his previous rival George Clinton and Aaron Burr, then a political newcomer. Livingston opposed the Jay Treaty and other initiatives of the Federalist Party, founded and led by his former colleagues Alexander Hamilton and John Jay. He ran for governor of New York as a Democratic-Republican, unsuccessfully challenging incumbent governor John Jay in the 1798 election.

George Mason (December 11, 1725 [O.S. November 30, 1725] – October 7, 1792) was an American planter, politician, Founding Father, and delegate to the U.S. Constitutional Convention of 1787, one of three delegates present who refused to sign the Constitution. His writings, including substantial portions of the Fairfax Resolves of 1774, the Virginia Declaration of Rights of 1776, and his Objections to this Constitution of Government (1787) opposing ratification, have exercised a significant influence on American political thought and events. The Virginia Declaration of Rights, which Mason principally authored, served as a basis for the United States Bill of Rights, of which he has been deemed a father.

Mason prepared the first draft of the Virginia Declaration of Rights in 1776, and his words formed much of the text adopted by the final Revolutionary Virginia Convention. He also wrote a constitution for the state; Thomas Jefferson and others sought to have the convention adopt their ideas, but they found that Mason's version could not be stopped. During the American Revolutionary War, Mason was a member of the powerful House of Delegates of the Virginia General Assembly, but to the irritation of Washington and others, he refused to serve in the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, citing health and family commitments.

Mason routinely spoke out against slavery, even before America's independence. In 1773, he wrote that slavery was "that slow Poison, which is daily contaminating the Minds & Morals of our People. Every Gentlemen here is born a petty Tyrant." In 1774, he advocated ending the international slave trade.

However, Mason owned many slaves. In Fairfax County, only George Washington owned more, and Mason is not known to have freed any, even in his March 1773 will ultimately transcribed into the Fairfax County probate records in October 1792 (the original was then lost).

How do you create a cult?

You stay awake for 24+ hours and slowly lose yourself to the hallucinations, blasting ‘nonstop’ from the Hamilton musical. 

Or at least that's how I accidentally wrote a manifesto for my friend group when we were bullied and wanted to bring these ‘Demand essays’ to our junior high’s principal. Make a change or something along those lines. 

Sometimes I wonder if I could rewrite the manifesto.

But that's insane.

Or is it...

Bah- I’m kidding to some degree. However, I miss writing like I was ��Running out of time” or pretending to be Arron Burr when listening to the Hamilton soundtrack. Those were the days, innocent in nature, definitely traumatized at an early age. 

Curiously I ponder a new thought, have any of you done what I’ve done to fit in but did it in a ‘I want my friends to be cheered up by my insanity cause they thought it was hilarious’ kinda fit in?

Epilogue: The Sharpener.

The Prophet uses the term "and it came to pass" multiple times in the Chapters of the Book of Mormon to the point of monotony.

This was not for lack of words or terminology. The Mishnah "and it came to pass" has a Number of 584, החד‎ ‎ ‎, "a sharpener" which means each bit that is preceded by "and it came to pass" is like a gear that turns but cannot be turned the other way. There is no way to sin and repent and go forward, to the Atonement, which in this case at the sharpest means as the Prophet said:

In the Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 1:5,7 states that the promised land will be a land of liberty and not a land of oppression if the inhabitants serve the Lord according to his commandments. 

We are not, apparently whet enough for that yet. Maybe someday soon. But we could start by rehearsing the principals and the laws we would like to say we believe in wholeheartedly enough to practice them.

So it came to pass means we Americans, according to the Prophet do eventually solidify and real human beings and practice as the President preached.

About passing, which is a process of whetting and cutting, the etymology states:

"The root שנן (shanan) speaks of repetition or the creation of distance between elements, often preceded by a breaking apart, and followed by a removal or even storage.

Verb שנן (shanan) means to sharpen, and sharpening is achieved by removing material by repeatedly stroking a blade against a whetstone. This verb is also used in the sense of sharpening a mind by repeating the same exercise. Noun שן (shen) means tooth. Noun שנינה (shenina) denotes a "sharp" word; a taunt.

Verb שנה (shana) means to change or create a difference — of one's mind, or one's clothes, and this mostly through repetition. Noun שנה (shana) means year.

Perhaps formally separate but obviously related, or else the very same verb שנה (shana) means to repeat or reoccur. Noun שנים (shenayim) or שתים (shetayim) is the common word for two or a pair. Adjective שני (sheni) or שנית (shenit) means second and noun משנה (misneh) means second, double, or copy. Noun שנאן (shin'an) is used as a superlative in figures of speech (i.e. expressions like double-down, super-double-good).

Noun שני (shani) denotes the color purple. This noun might formally derive from a third wholly separate verb of unclear meaning but obviously reminds of the many times a garment has to be dipped in dye to have its color changed.

Verb ישן (yashen) means to sleep, which seems to indicate that the ancients related one's daily activities to a forward stroke of one's mental blade against the whetstone of life, whereas sleep counted as the trailing stroke backward and removal of the burr. Adjective ישן (yashen) means sleeping or sleepy, and is obviously similar to its sibling noun ישן (yashen), which means old. Nouns שנה (shena), שנא (shena') and שנת (shenat) mean sleep.

Verb שנא (sane') is commonly translated with to hate but actually lacks the angry emotion that our English word conveys. It rather means to reject, create distance from and send away. Adjective שניא (sani') means hated (i.e. the hated wife), and noun שנאה (sin'a) means a hating or hatred, which comes down to a separating or a sending away."

We need to send the hatred away. Pray, send the hate away, and away may it stay.
