Back To Friends II - Chris Sturniolo

summary: chris keeps leaving and you finally let him. but somehow, that’s what breaks him.

warnings: written in 3rd person we're spicing things up round here!!! angst, no happy ending, two of three parts.

part 1 part 2 part 3

wc: 460

Chris drives home in silence.

The city blurs past, buildings, lights, people. It’s all meaningless noise behind the echo in his chest. Her voice still rings in his head.

“Then maybe stop crawling into my bed every time you miss me.”

She didn’t yell. That’s what gutted him most. She didn’t beg him to stay, didn’t ask him what it meant, didn’t even cry.

She just said it like she meant it.

Like it hurt too much to keep letting him leave.

At a red light, he grips the steering wheel, knuckles white. The imprint of her body still lingers on his skin, the warmth of her against him, the way she sighed when she thought he was asleep.

And he hates himself for leaving.

But he’s worse when he stays.

11:42 am

His phone buzzes. A text from a mutual friend:

“Hey, coming to the party tonight? She’ll be there.”

He stares at the screen. Doesn't reply. Instead, opens her contact, still saved as just her name.

No heart. No emoji. No inside joke. 

Just her.

The last text between them?

Y/n: Let me know if you get home safe. Chris: I will.

He never did.

He locks the phone, shoving it face down.

7:28 pm

He goes to the party anyway. Doesn’t know why. Maybe to prove he’s fine. Maybe to see her. Maybe to see if she looks like she regrets it, too.

She does, but not in the way he hoped.

She’s across the room, laughing. That loud, unfiltered kind of laugh that used to be his favourite. He watches her hug someone else, let someone touch her arm, lean in close to say something.

He takes a long drink.

And when her eyes flicker to him, just for a second, something shifts. Her smile falters. Just a crack. Barely there.

But he sees it.

And it destroys him.

He slips outside. Lights a cigarette even though he quit last year. Anything to feel something else.

Footsteps behind him. Then her voice.

"Do you always leave like that? Or is it just with me?"

He doesn’t turn around.

"Would it have been better if I stayed?"

She lets out a sharp laugh. "You stayed the night before. Didn’t seem to change anything."

He looks over his shoulder now. And she notices he's standing there in that same oversized hoodie she threw at him, like he didn’t mean to wear it but also maybe he did.

"I don’t know how to be near you without wanting more" he says, honest, raw and tired.

"Then stop pretending we can be friends" she replies. "Just because you can lie to yourself. Doesn’t mean I can."

And with that, she walks back inside.

He stays outside until the cigarette burns to the filter.

a/n: this song is gonna kill me istg

Dottore was many things, and none of them was the type to give up.

Sitting in his lab, his fingers tinkered away with the robot in front of him, mumbling under his breath as he connected this wire to that; he knew how to make himself, he knew the ins and outs of his own anatomy and behavior but this? He was creating something brand new, something he had to get right.

The body had to be sculpted correctly, all those little flaws and things he adored etched into the artificial skin, its nails trimmed the right length and those lips painted the perfect colour.

The hair had to be silky, soft, the type he had taken to know by feeling it with his hands, feeling it against his skin. He had spent many sleepless nights perfecting the texture and colour before he put it on the head of the robot, now protected by silk as he worked away at the inner mechanisms.

It was hard work making sure something would work, something would breathe. It was hard work making sure that to the normal person, nobody would notice anything was different about the so-called human in front of them. If they were perceptive, on the other hand, they would probably hear that there may be whirling of gears, that there may be a robot moving inside of the flesh suit that he had created.

If any had noticed it about his segments, none had asked.

But compared to his segments, compared to him, this new body would run on something new, something exciting. The vision glowed in his hands, its owner not too far off nearby, as he pried it from its ruined vision holder. The frame was in pieces, never to be used again as he placed the vision inside of the robot's chest, hearing the mechanics roar to life as he shut the chest.

Artificial eyes open, staring into his own. Your lovely hues of colour blinked once, twice before sitting up. "Why...?" You muttered softly, looking around the laboratory before him. Good, it seems that you didn't remember anything prior to the accident. "Doctor, why am I here?"

"You collapsed while in the hall, I simply brought you in to recover." He said, his voice perfectly rehearsed as he helped you from the table, watching the way your new legs wobbled and groaned under the weight. It would get better as your metal frame got used to moving, got used to being a robot.

"Thank you..."

As timid as the day he met you, his smile could only grow. The body that lay comatose behind closed doors was boring, not much to play with.

But you? He was going to enjoy breaking you all over again.

A hilarious article about the bashing of the Momoro couple

I came across a "historical" article that's too funny and takes itself way too seriously 😂. It's called Citizen Marie Françoise Joséphine FOURNIER (Sophie Momoro), agent of the Public Safety Committee ( true tittle La Citoyenne MOMORO, Marie Françoise Joséphine FOURNIER (1766-1808), Agent du Comité de Salut Public ?). Just the title already reeks of bad faith (though not as much as Historia's title Robespierre the Legalistic Psychopath XD).

Besides claiming that Antoine-François Momoro, from the beginning of the Revolution (1789), "ugly and brutal, made a name for himself by welcoming into his printing house all the manufacturers of libels and defamatory pamphlets" — the fact that he was ugly, I honestly don't care about. However, in 1789, he was actually quite cautious, to the point that he had an argument with Camille Desmoulins, who complained about Momoro in a letter to his father. So no, he only became more active after the king’s flight, and from there, he evolved from a cautious man into someone willing to die for his convictions by 1794.

Let’s move on to the next excerpt: "Quickly, he used his position to get some people removed from lists in exchange for a comfortable sum of assignats. He charged a high price for his signature and soon amassed a fortune of 80,000 pounds, despite previously being in debt." Then there's a bit about his wife, Marie-Françoise FOURNIER, supposedly an ex-marquise, said to be "quite ugly with a fishwife’s voice and horrible teeth" (Memoirs on the Prisons - 1823). She supposedly directed emigrants to her husband to make them pay, and the couple allegedly displayed scandalous luxury during a revolutionary time that advocated equality for all.

This is the best part of the year! At one point, I thought they were talking about the Tallien couple in Bordeaux, but no, it's the Momoro couple being discussed.

Now, here’s the inventory report from the commissioners who seized their property at Momoro’s mother’s house, which supposedly proves their luxurious lifestyle: “Today, 11 Germinal, Year II of the Republic, at eleven in the morning, we, Jean François Denisot, member of the General Council of the Besançon district, appointed by order of the same district to affix seals at the home of the mother of the named Momoro, who has just been executed in Paris, and with François-Joseph Bernard as our secretary, went to the home of citizen Forno, a war commissioner, where the said Momoro was a cook. We asked citizen Forno to show us the room of the said Momoro, to which she replied that she had died the previous night but was ready to show us the room she occupied." The total assets were: "an old armchair and a small mirror, 26 livres, 17 sols, 460 assignats, a crucifix, a gold ring... a small fir box, and a small bag filled with various papers." Seems trustworthy to me, but feel free to decide for yourself. In fact, the couple's only real wealth was their workshop and printing presses. I say “theirs” because in her husband's absence, Sophie managed the business, it seem that she acting as interim boss 😉 And honestly the revolutionary men would not have been as effective in my opinion without their wives,sisters,etc... Although they would have remained active (I think Condorcet would have been less effective without Sophie de Grouchy, the same for Roland without his wife Manon, Camille Desmoulins without Lucile Desmoulins would have been less effective in my opinion, the same for Momoro without Sophie or Jean Paul Marat without Simone Evrard and Albertine Marat, etc....)

Also, the claim about taking money to remove people from lists is a big red flag, considering their well-known political activities. Sophie wasn’t even an ex-marquise, though she came from a wealthy family of printers. The article contradicts itself by saying they got married during the Revolution when it’s well-known they married before it. As for Sophie’s so-called ugliness, it was described by people who were hostile to Momoro, making it highly questionable (like the unreliable informer Laboureau, who mocked her appearance after accusing her husband). Not to mention, she didn’t have lovers, contrary to what the article claims. It was only after she remarried Jacques Marie Botot and following his disgrace in the army after Bonaparte's coup that he became bitter against her and she ended up having a lover, who didn’t marry her, though he did recognize their daughter.

Some claim that Momoro forced his wife to play the role of the Goddess of Reason. However, knowing her character, she would not have hesitated to divorce him, as she did with her second husband (in Napoleonic times, when divorce was even more difficult). Signs suggest she shared her husband's ideas (she even mimicked his writing style when she wrote a petition to the Assembly for help). She also shared his views on the Vendée according to a letter of Momoro and accompanied him on his mission there, making it more likely she agreed with or wanted to participate in the de-Christianization campaign. Additionally, the letters Momoro sent to his wife, while brief and not fiery love letters, showed care for her (I think he loved her but was one of those people who had trouble showing affection in public—more of a shy love).

The article's claim that Momoro manipulated the trial to his advantage is also false. He remained dignified but, when he wanted to write a defense, Ronsin reportedly told him not to bother since it was a political trial and they were all doomed anyway. In fact, it was Ronsin and Vincent who defended themselves vigorously, but ineffectively.

Finally, the article tries to argue that Sophie Momoro was a royalist and that’s why she was released after two months. Here’s the excerpt: “Later, at his trial, Fouquier-Tinville answered the President of the Tribunal, who asked why he acquitted citizen Momoro in May 1794: ‘Citizen Momoro, thanks to her connections at the Temple, informed royalists about the son of Capet,’ Fouquier-Tinville replied." Once again, there’s no proof for this claim. Moreover, the arrests and subsequent releases or, sadly, executions of revolutionaries' wives often seemed random ( except Charlotte Robespierre or her time of liberation which came quickly I am not surprised, do not take this for bashing of Charlotte Robespierre, I have already expressed myself on this subject), as shown in this post by @anotherhumaninthisworld on Tumblr https://www.tumblr.com/anotherhumaninthisworld/761989542352945152/do-you-happen-to-know-how-often-it-occurred-for?source=share

In any case, if the Momoro couple were truly royalist agents with hidden treasures, I propose we give them a posthumous Oscar for Best Actors. I’ll contact Hollywood immediately.

It’s a shame though—if the article really wanted to bash Momoro, they could’ve mentioned his terrible proposal by letter to burn forests in the Vendée (knowing how serious it was), his dubious allies in Paris like Carrier, or how he proposed harsher measures on suspected counter-revolutionaries toward the end. See, I’m a good sport 😛, and I’m even offering suggestions on how to criticize ( or even bashing ) one of my favorite revolutionaries. After all, I do the same with other revolutionary figures, so it’s only fair that others get to do it with my favorite characters—but at least use credible sources, or else we risk spouting nonsense! XD

P.S: The article was written by Didier Duval as part of « the Cercle d’études historiques sur la question de Louis XVII » . There are other false things like the fact that Jacques Marie Botot had a career under Bonaparte when he was disgraced or other nonsense but I won't say more

Why We Wear Green on St. Patrick’s Day

Dressing in Green on St. Patrick's Can Trace Its Roots to Leprechaun Legends, as Well as a Sign of Irish Defiance.

— By Patrick J. Kiger | March 11, 2024

Photograph By Kirill Liv/Getty Images

Each year on St. Patrick’s Day, tens of thousands of Americans add green to their outfits, even if they can’t trace their ancestry back to the Emerald Isle. But most of those who wear green probably don’t realize that the color has only a tenuous connection to St. Patrick, and actually originated as a symbol of rebellious Irish nationalism.

Avoiding a Leprechaun's Pinch?

One legend suggests that wearing green on St. Patric’s Day makes the wearer invisible to leprechauns. The tiny red-bearded fairies of Irish folklore supposedly roam around pinching those who’ve chosen clothing of another hue.

But fear of leprechauns as a reason to wear green may be American rather than Irish in origin, explains Elizabeth Stack, a native of Ireland who is now executive director of the American Irish Historical Society in New York.

“No one in Ireland is worried that they will be pinched if they don't wear green,” Stack explains. Moreover, she notes, the mischievous mythical creatures don’t actually have anything to do with the feast day of Ireland’s patron saint, who is credited with spreading Christianity on the island in the Fifth Century, in part by blending its rituals with customs of the ancient Celtic pagan religion. (March 17 is the day that St. Patrick is believed to have died, somewhere around A.D. 460)

For that matter, green isn’t a color that has much of a connection to St. Patrick, either. “The earliest depictions of St. Patrick show him clothed in blue garments,” Stack says.

English Designated Blue for St. Patrick

But during the centuries that Ireland was ruled by the English, the color blue fell into disfavor among the Irish. Henry VIII, who declared himself king of Ireland in 1541, gave Ireland a coat of arms that depicted a golden harp, a traditional symbol of the nation, on a blue background. In the late 1700s, the association between blue and St. Patrick was further tainted for the Irish when the English king George III created a new order of chivalry, the Order of St. Patrick. “Its official color was a sky blue, known as St. Patrick’s blue,” Stack says.

By then, the ever-rebellious Irish had chosen a different hue to symbolize their country. They seized upon green, the color of the shamrock, which in legend St. Patrick used when he explained Christian beliefs to the Irish.

The custom of wearing green “may have come from the tradition of wearing a piece of shamrock on the day in Ireland,” Stack explains. “The significance of the three-leafed shamrock comes from St. Patrick himself. He used the shamrock to describe the three forms of God—the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit—to convert early Irish people to Christianity.”

Green as Sign of Irish Defiance

In the Great Irish Rebellion of 1641, Irish military leader Owen Roe O’Neill’s sailing vessels flew a flag that depicted an Irish harp on a field of green instead of blue, according to Jerrold Casway’s 1984 biography of O’Neill. Even after that uprising was crushed, Thomas Dineley, an Englishman who traveled through Ireland in 1681, “reported people wearing crosses of green ribbon in their hats on Saint Patrick's Day,” Stack says.

In the late 1700s, the Society of United Irishmen, an underground nationalist group that sought to emulate the American Revolution and overthrow English rule, used the color green as a symbol of their cause. To avoid being spotted by the English, a nationalist revolutionary might wear a subtle hint of green, such as a green feather in his cap, according to Robert Kee’s book The Green Flag: A History of Irish Nationalism.

Though the poorly-armed rebels were crushed by the British, the idea of wearing shamrocks attached to hats and the color green as nationalist symbols persisted, despite English attempts to suppress them. As described in Paul F. State’s book A Brief History of Ireland, “The Wearin’ o’ The Green,” a street ballad written by an anonymous songwriter around 1798, conveyed that rebellious meaning:

When law can stop the blades of grass from growing as they grow;

And when the leaves in summertime their verdure dare not show;

Then I will change the colour that I wear in my caubeen (hat),

But until that day, please God, I’ll stick to wearin’ o’ the green

As Irish immigrants arrived in the United States and other countries in the 1800s, they took the custom of wearing green with them, and it became a prominent feature of the boisterous St. Patrick’s Day parades staged in many cities. In the U.S., Canada, and Australia, where Irish newcomers were often regarded with suspicion, “St. Patrick's Day often performed the function of declaring, almost belligerently, the presence of the Irish among their host community,” Mike Cronin and Daryl Adair write in their history of holiday, The Wearing of the Green.

By the 1930s, the custom of wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day had become so widespread that even President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was of Dutch ancestry, joined in. An article published on March 17, 1933 described how FDR teased Sen. F. Ryan Duffy of Wisconsin “when he appeared on St. Patrick’s Day wearing a blue tie and no sign of green.” Roosevelt himself wore a green carnation.

The custom has become so established in the U.S. that, according to the National Retail Federation, 82 percent of those who celebrate St. Patrick’s Day mark the holiday by proudly wearing green.

OK, it's like this for us, but it was never stress. The first year of system discovery was ridiculous, because we were already huge by then, and when we relaxed and said, "OK, we're plural" people started coming in droves out of the back to say "hi!" and celebrate that we were finally free! Our facebook memories from that year are hilarious:

"Well, we thought we had only 11 members, but it looks more like 42 now."

"Oop, we've just past 50!"

"We did some estimates, and it looks like we're about the size of a Galaxy class starship."

"Does anybody else who is plural know how to hold a census? Because I think we need to do that."

It wasn't until later, after several incidents of system member creation occurred while making RPG characters, reading books, watching movies, and meeting new people on the street, that we found out we make a new system member every time we have to remember anything about a new person or character.

Population: 4 fucking million as of this last April.

We've had three censuses, each held roughly a year apart, to verify the population number and growth, and they did. We randomly varied the time between each census so that we couldn't calculate the number before hand. We double checked it after we got each number.

It's an average of 230 new members a day. And we've hand counted. When we go outside and ride the bus downtown for a few hours, we see well over 460 people in a day. Add to that all the TV shows and books we watch, and the characters we make up just to entertain ourselves, and it easily averages out to that.

Our brain is on a god damn hair trigger.

Plural culture is -

Okay, maaaybeeee there's more than one person in here.

Oh wow there's a lot actually. Well that should be all, I mean it's not like I'm under the same severe stress as in the past (recent post I'm not over but still).

Aaaaannnnnddddd then two more headmates appear the next time something stressful happens.

Probably doesn't help how poorly most of us handle stress. A quick thanks to both of them for helping to keep calm though.

hello everybody! i am back with the census data for the self shipping community

first off, i want to give everyone who responded a thank you. in a day i have gotten 460 responses, which i think is amazing! secondly, thank you everyone who gave me contact information, i am planning to in the future write a piece on the subculture and community that is self shipping.

a small disclaimer: this census data is only reflective of the community on tumblr, which leans heavily lgbtqia+ and neurodivergent, and may not be reflective of every person that self ships. form was not posted to any social media sites.

now, into the data! :D

ages:

the self shipping community on average is made up of mostly young adults (18-25), taking up 65.6% of people responding. the other two major percents being 25-30, taking up 16.8% of respondents, and under 18 taking 15.8%. only 6 people (1.3%) responded as being 31-35 years old, and only 2 people (0.4%) said they are 36+.

gender identity:

the self shipping community on average is made up mostly of people who are not cisgender. with 84.1% of respondents identifying as not cisgender. 38.6% of respondents are non-binary, 23.5% are transgender males, 12.4% are other, and 9.4% are gender nonconforming. 6 people (1.3%) responded they are cis male. only 1 person (0.2%) responded they are a transgender female.

sexuality:

the self shipping community is very lgb+ in nature as well, with only 22 people (4.8%) saying they are heterosexual. bisexuality dominates in this community, with 34% of respondents being bi. asexuals take up 17.6% of the community, gays 15%, queer 11.1%, other 7.4%, lesbians 5.9%, and pansexuals 4.1%.

romantic orientation:

with romantic orientation, we see a similar trend of biromantics at 35.5%. aromantics at 15.5%, gays at 15.5%, panromantics at 10.4%, queers at 8%, heteroromantics at 7.6%, and lesbians at 7.6%.

disclaimer: this option was added later into the poll after 200 respondents after being mentioned by @/goldenworldsabound (thank you!)

neurodivergency:

i think this is very interesting. 81.4% of respondents fall under the neurodivergent umbrella, 16% saying not sure, and 12 people (2.6%) saying they do not.

after looking over the fill in question if you answered yes, the word autism/autistic are used 256 times (73.14%) out of 350 people who responded. adhd is mentioned 190 times (45.71%).

when did you start self shipping?

a large majority of self shippers have always been self shipping at 38.9%. with early childhood at 20.2%, tween at 17.8%, teen at 17.4%, early adulthood at 4.2%, and adulthood at 1.3%.

one person voted 2020's before i changed the vote from years to age groups.

do you feel self shipping as helped your mental state and general mood?

with a overwhelming majority (82.8%), people said yes. with 16.1% saying maybe, and only 5 (1.1%) of people saying no.

how many fictional others do you have?

this is very interesting to me as well, with 28.5% saying over 20, and 27.8% saying 5-10. 10.8% having 11-16, 8.3% having 1, 8.1% having 3, 5.8% having 4, 5.6% having 2, and 5.2% having 16-19.

do you have platonic or familial fictional others?

a majority have platonic or familial fictional others, at 83.7%. 16.3% saying they do not.

do people in your offline life know you self ship?

while 49.9% of people say people in their offline life don't know they self ship, interestingly 50.1% say at least some person in their life know they self ship. with 41.1% saying close friends/family, 9% saying people know.

do you personally identify as fictosexual/fictoromantic? (i.e. a person who is sexually or romantically attracted to a fictional character.)

a majority (76.5%) of people are not fictosexual/fictoromantic in the self ship community, while 23.5% identify as fictosexual/fictoromantic.

for fun, the average person in the self ship community is between 18-24 years old, non-binary, bisexual and biromantic. falls somewhere on the neurodivergent umbrella, likely with autism. has always self shipped. feels self shipping as improved their mood. has 20% fictional others. has platonic or familial fictional others. only self ships online. and does not identify as fictosexual/fictoromantic.

Once again, as a trans woman, every year I feel isolated from my community by having an attraction to pumpkins that is purely platonic: I still see a thicc gourd and my heart goes pitter-patter, but my dick, ultimately, stay soft.

We are not a monolith, and our experience contains multitudes.

Glad that it was less than like, 48 hours before the Tifa Hentai Incident went from “LMAO, C’MON ITALY” to “Tifa Lockheart is now Italian”.

The only conclusion I can draw here is that getting fucked in the senate is grounds for Italian citizenship.

i was tagged by @nigmos - thank you!! 💘

why did you choose your url?

i'm an anthropology major and i wanted a pretty name that had something to do with anthro, so i named my blog after the holocene epoch 🦋

how long have you been on tumblr?

too long. technically since 2012/2013-ish when i had a kpop blog at the ripe age of 11 or 12 💀 and then i had another simblr in the past, which i think i deactivated in 2017, something like that!

do you have a queue tag?

no, i don't! queueing things is really rare for me except if i'm tzr-ing multiple posts. i tend to post only when i'm actually online

why did you start your blog in the first place?

back in the day, my first simblr, i started it because i wanted to post about kpop sims...and then i posted other stuff, but that was the beginning 🤪

for this blog, i just wanted to post about my main sim grant and also get back into the community!

why did you choose your icon/pfp?

i chose it because i thought päivi made a nice icon but uhhhh i think i need to change that after what happened with her in game 😬

why did you choose your header?

i love space 🌠

what's your post with the most notes?

it's my valentine's day post with päivi!

that photoshoot aged like milk oops

how many mutuals do you have?

tbh no idea

how many followers do you have?

229 exactly! pretty good for five months on here 😊

how many people do you follow?

apparently 460

have you ever made a shitpost?

nope

how often do you use tumblr every day?

i'd say i check in a few times a day!

did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

on my old simblr blog, yes. on this one, definitely not. but who won...? idk i'd have to say me 💀 we're not getting into that right now LMAO but let's just i didn't let people off easy when they wanted to start stupid shit in my inbox over THE SIMS

how do you feel about 'you need to reblog this' posts?

i hate them tbh. don't tell me what to do

do you like tag games?

absolutely!! i love them ✨ it's a fun way to get to know each other on here

do you like ask memes?

once again, absolutely!! so much fun, especially when they're OC or OTP ask memes ❤️

which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

i don't know but i think you're all lovely. you're all famous to me 💌

do you have a crush on a mutual?

i don't 😭 i love all y'all unconditionally and i love everything y'all post but crushing implies a whole different, romantic thing to me

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

NATIONAL PARK SERVICE

SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK

SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK, CALIF.

September 8, 1936

[/centered]

The Director,

National Park Sevice

Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. Director,

Following is the report of Sequoia National Park for the month of August, 1936:

[u] 000 GENERAL [/u]

[u] 010 - Introduction [/u]. August was an unnaturally busy month in the number of visiting Washington officials.  The list included Assistant Directors Wirth, Tolson, and Bryant, Assistant to the Director Ben H. Thompson, and W.K. Mattingly of the Bureau of the Budget.

Superintendent White, whose left index finger became infected from a bad cut while on a packing trip July 26, was either confined to his home or in a hospital at San Francisco during the entire month. His finger was finally removed on August 21 at Fort Miley Hospital in San Francisco, and he is expected back in the park on September 4.

[u] 021 - Weather in the park. [/u]  August was clear and warm. Thunder showers occurred in the high back country. The weather summary follows:

Ash Mountain   Max. 106   Min. 55   Mean 84.7   Precip. .02   Snow 0  Clear 23   Partly Cloudy 6   Cloudy 2

Giant Forest     Max. 86     Min. 44   Mean 66.22   Precip .15   Snow 0   Clear 21  Partly Cloudy 6  Cloudy 4

[u] 100 ADMINISTRATIVE [/u]

[u] 110 - Status of work [/u]. Work continued at high summer peak. Several seasonal Civil Service jobs were established, and the eligibles selected are now filling jobs previously necessarily but ineffectually handled by CCC enrollees.

[u] 120 - Park inspections by [/u]:

[u] 121 - Superintendent [/u]. During the absence of Superintendent white, Assistant Superintendent Tobin inspected the North Fork, Salt Creek, and South Fork areas, in addition to frequent visits to jobs going on in the Giant Forest, Lodgepole and Lost Grove Districts. He also made two short campfire talks.

[page 2]

The Park Naturalist devoted a profitable day observing the educational program in Yosemite National park, and was permitted to attend a conference of ranger-naturalists called by Park Naturalist Harwell so that Dr. Bryant and Superintendent Thomson could discuss matters pertaining to the naturalist work.  This trip impressed upon Park Naturalist Boen the importance of observing activities in other parks during the height of the summer period.

     The Park Naturalist also attended the recent Wildlife Conference in San Francisco, while representing the Superintendent at the Western Conference of State parks.  He also make observations of park activities in this part of the State and visited the Berkeley laboratories.

       460  -  Birds            All wildlife appears to be in normal condition.  An

       470  -  Animals        American Condor was reported seen in the Kern Canyon.

       490  -  Emergency Conservation Work.  State Forester Pratt devoted two days inspecting work in the park, and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of Giant Forest.  Mr. Pratt was hihgly commendatory of our work, particularly with reference to ECW, and mentioned especially the wilderness aspect of Giant Forest.

       The type mapping of the park has been considerably speeded up by the addition of four more men from the Regional Office.

        ECW Administrative Inspector Maurice Thede made routine inspection of ECW projects.

        The work of the CCC boys has been uninterrupted except for about 40 boys loaned to the State for two days on a grass fire outside the park.  With the exception of the work started last year on the Heather lake Trail, the ECW projects for August are progressing as reported last month.  The outstanding endeavor, of course, is the Dorst Creek Campground, the first unit of which will be practically completed for Labor Day occupancy by park visitors.  Water will be piped, fireplaces completed and tables placed for 75 camps.

        500    USE OF PARK FACILITIES BY THE PUBLIC

                510  -  Travel.  All indications point to another record breaking travel year in the history of the park.  Already travel has passed the 200,000 mark, and with an increase of 13.1% for the year and with another month to go (which includes the Labor Day holidays), the previous record of 205,000 visitors should easily be shattered.  Although an increase of 11.9% cars was made for the year, only .2% increase is noted for the month, with visitors even less  - .12%.  An increase of 26% in the total out of State travel over last year is noted.  Approximately 11% of the total park travel for the year was out-of-State.

               530  -  Visitors

     8/2    Mr. Bascemayer, Regional Office, San Francisco, Calif.

     8/7    Family of Superintendent Tillotson, Grand Canyon National Park, Ariz.

fine morning – out at 8 25/.. till breakfast at 9 10/.. – saw Robert Mann – then at Listerwick – Joseph M- not there – Carter landing for him – but Robert Fielding thought the water rather abated – had kept the pumps going till 9 ½ last night, and pumped from 2 ¾ to 5 50/.. this morning before getting the water out – but there seems some hope – out after breakfast about 9 ¾ or near 10, with DB. talking over the colliery business and explaining – B- astonished at Holts’ seeming to know so little what he was about – then at 10 ¾ had B. and Robert Mann in the little breakfast room and plans and talked matters over till 11 ¾ when off to H-x Robert M- seems to hope that Holt may be right and that the water is not the dead water .:. the colliery which I had yesterday determined to give up, is to go on – Gave orders to B- in Roberts’ presence that nothing was to be done but straight work except getting the coal under level, and of this as much to be got as could be got conveniently so that they should drive the water level towards Lower brea as far as could be done conveniently, and then stop – the Walker pit preparations to be done as before agreed and all to go on – In this mind I set off to H-x at 11 ¾ down the o.b. – put into the P.O. A-‘s letter to her sister (Udale house) to say we were unavoidably delayed – could not yet fix the day, but hoped to be off by the end of the  week – but A- would write again en route or on our arriving in London – then to the bank – went into the private room spoke to Mr. MacKean about honouring Mr. Grays’ drafts for £460 every 15 July and 15 January – wished him to consider that as a private affair and to charge me 10/. or ½ a guinea on his own account for his trouble – I particularly wished [?] to be his own concern – I thought the bank had not used me well, and had it not been for Mr. McK- I should have left the bank – he was very civil – said if I would give him a letter authorizing him to pay the money, he would take care it was attended to – I did give him a letter as follows ‘Shibden hall – Saturday 8 June 1839 – Sir – I shall be obliged to you to honour each ½ year the draft of William Grey Esquire of York for four hundred and sixty pounds due on the fifteen of July and fifteen of January in each year – I am sir, etc. etc. etc A. Lister’ – I brought away fifty pounds in notes and gold and my banking book which on looking at it at home I found about £56 pounds on the wrong side – I meant to have got a letter of credit, and drawn on the bank for £60 payable on the 15 July to W.G. and I asked for the letter but somehow I came away without it – my head was full of the colliery; and it being Saturday, the bank was busy – then to Mr. Parkers’ office – saw Mr. Adam – signed notice to quit for John Oates – mentioned the mill to be built at Godley – 400 yards sold at 10/. – let Mr. Carr sell as many more mill sites as he liked, or could, the pace of no value now but as an investment and if well bought (that left to the discretion of P. and A-) I would buy what might be left – then election talk – at a loss for a candidate – the good people objected to the character of Lord Pollington – A- could not contradict this objection – I mentioned my surprise – hoped the sins of the father were not visited on the son – would give A- information on this point – Mr. Akroyd tired, or professed to be so, of these political agitations – wished for compromise – but the whigs never to be trusted – if they do not split, we are sure to be beaten – Mr. Norris had been talked over – but the N-s too unpopular – if Lord P-‘s character answered, it would do, if he could give £500 if elected; and £400 if beaten, or at least £300 if beaten – a heavy subscription wanted for the country – I said as A- and I would be absent they must not expect anything from us – the borough expense= £600 the last time – Mr. Waterhouse gave £40 the last time but a hundred the time before – returned up the o.b. and back soon after 1 – stood talking to Robert Mann who with William Lord and Jack Green and my carts and 3 horses were at the laundry court road bank levelling job – then with Robert Norton the joiner – and with A- till Joseph Mann came about 5 and about ½ hour or more afterwards Robert M- Joseph M- cannot see that the water abates at all – sure it is the dead water – well then said I the sooner the pits are stopped the better – returned to my first mind – Joseph owned he himself was fast, and could not deny that I was right – he should do the same in my place – all settled – I then explained that if Stocks could be brought over and could manage so as to get the coal all roundabout into his own hands and mine, the colliery might yet be reopened and prosper – talked over the Dumb mill loose – mentioned how the Manns might by underplot being it about – It would be better to send DB. – no! I thought not – better send for S- myself – agreed that the 2 M-s should talk this over and if Robert (to come tomorrow morning) brought word that I had best send for him S-, I would do it, and see what could be done – Paid Joseph and Robert but had not time to enter the bills even in my rough book – Matty Pollard here – to wish us goodbye I suppose – dinner at 7 ¾ - went into the cellar – 1 claret – my mind made up, and my spirits excellent at the thought of leaving home free from colliery cares – A- and I drank to the memory of the late colliery drank the whole bottle of claret four and a half a glass each – I asleep a little on the sofa – coffee at 10 – came upstairs at 10 ½ - fine day

proshippers tell us to just ignore em and police what content we see but the moment we dont let them into spaces that we are policing they throw a hissy fit huh

"hey if you dont wanna see our problematic content just dont interact with us and exclude us we dont like you regardless"

"ok *bans you from being somewhere we dont want you in*"

"i hate these event rules im gonna make some nasty shit to spite some minors during the event, lol"
