The World Was Wide Enough-Laurens Remix
I’ve seen a lot of remixes around, especially for Laurens, so I thought I’d join the club and try my hand at “The World was Wide Enough” set in the skirmish at the Combahee River in SC. This is based off of the speculation I’ve seen where the reason Laurens was so reckless in battle could have been because he was depressed and suicidal. There are references to the Laurens/Hamilton correspondence, like Laurens’ pet name for Hamilton.

If you’re a writer and you see this post, stop what you’re doing.
WHENEVER YOU SEE THIS POST ON YOUR DASH, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND WRITE ONE SENTENCE FOR YOUR CURRENT PROJECT.
Just one sentence. Stop blogging for one minute and write a single sentence. It could be dialogue, it could be a nice description of scenery, it could be a metaphor, I don’t care. The point is, do it. Then, when you finish, you can get back to blogging.
If this gets viral, you might just have your novel finished by next Tuesday.
Goddamn it, it’s back.
If it stays back, I might manage to finish a third story this year. Jesus.
I swear, this is now my only writing motivation.
BACK AGAIN??? Sigh.
Okay, sorry if anyone gets sick of this, but it’s the best way for me to get myself to write.

I HOPE THOMAS JEFFERSON IS HAVING A BAD FOURTH OF JULY IN HELL
Fuck you he was hella cool, Hancock was the fuck face
THOMAS JEFFERSON OWNED SLAVES, SOME OF WHOM WERE HIS OWN CHILDREN WHO HE FATHERED BY MOLESTING A FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD SLAVE WHEN HE WAS IN HIS FORTIES, AND WHEN HE WAS CALLED UPON TO EXPLAIN THE HYPOCRISY OF WRITING “ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL” WHILE KEEPING HUMAN BEINGS AS SLAVES, HE REASONED THAT THIS DIDN’T APPLY TO SLAVES BECAUSE HE BELIEVED BLACK PEOPLE WERE SUBHUMAN ANYWAY. HE OWNED HUNDREDS OF SLAVES WHOSE LIVES AND FREEDOM HE STOLE SO HE WOULDN’T HAVE TO PAY THE WORKERS IN FORCED LABOR CAMP HE OWNED AND OPERATED. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BENEVOLENT SLAVE MASTER. THIS IS A MATTER OF HISTORICAL RECORD, NOT A MATTER OF OPINION. IF THERE IS A HELL, THOMAS JEFFERSON DESERVES TO BE THERE.

"Until she convinces me otherwise, I assume that her emotional reaction to a situation is disproportionate to my opinion of what level of emotional reaction the situation calls for. Basically, if she’s on eight, I assume the situation is really a six."

Men Just Don’t Trust Women – And It’s A Huge Problem
I cannot think of a man with whom I have ever shared negative feelings who did not make it obvious, however hard he might’ve tried to hide it, that he is going through this mental process.
And
yes, if you’re a man reading this and thinking, “Oh no, but she’s told
me her negative feelings and I’ve responded by asking her questions
about why she feels that way, does she mean me???” Yes, I mean you. I
mean all of you. I am calling all of you out for this right now. No, I
don’t want to have a private conversation about it, because I’m done
with that emotional labor. If this describes you and you’re still in my
life as a friend or partner, assume that I have accepted this sort of
microinvalidation as the cost of doing business. But my acceptance of
reality doesn’t make it any more *acceptable*.

If you see an animal stung with porcupine quills: STAY AWAY
I just learned this today from my mom (who learned it from NPR) but I looked it up and it is legit. If you see an animal, other than a dog, which is covered in porcupine quills, stay away. It is almost certainly rabid.
Dogs are naturally curious and have a knack for getting into trouble. But otherwise, nature’s wild animals know to stay away from porcupines. The only animals willing to attack a porcupine are either martens (which have a specific technique) or rabid animals that are already in the throws of rabies madness. According to the vet on this month’s ‘Pets and Vets’ on NPR, every animal she saw (other than dogs) brought in with porcupine quills also had rabies.
So when you see that cute raccoon, clearly in distress, covered in porcupine quills, stay away and call animal control. It is not in distress because it is covered in quills, it is in distress because it is rabid and that is why it approached a porcupine in the first place.
Rabies is incurable. Please don’t let your good heartedness lead to you getting a fatal illness.
This is important but I would like to add that rabies is curable/preventable if you seek treatment before the onset of symptoms. It’s best to avoid contact in the first place, so don’t take that to mean “oh it’s okay to approach this probably-rabid dog,” but if a wild/stray animal should bite you in spite of your best efforts, disinfect the wound and seek a rabies vaccination ASAP!!

“When I got my first cat, it changed me. There is something about holding a cat that makes your anger melt away. And if someone does something that upsets me—I have to remember my cat. I can’t keep my cat if I get into trouble.”
“I asked if Major Cabanaw had concerns for the safety of the cats. “Of course, we always want to ensure the safety of the cats, and the staff is great about keeping an eye out for them. But mostly, it’s the offenders keeping them safe. I have never once seen an offender kill his own cat. We screen them to be sure they have no history of animal abuse. But I’ll tell you this, there was a guy killed in here because he had spit soda pop onto someone else’s cat.””
Wow.
Cats now control the prisons. They now have an army.
This post went exactly where I expected. Well done.
