Anonymous asked: the fact that the parks and recs quote about alex hating most things but not hating laurens wasn't even that far off from an actual quote....
“You know the opinion I entertain of mankind, and how much it is my desire to preserve myself free from particular attachments, and to keep my happiness independent of the caprice of others. You should not have taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without my consent.” -alex hamilton, in an April 1779 letter to john laurens (chernow pg. 123)
hamilspeak for “i hate most things but i never seem to hate you”
i can’t even make this stuff up, man. goddamn. lams is the realest.
No you don’t understand there are two Hamilton quotes where he literally says “I hate everything except Laurens” in almost those exact words:
“In short Laurens I am disgusted with every thing in this world but yourself and very few more honest fellows and I have no other wish than as soon as possible to make a brilliant exit.” - AH to JL, January 8, 1780
“I hate Congress—I hate the army—I hate the world—I hate myself. The whole is a mass of fools and knaves; I could almost except you and Meade.” - AH to JL, September 12, 1780
New rule, non muslims can’t say the word jihad. Until you stop conflating a word that means personal struggle with faith and temptation with terrorism youre just not allowed to say it.
I’m not a Muslim but I just thought I would reblog this because I think it’s definitely worth listening to.
It’s totally okay for non muslims to reblog this, and i encourage it. Im just glad you’re listening.
The word means “struggle,” not “holy war.” War is never holy.
In Islam, we are taught that the most noblest form of “jihad” is the internal struggle–the struggle inside our souls, struggling to stay true to ourselves (our beliefs, our morals/values, our emotions. etc…). I believe that we can all agree that it is such a major struggle trying to stay true to yourself in a world that constantly tries to challenge you and put you down.
im posting this just to put it in my laugh rule tag because it was killing me eariler
i made the mistake of trying to read this out loud and absolutely lost it at every single line and absolutely my neighbours just heard my sputter laugh for a solid two minutes
All right, look, everybody, let’s get one thing about me absolutely clear. I am a taker-of-no-shit with a short temper. I am aware of this. I have been called a cold and ruthless bitch by everyone from people I hated to my now-ex-boyfriend to my family. I’m over it. I have moved on. I’d rather be divisive than indecisive, etc, etc.
So, uh. An anon calling me names ain’t gonna impress me, mmm-kay?
