Haunted States of America: Michigan
Tumblr media
Haunts of the Upper Great Lakes (1997) by Dixie Franklin
A bit of superstition haunts most of us -- a remnant perhaps of the memories of chillingly scary ghost stories told to us in our childhood. Northern Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula have more than their share of ghosts and haunted spaces: from Lotta, the mysterious 'shady lady of the night' in Hurley, Wisconsin; to the ghost of Mary Green, who apparently thinks she is still the captain of the Delta Queen, an elegant paddlewheel boat that sails the Mississippi River today; to the mystery light that appears along a lonely road near Paulding, Michigan; to the various shades and ghostly occupants of homes and inns on Mackinac Island and across the Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin. There are haunted lighthouses, haunted mansions and inns, and haunted woods -- all waiting for you in Haunts of the Upper Great Lakes!
Check out these other books about haunts in Michigan!
Haunted Houses of Michigan (1998) by Karen Hoisington Donaldson
Haunted Michigan: Recent Encounters with Active Spirits (2000) by Gerald S. Hunter

In times of war, our furry companions often work side by side with armed forces. In World War One, dogs were used as part of the Red Cross to bring wounded soldiers away from the frontlines, smaller dogs would live amongst the trenches as "ratters" to keep vermin populations and disease lower, and messenger dogs would run communications from the trenches to deliver information up the chain of command.
In 1943, the Dickin medal was created to award displays of outstanding gallantry or service by animals in wartime. According to the Australian War Memorial (Source), 74 animals have been recipients of this honour, and of those 74, 37 were dogs.

ANGELA REDESIGN I HAD FUN WITH! Part 1 of the formal lor redesigns…
Tumblr media
- her body isnt really made to last for long periods of time so she often experiences mobility issues. Mainyl walks around with a fancy cane. ive been pondering on what exact issue she’d have but
- has more crowlike characteristics; hooked nose, more hair, etc etc.
- pcos haver i think (causes hirsutism aka excessive hair growth and all)
- less “conventionally attractive” than lcorp angela as she is. Finally something that isnt a tool made to look and act optimally
Hod is probs coming next <33333

*sigh* well sooner or later she will get mixed up in this mess
But in all seriousness:
While i dont agree with her, we shouldnt harass her because of it. Cuz imagine being angry at PM for not protecting its employees from harassment.....so you go ahead and harass a person working with PM because of they desire to work with a person they worked 3 years with and that might know/understand more about a certain situation than us. How are we better than them? Dont you find it ironic? That’s just low hanging fruit
As for Cassie:
We’re sorry for our behavior but prior to your response we would love you to give it a second thought. Yes you guys have been friend for years but if your friend done something wrong you should steer them to the correct path as a good friend should be. This ‘controversy’ is no mere mistake and shouldnt be taken lightly

“You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read, since I first came here, the rough common boy whose poor heart you wounded even then. You have been in every prospect I have ever seen since-on the river, on the sails of the ships, on the marshes, in the clouds, in the light, in the darkness, in the wind, in the woods, in the sea, in the streets. You have been the embodiment of every graceful fancy that my mind has ever become acquainted with.”
— Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

We as readers will always marvel at the fact that The Great Gatsby and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button were written by the same man.

"Love her, love her, love her!
If she favours you, love her. If she wounds you, love her.
If she tears your heart to pieces – and as it gets older and stronger, it will tear deeper – love her, love her, love her!"
~Charles Dickens (Great Expectations)

I still don't have discord so let's go back to the old days of tumblr theorising: what subject do we think Jess would study at university? (major or specialise or however the fuck america works, I don't care). And why? Does Callum insist he goes to do Business or Finance or something? Do we think Jess could actually manage English Literature, or would he hate how it affected his enjoyment of books? Chemistry? Something physical?
All opinions welcome, including for other characters.
