"What if the South won the Civil Wa--"

BORING!!

The only Civil War alternate history worth caring about is, "What if they fixed the sewage issue that was contaminating the White House water supply and killing presidents?"

How does the country progress if William Henry Harrison gets a full term? How do we handle presidential succession with no Tyler Precedent established?

If Zachary Taylor doesn't die, is there no Compromise of 1850? If Taylor lives to push for more strident anti-slavery measures, does this delay war or start it sooner? Does he try a different compromise just to keep the Union together? Or does he push his own ideas so strongly that the South secedes? Imagine if the war starts ten years early with a firmly anti-secessionist Louisiana plantation owner (who until like two years ago was a highly successful general) in the White House. Is this a Robert E. Lee in reverse situation--a man having to choose the Union over his people? There's no way to know, and no one else cares, but for some reason I do.

#history is awesome #presidential talk #i was looking forward to learning about the in-between presidents #but i didn't think i'd find it this interesting #i hoped i'd come out of this with a few unknown presidents catching my interest #but i never would have thought zachary taylor would become a historical blorbo #it's the lost potential that fascinates me i think #plus the contrasts both within his character/life and with his vp #actually his lack of political acumen would probably have made his presidency very boring in this au #which is why it's good you're not counting on me to write alternate histories #but really that sewage thing is so weird and had such an outsized effect on us history that i feel like someone should make use of it

Tokyo in April is... is so Japanese I'm only surprised it didn't end in the rape, torture and death of the uke.

I haven't read the manga but I bet if I did I'd recognise some of the panels - the framing and angled shadowing were very deliberate. I also bet that in the manga Ren was teeny tiny with giant eyes. I usually like a height difference (sorry not sorry) but liked that it wasn't played into here - Ren was already enough of a victim (gay, rejected by his family, exiled, etc etc) without him looking childlike.

Speaking of kids, the actors playing young Kazuma and Ren were good as well even though I was worried about how they'd handle the love motel scene.

Can you tell I'm finally on hols and binging shows like there's no tomorrow? I've missed so many this year am not sure I'll ever catch up.

#shoots hortense between the eyes. shoots tilda in the knee. #we already know what she does to become sublight vp but there's a more complicated thought process there that haunts her #love maverick johnston tho he's always gassing up how hot max is #okay but I can't wait to get to fallbrook okay OKAY #that's THE PLACE #also kills me every time faith stops max from beating the piss out of reggie #just to go and punch nelson in the eye TWICE #I love my little hypocrite #y'all need to understand she has her own history with anger and violence #which makes her dynamic with max so much funnier and interesting #bc they're constantly trying to keep the other from doing something they'd regret #while simultaneously being like 👀 at each other #rambling #*sobbing into my hands* I want the planned intervention perk so bad it's literally so sexy of him to behave like that #(yes I know tilda it PoG dlc but it's still byzantium soooo) #(is*)

One thing that rings truer each day sometime after the Philippine elections: Love is real. Love is so fucking real. And if you have to be angry for love, go and fucking fight for it at the same time.

#i've gotten so busy working on this and that in my own way #and in my own anger and despair for something we lost #i've overlooked what radical love meant on a surface level—something i've done in and out of politics #it's the subtle check-ins #the effort to uplift your people #even if the ones who /aren't/ your people #is so fricken crazy #the gratitude i have for everyone moves mountains #as usual former vice president leni robredo isn't going to be a sourpuss like b/on/g b/on/g mar/c0s with the recounts #instead she's going to launch a local NGO called Angat Buhay (Lifting Lives) which is a larger scale of her project when she was still a VP #the goal is to be the biggest volunteer network in the history of the Philippines and I'm so pumped #it might be the first NGO i'm going to volunteer in #it might be time for the soul to look for something else to focus on #personal #important #love!!!! #and 2 everyone: i love u :") #to everyone who's donated so far: thank you so much! i've paused donating to my comrades for now but i'll be rationing the money as needed #corny talks philippine presidential elections

‘Replacing history with lies’: VP Harris condemns Florida’s new standards for teaching Black history

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (WFLA) — Vice President Kamala Harris made a last-minute trip to Florida Friday to denounce the state’s new standards for teaching Black history in public schools, saying she is “deeply concerned” that the state is “replacing history with lies.”

The visit comes as a result of a fiery board meeting in Orlando on Wednesday. Florida’s Board of Education approved new standards for how African American history will be taught in Florida’s public schools.

The standards were approved to the sound of booing from a crowd that formed at the meeting. State officials say the lesson plans lay out “the good, the bad and the ugly” of African American history.

Critics continue to highlight part of the standards that include instruction on “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.” Ed board officials said lessons would not include the benefits of slavery, despite the language in the standards.

“I was just appalled that anybody in 2023 would say things like, we learned something from slavery. Of course we did. We learned that we never ever want to be in bondage and we don’t want to be told what to do,” State Rep. Dianne Hart said.

Hart applauded the VP’s efforts saying, “It shows you that Florida is important and that this subject matter is critically important, not just to Florida, but to this entire nation.” 

Governor Ron DeSantis tweeted about the visit on Wednesday. The 2024-hopeful saying the VP is “lying” about Florida’s new standards to cover up an “indoctrination agenda.”

Democrats, meanwhile, say the governor is trying to flip the script.

“This idea that this is a part of their agenda to move away from some type of indoctrination, but yet and still what they are pushing is epitome of indoctrination,” State Sen. Shevrin Jones said.

There was more than one reason for the visit and that was to show state democrats that the White House is behind them ahead of the 2024 elections.

i work from home 2 days out of the week and i get like. fuck all done on those days. my cat is adorable and my neighbors are loud and we have so many windows and there are noises and some smells sometimes and i've been convinced that my quarterly review was going to be "you're slacking, stop that or you're fired"

well

had my review this morning

not only was absolutely nothing negative said about me at all, three different department heads are fighting. over who gets me on their team. my director wants me to become the full-time trainer, the technical analyst wants to create a analyst team with me as the founding member, and my current department head is metaphorically crouched over me like a dog with food aggression

is this

is this job satisfaction

imagine what could happen if i did my job 5 days a week instead of 3 😳

#voxbox #i am. flabbergasted #genuinely shocked that i am viewed that favorably by upper management #my CEO sat in on session 0 for the new one-shot i'm running for my work d&d group and not only was he jazzed about the concept but #also apparently about me? after the google meet he apparently IMMEDIATELY reached out to the VP of support to rave about me #he called me a firecracker 🥹 #it's such a different working environment than starbucks it's honestly so nice??? i'm not just a number i am a Person #one of our team members had a seizure in office last week and our managers told him in no uncertain terms that he was taking a paid leave #to recover and follow up with anything medical he may need. did not take no for an answer #my director told him to his face that his health and wellbeing were more important than this job and to let her know if he needed more #than the TWO WEEKS they were giving him #i've never experienced this. my work history before this has been 99% food service and food service is so dehumanizing #from customers to management to the corporation - you're just a number. a cog. a percentage of a percentage #i'm grateful i have left that industry but i am also still so angry for my friends who are still at starbucks #because i've experienced better now. i KNOW it can be better. and i'm pissed food service isn't allowed better #because it's not a 'real job' get fucked #anyway. it's been a good day

2 and a half weeks until JC passes Cactus Jack!

It took me a little bit to figure out what you were referencing, but yes, Jimmy Carter will pass John Nance Garner as the longest-living President or Vice President in American history on September 18th.

Say what you will about Andrew Jackson, but you can't deny the man was hardcore. Not many presidents would respond to an assassination attempt by trying to beat the man with a stick.

#only other candidate for this reaction is teddy roosevelt but even he might not do this #because guns were better at the time and his predecessor was shot and he had secret service #history is awesome #presidential talk #this comes from a letter by john tyler which makes it extra funny #that he mentions the vp would become president if this happened #because at this point the constitution wasn't clear #but he's the vp who wound up establishing that

[xcziel]

for some bizarre reason all i want is office workplace AUs right now so if you're aware of any really good ones that hit near any of the fandoms i talk about please recommend 🙏

#idk why maybe bed friend triggered it? or the vp wips and i need some that are completed? #i think i've read every svsss one (there are strangely so many sqh/mbj ones?) #maybe it was talking about the league of nobleman modern au? #maybe it's that like we best love and history 4 we some of my first actual-bl bls? #i don't know but there's a definite lack if historical cdrama-turned-office-aus even though #the whole jianghu/court politics to office politics thing is SUCH an easy correspondence

Oh worm

#hnghh been inactive because of a lot of things such as uni work #but uuhhh our country is abt to be lead by the son of a dictator #his VP is abt to lead the education sector probably to install more history revisionism #i am very hurt and deeply angered #the adults around me are either apolitical or actively supoorts this regime #ive been falling off for a while now but i really just want to wallow in reality for much longer now #i havent lost hope or given up the fight yet #but man i cant believe so many adults close to me actively voted to rob my generation of thier future #and i mourn for all the kids who will be fed a gross distortion of history so far from the truth #im just gonna lay down now #...
