The more I learn about Civil War politics, the more I'm convinced that Lincoln's most impressive and useful leadership trait was that he never let his pride get in the way of doing his job.
Other people in Lincoln's position would have come to Washington with something to prove. They'd have resented the insults and tried to disprove them. They'd have tried to seize power and credit, rejected help, spent a lot of time trying to reach a certain level of respect.
Lincoln's response to, "You're just a backwoods lawyer with no executive experience who makes too many dumb jokes," was pretty much always, "Yeah. And?" He had no interest in petty personal power plays. He had a country to run. There was a war on. It didn't matter what people thought of him so long as the job got done.
He was aware of his personal shortcomings and was always willing to accept advice and help from people who had more knowledge and experience in certain areas. He presided over a chaotic Cabinet full of abrasive personalities who thought they were better and smarter than him, but he kept working with them because they could get the job done. For example: Stanton was absolutely horrible to him when they were both working as lawyers. Just incredibly mean on a personal level. But when Lincoln needed someone to replace Cameron, he swallowed his pride and appointed Stanton as Secretary of War, where Stanton proceeded to be mean to everyone in the world, but he whipped that department into shape and kept it running efficiently through a very chaotic war. Pretty much no one except Lincoln would have been able to put up with that. He could put up with people who were personally difficult if they could do the job he needed them to do--which he was only able to do because his own ego didn't get in the way.
Lincoln's example is a prime demonstration of how humility isn't underrating yourself--it's being so secure in your own abilities and identity that you don't need to attack anyone or defend yourself to prove your worth. He knew his shortcomings, but he also knew his strengths. He was willing to give other people credit for successes and take blame upon himself for failures if it kept things running smoothly. He was secure enough in his own power that he could deal generously--but firmly--with people who tried to undermine him. In a city full of huge egos, in a profession that rewards puffed-up pride, that levelheaded humility is an extremely rare trait--which is what made it so impressive and effective.
#history is awesome#presidential talk#so i went to a teeny backwater thrift store today#their tiny history book section just happened to have an old lincoln biography#i opened to the page about the cabinet#which describes the situation like 'seward was calling himself premier and lording it over everyone'#'blair was causing problems everywhere'#'welles was insulting everyone in his diary and especially hated stanton grant and seward'#'and stanton hated absolutely everyone in the whole wide world'#and as i was reading this i was internally kicking my legs with excitement and cackling with glee because this is the good stuff#i don't know why but i love these horrible petty men#they're like a bunch of raccoons fighting over territory in a dumpster fire it's so great#i read the whole chapter right there in the store#and it impressed upon me yet again how impressive lincoln was to put up with all these guys#(the writer was a bit simplistic and made a lot of these guys come off as worse than they were)#(like he made seward sound like a complete incompetent when he was a pretty good secretary of state)#(he had some grandiose ideas but the man deserves a lot of credit for keeping england out of the war)#(but for a one-chapter summary of these guys it wasn't exactly wrong and it was a ton of fun)#i very much did not want another book especially another american history book#but it was only fifty cents and i have a pouch full of spare change#and the writer's style was so much fun that i decided to take the book with me#i don't plan to read the whole thing (i'm sick of lincoln bios) but it's fun to dip into for things like this#and i had to talk to you about it

okay but i don't like how some of you guys make kaz gouging out oomen's eyeball seem like he would do those sort of atrocities to anyone who so much as disrespected inej and just because he wanted to. kaz watched her lose conciousness as he carried her and she bled all over his shirt and she is now bleeding on a table and they're all desperately hanging onto nina's abilities as a heartrender to keep her alive. she almost and could've died. and kaz is definitely angry that they were ambushed, he sort of expected it, but inej's predicament made it worse. and gouging out oomen's eyeball isn't something he did just because he wanted to do it. in some ways, its part of his reputation that if you cross him or his wraith, this is what's coming for you. it was also a way to get answers from oomen, because it was torture, because he wanted to know who planned the ambush that made him fail to protect his wraith. and i just don't like how some of you treat it as something so shallow because he just felt like it because it is way more than that, kaz is way more than that

Am I thinking of selling?
Him? No. He’s simply a practice to see if the gloss is water proof and if he’s durable.
Am I thinking of selling keychains like this soon?
Yes :] Just when everything is completed and I make stuff. If I were to put this guy on sale he’d be like $15

Unfortunately I can’t seem to find the Bo one except in this video (around 3:55)

Which is… unfortunate.
#These are just so so cute#Beep is such a polite little sweetheart and she loves her friends so much#like that’s the first thing she brings up when introducing herself#that she loves her friends and she loves her job and she especially loves doing her job with her friends#AND HER LITTLE GIGGLE AT THE END OF THE BOOP ONE#Grop I love her so#This has been her dream since she was a teeny tiny wee little Storybot!#(I don’t know how to break it to ya Beep but you are still teeny tiny. So small!!)#And Bang!! Also very cute!! He doesn’t quite know what information to lead with at first which is kind of a mood#And when he goes off repeating roll over and over that is also a mood#you know? Just like me fr. Except he doesn’t have anxiety and I do#Friendly friend guy yeas#The sheer confidence of Bing rattling off all those positive traits he has#he literally brags about how funny he is and then makes the worst pun (?) ever and laughs so hard at his own bad pun#I wish I had his confidence#Boop just does not even want to be here you can tell Beep talked him into it#“I think her just pretends to be grumpy because he doesn’t want to let people know he cares.”#Beep really out here exposing her friend as a massive softie#she’s not wrong of course#I really like their dynamic honestly#Not great that the Bo video is trapped within the other video where they play bang’s video backwards for some reason#but her video itself is also very cute#*pats Bo gently on the forehead* this Storybot can fit so much love in her#Her going on and on about all the things she loves and forgetting what she was even talking about#First of all she’s such a sweetie pie second of all same honestly I ramble and then forget what I was originally talking about all the time#So same#storybots
