So, I recently started listening to the Hamilton soundtrack. I know. I’m late to the game. I’ve kind of been avoiding it due to the parental advisory sticker on the case. I’m old enough to ignore it, but I avoid it on principal because I don’t like listening to people curse. The history buff in me finally decided to give it a chance, and I actually kind of liked it despite the cursing. Honestly though, was all the cursing really

Calling all Americans out there, I have one question for you:

What is Laffy-Taffy?

Moreover, what is Taffy in general???

-

A confused, curious Englishman.

Eyes bleary, DJ smacked the iCoffee and waited semi-patiently for the thirty seconds for the heating element in the machine to warm up the water so she could slap the coffee pod in and get her big mug of brown joy. I really need to get her the newest model, but she’s always like “Oh, that’s sweet of you, DJ, but really, I’m fine with what I have!” The humanized pony sighed. No, dear aunt of mine, what you mean to say is, “Oh, that’s sweet of you, DJ, but really, I’m fine with

So, last night, I finally did something I'd been thinking over the past few weeks: Quit the American Bronies group. I'm sorry, but when you watch the group slowly become post after post of supporting Donald Trump, a man who has a white supremacist in his cabinet, a man who wants to pretty much bring back concentration camps and label all Muslims as terrorists (We all know how well that worked out back in the 1940s with the Japanese-Americans) and has no political background, and can't control

I have come asking for some feedback and hopefully you all will be willing to answer. First I had originally intended for the cover art for the story to be, this:

However, after some thought I am actually considering doing something else for the cover art, now what I'm going to show you is an uncolored version of the final product, but I thought I might ask you for your feedback on it.

To all those who are wondering why the story of which I promised daily updates hasn't been updating all week . . . it has. However, due to an issue with the reading of the story before it went online FIMFiction has decided that the first six chapters were all released on April 29th. This should be fixed for tomorrow's update, but I wanted to let everyone know what was going on in case they are confused who the Brisk Printer guy is and why he's walking through the rain.

4TH OF VICTORY OVER TEA DAY APPLAUD AND BLOW SHIT UP NOW BROTHER YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT

So, you might remember about a month ago I made a post about the standoff between the various crazed militia types (who were mostly from out of state) and the Oregon State Police and the FBI at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Eastern Oregon.

It has been a wild few weeks.

I suppose y'all arr interested in what I've been doing as of late... since it sure as heck isn't writing! Anyhow, this last weekend I attended the Ohio Regimental Ball, a Civil War Ball & Convention. I've been doing Civil War stuff on and off over the years, but in the last year have managed to take it up a notch both as a hobby and as part of what I do as Historical Educator. That being said, for various reasons and accidents of fate, I've never actually managed to attend a reenactment. This

I will be watching today, the "sport of kings"

If you haven't heard: a horse called "American Pharoah" is going for the Triple Crown: Winning the prestigious Kentucky Derby and the Preakness in one year.

There hasnt been a triple crown winner in nearly four decades, so all eyes will be on the race.

Will American Pharoah win it?

If I was a betting man, I would say yes

Well, I found a translation at an antique bookstore and just finished reading it. Here are some fun facts about the story:

I love being normal, I mean transphobic.
Math is also transpho-
Oh wait, I forgot, math is racist.

The Latinx Movement is dripping with "American" stupidity.

Black people can't do simple math? - Must be that math is systematically racist.
White people can't understand simple Spanish grammar? - Must be that Spanish is transphobic.

Hey there, guys. Guess what. I'm thinking up a crossover between Steven Universe, My Little Pony: Generation 4, and the Southern Victory novels by Harry Turtledove. If you don't know about the novels, then Cody Franklin from AlternateHistoryHub, and EmperorTigerstar, might help out with that. If you want character motivations, then we might need either the actual novels, the Southern Victory articles of

I got an 84 on the final :D

Well, technically I got a 72 but then I took it again (I had 3 attempts) and got an 84

So now I have a 78 overall in Calculus (a C+ but it's fucking CALCULUS so I don't mind that much, I care only that I passed and I can go on to Calc III since I have above a C)
