The story of Jordan Blisk, as told by Jess Ruliffson. I love reading trans stories with a happy ending.

Mike Pence...
Mike Pence attended Hamilton and the cast had something to say to him: “We are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us.” (x)
“You know, we have a guest in the audience this evening. And Vice President-elect Pence, I see you walking out, but I hope you will hear us just a few more moments. There’s nothing to boo here, ladies and gentlemen. There’s nothing to boo here. We’re all here sharing a story of love. We have a message for you, sir. We hope that you will hear us out.”
“Vice President-elect Pence, we welcome you, and we truly thank you for joining us here at ‘Hamilton: An American Musical.’ We really do. We, sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir. But we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us. All of us. Again, we truly thank you truly for (sharing) this show, this wonderful American story told by a diverse group of men and women of different colors, creeds and orientations.”
That was nowhere near harassment and that is nowhere near appropriate for the president fucking elect to say oh my god.
I guess they should’ve just grabbed his crotch instead…

Evening Post: August 12, 1899.
“She immediately alighted, caught hold of the astonished youth, and gave him a sound thrashing, using her fists in a scientific fashion…”
I would love to know what this means.
I think that might be code for “punched him in the balls with devastating accuracy”.
it is absolutely code for “punched him in the balls with devastating accuracy”
As is the case with boxing, it most likely means that she was precise and methodical. So, yes. She punched him in the balls with devastating accuracy.
“to the delight of several colliers who were passing” just imagining these coal miner bros standing around all WHOO YOU GO GURL

Show this quote to any...
Show this quote to any asshole who says that we should just accept Trump’s presidency because that is the “American” thing to do.
The end of that quote (which is real, it would seem from a quick google search) is, “Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.”
Seems apt.
