oliver singing made me cringe so bad. I can’t stand when people sing in movies that aren’t musicals
Actually, it’s not a “musical” thing at all, I think; it’s just something that actally does happen in real life. People singing at weddings is a fairly normal thing, at least where I’m from. There’s almost always some of the guests who have prepared something for the bride and groom / groom and groom / bride and bride, but it’s not uncommon for one of the spouses to sing for their partner, either - I can think of three weddings that I’ve been to where that happened on the top of my head.
Oliver has a white suit, the person was dead has a regular black tux. So I’m calling it now Oliver kills the man in tux who is most likely Gabe. Or Nate killed Gabe.
If it’s Nate I feel for him but It’d be way worse if Oliver was the killer, I don’t know if he could get through that.
Not to burst your bubble, but in the promo scene where they’re dancing, Oliver is wearing a black suit jacket too. So don’t get your hopes up just yet. I don’t want Oliver dying any more than anyone else does, but I think we can’t be relieved just yet…
Young voters are less likely to vote partly because people who haven’t voted loads of times before don’t know where to go and what to do. But! You can know those things! And lbr, if you wait until Tuesday morning that’s less likely to happen, so:
Make yourself a voting plan!
Including:
1) What you’re voting on: Check your sample ballot! This gives you a rundown of what’s on your ballot so you know before you go. It’s okay to leave things blank if you’re not sure how you want to vote on every race or issue! You can also pick candidates based on party affiliation - not perfect, but gives you a general idea, and it’s usually enough to know who you’re voting against. Or for a super easy quick overview go to VoteSmart and check who’s endorsed your candidates (under “ratings”), bc if the NRA (or ACLU or HRC) gives someone 100% (or 0%), that tells you a lot.
3) How to get there: Loads of cities and companies will give you a free or discounted ride there (not always back though so double check that!), and so will the Democratic party in a lot of places - search for your county’s Democratic party for their ride-share program. Also: public transit, carpooling with friends, checking if local community or religious groups/centers are giving rides, walking or driving yourself if you can.
5) What to do once there: Usually there’s a table where you check in and give your name (and sometimes ID, sigh) so they can give you your ballot and check you off the list of people who have voted. Like this:
Then you go stand in a booth/in front of a voting machine/in front of a table with privacy screens while you make your selection. Like this:
A huge number of people are already getting fucked over when it comes to being allowed to cast a vote in the upcoming elections. Let’s try to minimize what that number COULD be as much as possible.
It might also be useful to have the number for the ACLU written down (or already in your phone) so you can CALL THEM while still at the polling place and get whatever information is needed in order to see about having the ACLU sue them. Write down names. Get witnesses. Take photos. MAKE IT VERY CLEAR TO THE POLLSTERS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. (Unless you have reason to believe they’re going to be assholes and try to have you arrested for doing so, in which case, be as subtle as possible.)
The year is 1995, congress member Bernie Sanders stands in opposition of a homophobic statement said by Duke Cunningham. Cunningham derisively refers to “homos in the military” to support his argument while (strangely) discussing the Clean Water Act. Sanders, having none of it, quickly rises to the defense of thousands of men and women everywhere. Sanders ire is such that he repeatedly disrespects the Chairman by speaking over him in order to say his piece. [Video Source]
What does this say for Sanders? Well, that’s for you to decide. But to me, it says that for 20+ years strong he has shown his public support for LGBT+ persons everywhere, even in the face of ridicule and disrespect. Unlike some, Sanders has always been vocal about his beliefs concerning the LGBT+ community, and he has always held them. Key word always, and not just when doing so might garner him support for his campaigns.
Go watch ima, abbi. John Adams will probably fall in love with you. Your heart will break. Did you see the foosball videos?
What do we say? Please. Very good.
YES I DID. Washington is such a sore loser.
I have zero understanding of what actually happened but I love it. Jefferson’s a hipster punk bitch and Franklin is ultimate friend. Alexander Hamilton and John Adams are too precious for this world, George Washington’s a grumbling single dad and I want to protect James Madison from the world and its cruelties.
THAT WAS SO SWEET MY HEART BROKE INTO TWELVE PIECES Franklin is the ultimate Madison Babysitter. And that’s exactly what’s going on in the show tbh but with more pain and suffering.
“You let a general lose?” (intense sobbing) he’s so upset it’s broken and then “It’s okay, things break” which makes me Sad
I have a question
Why was Madison being fed apple sauce? What is it about apples that has the man so fixated?
I have no idea, I tried goo-go-l to find if it was something historic but it’s probably just an inside joke or all Madison wanted to eat true toddler tantrum style or he was Actually Sick and couldn’t keep anything else down. I have this headcanon he loves everything apple but actually hates applesauce. Maybe apples remind him of Dolley?
Well I googled it and the only thing I came up with was that TJ once wrote to him saying that no French Apple was better than their Newtown Pippin so maybe that’s it
