The curious case of Robert Lincoln Today’s post comes from National Archives Office of Strategy and Communications staff writer Rob Crotty. On the night Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, his son Robert Lincoln was supposed to …

Abraham's eldest son, and only son to survive into adulthood, Robert Todd Lincoln- was present or nearby for 3 presidential assassinations. Bizarre, and I can understand his sense of being cursed because of it.

Signed, reposting. Support our libraries.

Just a little FYI....

This picture. The lean. We just lost our old boy, Walty. Happy to see that love between these two.

How to Stop Buying Things You Don’t Need It makes spring cleaning a little easier.

As it turns out, the only item I addictively buy is books. I currently have $159 credit at the used bookstore, and I feel FAN-TA-STIC about that. Everything else can go in my Goodwill pile...

I know, I know. Irony.

How is it the worst human rights, racism, animal abuse, and misogyny stories ALWAYS begin with, In Florida…?

Who doesn’t love family portraits?? Papu and Little Orange

I mean, it’s Shelley, and the poem is powerful and viscerally on point in its meaning.
Yet I can’t deny thinking of Walt and Hank when rereading it.

When fragile, weak egos are bruised….

The environment, diabetics, and integrity may die, but hypocrisy is alive and well in the new America.

I’ll open and read it, but let me state first I hope to God the answer is return the gifts. 😬

That response though: Fucking Bravo

You and me both, TT!

Bravo. Throwing support behind a fellow #writer!!

So weirdly disturbing and uncomfortable to watch.... and yet I can't stop watching.

30 Times Male Authors Showed They Barely Know Anything About Women This article shows examples of female characters written by male authors and an interview with Meghan Vondriska, who launched the ‘Men Write Women’ project!

Just finished reading Jo Nesbø's The Snowman which led me to looking at the male writer's tendency to write female characters only in terms of their desirability, their breast description, and the ubiquitous clinginess of clothing. 🙄 #writer #booksky #books

This is utterly remarkable. I wrote notes like this, filled out disability forms (that so often had vague questions not relevant to the body part ((eyes)) that I was examining), and more crap that just weighed down my days. Employers do not trust their employees-that's what all the sick notes imply

Yay for you to jumping over any resistance to change.
And you crack me up-- "and I can fuck off with that." Way to tell Former Self off!

Does your story prompt others to share their stories as well? I've just starting reading this. Love stories like this.

So, yeah. You've hooked me. This here is my cup of worms.

As the tip of my quill touched paper, I felt the stare of a creature. The creature seemed to .... adore me?

Got it. I think I still have my old pencil case with very old pencils somewhere.

Damn... as soon as I saw that, I thought, I remember knowing what that word meant once upon a time.

Disgusting.
This is when I wish #bluesky had an option other than a ❤️ to say I've seen this and I am appalled. #Blacklivesmatter
This is the same group who had an argument about never pulling down monuments.... remember?
