magicallylincoln: Signatures of all our presidents Some of these are so wonderfully exquisite, like William Henry Harrison’s, Or Gerald Ford’s. Washington’s signature looks like a piece of art like goddamn calligraphy. For some reason Andrew Jackson felt the need to underline his name, and I’m not gonna lie but John Quincy Adams’ signature tells me that he hadn’t ever mastered the art of writing in cursive because it looks like the handwriting of a six year old. His dad’s name, on the other hand, looks like a teenage girl wrote it. Jefferson’s looks like he was drunk every time he had to sign something, and God knows what was going on with Taft when he signed his name. Must’ve been tripping on acid. But notice the gradual change from elegant penmanship to mere scribbles like men need to learn how to write beautifully again.

I’M SO ANGRY

SOME 16TH CENTURY ASSHOLE WROTE “GOD B W YE” IN A LETTER AS AN ABBREVIATION FOR “GOD BE WITH YE”

AND IT APPEARED AS “GODBWYE”

WHICH WAS THEN READ AS “GOODBYE”

AND THAT’S WHY WE SAY “GOODBYE”

BECAUSE OF 16TH CENTURY CHAT SPEAK

this is the most important thing i will ever reblog

reblogging for the last one: the teacher from sandy hook who was gunned down after hiding her entire second grade class in a closet and telling the shooter that her class was in the gym. she made sure to tell each child that she loved them before she left them, knowing that those might be the last words they would ever hear.

This literally broke my heart, there are tears in my eyes

-quietly sobs- 

Love this. Just so people can remember the world isn’t a horrible place.

I love INTJs like you by the way… The nihilist ones are fun, but the romantic ones, like I am, are lovely…

I never thought of myself as a romantic, but thanks haha.

With Father’s day fast approaching, I would like to send a shout out to the people typically ignored on days like this:

  • To the people with abusive fathers
  • To the people absentee fathers
  • To the people who don’t know their fathers
  • To the people who cut their fathers…

"Science fiction isn’t just thinking about the world out there. It’s also thinking about how that world might be—a particularly important exercise for those who are oppressed, because if they’re going to change the world we live in, they—and all of us—have to be able to think about a world that works differently."
