#OTD in 1922 – The Parliament of the occupied six counties of Northern Ireland opt out of the Free State.
The parliament of Northern Ireland exercises its option to opt out of the Irish Free State and petitions King George V:
“MOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN, We, your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Senators and Commons of Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled, having learnt of the passing of the Irish Free State Constitution Act, 1922, being the Act of Parliament for the ratification of…
We've been without government for weeks, no one was taking action on it or even talking about it in Westminster and British media and now right when there was a push for an executive all the government's are shut down in the middle of a cost of living crisis leaving working class people without representation or action all because some pedophiles mother kicked it- well she went out doing what she loved, screwing over the colonies
Hi, my name's Aron. I've been a musical nerd/theatre kid for as long as I can remember if I'm being honest. I remember how big the fandom was in 2018, but I haven't really interacted with anyone since then. So we're gonna try to change that!
My favorite musicals are:
- Spies Are Forever
- In Trousers
- Falsettos (I have a preference for the original 1992 musical, but I like the 2016 revival as well. The Marvin Trilogy is my favorite ever)
- Something Rotten
- Next To Normal
- Rocky Horror
- Ride The Cyclone
Other musicals I enjoy are:
- A New Brain
- The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee
- The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals
- Holy Musical B@man!
- Avenue Q
- Six
- The Book of Mormon
- Beetlejuice
- School of Rock
- Bare: A Pop Opera
- Phantom of The Opera
- Heathers
- Little Shop of Horrors
- Hairspray
- Legally Blonde
- Waitress
- Bring It On
- Firebringer
- Trail to Oregon
- Jekyll & Hyde
- Bonnie and Clyde
And many more! My musical playlist is over 24 hours.
I'm currently trying to get into Anastasia, Hadestown, Eurydice, and The Lightning Thief. I'm re-watching Starkid shows right now, especially since Nerdy Prudes Must Die just came out.
#OTD in 1608 – Preparations commence for the plantation of six Ulster counties (Armagh, Cavan, Coleraine, Donegal, Fermanagh and Tyrone).
The Plantation of Ulster was presented to James I as a joint “British”, or English and Scottish, venture to ‘pacify’ and ‘civilise’ Ulster, with at least half the settlers to be Scots. James had been King of Scots before he also became King of England and needed to reward his subjects in Scotland with land in Ulster to assure them they were not being neglected now that he had moved his court to…
People are being terrorised in their homes simply for daring to exist on their own land and guess who this headline centers? 'loyalists blamed' cop on- that's how you want to present this story??? The PSNI will do nothing, as they are designed to do, the DUP will continue to rob us of democracy with no criticism let alone concequences and the media will centre the alleged aggressors as we descend into the violence we hoped would never ever come back.
NO ONE WANTS YOU TO TALK ABOUT NORTHERN IRELAND. NO ONE WANTS TO ADMIT THE BRITISH EMPIRE IS STILL ALIVE. NO ONE CARES ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO US. REBLOG THIS SHIT AND EDUCATE YOURSELF.
