DEAD BOY DETECTIVES season 1 is now streaming on Netflix

The more I learn about Civil War politics, the more I'm convinced that Lincoln's most impressive and useful leadership trait was that he never let his pride get in the way of doing his job.

Other people in Lincoln's position would have come to Washington with something to prove. They'd have resented the insults and tried to disprove them. They'd have tried to seize power and credit, rejected help, spent a lot of time trying to reach a certain level of respect.

Lincoln's response to, "You're just a backwoods lawyer with no executive experience who makes too many dumb jokes," was pretty much always, "Yeah. And?" He had no interest in petty personal power plays. He had a country to run. There was a war on. It didn't matter what people thought of him so long as the job got done.

He was aware of his personal shortcomings and was always willing to accept advice and help from people who had more knowledge and experience in certain areas. He presided over a chaotic Cabinet full of abrasive personalities who thought they were better and smarter than him, but he kept working with them because they could get the job done. For example: Stanton was absolutely horrible to him when they were both working as lawyers. Just incredibly mean on a personal level. But when Lincoln needed someone to replace Cameron, he swallowed his pride and appointed Stanton as Secretary of War, where Stanton proceeded to be mean to everyone in the world, but he whipped that department into shape and kept it running efficiently through a very chaotic war. Pretty much no one except Lincoln would have been able to put up with that. He could put up with people who were personally difficult if they could do the job he needed them to do--which he was only able to do because his own ego didn't get in the way.

Lincoln's example is a prime demonstration of how humility isn't underrating yourself--it's being so secure in your own abilities and identity that you don't need to attack anyone or defend yourself to prove your worth. He knew his shortcomings, but he also knew his strengths. He was willing to give other people credit for successes and take blame upon himself for failures if it kept things running smoothly. He was secure enough in his own power that he could deal generously--but firmly--with people who tried to undermine him. In a city full of huge egos, in a profession that rewards puffed-up pride, that levelheaded humility is an extremely rare trait--which is what made it so impressive and effective.

shebbz i just want to say that you are single-handedly convincing me to watch mash... i know nothing about the show but ur chipping away at my brain like a misfolded protein

just make sure you watch it without laugh tracks

I swear to god if all the other episodes are also like an hour long I would die a happy woman.

Y’know

I try not to think about the cancellation too much and just enjoy being in the fandom and enjoying the show me the books that we have

But we were ROBBED of a second season

I’m still so genuinely upset

I cannot believe that they cancelled it, everyone who worked on it and everyone in the fandom deserved a second season

Why TWO strips in a week? Welllll, this strip is specifically referencing my first ever book signing for "Lycanthropy and the Single Girl", which is happening TOMORROW, July 22nd at Artist's Attic in downtown Oil City, Pennsylvania! As such, it seemed appropriate to post now. If you're in the area, I hope to see you then. For those that CAN'T make it, of course, you can order a copy of the book now that you know what it's about HERE: https://a.co/d/2v7fIKz

SAG-AFTRA is officially set to join the WGA in going on strike. No filming, premiere attendence or other promotion of any kind allowed.

I hope to see nothing but support for this decision.

Does anyone know how exactly to watch the new season premiere as an English speaker? Do I need to subscribe to Crunchyroll or another platform?

I got curious about this painting on Nancy’s wall because at first view it reminds me of Jancy and their situation with the long distance relationship. Soooo here is a superficial info about the painting in a moment of hyper-fixation 🤡 enjoy:

The paint is call “The singer” made by Wassily Kandinsky in 1903

Now this artist has a strong belief on color and figures as a way to “perform” a paiting, He also has refer the relationship between art (paint) and music, where you compone by harmony, instruments and the sensation the music makes you feel as a painter can in their works. (Which to me is so relatable)

Its interesting Nancy has this painting, and dare to say more of them because I have not investigated the others, because as I say, it’s from an artist that believes in such a strong way the line that take Jonathan to photography “you capture the right moment and IT SAYS MORE” and that’s what Kandinsky works deeply in his paintings, the abstraction not only as a way to express but to understand some emotions that can only be show trough color and shapes and art!

Going back to Jancy, as a first view “The singer” might be showing their relationship status, but is also how the season concentrates in music, emotions and memories trough abstract melody, just as Kandinsky works in his paintings.

As always, my native language is Spanish so I’m sorry for my lack in grammar ✨

we get to read a new percy jackson book tomorrow!!!! who’s excited!!!! i’m excited!!!!!
