Save the Library of Congress

View of the dome of the Library of Congress along with the circulation desk below. (Washington Post) The spirit of the Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress trembles as the institution’s leadership proposes $60 million in renovations, including the removal of the circulation desk in the middle of its Main Reading Room. The D.C. Preservation League has placed the Jefferson Building, which…

A new civics training program for public school teachers in Florida says it is a “misconception” that “the founders desired strict separation of church and state,” the Washington Post reports. Driving the news: That and other content in a state-sponsored training course has raised eyebrows among some who have participated and felt it was omitting unflattering information about the country's founders, pushing inaccuracies and centering religious ideas, per the Post. The Constitution explicitly bars the government from “respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Scholars interpret the passage to require a separation of church and state, per the Post. In another example, the training states that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were against slavery, while omitting the fact that each owned enslaved people.

Florida training program: "Misconception" that founders wanted separation of church and state

So ... DeSantis and his Fascist supporters want to just straight up lie to generations of children about the history of American violence, oppression, racism, and they are using the law to do that.

I’m speechless. I haven’t finished my coffee yet, and it’s early, but ... holy fuck. I am speechless.

#fuck republicans #teach the truth of america's racist history #the founding fathers all owned slaves #thomas jefferson was a rapist #george washington's false teeth were stolen from enslaved humans #america was build with enslaved human labor #teach the fucking truth you white supremacist christian nationalist fucks

#they dont even hide it too #everyone is as dumb as they were #they got their wedding photos in their desk nobody just bothered to go around #nobody even thought why tf alex and thomas enters the building the exact same time for 10 years now #nobody questions why they spend lunches together (in their defense they thought its an opportunity for them to argue)#hamiltrash #hamiltonmusical #hamiltonmovie #hamilton #jamilton #thomas jefferson

Across the Spider-verse spoilers

Okay so I might just be an idiot but if Miles was never meant to be spider-man in the first place, why is Miguel so certain that the Spider-Man canon events will effect him the same way

Like Miguel is so adamant that Miles IS NOT Spider-Man but the typical canon events would only be present if he was accepted as his universe’s spider-man which wouldn’t actually make him an anomaly

So either Miles isn’t actually an anomaly and then his stopped canon events will be an anomaly OR Miles is an anomaly and therefore his dad not dying won’t actually be an anomaly because he isn’t Spider-Man

#I feel like I phrased this poorly #but I think Miguel is too caught up in his emotions to see that this might be true #and will do everything to make the canon event happen #including killing Jefferson himself #idk if anyone else got that vibe but I feel like Spot isn’t gonna be the one who destroyed that building we saw falling onto Jefferson #anywho #across the spiderverse #across the spider verse spoilers #Spider-Man #miles morales #jefferson morales

Spider & Spot Dynamic Headcanons 2/?

Based off of my post >>> here

Part 1 of Spider & Spot Dynamic >>> here

-) Bullying is not tolerated in Johnathon's class. That goes double if the victim of such behavior is Miles. Johnathon knows how hard it is for Miles to be respected and acknowledged by his peers, so he constantly shuts down any disrespect directed toward Miles.

-) Miles and Johnathon are well-known by Spider Society and plans to contain both anomalies were called off after Johnathon calmly threatened Miguel:

"You and Morales can either come quietly or--"

"No, here's what I want you to do, Mr. O'Hara. You can either turn around and leave, or we can fight right here, right now, and I'll warp you into a dimension where you'll fall forever in a permanent loop."

"You won't--"

"You think I won't? Just ask Cletus Kasady. Now, leave, and we can both resume our respective roles as upstanding heroes of society. You keep away from my nephew, and I won't open a hole big enough to devour Nueva York. That sounds good to you?"

"...Fine, but I will keep tabs on you two."

"Just remember to keep your distance."

-) Jefferson took a long while to accept Johnathon and even longer to trust him. As a parent and an officer of the law, he has difficulty adjusting to the fact that a grown man is helping his kid fight other grown-ass adults. Jeff doesn't give a hoot that Johnathon can travel across dimensions and create holes to teleport wherever he pleases. Miles should be in school preparing for his future or at home safe with his REAL family, not putting himself in danger. The one good thing from all this is that Johnathon is upfront with him and Rio about their crimefighting shenanigans, keeps them both informed about their location and helps Miles with his homework.

-) Jefferson and Rio hate the pair's dimension travels, but so far, Johnathon hasn't taken Miles anywhere too dangerous and kept their travels safe. One time, Jeff went on a trip with Miles and Johnathon to observe, and surprisingly enough, he had a great time.

"So, this is Cyberpunk Brooklyn?"

"Of course! Miles and I stop by here all the time to shop for the latest clothes and goobers! Do you like it?"

"Huh... Johnathon, could you do me a favor and see if you can find a men's boutique in this area? I want a coat that glows in the dark."

-) One time, Johnathon and Miles built a plasma raygun using ancient tech they scavenged from an eldritch alien dimension, and during a test exercise, the weapon malfunctioned and melted half of their lair. Needless to say, Johnathon immediately disassembled the weapon and tucked it away where not even Miles could find it.

"Come on, Unc! Maybe we could use the parts to build something else!"

"No can do, kiddo. You're lucky the darn thing only managed to melt the walls into goo. We'll just build something safer...like a pen."

"..."

"What? You'd be the first kid in Brooklyn to own a pen made out of alien tech! Isn't that exciting?"

#miles morales #johnathan ohnn #the spot #across the spiderverse #I could go on and on about these two building stuff #or running little experiments #let the nerd uncle be a nerd with his adopted nephew who is also a nerd #oh and if you're wondering about cletus kasady #let's just say that johnathon did NOT want miles anywhere near this maniac so he trapped him in a dimension where he's falling forever #in a permanent loop #with no escape #jefferson and rio both approved

I worked and lived in and around Washington DC from 1983-1994. I never dreamed when I decided to return to England that 28 years would pass before I returned, but time has a tendency of slipping away.

How did South Park manage to use the name Clyde twice and the last name Donovan three times how is that possible.

#south park #clyde donovan #guys I think this might be my Clyde era #but also come on guys let the man be Clyde Donovan in peace #‘Donovan’ was in ‘The Jeffersons’ and ‘Do the Handicapped go to hell?’#and Clyde is Donovan (/Harris/Goodman) and Clyde frog #also mr. McCormick from Season 1’s ‘Death’ who gets shot in to a building #ndksvaksvkscankeisbweeewolowreekwowwwoe #weewooweewoo
