I just got a book on Germanic military history, a book on the First World War, and heart stopper 5 at a bookstore and I’m in a sabaton 25th anniversary shirt and pink duck pants with a blue mullet, I have no idea what vibes I gave off the cashier but I hope they were good ones

PLEASE REBLOG

I’m considering coming out to my family as non-binary, and so today I brought up the subject of non-binary gendering/transgendering with my Dad as a casual conversational topic. He’s told me that if somebody is born a boy then they “should stay a fucking boy” and not trans to a girl or be a boy some days/girl other days/genderless other days.

I told him that I think gender identity should be something one can choose for themselves, and he says that nobody thinks like that and anybody who is trans/non-binary will just be shunned by every member of society they meet. He doesn’t think that people support n-b/t communities, because he doesn’t. He says to me that not staying one’s natural gender is wrong and against the point of being born a boy/girl.

Every person who reblogs this will have their URL written in a full-size writing book and when it is full I will show it to my father to illustrate to him the amount of people who believe that being non-binary is a valid gender identity.

Lesbian sex was invented as a way to pass the time on long train rides

not emby but i am trans so it would be dumb to hate on the Theys (and other pronouns emby people go by)

tsar Alexander: I hate all these fake bitches with their pompous ceremonies and shameless flattery. I hate the court.

also tsar Alexander:

HMS Dreadnought was a Royal Navy battleship whose design revolutionised naval power. The ship’s entry into service in 1906 represented such an advance in naval technology that her name came to be associated with an entire generation of battleships, the “dreadnoughts”, as well as the class of ships named after her. Likewise, the generation of ships she made obsolete became known as “pre-dreadnoughts”. Admiral Sir John “Jacky” Fisher, First Sea Lord of the Board of Admiralty, is credited as the father of Dreadnought. Shortly after he assumed office in 1904, he ordered design studies for a battleship armed solely with 12 in (305 mm) guns and a speed of 21 knots (39 km/h; 24 mph). He convened a “Committee on Designs” to evaluate the alternative designs and to assist in the detailed design work.

Dreadnought was the first battleship of her era to have a uniform main battery, rather than having a few large guns complemented by a heavy secondary armament of smaller guns. She was also the first capital ship to be powered by steam turbines, making her the fastest battleship in the world at the time of her completion.[1] Her launch helped spark a naval arms race as navies around the world, particularly the Imperial German Navy, rushed to match it in the build-up to the First World War.[2]

Ironically for a vessel designed to engage enemy battleships, her only significant action was the ramming and sinking of German submarine SM U-29; thus she became the only battleship confirmed to have sunk a submarine.[3] Dreadnought did not participate in the Battle of Jutland in 1916 as she was being refitted. Nor did Dreadnought participate in any of the other First World War naval battles. In May 1916 she was relegated to coastal defence duties in the English Channel, before rejoining the Grand Fleet in 1918. The ship was reduced to reserve in 1919 and sold for scrap two years later.

THIS IS A PSA FOR TALKING ABOUT GERMANY IN HISTORICAL FICTION/NONFICTION WRITING

German did not exist as a country until 1871

no one actually gave a fuck about prussia until 1763

and people only learned that prussia was an actually thing and, ya know, existed in 1740

ANY TIME BEFORE 1740 NO ONE WAS GOING TO PRUSSIA

AND PRUSSIA WAS ONLY A POWER AFTER 1763

did i mention that no one cared about prussia before Frederick the great? the guy who ruled from 1740-1786? because ive seen far to many times people talking about prussia and germany LONG before they should be talked about

the Keiser's and the kings of Prussia were different titles, but the same people had them

Keiser wilhelm I was the guy in charge when germany was uniting, keiser wilhelm II was the guy who was incharge during ww1 and was the last one, and wilhelm III was a nazi

edit: there were germanic states so someone could be germanic and people spoke german, but before 1871 no one was from germany

Please be historically accurate when writing about history
