  • Well and going back to my original point, US history class at least for me ended at 1946, when the UN UN-nazi’d the world forever after having defeated Charlie Chaplain. And I think it’s because much after that and the generations that were (and still fucking are god dammit) in control of curricula personally remember those events and thus refuse to label them as “history.” Because my 70 year lifespan is basically now, so if kids these days don’t remember the Tet Offensive that’s they’re own fault, god fuck 'em.



  • If you were to ask my teachers, American history goes revolutionary war, then nothing happens for awhile, then the civil war, then nothing happens for awhile, then WW1 had to happen so that we could have ourselves a WORLD WAR TWO! The four years that make up 9/10ths of American history. And then the Japanese signed the surrender on the deck of the USS Missouri and then stuff I-the boomer history teacher-personally remember so it legally can’t be history.
















  • Replace the patterned wallpapers with a solid paint tone. Decrease the visual clutter.

    I’m okay with swapping out the side chairs in the hallway with hall tables, though I’d go with a natural walnut tone rather than the uber dark espresso. Or hell, even a nice glazed black cherry, very warm. I’m also alright with doing away with the 4-post beds. My philosophy is why waste the wood on a footboard and posts out of some misguided search for fanciness? If you’re going to hang mosquito netting or actually do the old fashioned drapes to keep heat in, that’s one thing, but nobody does anymore.

    Sorry my woodworker’s hanging out, let me tuck that back in my sock.
