Meeting David Jacobs had been one of the most profoundly unremarkable events to ever take place in Jack’s life.
In fact, David Jacobs couldn’t even produce Jacks name the next time they spoke. It was a completely unlife-altering occurrence. If they hadn’t worked together in Kath’s start up Jack probably never would have bothered to talk to him again. But they did, and he did.

I’m not abandoning this account, but I now also have another account.
Its more aesthetically lesbian then this one. Less fandom, more personal, art and photographs and that sort of thing. So,
I’m not abandoning this account I just don’t want to inundate you with stuff you didn’t follow me for.
If you want to check it out here’s the link.
If you would report an undocumented immigrant to ICE you would have reported me to the Nazis and I don’t fucking trust you
A note:
I live in a state where you “have to” report anyone you suspect of being undocumented (that wonderful hellhole of Arizona). Now in practice this law has fallen far short, thank goodness. But if you live in such a place and they start enforcing it, here is how you get around it:
Assume everyone who doesn’t speak English is visiting.
Never ask about their job, because if they tell you they work here then you know they’re not visiting. You see them a lot for several weeks or months? Hm. Someone in the family must be ill. That’s terribly tough. They always dress in old, ratty laborers’ clothes? I feel you, my dude, I can’t afford new clothes either, and my dad has the fashion sense of an aardvark, so sometimes it’s not even about “affording” them. They say they’ve been here for years? You must have misunderstood. Spanish isn’t your first language, after all. First and last name? It never came up, or you don’t recall–you meet a lot of people.
And then, if you’re asked: no, you haven’t seen anyone residing illegally in the United States. Just people visiting.
Very good very important addition
Essentially, this is the civil society version of a work-to-rule strike.
Don’t do more than is expressly asked of you, and do what you are asked with such an intense attention to protocol that not asking you at all becomes more effective than even bothering.
In this case:
“Have you seen an illegal immigrant?”
“Could you describe an illegal immigrant, officer?”
*officer describes a person who is in the country without appropriate paperwork, or who has crossed the border illegally*
“No, sir, I haven’t seen any illegal immigrant.”
And this is correct. You have NOT seen an illegal immigrant, because you have no way of knowing if Jose Fulano is here legally or not. And since you can’t see his paperwork (or lack thereof), and did not personally see him cross the border illegally, you are only answering precisely the question asked.
I’m not American, and I have like, three followers, but this is important.
“Panic attacks!?? Why didn’t you tell me!?”
Aaron looked up at the doorway that had just exploded with …
“Hamilton. Calm down. Close the door. Lower you voice. Please!”
“What the shit Burr! Why wouldn’t you tell me! I could help or …!”
“Help!? You think I’d tell you and ask for your help? You?!”
“Why is that so hard to believe?”
“ You!? Help? Hamilton you’re like an rabid animal. You sense any weakness and you strike. And you wanted me to tell you. So you could help!?”
Hamilton stood in the door way. Mouth hanging open just staring at Aaron. Aaron got up crossed the room and closed the dorm room door. He sighed.
“ Look, Alexander,” he paused for a moment, just thinking, “it’s not like I have something against you, I just know you okay? I know how you get and its not that serious so really there is no reason for you to freak out and I didn’t see why you would need to know. ”
“You think I would use that against you?” Alexander’s voice was soft and he sounded incredulous at the mere thought.
“It’s what you do.” Aaron said with a shrug, turning and settling back on to his bed. To his surprise Alexander turned in his heel, flung open the door, and marched through it.
Burr stared at the open doorway that he had just closed. Wondering what on earth had just happened.

I am about to influence a bunch of kids, again. And this time I need to be super careful not to mess up.
I’ve started my towns first GSA and first Pride, these are both thing I am astoundingly proud of, but my real baby, my real pet project, is a powerpoint and a pamphlet.
Thats it, just a pamphlet that I made defining most sexuality, gender identities and a bunch of resources for LGBTQIA youth, wether its for health reasons, bullying reasons, need more info, etc.
I can’t fit all the information I have compiled over the months into this but the rest will be in the powerpoint. Because my pet project is teaching the middle schoolers that there is more out there, that they aren’t crazy.
I’m putting forward the information I needed at that age. Because that was the age I started googling and questioning and finding shitty sources that only confused me, so instead I am going to give these kids a basic education and then the resources they need to find out more, because this is where the education system failed me.
I have complied everything I needed to know at that age, but I am not all LGBTQIA youth. (Feel free to share so the most people possible can way in on this.)
So, what would you have wanted them to teach you about LBGTQIA matters in middle school? What do you wish you had known?
Aaron was hating himself as he walked out of his dorm. There was a tightness in his eyes he was normally able to keep hidden. Aaron Burr was not opinionless, in fact he had lots of opinions. He even shared them sometimes, but not with him. Not with Alexander Hamilton.
No, Aaron had always been careful to keep his armer on around Alexander, no matter how much he liked him, it was a necessity. Hamilton was ruthless when he got worked up. Anytime there was a chink in Aarons armer that he let Hamilton see within a week Hamilton stuck a well placed knife into it.
Aaron had always been guarded, letting down his walls only to those he trusted. He wanted to trust Alexander, he really did, however, Aaron knew it was a bad idea. Aaron tried to be a voice of reason for Alexanders constant state of “ready-to-go-off-right-now-you-have-no-idea-Burr-can-you-belive… !” but more often then not he just found himself being pushed aside (literally or figuratively depending on the moment) as an angery Hamilton went for the jugular of whoever he was currently at war with (usually Jefferson).
When Aaron was first given Alexander as a roommate he tried to have debates with him, just normal academic debates. However, he soon found out Hamilton didn’t have an off switch and could make the simples argument very ugly very fast.
“Ayeee, Burr where you goin’?“
“He looks like he’s seen a ghost man, HEY BURR, You look like you’ve seen a ghost man!“
Aaron looked up in surprise, he hadn’t realized he was still walking. He was in the middle of the science quad.
“Laurens, Mulligan, how are you.“ He said in what he was planning to be a cordial voice. However it came out as breathy and near panicked.
”Hey, you alright man?“
“Of course!“ but it came out as a gasp and Aaron suddenly had to put his hands on the edge of the fountain to stay upright. He had a shortness of breath that was horribly familiar and his vision was swimming. He tried to focus on controlling his breathing, forcing himself to calm down and waiting for it to pass.
Aaron vaguely became aware of voices, soon after he became aware they were directed at him.
“Yo, Burr, talk to me man, whats happening?”
“John, maybe you should back up, or we should get some help, or…“
“No…“ Burr gasped out turning around to sit on the edge of the fountain his hands had been gripping.
“No,” he said much calmer now “I assure you I’m fine“
Aaron looked down at his hands, embarrassment blooming in his cheeks. Aaron found himself unable to force himself to meet their eyes.
“What was that Burr?“ Mulligans voice was low.
“Panic attack“ Aaron said as casually as he could manage, having his hand as dissmisive as possible.
“Shit Burr, I didn’t know you had that!“
Aaron felt himself tense up.
“Look, normally I’m better at controlling them, its not a serious issue. I- would you mind- just - could you do me a favor and not mention it?”
“Sure“ said Mulligan and then “Does Alex know about them?“
“No.“
“He’s your roomate don’t you think he should…”
“It hasn’t effected his quality of life yet, I don’t see the need…”
“Burr, I didn’t mean it like that, just so you can get some help if you need it. Or if you have one in front of him.“
“I have. He didn’t notice.“
“Well shit man.”
Aaron closed his eyes. He knew they would tell Hamilton. They always told him everything. He opened his eyes and looked at the empty archway of the quad wondering what Alexander would say, and how he would use this against him.

Alright so in the last week of school I remember this person saying “Bob ross” and “Thomas Jefferson” in the same sentence, and I just remembered it and had to draw it.
Almost all enlisted soldiers are responsible for sanitation at least once in their careers unless given certain privileges that are not standard. It doesn’t matter if it’s fiction or in reality, most of the people serving in the military, will work sanitation at least once in their military career.
As a Stormtrooper, Finn was so damn good, both Hux and Phasma considered him the best in the entire Order. Phasma claimed he was Officer material. Hux wanted to make him a Captain one day! Finn carried the FN corps and his squad as the best soldier to the point where he could complete simulated missions on his own.
Fun fact, Finn might have “moped the floors” of The supremacy after the day was over, but what was his actual job on the ship?
He served as one of the executioners.
There are many things about Finn that he hasn’t divulged yet, mostly because he is ashamed of his time in the First Order and Lucasfilms refuses to give him a novel or comic series detailing his past.
The only reason Finn wasn’t already a ranking soldier by the time TFA rolled around was because of his compasion. During an earlier mission on a mining colony, Finn and his squad were ordered to gun down a large group of protesters. Finn was the only one that refused. The worst part is? Phasma had lied to Finn, telling him the mission was against the New Republic soldiers, not civilians.
That’s right! Jakku wasn’t his first mission! And this isn’t a continuity error, that story was told in the Before the Awakening novel. While everyone was celebrating a successful mission, Finn was back in the simulator alone, training and slowly coming to the rea that he could never be like the other Troopers. Both JJ and John were aware of this story.
Finn told Rey he made the choice not to kill for the First Order during his first mission, he never said that his first mission was on Jakku.
Finn tried to bury that mission down, but Slip’s death, accompanied with all of the innocent slaughter, brought him right back there in a fit of PTSD.
Look back on both TFA and TLJ and pay attention:
I’m not really sure how not wanting to murder innocent civilians = coward, and I don’t think I want to know.
I’m also not sure how wanting to not fight with a Volunteer militia after already saving the galaxy and getting your spine almost severed = coward.
Let’s not forgot how everyone overlooks the fact that unless the Reysky theory is true, Finn had a closer and longer relationship with Han Solo than Rey did!
We have Han praising Finn, because he notices he’s clearly still going through something internally.
Han literally giving Finn fatherly advice, because he knows Finn’s already fallen hard for this independent, violent woman Rey, and Han has plenty of experience thanks to Leia with dealing with that stuff.
Finn fighting alongside Chewie and Han against a platoon of Stormtroopers and each of them protecting the other with their life.
Han encouraging Finn and giving him confidence when he was around people that would have shot him on sight if he was in his Stormtrooper armor.
Then there was the time Finn, Han and Chewie went on a suicide mission behind enemy lines together to destroy Starkiller base and save Rey.
Then of course there’s Han being Finn’s mood killer, and probably the only time I’ve seen Rey roll her eyes at Han.
And finally Finn did indeed react to Han’s death by choking out “Solo” and his fight with Kylo was more than just protecting Rey, but avenging his friend and comrade Han.
Let’s not forgot how Leia instantly hit it off with Finn, thanked him for saving Poe, and praised his bravery for leaving the First Order. In hindsight, Leia probably wished Kylo was more like Finn.
Something Ben Solo stans also wish but refuse to admit.
And let’s also remember how not only did Finn know exactly who Luke Skywalker was in TFA, but he was literally only person in the entire Resistance who stepped forward and wanted to fight Kylo with Luke. BARE FUCKING HANDED I MIGHT ADD!
My favorite thing to hear is how people like Kylo because he’s a victim of child and he’s suffering with hurting others.
Okay, Kylo is NOT a victim of child abuse. Y’all can keep editing his wookipedia page to say he is, but all forms of canon disagree. Ben Solo had a happy and loving family, and he loved them. Kylo’s life went down hill when he sided with Space Hugh Hefner.
Wanna see a real abuse victim who’s dealing with the pain of watching innocents die?
Finn, the enslaved soldier who was stolen away from his family to fight for a fascist organization in a conflict he didn’t start, is having a PTSD panic attack because the closet thing he had to a friend just died in his arms and he had to watch as a group of innocent civilians, men, woman, and children, were slaughtered in front of him. Mind you, this is the second time according to canon he’s seen this happen.
I’m tired of Finn being erased in this franchise, because of some bull excuses to cover up their racial preference. Finn is the co-protagonist of the sequel movies, and that’s not changing, especially since JJ Abrams and John Boyega are back together for IX.
