~why is this book telling me george washington is a hero when he raped, murdered, and tortured people like me to get paid?
~why is this book telling me abraham lincoln graciously freed the slaves when he just wanted to save the union and thought people like me were inferior?
Why is this book telling me Egypt is in the Middle East and not apart of Africa ?
Don’t befriend writers unless you want texts like this at 4:17 in the morning.
You think that's bad, you should see History students.
In bed with a dragon: conception of Alexander by Nectanebus and Olympias, watched by Philip II (British Library, Burney 169, 1468-1475)
Wow the new 50 Shade of Gray movie looks great.
Let’s be real, in a time before the internet people didn’t have more adventures and make more meaningful connections. They watched TV and listened to CDs. Before that they listened to records and read magazines. Before that they listened to the radio and read bad dime novels. Before that they embroidered or some shit.
People have been staying inside and ignoring other people for as long as there have been buildings.
Mostly they used to embroider or mend stuff or read the bible.
Before that they crafted or fixed household things.
Before that they made tools or weapons.
Ignoring each other dates back to the god damn stone age.

reblog if u remember when apple was a FRUIT, kids played OUTSIDE not on their ipads, and decomposing VICTIMS of the BUBONIC plague LITTERED the STREETS
yah kids these days and their playstations and gameboys what ever happened to ROLLING HOOPS down the street and HITTING them with STICKS while trying not to be CRUSHED to DEATH by horse drawn CARRIAGES full of the BOURGEOISIE?
To the people who try to discredit or derail my arguments because I curse:
My life.
Literally me at the museum.

Please tag your world war 2 spoilers I’m only up to 1942
thERE’S A SECOND WORLD WAR WTF MAN SPOILER ALERT
Oh shit, don't tell them about the plot twist with Japan and the US. Talk about your ships sinking...
i love that world war 2 is called world war 2
it sounds like the sequel to an action movie
“WORLD WAR 2….
GERMANY’S BACK, AND THIS TIME….
IT’S PERSONAL”
this has a great deal of accuracy though
and sequels are always worse than the original
the Cold War is basically just the United States and the Soviet Union saying how big of a penis they have but when it comes down to it neither of them actually want to flash the other to show for fear the other actually does have a bigger penis
Holy shit, that’s spot on
I don’t post faulty penis analogies so of course it is
