Featherofeeling - I Guess I Go Here Now

Congratulations to @KamalaHarris who is officially the FIRST Black female Senator since 1999! #BlackGirlMagic #BlackExcellence

another good reminder that we’re part of a long struggle. and I know who Woody Guthrie is - had never heard of Fred Trump before this year. our heroes shine brighter and longer

I suppose Old Man Trump knows Just how much Racial Hate he stirred up In the bloodpot of human hearts When he drawed That color line Here at his Eighteen hundred family project

– Woody Guthrie (!), December 1950…

…writing about the owner of the building he was living in – Fred Trump

Perfect. I nominate @copperbadge to inherit this task. 

(Any longer version in the works?) 

Yet another reason I’m sad Terry Pratchett is dead is because I just know that the Discworld novel he would have written in response to recent developments in Britain and the world would be fucking scathing.

Hi there, it's your check please secret santa!! It's not the greatest time in the world right now, so I thought I might try and brighten things up by asking who your fave character from CP is! Full explanations welcome

Aw this is incredibly lovely to receive today, thank you! I hope you’re doing OK. *sends love* So yeah, Bitty’s probably my fave because he’s this bright, excited, earnest, loving Southern kid whose world is expanding and who’s finally getting the experiences he hoped for. I just want him to be happy. I also like Ransom a lot because he’s handsome and kinda weird and a character of color (and Holster and Ransom’s friendship or romance is beautiful, as are their totally accepting attitudes toward Bitty). And Georgia; I feel like we don’t get enough of her, but she’s a powerful woman and has a sense of humor, and accepts Jack. I’m from Virginia, love the South for all its flaws, and express affection through baking, so I identify with Bitty, but I’m obsessive, scholarly, and anxious, so I identify with Ransom too. :) 

Aw, this was so nice - thank you! You seriously brightened my day (like Bitty!). I hope you have as good an evening as possible!

Please write a short piece of President Barton. Just - it will make a lot of people feel better. Please? (I understand if you don't, but please?)

(This is also somewhat to fulfill Mem’s request for a winter story post-election, which has been in my inbox for like a month. For reference, the rest of the “Clint Barton becomes President” AU is here: Leader Of The Free World.)

The first new snowfall in Washington DC in 2017, a few weeks after the Inauguration, brought icy road advisories, the roll out of the salt trucks, and Vice-President Steve Rogers banging on the window of newly-minted President Clint Barton’s bedroom, which was on the second floor of the Residence.

“Agh, God,” Clint mumbled, rolling over and coming face to face with Steve, wearing a jaunty knit hat and pressed up against the glass. “What is he doing?”

Maria, who had already been up for an hour (”Executing the queer agenda requires getting up earlier than the Republicans, darling”) and was putting her earrings in at the vanity, said, “I think he’s waving madly and asking if you want to build a snowman.”

Clint sat up, rubbing his bristly hair the wrong way. “HOW DID YOU GET PAST THE SECRET SERVICE?” he yelled at the glass.

“LIKE THE SECRET SERVICE WOULD STOP ME?” Steve yelled back, muffled. It was a point. The Secret Service had already given up stopping Steve doing anything.
