Section 110 of Article III. of the Constitution of the United States:

Ha! That’s such an awesome idea, I’m willing to build a time machine to make it happen.

Truly! I mean being enshrined in a place that is supposed to be all about history and they don’t label it The Fiction Room? Burn it all down.

So true. This day just gives me fucking hives. Check out Mississippi’s OFFICIAL STATE SONG up to 1950, especially verse 3. What in the everlasting. blue. fuck.

When I was younger, my grandmother asked if I wanted to join the Daughters of the Confederacy. Hahahaha. That’s seriously the only response I had.

You can be equally troubled by both. It’s easy, I’m doing it right now.

I think a lot of places have stopped celebrating it. I’m in Richmond and only saw one place that posted anything about it (a realty company run by a gun nut)

I remember talking to some Civil War reenactors (who are a fun weird bunch), and a lot of them said something along the lines of “blah blah I had relatives fights on both sides, I just honor those who fought.” But then, why not have a Civil War Remembrance Day? It’s not like the Confederacy had any history outside the…

People that don’t work retail? I have it off.

They could always just give you Black Friday and not force you to acknowledge that whatever nameless thing is being celebrated used to be celebrated on January 19th.

It well and truly sucked. I could only take small comfort in that my presence as a black woman sipping their punch and nibbling their nasty cookies was secretly upsetting to most (if not all) of them and would have surely enraged their predecessors.

Also from the south...Also wrote this article this morning way before it hit Parchis radar.

You should have let an electrical outlet “accidentally” spark in the library and burn the place down to the ground.

The Daughters of the Confederacy here in town realized that their membership was dying and fading away so they invited the community to an “open house” to appear friendlier and I guess to recruit(??). I had to go because of my job. There was a big open room with tall elaborate chairs all around that looked right of…

I absolutely adore Ina and Jeffrey. The affection they have for each other comes as as incredibly organic.

Jeffrey's gonna love this.
