though looking at the comments the folks who live in the red part think this is why the electoral college has got to stay. because they like getting 3.5 votes per capita.
Tyranny of the few is a pretty sweet deal if you belong to the few.
“Why should the coast’s vote count more?” BECAUSE THAT’S WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE AND THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A DEMOCRACY.
Everybody in this fandom should think VERY HARD about what they’ve done.
Anyway, here is 12.5k of Peter and Nightingale discovering they accidentally got married eight years ago, per Tumblr’s latest favourite Imagine Your OTP scenario, and then trying their best to get divorced. Shenanigans, naturally, ensue.
Featuring cameos from Bev, Abigail, Molly, Sahra, Sahra’s lawyer sister who I made up just now and am already very fond of, and two of my three favourite OC apprentices (sorry Annie: you had to sit this one out.)
Members of the International Ladies’ Garment
Workers’ Union marched in Labor Day parades in New York City to promote the efforts of organized labor and encourage people to buy
clothing with a “union-made” label.
Founded in 1900, when the garment industry was
growing rapidly in New York, the ILGWU reached its peak membership in 1967, with
455,164 members. Membership declined in succeeding decades, and the union was dissolved
via merger in 1995.

i’m watching an art theft documentary and they’re interviewing this art history professor from new york who was asked to go with the fbi to authenticate a rubens that had been stolen but it was a sting operation so they had to pretend like they weren’t the fbi, that they were some private buyer about to pay $3.5 million for it, and the fbi was like “this is a VERY delicate operation because you never know how they will react to what you have to say so let the agent do all of the talking, don’t say a word to anyone just nod if it’s the rubens, the last operation we did the guy in your position got shot because things went wrong in a second” and then it cuts to the professor’s interview and he says “i wasn’t going to fly down to miami to be a part of an undercover fbi sting operation to handle what could be rubens’s aurora and just NOT say anything. i was gonna have to ad lib a little” and then he tells the interviewer that when he & the fbi agent got to the hotel while he was examining the painting he started lecturing the other people, first on how badly they had wrapped it, and then about like how it had been painted, the history of it, what the subject was and what she was doing, etc etc, and he was like “i hadn’t taught a class on rubens in 15 years, so for me it was like being back in the classroom except my students couldn’t leave”
at one point during the deal the professor turned to the woman selling it and he said “isn’t this just the most beautiful rubens you’ve ever seen outside of a museum?” (because the fbi had told him earlier that this piece had been stolen from a museum) and THEN he said “where on earth did you get it from?” and the group of people the woman had with her was like taxidermy-fox.png but the woman was like “inheritance” can you IMAGINE the fbi agent about to have a fucking aneurysm when this random guy you’ve brought in just to nod if it’s the right painting not only starts giving an impromptu lecture but then he asks how they got it
