Dude You Wont Believe What Just Happened

Who knows about Sally Hemings?

She was Thomas Jefferson's slave.

Called his "mistress," but how can you be a mistress when you were a slave, a child, and could not consent? Had absolutely no choice?

She bore him 6, perhaps as many as 8 children. He kept her locked in a basement room.

The room was recently unearthed, and DNA evidence has proven the lineage of Sally's children.

She was beteeen 12 and 14 years old when he started raping her, and Jefferson was in his forties. He freed the children that he had with her, but not Sally. Her daughter had to free her mother after Jefferson passed away.

This is not taught in schools. This side of history. We are supposed to consider the founding fathers as great men, fighting for justice and freedom, guided by God... when they are evil men. Selfish men who did nothing, save that it was for their own aggrandisement, personal benefit, and financial gain.

I would also like to add that Sally was Jefferson's dead wife's half sister. Sally's mother was raped by her owner, who was Martha (wife of Thomas) Jefferson's father.

These people left a legacy.

A legacy of entitlement under the most criminal of circumstances, and White Supremacist beliefs which pervade U.S. Society and Culture, to this very day.

Taking time to affirm and appreciate yourself everyday is so important.

do men have resting bitch faces as well or do they not have negative characteristics ascribed to them for putting on a neutral rather than a deliriously happy facial expression

This:

One thing I love about the Les Mis fandom is that we’re such flexible shippers. Like, most of us have favorite ships that we really love, but I don’t think I’ve seen a single ship-hate post in any of the tags; the ‘worst’ I’ve seen is, “I don’t really ship it but, hey, whatever.” Pictures and headcanons sometimes get reblogged by people who don’t normally ship something, because they acknowledge the cuteness of the post. There’s plenty of multishippers. It’s just been, as far as I’ve seen, a really safe shipping space, and that makes me so happy.

what college does to a motherfucker 😭😭

happy october
