Give me a heartwarming Christmas movie about Satan traveling around the world every Christmas to deliver presents to all the young kids and kids with learning disorders and disabilities who misspell “Santa” on their Christmas letters every year
And Santa’s all like, “You know, I can handle a few spelling mistakes, I got this,” and Lucifer is like “They’re addressed to me, fuck off, I’m doing it.”
Lucifer being protective of his fanmail is ceaselessly entertaining.
honestly at this point im expectin the captain america movie to end like;
WHO is gonna be the next captain america…. is it bucky…. is it sam….
it’s…. it’s….
oh my GOD.. it’s LIN MANUEL MIRANDA

I had to babysit my girlfriends cat.
The cinematography and lighting of this video and score are better than half the shit I’ve seen in theaters. Fuck.
These are the films I’m into

Yet Hamilton shows how historians’ reliance on documents can make telling history precarious. In a pivotal scene after Hamilton has betrayed his wife, Elizabeth (called by her nickname Eliza throughout the play), she burns the letters he has written to her over the years. It’s an imagined scene that nonetheless demonstrates powerfully how fragile the historical record can be. She sings, “Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted when you broke her heart,” deliberately asserting her agency over what is remembered. Miranda ends the production with Eliza, too. The cast joins in song to explain that after Hamilton’s death it was Eliza who collected his papers for preservation. The lesson is clear: the sources historians rely on to craft historical narratives exist not by some consequence of nature, but because people like Eliza Hamilton worked to preserve them.

#all the love to #lin-manuel miranda #for recognizing that the work Eliza did was WORK #vital and important to the historical record #but also in shaping the society we have inherited #I have seen too many male historians and biographers #whose very careers rest on this work by bereaved wives and daughters #behave as if the contributions of those wives and daughters were negligible #ignorable #the kind of thing one naturally expects these wives and daughters to do #as if the labor of these wives and daughters is something that is OWED to Famous Historians #NO ACTUALLY IT IS NOT
