This sort of stuff just doesn’t happen.

The former U.S. ambassador to NATO this morning letting trump know how the organization actually works.

(5/6) “I knew the moment Mark came home. The general was with him. That morning I’d seen on the Internet that two soldiers were killed in Iraq. I immediately walked into the bathroom, and Mark was shaving, and I asked him if he thought it could be Jeff. He told me: ‘No way. We’d know by now.’ So when Mark came back home a few hours later, I knew. I started finding pictures of the boys together, and spreading them out on the table. I kept thinking: ‘The boys are together, the boys are together, the boys are together.’ I think I freaked out General Valcourt. He probably thought I was crazy. But saying those words was the only thing holding me together. The boys had always been so close. They were best friends as well as brothers. They did everything together. They even joked that they’d build their houses together, and share a pool, and share a dog. After Kevin’s death, Jeffrey always told me: ‘Don’t worry Mom. He’s with me. I can feel it.’ All of us kept journals when Kevin died. The grief counselor recommended it. But Jeffrey was the only one who kept it up. He addressed every entry to Kevin. They shipped us Jeffrey’s journal when he died, and the last thing he’d written was: ‘I’ll be in touch.’”

In my highschool we are putting these signs up. We put the first picture up and if someone rips it off, they get the one to the right beneath.

I love you and I like you.

Finally, the Eliza-Angelica-Hamilton “love triangle” is one of the most egalitarian, feminist love triangles in theater history. Not only do Angelica and Eliza maintain a warm, loving, respectful and noncompetitive relationship with one another throughout – they each independently determine how the “love triangle” is going to work out. Angelica decides to let her sister “have” Hamilton – Hamilton has no say in the matter. Eliza decides to not be threatened by her husband’s love of Angelica, because hey, she loves Angelica too! Neither is threatened by the other, both enjoy a flirtatious, bawdy relationship with Ham, and no one feels undermined or neglected. 

And now you’re tearing through the pages and the ink.
