Stamp Act Congress Grand Opening Livestream

TYLER: “how many NPs have you met?” Well, I’ve met… Alfred

JENNY: [snort] yeah everyone knows we’ve met Alfred because he was just here five minutes ago

TYLER: Alfred was my first, obviously

JENNY: [makes a face]

TYLER: I’ve met Mr. Canada, he was my second. I’ve talked with their offices more often than I’ve talked to them.

JENNY: We’ve met France and England

TYLER: yeah. I met- well, this is funny. I met Kiku Honda which was really cool but I sorta… recognized his voice. And realized.

JENNY: you were a fan of his streams?

TYLER: yeah but this was years ago so no one knew it was him. But I knew. And I think he could tell I knew. And it keeps me up at night.

JENNY: do you still watch him?

TYLER: obviously.

JENNY: I’ve met lots of them. Mexico is really cool.

TYLER: I saw her from across a room once.

JENNY: I can’t name all of them that I’ve met because- okay, nevermind, next question. “When will Alfred be back?” Can the man not have a snack break in peace? On his birthday?

TYLER: “you’ve met two time streamy winner Kiku Honda?” Yes that’s what I said.

JENNY: I’ve met tumblr user Prussia if anyone cares

TYLER: I don’t think people know what that means.

JENNY: the people who matter will care

Alfred did something that made his own government arrest him, rush a trial to get him declared incompetent, and send him to an asylum to receive a lobotomy and other things that apparently didn’t work quickly enough for Secretary Rusk’s liking. Matthew’s been thinking about that detail a lot—the idea that they wanted a quick fix to an unsolvable situation beyond their understanding. When they couldn’t find the solution they wanted, they lobotomized him. Matthew Williams receives a letter in February of 1963 announcing that his brother, whom he has not heard from in months, has been staying at Philadelphia State Hospital since November. Following two months of recovery, Alfred is ready to return to society after his lobotomy.

what did i spend all day doing instead of working on a fic? updating This is the Place to Affix the Stamp to be FULLY kitted out with some cool workskins. feel free to check it out or whatever. theres bound to be little errors but im DONE people im not fishing around in A QUARTER MILLION CHARACTERS WORTH OF CSS to fix it. so if you see something sketchy you keep it to yourself (/lh) it should all be good to go. enjoy.

for all of you who read it before i updated it, you can have this ribbon

this is a really good question. firstly, women who have not experienced childbirth can sometimes Acquire The Ability to lactate if their hormones are doing the right things, and considering that this is a situation with magic at play, it is possible that it happened. If it didn't happen, I imagine in Sarah's case, she might could claim to have some illness where its not possible for her and some other member of the community could volunteer.

but another thing is the fact that in very specific and rare circumstances, men can breastfeed their children when it is necessary. There have been many accounts of this happening. it isn't necessarily a sex-locked trait, its just not common. aaaaand i will remind you once again that this is a situation which involves magic.

so, like, ill let everyone decide for themselves how they wanna imagine how that situation went.

I do think that while living in Europe they would have hired nannies and wet nurses just to make life a lot easier, especially because they do have "jobs" that they have to attend to and can't look after their babies 24/7. but you are correct in that they had many, many sleepless nights
