important update on ken burns

ok hot tip i’m driving to austin and ~LISTENING~ to ken burns’s american revolution and it’s thrilling and depressing and inspiring and dispiriting and just a reminder that even geniuses are a mix of incredible and horrible and that every single thing is so complex and fucked up, even the good things. building this (dream?) republic based on (theoretical) equality is so revolutionary but the native americans and black people get absolutely effed in every way. but anyway i was honestly thinking I want to go on an am rev tour some day [any takers?] and thomas paine is kind of my new hero. MORE TO COME

who am i kidding

watching ken burns’s american revolution and a) I keep accidentally immediately falling asleep and b) sadly i’m 85% sure I’d have been a loyalist

constant mood
