The fact that Simon ever thought Maddy was a hallucination is so funny to me. Like did you hallucinate that gay ass letter to?

I feel as though it is appropriate timing to weblog this

One of the greats, even

Welcome to Weird White House, a new series on the wacky facts that I find and/or remember off the top of my head about the US presidents. I say "weird" with all the love in my history nerd heart.

We start the series (and year) off with:

CALVIN COOLIDGE

THIS DELIGHTFUL DUDE

JUST DELIGHTFUL.

Nicknamed "Silent Cal" because he apparently wasn't super talkative (and it totally wasn't his secret gangster name), Coolidge:

-had a pet raccoon named Rebecca which was sent to him from someone who thought he should make it his Thanksgiving dinner and his family was like NAH THIS IS PET MATERIAL

-he loved being photographed wearing Native American headresses (he was adopted into the Sioux tribe), so here's what that looked like:

AND HE WAS PHOTOGRAPHED IN THESE THINGS

I would 1000% vote for an candidate who swaggered around with their name on their giant cowboy chaps.

-After President Harding's sudden death, Coolidge was woken up in the middle of the night, sworn in by lantern light by his dad (who was a notary), and then he went back to bed. Priorities.

-speaking of which, Coolidge slept 12 HOURS A DAY PLUS NAPS. Role model for us all.

-he had a mechanical horse in the White House that he used for exercise. Its nickname was "Thunderbolt".

Tragically, it didn't look like the ones that used to be outside Walmart:

You're welcome for that whole mental image of a stern-faced Coolidge rocking off into the sunset on a mechanical box.

-despite his stern demeanor, Coolidge had a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor which a lot of people didn't get, which brings us to

MY FAVORITE FACT ABOUT CALVIN

-Coolidge liked to press buttons in the Oval Office and hide under the desk while the Secret Service ran around looking for him

I KID YOU NOT THIS MAN WAS A P R A N K S T E R

Additional photos of interest that exist:

1.) Coolidge staring at a cow:

(someone please caption that)

2.) COOLIDGE'S KITTIES BLACKIE AND TIGER:

so freaking cute

And finally

3.) Coolidge exercising with the Speaker of the House, as one does:

So if Coolidge isn't one of your top favorite presidents by now, go sleep for 12 hours and try again.

Hey. Look at me. Please leave yourself a note somewhere you'll see it later that says "it is going to take years if not decades to get the United States government to the level of functionality it had in November of 2024." If we elect a democrat in 2028, we are not going to be up and running by 2032.

Please make sure you have a reminder in your phone reminding you to not look at 2028/32/36 Democratic candidates and say "why are they not promising/delivering Cool Shit?" because you are going to understand that to get Cool Shit we must have competent people running a decently funded government, and we are not going to have that.

We are not getting UBI. We are not getting single payer healthcare. We are not getting free college or free preschool. We are not redistributing wealth on a large scale. We are not getting free internet. We are not getting ranked choice voting.

If we are lucky, we are going to get an IRS that can collect taxes, qualified schoolteachers, research grants, Social Security, and a government that thinks maybe it should be a priority for people around the worlds to not have AIDS, malaria or TB.

Roger Taylor Pregnancy Headcanons/Timeline

(Part 3: The Pregnancy)

A/N: So this took forever. I have not written at all and now I’m on winter break. However, I have been with family and I don’t really like to write around people. So, writing is very difficult with a constantly full house. Thank you for your patience, here it is.

First Trimester:

Roger would 10/10 be protective

In the first trimester he would constantly be worried about you

He would be very specific about what other people could eat around you (for fear of you getting sick)

He insisted that you do no vigorous activity because he didn’t want you to get hurt

Plus, you thought he was overly jealous and protective before you got pregnant?

Now someone could look at you oddly and he was ready to snap their neck

He was so excited for you to grow a bump and he would almost always (consciously or unconsciously) have a hand on your stomach

He was always so excited and told just about anyone he could

Second Trimester

After around the 4 month mark, the pregnancy really started to sink in

You guys were going to have a baby to take care of in less than 6 months

However, this never stopped him from being ecstatic about starting a family with you

You guys didn’t end up finding out the gender yet ( A/N: I didn’t want to limtit y’all. Pick whatever you want.)

Even though Roger argued with you, you wanted to be surprised

Your mood swings were so abrupt and aggressive that Roger could barely keep up with them

Being the drama queen that he is, Roger would just end up in whatever mood you were in and I t was not pretty when this occurred

He also practically worshipped your bump

He loved it

He would talk to it all the time and would always have a hand on it

You guys started baby shopping around this time and he couldn’t figure out for the life of him why it was that furniture was so difficult to put together

“It’s for such a small person, why must it be so complicated?”

Roger really just couldn’t wait for your baby to arrive

Third Trimester

When the guys decided that you didn’t already have enough baby things, they took a little shopping trips

Having 3 grown men show up randomly at your home with huge bags of baby things was quite a shock to you

Especially because they showed up around 7 in the morning

Things happening at odd hours became normal during this time

Everyone suddenly got more protective of you (if that was even possible)

Roger would barely let you leave the house

And if he decided you were able to escape that day, he would have one of the guys or your friends be with you at all times

All in all, Roger was a nervous wreck

He was going to be a parent and he was going mental about how bad of a dad he might be

He constantly made sure that you were happy, comfortable, and fed

He painted and decorated the baby’s room, he packed the hospital bag

He wouldn’t even let you leave the couch without assistance

Roger felt as though he had to prove himself in some way

When he finally came home crying one day, he told you how terrified he was about not knowing what to do

“Rog, you’ve overworking yourself because you have no clue about being a parent? No one knows exactly what to do with a first kid. You can’t excpect so much out of yourself, it’s too much pressure.”

“God I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Roger calmed down about proving himself as a father

However, he didn’t stop being over protective of you (bless your patience)

You know the saying “calm before the storm”

Yeah well that applied perfectly to your scenario

Because you see, once you told Roger that you were having contractions

All hell broke loose
