I learned today that I cannot work on my writing in the hours before teaching. Because I hyper focused and almost missed class (was 2 mins late, very uncharacteristic).

I swear to you that in 1775, Isaac and Ruth Wedg named their newborn son Orronge. It's right here in the record.
Clip from a birth record saying "Orronge Wedg son to Isaac Wedg & Ruth his wife Born Octo 2d AD 1775"

I love how the photo with this review implies that the sweater is for her cat and he'll "grow into it".
Photo of a shorthaired ginger and white cat lying on top of a navy blue cardigan. Text says "This is very soft and well made. It runs large. I ordered a large for my son and it almost fits my 2xl hubby. That said, i love it and really wish I'd ordered a small or medium. I will keep the large because my son will grow into it eventually and he loves how soft it is."

I used this image for my final slide on incomplete conquests and the myth of pacification. My students did not know this image. Send help and recommendations for a cheap retirement home.

*sigh* Anyway Excessive state sponsored violence via public executions led to citizens revolts against the state as the state became a threat to daily life during the age of revs so pop off kings I guess.
