For anyone who loves the fact that Lincoln calls Stanton 'his Mars' in Manhunt (2024)
I hope you are also delighted to know he also had his Neptune, Gideon Welles
Lincoln often gave people affectionate nicknames and I love that for him.

Lincoln arrived back from Virginia late on Sunday, April 9, and he immediately went to Seward's house. "It was in the evening," Frederick recalled, "the gas-lights were turned down low, and the house was still, every one moving softly, and speaking in whispers." Lincoln entered Seward's room "with kindly expressions of sympathy," and sat down on the edge of his friend's bed. "You are back from Richmond?" Seward asked, his voice a mere whisper. "Yes," said Lincoln, "and I think we are near the end, at last." To converse more comfortably, Lincoln stretched himself out on Seward's bed and rested his head on his elbow, near Seward's head on the pillow.
[...]
Fanny recalled that Lincoln described for her father how, earlier that day, he had visited a Union hospital near Richmond and shaken the hands of hundreds of invalids. "He spoke of having worked as hard at it as sawing wood, and seemed, in his goodness of heart, much satisfied at the labor." Seward could not say much, be he listened to Lincoln talk for about an hour after which the president left. It was the last time the two men would see one another.

Enjoy it while it lasts, folks, because it won't be long 'til Cicely's breaking out her snowsuit and mukluks.

People talk about the surprise albums from people like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé that drop with zero warning but I have just been existing in this world where every album I've ever heard in my life has been a surprise album because I didn't know that musicians had schedules that we could see
