Young women with beef today:

“You ready to catch these hands?”

Young women with beef in the 18th century:

“Wait til that bitch sees this needlework sampler”

Events as they happened, day-by-day, beginning with the 1917 October Revolution, possibly continued into the Russian Civil War.

As of now, the Bolsheviks control Petrograd and have just won Moscow. Grigory Zinoviev, Lev Kamenev, and others have just resigned from the government to protest Lenin’s position on negotiating a coalition with the Mensheviks and SRs. And, in southern Russia, Kaledin and the Don Cossacks are forming what will become the White Army…

The drownings at Nantes (French: noyades de Nantes) were a series of mass executions by drowning during the Reign of Terror in Nantes, France, that occurred between November 1793 and February 1794. During this period, anyone arrested and jailed for not consistently supporting the Revolution, or suspected of being a royalist sympathizer, especially Catholic priests and nuns, was cast into the river Loire and drowned on the orders of Jean-Baptiste Carrier, the representative-on-mission in Nantes. Before the drownings ceased, as many as four thousand or more people, including innocent families with women and children, died in what Carrier himself called “the national bathtub.”

As a trained historian I can say with a mathematical certainty Robespierre would not have liked the Friday Beers account

J’approve.

My impression of the French revolutionary leaders based on Tumblr:

Robespierre: Loves birds Has a big dog Gets blamed for everything (including Hitler and Stalin) Lives with sisters (not his) Wears a powdered wig Ace/demi Loves SJ Saint-Just: Amazing hair (and he knows it) Youngest of them all   High cravat & earring Has a bad rep (wicked, evil, angel of death) Emo/goth Loves Robespierre Wrote self-insert smut as a teen

Desmoulins: Everybody calls him “Camille” Bi Hates SJ (it’s mutual) Adores his wife but flirts with everyone Journalist Woobified by novelists

Danton: Fuckboy Big & loud Speaks English Dudebro historians love him Exhumed and kissed his dead wife

Marat: You don’t want to mess with him

Did I get them right?

“Democracy perishes by two kinds of excess: the aristocracy of those who govern or the people's scorn for the authorities whom the people itself has established, scorn which makes each clique, each individual take over the public power and lead the people, through excessive disorders, to its destruction or to the power of one man.” — Maximilien Robespierre
