The thing I love about fanfic culture is that reader will say "Omg your writing created Atlantic ocean's big brother between my legs", and the writer will be like "Omg that so sweet thank youuuu 🫶🏻🤗" after writing a fic so dirty that the crew of Fifty Shades of Gray started praying (and I always take place in one of these two positions)
HA! You’re so right, I fucking love it here. Connecting over filth is one of the best ways to meet people too, met some life long friends doing this stuff!
Thanks for the asks, Anon! You’re very, very sweet!!!

BROTHER BILL
1915
Brother Bill (originally titled Home Again) is a three-act play by Thomas Louden. It was originally produced by George M. Cohan and Maynard Waite starring James J. Corbett.
James J. Corbett (1866-1933) was a professional boxer and a World Heavyweight Champion, best known as the only man who ever defeated the great John L. Sullivan. Corbett was one of the first athletes whose showmanship in and out of the ring was just as good as his boxing abilities. He was also arguably the first sports sex symbol of the modern era. After retiring from the ring, Corbett acted on stage and in films, also touring the world talking about his famous fight with Sullivan. He was dubbed ‘Gentleman Jim’, which was also the title of a 1942 film of his life starring Errol Flynn.
The play is set in a small English town where American customs and aggressiveness have confronted old English traditions. As the play opens, William Barron revisits the home of his wealthy and aristocratic parents after being in the United States for a dozen years. There he acquired the title of pugilistic champion of the world. His disregard of proper dress and other English conventions earn him a chilly reception from his pompous father and two brothers. Their dislike turns to disdain when they learn of his title. When William befriends Norah Malloy, the Barron family governess, the hypocritical family assume he has nefarious intentions and discharge the governess and order William to leave the house. When he learns that his brother John is candidate for Parliament on the Conservative ticket, William stands for the same office in the opposing party. To get elected, William enlists the help of innkeeper Tim Mooney, who is a fan of the pugilist.
In rehearsals, producer Cohan both changed the play’s name and cut the boxing scene, which frustrated and angered Corbett. He and Cohen argued about it, but Corbett agreed to open the play and let the audience decide.
Brother Bill opened in Atlantic City at the Cort Theatre on August 30, 1915. For this engagement, the Cort retained a full orchestra to perform entr’acte music from their recent production of Princess Pat.
The play integrated motion picture technology in telling the story.
About the Venue: The Cort Theatre at South Carolina Avenue and the Boardwalk, opened in 1907 as the Savoy Theatre with 1,500 seats. It was also briefly known as the Woods Theatre after producer / theatre manager A.H. Woods. Although no longer in existence, the year that it was closed is disputed.
“There are some obvious faults in the construction of ‘Brother Bill,’ which will require some ‘whipping’ before the play becomes a Broadway success. In the first act, there is a tendency to make the speeches somewhat too full, which hampers the action of the story. With careful pruning here and the injection of a little more crisp dialogue, there should be added more interest and speed.” ~ VICTOR MOORE
“It is a play that appeals to the sentimentally inclined and will doubtless have some success in the popular-priced theatres. The company surrounding the star is of ordinary worth.” ~ PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
~ September 12, 1915
Two weeks became four and four became eight. Brother Bill was permanently down for the count. TKO.
~ “James J. Corbett: A Biography of the Heavyweight Boxing Champion and Popular Theatre Headliner” by Armond Fields, 2001

Warner Brothers / Elecktra / Atlantic CMYK 7″ paper sleeve (1972-????)
Grateful Dead records were selling all over the place that distributors couldn’t keep up with demand. Thus, their own distribution channel Kinney Record Group International was created. Anti-trust laws forced it to rename itself as the WEA acronym (the Warner, Elektra, and Atlantic labels) starting in 1972.

National Purebred Dog Day
Mutts are adorable, and there is no denying that—their floppy ears, patches of different-coloured fur, and deep loving eyes. For those who just need a friend, someone who will be thrilled to see them when they get home, snuggle on cold evenings and always be up for an adventure, a mutt is the perfect pet. But over the millennia, there have been many other reasons people have needed dogs, to do many things they could not do alone, and those jobs required a special type of dog to do them right. As lovable as 25-pound mutts are, they don’t make very effective herding dogs, being too small to be taken seriously by both wolves and cows or sheep. When an excellent sense of smell is required, nothing beats the nose of the bloodhound that can follow scents both on the ground and in the air with its 300 million scent receptors. What dog could possibly be better suited to pulling a sled though ice and snow than the resilient, independent husky?
Due to the occasional puppy mill horror story we see on TV, dog breeders get a bad rap these days. And granted, there are breeders who care only about making money as fast as possible, completely disregarding the welfare of their dogs and the genetic flaws that are passed on from one dog to the next in the general rush to sell the next litter of puppies. Many dog breeds, however, have made enormous contributions to society, and Purebred Dog Day is about celebrating these majestic, loyal creatures that have helped humans in so many ways.
The History of Purebred Dog Day
Purebred Dog Day was officially created by a woman named Susi, a writer-editor, in 2014. However, the holiday was actually born out of years of frustration of responsible dog breeders as well as the owners of purebred dogs, who were simply tired of being vilified by the media as greedy and ruthless. Purebred dogs, they said, have helped people in countless different ways, so why should we not celebrate them? If it weren’t for Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes, the entire small city of Nome, Alaska, may well have died from the outbreak of diphtheria that struck it in 1925. The dogs saved the inhabitants of Nome from that fate by making a 1,085-kilometer run to bring them the serum they needed to recover. In the 1900s, a St. Bernard living named Barry living in Switzerland rescued over 40 people from from freezing to death in the surrounding mountains throughout his lifetime. Those stories, however impressive, are just the very tip of the iceberg. Every day, purebred dogs the world over help the blind cross streets, sniff out drugs, and help people recover from serious mental conditions. Purebred Dog Day was created so people could remember just how much purebred dogs have done and continue to do for humanity, as well as remind them that dog breeding is not the vile business that organizations like PETA tend to portray it as.
How to Celebrate Purebred Dog Day
For all of the ways dogs make our lives better, they are fans of simple pleasures like a game of fetch, a good meaty bone to gnaw on, or a long belly rub, so if you have a dog, spend some extra time with it today to show your love and appreciation.
