Female inmates of San Quentin State Prison and their very fine hats. 1/?.

TODAY IT’S A GREAT DAY BECAUSE IT’S MARCH 15th THE DAY WHEN DENZEL CROCKER LOST HIS HAPPINESS AND IT’S ALSO ANNOY SQUIDWARD DAY

When I say that Trump has no original play in his playbook this is what I fucking mean. This where America is back sliding into Nazi Germany.

With that said to the people who voted 3rd party fuck you, fuck maga, fuck republicans and fuck you to the people who didn’t vote.

Everyone who knows a tiny bit of history saw this coming.

Bertha Boronda (from the first San Quentin photo set I posted) was sentenced to five years in prison for “Mayhem” in 1908.

What’s “Mayhem” you ask? Apparently in Bertha’s case, it’s cutting off your cheating husband’s penis with a straight razor, disguising yourself as a man and fleeing by bicycle.

Can we go back to mistaking Frankenstein's monster for Frankenstein please. Imagine how pissed Victor Frankenstein would be over his creation having his family name. How fucking funny is it to imagine him just losing his mind at the very thought of his son creation just being casually called Frankenstein like it is so hilarious to me. Please it's what he deserves.

do we think chocolate guy is gay?

So I’m reading The Making of Frankenstein by Daisy Hay (cause I’m a hoe for absolutely anything concerning my Geneva squad babies) and she’s talking about the manuscripts of Frankenstein allowing us to see how the book progressed as Mary wrote and Percy edited. AND THERE’S PICTURES. There’s one part where Percy added comments in pencil and Mary went over them in pen to make sure she’d remember to add them in and another part where she scribbled out his suggestions altogether. One part shows that Percy must have slammed the book shut because the ink from his pen left corresponding splashes and splotches on the opposite page and you can see where Mary switched from chunky pens to thin-nibbed ones. Percy used black ink and Mary used brown ink. I felt like I’d been transported to a candlelit room with Mary sitting at her desk hurriedly writing away as Percy looked on and honestly BOOKS ARE MAGIC!❤️❤️
