Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

After a rant about James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes, a few friends suggested I start a podcast about why you shouldn't name your kids after certain people. Season 1 would be the presidents. Here are some (often editorialized and varying in importance) bullet points I'd go over for the second 15 presidents. To be clear, this doesn't mean you shouldn't name your kid like Chester or Arthur, but naming them Chester, Arthur, or Chester (A.) Arthur with the INTENT to honor a president is not advisable IMO. Abraham Lincoln Suspended habeas corpus (15,000 people were detained without charges) So, the Emancipation Proclamation ONLY freed enslaved people in the Confederacy and then the 13th amendment still allows for enslavement as punishment for a crime Secession and the Civil War broke out under his watch Supported "assimilation" of Indigenous peoples Approved the largest mass execution in U.S. history President during the Sand Creek Massacre Murdered (like, ye...

To be clear, this doesn't mean you shouldn't name your kid like George or Washington, but naming them George, Washington, or George Washington with the INTENT to honor a president is not advisable IMO. George Washington Enslaved people (yes, he did seem to eventually feel bad about it, but like, that doesn't change the fact that he enslaved people) No joke, at one point he met with the leader of the Iroquois Confederacy and he CLAIMS (I'm always suspicious when white people say stuff like this) that the leader gave him a name that meant "devourer of villages" (which his great grandfather apparently was also given?)--THIS IS A BAD SIGN Enforced ...

Not too too long ago, I purchased  The Ultimate RPG Game Master's Worldbuilding Guide: Prompts and Activities to Create and Customize Your Own Game World  by James D'Amato  and it, and going whale watching, inspired me to create a new D&D world.
