The Invisible Queer

 Heyo! I hope you are doing well! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in America, so I imagine people are either scrambling to cook or missing their family dearly. As I mentioned in a previous post, I got my wisdom teeth removed last week. I did not think that it was going to hinder my ability to write a post, but it has. The recovery process has been very painful, which makes it hard to concentrate on research. So as you guessed, there will be no "That Time..." post this week. I am hoping to resume next week. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. If you are not celebrating turkey day, just have a wonderful rest of your week.  My family is having the same small dinner we've been having for the past few years with just the six of us. Please stay safe!

This week we are discussing how the son of a president may have streaked across the campus of one of the most prestigious universities in the United States. To be completely transparent, there wasn't a lot of reliable sources for this story. I don't remember when I first heard it, but it has intrigued me since then. Most of the sources I found were blogs or online articles. No primary sources. This will be a short post, but as it's a story that has intrigued me for years, I want to tell it To clarify, this is about Charles Adams, son of President John Adams and younger brother of President John Quincy Adams. If you came looking for Charles Addams, creator of The Addams Family, this is the wrong place. Sorry. Charles Adams was born in 1770 to John and Abigail Adams, who would later become President and First Lady in 1797. He began attending Harvard University in 1785, at the age of fifteen. Several sources have all stated pretty much the same story. Charles had been involved

 Heyo! I hope you are doing well and enjoyed last week's That Time... post ! I have this week's ready to go up tomorrow. I wanted to write a simple post to check-in and share my plans for the future of this blog! This week, I am getting my teeth ripped from my skull. I was cursed with four wisdom teeth. I had the two on my right side removed in 2015. I am getting the two on my left removed the day after this post goes up. It only takes like 2 or 3 days to recover so I don't think it'll interfere with next week's That Time... post, but incase it does, this is your warning. As you may or may not know, I am a history nerd. When I was in college, I was majoring in history. I have been having a good time looking for interesting stories for the That Time... series. In the near future I would like to start doing a series of biographical posts about people I find interesting. I do want to also get back to my regular "Casual Screaming" and "Fangirl Friday"

This has been an active week for my blog. Honestly, wasn't planning on writing anything about Unus Annus until I was watching the final live stream. I realized I cannot thank those involved, nor share my love for that experience in a single tweet, and I didn't want to do a Twitter thread. So what better way than blogging? An Unus Annus piece I made Firstly, I want to thank Amy, Mark, Ethan, and everyone else involved in the entire Unus Annus operation. This year has been insane in the worst ways. Between the pandemic and impending doom of a civil war in the distance, it's been scary. Unus Annus made the year so much better. I am writing this post at 3am. I apologize for any and all errors; I want to get it done in time to be posted later today. If this is not posted on Nov. 14, 2020, this paragraph means nothing. I am sleep deprived and emotional, so prepare for a ride! If you are unaware of Unus Annus, then you are in the wrong place. It's long gone. Should have been t

It took me a bit to gather my thoughts. Over the weekend, we lost Alex Trebek. This loss hit so hard. Yes, we had a bit of a warning. We knew he was sick, but that doesn't lessen the heartbreak. This is going to be a short one, but I felt like writing something for him. As you may or may not know, Mr. Trebek was the host of Jeopardy, making him a part of millions of lives just by hosting that show. My older brother and I are huge nerds who love learning. We frequently watched the show. I wouldn't say every night, but most nights. We loved yelling out the answers we knew or guessed. We never had cable so we only had like three channels which were ABC, PBS, and the public channel that shows court hearings. Jeopardy is right after Wheel of Fortune. Whenever my older brother and I got the chance we watched and even recently we sat down to binge a few episodes on Netflix. The show was a huge part of our childhood. A good part of our childhood. Honestly, the show is probably part of

 This week on "That Time..." we will go over a celebrity death hoax conspiracy that is still talked about 50 years after it originally made headlines. If you are new to my blog, heyo! My name is McCartha - a nickname that I got from my obsession with the subject of today's post. I am so excited to write about it as, the "Paul is Dead" conspiracy theory is what made me fall in love with Paul McCartney eight years ago.  It's weird. Disclaimer: This is all for fun. None of what I say in this post should be taken seriously. I do not believe the theory. I just find it funny and love discussing it. By no means do I mean harm to anyone by posting this. Paul McCartney performing at the Cavern Club. Sir James Paul McCartney, more commonly known as Paul McCartney, was born June 18, 1942, in Liverpool, England. The eldest son of Jim and Mary McCartney. He rose to fame in the early 1960s as a member of The Beatles along with four other Liverpudlians, John Lennon, George

 Heyo! In 2018, I originally launched my Patreon for this blog and my edits, but then some things happened like losing Wi-Fi for 2 years and some personal stuff. SO! I just updated my Patreon and made it just for this blog - for now. You can find it here . I am hoping to be able to blog for a living. My childhood dream was to be a writer that people take seriously and who could make a living doing so. I understand that now, is probably not the best time to launch my Patreon, and I understand that many cannot support me. I will never make anyone pay for my blog. I grew up as a kid who could only afford free stuff. I didn't even have cable in my childhood, which is probably why I am so attached to YouTube. Any support can be as simple as a comment, or just sharing the link to a post you enjoyed. Thanks for all the support thus far. Have a wonderful weekend!

 Heyo! I hope you are doing well. I haven't been posting as much as I'd like to and I would like to change that. SO! I have decided to start a new weekly series on my blog. I will keep posting the random "Screaming About", "Kinda Review", "Fangirl Friday", etc. That's not going to change. So what is this series? I asked what people would like to see more of on my blog and someone suggested weird history facts and stories. As a former history major - who dropped out twice from two different schools - I figured, why not? Every Wednesday starting next week (Nov. 11) I will have a new post about a weird, funny, or lesser-known story from history. It won't all be stories from long ago. I have some in mind regarding behind the scenes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Some will not be factual events/stories. I will be writing about some widely believed conspiracy theories. such as "Paul is dead". All fun and harmless theories. I will not
