      Yeah, I'm sure you're right Yan, it must have been endlessly satisfying for abolitionists to hear people from the south wax eloquent about slavery! Even more satisfying must have been when the slaves were hearing a passionate promotion of slavery! Yeah, hearing people talking about their passion is always wonderful. Thanks for the words of wisdom Yan. The world definitely needs more people just like you!
      "Passion" such a cute and fashionable word in this modern age.

Passion is something that you invest yourself in mentally or physically. They didn’t gave a f about them. It was convenient for them, thats why they like this period. You’re just saying sh*t rn ( im black btw)

    I absolutely love architecture and people designing homes for themselves. My only gripe being a tradesman/tiler is the actual choice of materials and how they weather.
    If you look closely the paint is flaking on the roof sides, the exterior has water damage or staining due to water/rain run off. Function is just as important as design.

    There are a lot of small, intentional touches that reflect a lot of thought and care. Things like the modest overhangs that are the perfect depth to frame the view without distracting from it.
