(Trigger warning) Depressed and unable to hide his increasing infirmity, Beethoven wrote on October 6th 1802 a document entitled "The Heiligenstadt Testament":

“O how harshly was I repulsed by the doubly sad experience of my bad hearing... ImageImage
... and yet it was impossible for me to say to men speak louder, shout, for I am deaf. Ah how could I possibly admit such an infirmity in the one sense which should have been more perfect in me than in others, a sense which I once possessed in highest perfection...

We have Stalin too. Maybe I should have followed his lead and photoshopped him out of the photos.
Or maybe buy ME a drink because after reading that email, I really deserve it

I know you’re all crazy and anxious about the election, but I have another really important thing to say/share.

It's really hard for me to open up this much, so I ask you to bear with me.

See next tweet.
That was it
