TIL that the saxophone was invented only in 1846 by Adolphe Sax. As a child, he survived a three-story fall, a gunpowder explosion, drinking a bowl of sulfuric water, a near-poisoning due to furniture varnish, and falling into a speeding river. His neighbors called him “little Sax, the ghost.”

God really did not want the Saxophone invented.

perfect timing for this post showing up but Mr. Sax invented a bunch of other instruments (including ones that had a run but didn’t really stick around) but y’all wanna see one of his failed inventions?

behold, the fucking valved trombone

That’s not an instrument, that a section of plumbing

Happy New Year + Contest Winner

Congrats you guys, you survived 2017, no small feat I assure you! May we all stick together and look out for one another this coming year.

Also congrats to @angelmihe , winner of the giveaway drawing! If you aren’t angelmihe (which regrettably is statistically likely) don’t despair, I’ll be doing another giveaway when I reach my next follower landmark. 

If you’re too impatient for that, you can always either commission me or throw ideas/headcanon at me and hope they stick in my brain long enough to compel me to write them (which given my track record lately is also surprisingly likely, but hardly guaranteed).

Hope you all get some sleep and enjoy the rest of whatever holiday break you may or may not be having. Always remember in this coming year that you are valuable and worth it, and that the world needs YOU.

Cheers and Happy New Years,

– Wit
