Ooohhhh.... 🥰.... yes please.

My excitement for the season 7 announcement is solely wrapped up in the fact that we may see William Clarence Henry George Ransom, ninth Earl of Ellesmere, in all his chaotic glory.

Amanda Gorman, the Youngest Inaugural Poet, Recites Her Work at President Joe Biden’s Inauguration

Amanda Gorman was the Inaugural National Youth Poet Laureate

Transcript Below:

When day comes we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry, a sea we must wade We’ve braved the belly of the beast We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace And the norms and notions of what just is Isn’t always just-ice And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it Somehow we do it Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished We the successors of a country and a time Where a skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to find herself reciting for one And yes we are far from polished far from pristine but that doesn’t mean that we are striving to form a union that is perfect We are striving to forge a union with purpose To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man. And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us but what stands before us We close the divide because we know, to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another. We seek harm to none and harmony for all Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true: That even as we grieved, we grew That even as we hurt, we hoped That even as we tired, we tried That we’ll forever be tied together, victorious Not because we will never again know defeat but because we will never again sow division Scripture tells us to envision that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree And no one shall make them afraid If we’re to live up to our own time Then victory won’t lie in the blade But in all the bridges we’ve made That is the promise to glade The hill we climb If only we dare It’s because being American is more than a pride we inherit it’s the past we step into and how we repair it We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy And this effort very nearly succeeded But while democracy can be periodically delayed it can never be permanently defeated In this truth in this faith we trust For while we have our eyes on the future history has its eyes on us This is the era of just redemption We feared at its inception We did not feel prepared to be the heirs of such a terrifying hour but within it we found the power to author a new chapter To offer hope and laughter to ourselves So while we once we asked, how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe? Now we assert How could catastrophe possibly prevail over us? We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be A country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation Our blunders become their burdens But one thing is certain: If we merge mercy with might, and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children’s birthright So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left with Every breath from my bronze-pounded chest, we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the west, we will rise from the windswept northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the midwestern states, we will rise from the sunbaked south We will rebuild, reconcile and recover and every known nook of our nation and every corner called our country, our people diverse and beautiful will emerge, battered and beautiful When day comes we step out of the shade, aflame and unafraid The new dawn blooms as we free it For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it If only we’re brave enough to be it

A loving couple 🥰

My whole soul was in it today. On this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation. And I ask every American to join me in this cause.

Uniting to fight the foes we face: anger, resentment, hatred, extremism, lawlessness, violence, disease, joblessness and hopelessness. With unity, we can do great things, important things. We can right wrongs. We can put people to work in good jobs. We can teach our children in safe schools. We can overcome the deadly virus. We can reward, reward work and rebuild the middle class and make health care secure for all. We can deliver racial justice and we can make America once again the leading force for good in the world.

Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger: “President Trump is a Failed Leader”

This was a wonderful speech by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who grew up in Austria after WWII.  I highly recommend taking the time to listen to it.

Below is a transcript of the video.

“As an immigrant to this country, I would like to say a few words to my fellow Americans. and to our friends around the world, about the events of recent days.

“I grew up in Austria. I’m very aware of Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass. It was a night of rampage against the Jews carried out in 1938 by the Nazi equivalent of the Proud Boys. 

“Wednesday was the day of broken glass right here in the United States. The broken glass was in the windows of the United States Capitol.

“But the mob did not just shatter the windows of the Capitol; they shattered the ideals we took for granted. They did not just break down the doors of the building that housed American democracy; they trampled the very principles upon which our country was founded.

“I grew up in the ruins of a country that suffered the loss of its democracy. I was born in 1947, two years after the Second World War. 

“Growing up, I was surrounded by broken men drinking away the guilt over their participation in the most evil regime in history. Not all of them were rabid anti-Semites or Nazis. Many just went along step-by-step down the road. They were the people next-door.

Still and will always be the dearest and sweetest episode of Dr Who. For a not-exactly-a-Whovian such as me, this one episode still brings goosebumps and a tear or two. Every time.

The sweetest tears...

1 death for every 1,000 people...... Saddest I’ve ever felt in a long time 😢

We’re #1 !

Trump knew it was coming. He knew it was bad. He lied because he feared for his re-election prospects. 

Sounds like negligent homicide to me, but then, I’m no lawyer.

My favourite Jane Bennet. Hands down.

You know perfectly well that I do not believe that marriage should be driven by thoughts of money.

I noticed that dismount, too,@momofmusa. Coolest dismount ever, thank you Jamie Fraser.

I sort of not dislike Bridgerton, but definitely not loving it.
