thinking about how taylor has talked about light or the lack thereof in the past couple of years .. how it began as "something happened for the first time in the darkest little paradise, shaking, pacing, i just need you" -> "you should think about the consequence of you touching my hand in the darkened room" -> "i'd kiss you as the lights went out" -> "starry eyes sparking up my darkest nights" -> "we could follow the sparks" -> "the streetlights pointed in an arrowhead leading us home" -> "meet me in the afterglow" -> "this ultraviolet morning light below tells me this love is worth the fight" -> "i've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night, and now i see daylight". and then it turned into "my eclipsed sun, this has broken me down" -> "across our great divide there is a glorious sunrise" -> "i'm sitting on a bench in coney island wonder 'where did my baby go?' the fast times, the bright lights, the merry-go" -> "it gets colder and colder when the sun goes down" -> "remember looking at this room, we loved it cause of the light. now i just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time" -> "half moonshine, full eclipse". how initially he was a force that pulled her from the darkness and brought her light, the light was a safe place from them to stay. then it became something that he was taking from her, not letting her shine as brightly as she felt they once did. it was something that she could only reminisce on from the dark that she had been re-delivered to. and how the beginning of the resolution of the arc, which i'm sure will be discussed in much further detail in ttpd, can be found in bejeweled: "i miss sparkling" "i'm still bejeweled, when i walk in the room, i can still make the whole place shimmer" "what's a girl gonna do? a diamond's gotta shine"

today cwilbur is sitting behind a gas station counter. it's a slow day. he's doodling a flag in the corner of his crossword puzzle, humming a familiar tune. it's hot outside. it's cool inside. he's wearing short sleeves, and it doesn't hurt, and he's happy.

As we gaze upon the swaths of redwood trees. The great hills to our south and the walls that have protected for years. I, as the now President L'Manburg hereby state:
SUCK IT GREEN BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Since we know that the Snoopy rainbow mug is indeed from James Lance's own personal collection, I'm gonna go ahead and assume that Lance just keeps dragging in his own clothing and jewelry for the costume designer to approve and she's like "yeah let's roll with it" every time.

On Tuesday, the Republican Party's official Twitter account posted to mark the Fourth of July, writing, "247 years ago, our forefathers told Ol' King George to get lost! Happy Independence Day from the GOP!"
There was just one problem: the flags they used in the graphic were not the American flag. They were the Liberian flag.
Liberia is a West African nation that was established as a colony for free and formerly enslaved Black Americans, in an era when the citizenship of even free Black Americans was questioned. It was a time that many who opposed slavery weren't sure if they could ever have full equal rights and participation in American society.

Day 6:
Hyvää Itsenäisyyspäivää💙🕯️���️
Happy Independence day💙🕯️🕯️
On independence day I want to light my candles to freedom, to those who fought for our freedom, for those who have gone, and those who are still here. I light my candles for our own language and our culture. For the world to see we are free.
