‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.’ - Marianne Williamson
You must burn. Burn higher.Burn for everything you have ever wanted. For everything you have ever lost, for every crack in your heart and every fraction of every irreplaceable moment.Burn high for love.For fear. For life.Burn as fast and as long as you can.You must burn, burn higher.Because nothing in this world will kill you faster than a dying fire.- Mia Hollow
first look at Joe as Bob Cratchit in A Christmas Carol
Vinette Robinson as Mary Cratchit (centre) in the upcoming, three-part adaptation by Stephen Knight (Peaky Blinders,Taboo). Several big names are attached to this one, including Tom Hardy and Guy Pearce.
Robinson comments, “In the books you don’t learn much about [Mary Cratchit] other than she is the wife of Bob and the mother of Tim, but, in this version of the story, Steven has imagined her side of events and how she deals with the strained circumstances that the family is under. First and foremost, she’s a good mum, she’s so resilient, she’s sensitive and she’s tough and she’ll do anything for her family. She has to keep her family safe and has to make some very tough decisions on that front. […] What’s great is that Steven has written two female characters who have agency, Lottie [Charlotte Riley as the Ghost of Christmas Present] and Mary, and done so in a really clever way. They are not passive and very much drive their own stories.”
Finnish government now lead by these heads of parties. Sanna Marin being The new Prime minister
Coalition governments are the norm in Finland but it is noteworthy that, aside from the leaders of the parties that form the new cabinet (December 2019) all being women, four out of the five are millennials. Seasoned insight in all honour, but prudence, common sense, unbiassed judgment, integrity, courage, and compassionate values are not, as we see confirmed all over the world every day, tied to age.
However, while age and gender may be the most visible aspects, these parliamentarians also bring a range of social and cultural backgrounds to the table. For example, the fifth party leader, the Minister of Justice, represents a historical linguistic minority spread over an eclectic voter base (the party has nothing whatsoever to do with Sweden). The leader of the Left Alliance, now the Minister of Education, who received the second-highest number of votes of any candidate in this year’s parliamentary elections and who cites Greta Thunberg as her political role model, comes from that same linguistic minority. And the Prime Minister was raised in a rainbow family, the country’s term for family units consisting of lgbtq parents and their children.
Moreover, they are part of a cabinet in which the majority of ministers are women: twelve out of nineteen.
It’s going to be interesting to watch this strong influx of talented young decisionmakers come together to test institutional routines and bring fresh energy and points of view to government.
it will economically devastate women, forcing them to seek out and remain in relationships with (potentially abusive) men in order to avoid poverty. forced birth advocates often see this as protecting marriage and the family— the economic impact of forced birth on women is not just a consequence they don’t care about or haven’t foreseen, it’s THE POINT to keep us in our place.
poverty is used to keep a class of women sexually available to men through either marriage (conservatives) or prostitution (liberals)
The economic impact of forced birth on women is not just a consequence they don’t care about or haven’t foreseen, it’s THE POINT to keep us in our place.
If women can’t prevent pregnancy - and make no mistake about it, they are coming for hormonal contraceptives next - and can’t end a pregnancy, and can’t afford childcare for multiple children, then she can’t afford to stay in school or work full-time. And gosh, well, that just opens up a bunch of positions in higher education and the workforce for men, doesn’t it? If you think this is about anything other than forcing women out of the workforce and into marriage and families, you aren’t paying attention.
A most natural composition featuring our lady looking momentarily off camera as her hands rest by her full thighs. In this briefest of moments you are afforded an opportunity to survey her softly-untoned beauty and reflect that a woman is so much more than the sum of her mind and her body. Womanhood occupies that ethereal place where high concepts are allowed freedom to develop. We know so many of you share with us a desire to understand that which today we only know in part.
The fact that “dolls having a tea party” has stuck around in the public consciousness is fascinating to me.
Back in the Old Days, women did socialize at tea parties. So if a girl had a doll tea party, she was imitating her mom / other contemporary women.
But in Modern Times, women don’t have tea parties. So now, “dolls having a tea party” is an echo of an extinct behavior, repeated through the years until it’s no longer associated with anything ‘real’–only with play.
A Barbie themed for a tea party is a bit like if they made Transformers that turned into stagecoaches and horse-drawn buggies.
So you’re saying the modern equivalent would be dolls having an multi level marketing sales party?
damn, spitting truths
I strongly desire both
MLM sales party Barbie, and
horse-drawn stagecoach transformers (honestly I would watch that as an entire cartoon series)
Is consistency not key? Are standards not crucial? Is quality not reliable? From the beginning, Rouje Paris has been finding it extremely difficult to disappoint. All reviews and reflections on their previous collections have proven this brand to be top tier, filled with loads of inspiration and a high level of delivery from the quality of the clothing to the ideas behind each collection. The Rouje catalog is time after time endowed with praiseworthy collections that leave Les Filles En Rouje enchanted by the realisation of beauty of everyday life and the glory of womanhood. Expressed in its cosmos and in the pieces themselves, there is a feeling, a certain quality that is just VERY ROUJE. One cannot quite logically explain the honor and feeling of being very Rouje or simply the atmosphere of a life in Rouje. Rouje has become very distinguished and set itself on a high plane of self-expression, synonymous with self-love. It is impossible to misidentify. Perhaps what is more remarkable is how women I see in Rouje seem to carry the same pure energy/ spirit that just sets them apart. Typically, out and about in Paris at cafés, on bicycles, in galleries, you cannot miss Les Filles En Rouje being very Rouje. It’s what I can only describe as a phenomenon I greatly appreciate and feel lucky each time to know of. So go on right ahead, grab your Gabin and live to your fullest this summer. Je vous en prie!
How many times will you be born in me? From fetus to corpse From corpse to fetus
How many times will l feel you kicking in my womb wanting to get out of me? How many times will l look at your face and recognize you in new being? How many times will I carry you in my arms and rock you as if you were my child? Not the other way round Not the other way round
Me who was born from you Out if you Because of you
Me who doesn’t know how to be without you whose origin is in the seed you’ve sown In your womb In your womb
“ with love, sir, i wish to serve myself some bread before I serve you a course, for I’ve starved my own hunger, and now I crave anything alive.”
“ apologies, for I have been, scared, but aggressively, aggressively scared sir ”
“ I’ve washed dirt, and scrubed your basins white, sir, but I must say, your wine stained shirt remains. It commands me to honor it’s poetic wrath with reality ”
And how she thanked the world, for it’s awaited doom, in casual conversations about flowers,
she’d smile at autumn, for death wasn’t new to her, but the after…
