I saw that bullshit and it read like Rachel sent them word for word she wanted said. Givenchy added an optical illusion that looks like you’re wearing underwear? Fantastic, how nice of them to know she doesnt like wearing underwear.
Oh I dont doudt royals receive freebies. The point that was highlighted was the agent part. The only other royal I’ve heard of having an agent or seperate PR from the palace was Mary of Denmark.
Ladies and gentlemen, you all have one thing in common: you’re all being blackmailed. For some considerable time, all of you have been paying what you can afford, and in some cases more than you can afford, to someone who threatens to expose you. And none of you know who’s blackmailing you. Do you?
Oh really??? Geez, that’s even worse than I thought, I mean, in terms of her behavior such as mistreating people. I can imagine her doing it, but I think even then if I read some of the specifics I’d probably be more appalled than I can imagine at this moment.
I’m not surprised about the thinness though. When looking at pictures of her, I always try to remember that the camera visually adds 10 pounds to a person in a photograph. She’s pregnant and still looks very slim. I don’t doubt she’s pregnant since, as Houseplant said, her belly would be more consistently shaped for each appearance if she was wearing a prosthetic. I do, however, doubt she’s as far along as she said she was when they announced it.
I only hope at this point that either some British tabloid or newspaper amongst the Commonwealth countries that were visited is willing to publish an article or two describing her truly, truly outrageous behavior.
I haven’t watched all of that speech. I’ve only seen clips. I’m sure that speech was mostly written by staff. Her delivering a pre-set text should be easy for her because it was basically her job. Unfortunately those clips I saw didn’t show the audience.
I’m so glad this tour is over with today because these two suck at their jobs. Royally.
You need someone who wants to be there when it’s messy and when it’s hard, not just when it’s fun and when it’s convenient. And you need someone who chooses you when it might not be the easiest choice. And you need someone who would rather do nothing with you than anything in the world with someone else.
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
Theory makes you desire mastery: you hope that theoretical reading will give you the concepts to organize and understand the phenomena that concern you. But theory makes mastery impossible, not only because there is always more to know, but, more specifically and more painfully, because theory is itself the questioning of presumed results and the assumptions on which they are based. The nature of theory is to undo, through a contesting of premisses and postulates, what you thought you knew, so the effects of theory are not predictable. You have not become master, but neither are you where you were before. You reflect on your reading in new ways. You have different questions to ask and a better sense of the implications of the questions you put to works you read.

There is a reason royals don’t show PDA (along with them being old
school and private about there lives) it draws attention away from the
work. Every headline on this tour is about them touching each other or
lovingly looking into each other’s eyes. What is a dubbo, what is there
plight, what’s happening with there people. I don’t know because of
BANANA BREAD. Your job is not to be cute. It’s to bring attention to
things so people can help/support those issues. Your constant touching
and cuddling under umbrellas is not modernizing the family or bringing
them into the 21st century, it’s DISTRACTING! They need tot stop acting
like teenagers in there first relationship and grow up. Your marriage is
also a job it time you start doing it. Maybe if you would have stopped
for 10 seconds to think about that before you got married you would have
known it’s not the job you wanted. STEP UP, OR STEP OUT!

So what? So we do nothing? No, we are doing something. We are, we just… we can’t save everyone in this war.
If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up, it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.

‘Let the People See’ is a timely book about the fragility of collective memory and about the courage and persistence of journalists — particularly black journalists — some of whom risked their lives in 1955 to get the facts of the Emmett Till story before the public. Most of all though, ‘Let the People See’ is a vivid reminder of just how easy it is for people not to see things they’d rather not see.

The only way to master love is to practice love. You don’t need to justify your love, you don’t need to explain your love; you just need to practice your love. Practice creates the master.
I think that the key thing to understand about Bolsonaro is that he really comes not from this modern ‘alt-right’ movement of the type of Donald Trump or Nigel Farage or Marine Le Pen, but the Cold War far right that carried out enormous atrocities in the name of fighting domestic communism, which is what Bolsonaro believes his primary project to be. He recently vowed to cleanse the country of left-wing opposition, which he sees as a communist front. And so, the threat and the ideology is far more extreme than anything in the democratic world.
“I don’t care that Meghan is not really the self-made woman some people make her out to be. No one is purely self-made. We all had help, like parents or someone else paying the tuition at the top notch school, or a relative getting us an ‘in’ to a certain industry: an internship or even just an interview, a foot in the door. What I dislike is her not acknowledging those who helped her. Some real gratitude and humility would be nice. Instead, everyone in her past is apparently a villain.“ – Submitted by Anonymous
