I’m with you anon. I’m not surprised she doesn’t want to attend IG events. She can’t make it about her as much. 

But god, in that picture above she’s beginning to look like Jess Mulroney!

Apparently going to the a luncheon would be exhausting, eating and meeting ppl. If anything she shouldn’t be going to Fiji & Tonga…but whatever. I work in with the public, I’ve had coworkers pregnant and working w/ the public, and I mean “WORK”. If all we did was dress up, shake hands and wave, all of us would love that job. I’m not buying it, she could wear one bloody outfit a day, like a normal “relatable” person, this is ridiculous. 🙄

anonymoushouseplantfan:

She’s still going to Fiji and Tonga.

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!


EXACTLY.

What are your views on cutting back announcement? I’m having mixed feelings.. It’s for the baby so obviously we all (haters like myself included) want the best for it. But then again, it’s Meghan, she can do the unexpected for attention.. I’m feeling conflicted, like I want to bitch about her, but can’t coz of the baby (for whom I want the best, irrespective of harkles).

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Oh, no one can bitch because the deed is done. She already showed up to the tour preggo and now they have to accommodate her. They can’t make her work and they can’t make her go to the islands. There’s a human life at stake.

It’s genius. Millions in taxpayer money and she tells everyone she’s knocked up THE DAY BEFORE SHE LEAVES FOR THE TOUR. Then she doesn’t even tell her father she’s knocked up, leaving him free to tell his sob story to the DM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOUR.

i’d be angry on behalf of Australia, the FO, and the BRF, but fuck ‘em. They knew what these two clowns were like and they still gave them a huge wedding they could mess up, and a foreign tour they could flush down the toilet. At this point, the enablers are more to blame that the Sussexes.

you had to know this would happen. she has to keep the focus on her and with IG going and a lot of outdoorsy stuff coming up she needed her “look at me” ploy. So when Harry does the Queen’s Canopy all the discussion will be on MeAgain’s absence. They needed a good tour to prove to the family and gov they could be useful. And they are blowing it with the pr stunts.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

It’s just too much drama all around. I did not think Harry would be able to top his mom’s India tour telenovela, but this may do it.

The whole thing with Thomas is sad/annoying but I thought he said he worked late at night, so he would pick her up take her home (her sister having to baby sit) so this whole “taking her to the set” is new, and he was a lighting director at a mid level of having access to “limos” 🙄 I could believe it if he was a producer buuuuuut he wasn’t. Plus, having a kid on set is a no no like any other job. I believe she lived w/ him but not that he could make these calls.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a23925/meghan-markle-interview/

Meghan confirmed it herself–every day after school for 10 years. “Transpo” would be the limos.

Now she is cuttig back? What a fame ho. All planned for headlines im sure. Wow

Just say this is now a full blown paid for vacation for the woman who couldnt wait until after a tour to get pregnant. So she’s going, but not working. What better excuse to say you need your bff and mom on this vacation stat. Just pull out all the damn way and fly back to London and sit your damn ass down. The pheasant knows who holds his balls.

ambassador for peace who champions love and compassion.

Wonder Woman reminds us that there are no restrictions on what we’re
capable of—no limits to what we can accomplish, no quotas when it comes
to helping others, no compromise on justice and the equality of all. Diana embodies what it means to be a hero in these modern

holds the unwavering belief that people can be better than they often
are and uses truth as her most vital weapon.

BABY SUSSEX TAROT READING – OCTOBER 15/19, 2018

Wanted to do another reading to check up on this since I predicted Meghan would be pregnant from as earliest as July, seen here in my receipts post I did on it and haven’t really looked that deep into the pregnancy really since July. Hope you enjoy the reading. Thanks for all the love and support I’ve been receiving today. It really warms my heart. See ya. – TT

“Show me the outcome of Meghan Markle’s pregnancy right now.”

  • (Empress; Fool Rx; Four of Swords Rx; Five of Swords Rx; Death (Meghan’s birth card); Seven of Pentacles; Ace of Pentacles Rx; Knight of Cups Rx; Moon; Eight of Wands (clarifiers: Page of Swords Rx/Sun/Four of Pentacles Rx/Hermit Rx)
  • World, Three of Cups – top of the deck
  • Nine of Cups, Three of Swords – bottom of the deck

Okay. 

Regarding the pregnancy (Empress), they are making foolish decisions right now regarding it (Fool Rx). I don’t think it’s on purpose though (Fool Rx), they want the pregnancy to go smoothly (Moon/World/Three of Cups/Seven of Pentacles). Their just not being as cautious as I think they should be right now. 

They are getting assistance from a doctor (Seven of Pentacles) and she is indeed pregnant (I know there was some talk it was a surrogate). This is a major change for her (Death), could also signify you know what. 

I think problems will occur with this pregnancy if she overworks herself (Seven of Pentacles/Four of Swords Rx – needing to rest but choosing not too). Period. 

I feel like right now their gambling everything (Five of Swords Rx). It’s not like their even looking over the shoulder being extra – extra careful since this pregnancy already has a bigger risk because of her age. 

I feel like she is or will be very paranoid about this pregnancy (Five of Swords Rx/Knight of Cups Rx) for some reason. 

She’s having a lot of mood swings and like I said before getting very greedy and sort of being a douche because of the hormones (Knight of Cups Rx/Ace of Pentacles Rx). With Three of Swords at the bottom of the deck, idk, there’s some sort of disappointment here. Also still see her cancelling some events still (Knight of Cups Rx). I feel like a once appealing and on the right track, happy pregnancy (Seven of Pentacles) takes an quick turn for the worst (Knight of Cups Rx) in the future if they aren’t careful. I feel like if there is a issue whether that be miscarriage/complications/etc. it has some connection to the tour and/or her working so much. If she takes some rest and time off and spaces out her duties like she should be (Four of Swords Rx), then the pregnancy will be successful (World).

They are still very happy about it though (Moon/Knight of Cups Rx). 

If something goes down, regarding news, watch out for sometime in Winter (Ace of Pentacles Rx), maybe even next month at the earliest since Ace is a one card.

As of right nowit will go full-term. Only if she takes the proper care (Seven of Pentacles) and doesn’t continue to make careless/foolish decisions (Fool Rx). 

I keep getting the same message over and over again. She needs to slow down on these engagements for her health. If she overworks herself on this tour and other engagements, in particular maybe traveling too much or just too much activity in general it will backfire on her.

“Boy or girl/When?”

  • (Moon, Cover, House, Clouds, Mice)
  • (Woman, Bouquet, Dog, Scythe, Tree)
  • Ten of Cups, Five of Wands, Hierophant, Empress, Judgment, Five of Swords, Page of Wands – Bottom of the Deck

I’d say boy. Chance there is more than one (Clouds/Mice) but I see one boy

I think it will be a boy (Wands/Swords) and it will be born in May since all these fives are showing up (Hierophant/Five of Wands/Five of Swords/Tree).

I’m getting like first or second week of May or even end of April. Somewhere between 5th-18th. I’ll check again farther into the pregnancy. 

“How does Harry feel about the baby?”

  • (Ten of Wands Rx; Nine of Swords; Two of Pentacles Rx (Sun, Two of Cups Rx, Five of Swords); Page of Cups Rx; World Rx; Nine of Wands Rx; Seven of Pentacles Rx (Ten of Pentacles Rx, Two of Wands Rx, Six of Wands); Knight of Pentacles Rx; Page of Wands Rx; Page of Swords)
  • Devil, Lovers, Knight of Swords – Top of the Deck
  • Knight of Wands Rx, Four of Swords Rx, Queen of Pentacles Rx,, King of Cups Rx – Bottom of the Deck

Harry is happy (Lovers) but at the same time scared out of his mind (Nine of Swords). 

Not like he wants to bolt type of way, he definitely wants to be here and wants this pregnancy to go through (Devil/Lovers/Knight of Swords). 

Harry’s anxiety is through the roof though (Nine of Wands Rx/Nine of Swords). 

He feels like his world is flipped upside down (World Rx), meaning he feels like his whole life is changing so quickly (Page of Swords/Knight of Swords) and he doesn’t know how to handle it (Two of Pentacles Rx). 

He’s in the stage like, “Oh my gosh, am I ready to be a father?” (King of Cups Rx). 

It’s easy for him to shake kids hands at Invictus and play that role in public but in private he’s much more awkward and uncomfortable than he puts on (Knight of Pentacles Rx/Nine of Wands Rx). 

He’s worried he’s not going to be able to maintain and balance his relationship with Meghan (Two of Cups Rx/Sun) and feels like the child will bring sort of an imbalance to their relationship. More than the imbalance already present in their relationship if you ask me. 

He has anxiety about having to take over all the engagements and take on that workload and his family felt this wasn’t planned as thoroughly as it should have been (Two of Wands Rx/Ten of Pentacles Rx/ Six of Wands) They wanted him to wait to announce.

This pregnancy sort of through Harry off his normal schedule (Knight of Pentacles Rx). Guys, Harry’s an earth sign, despite how impulsive he is, when major things like this happen, he will always even if it’s deep down want it to go slow. That’s just how us earth signs work folks. 

Even though he’s worried and stress, he’s still excited for this child (Page of Swords). I think it’s a matter of talking all this about wanting kids and then finally having to deal with it and not knowing how to handle it that’s getting to Harry. 

Also, I don’t think William and Kate are that estatic either. They both (KOC + QOP) came up at the bottom reveresed.

“How does Meghan feel about the pregnancy?”

  • (Crossroads, Fish, Fox, Anchor, Key, Man, Woman, Star, Rider)
  • Mice/Snake – Top of the Deck
  • Bouquet/Ring – Bottom of the Deck

Meghan is very happy (Star/Fish). She’s ready for this baby to be born (Rider) and feels like she had everything she would want in the world right now (Key/Star/Fish). She sees this as her dreams moving forward (Star/Rider). She’s very emotionally attached to Harry and vice-versa right now (Woman/Man/Lovers/Devil) because of this pregnancy. 

It wasn’t easy getting pregnant (Crossroads/Anchor). Her heart was set on getting pregnant though (Anchor/Woman). She was very determined to get knocked up it seems, looks like a long term goal of hers in this marriage. 

She’s trying to stay mainly positive about the pregnancy right now (Anchor/Key). Feels like she secured the bag, for real (Ring/Bouquet). Still seeing difficulties with this pregnancy though (Mice/Snake). She really needs to be careful with her health, like seriously or this will all crash and burn. 

She wants to rely on Harry now and is much more dependent on him than before (Key/Man). I think that relates generally and financially because she is worried about finances, still (Fish/Key). I do see Harry taking a break and going somewhere alone to settle his thoughts though and process this in the future (Fox/Man/Rider). 

This was an unexpected pregnancy as I’ve seen in previous readings (Wheel/Crossroads/Fish). This was made on a gut level. This wasn’t planned to like “you’ll get pregnant then and then we’ll announce”, it was like “Hey, I want and not much thought was put into this as with other royal pregnancies I believe. 

Ultimately though I do think Meghan will get her wish of having this child (Star/Rider). 

“How does HM feel about it?”

  • (Key, Lily, Heart, Clover, Fish, Birds, House, Dog, Bouquet, Sun, Man, Child, Moon, Tree, Rider)

Overall positive (Clover/Fish). 

She’s wanted Harry to have a child of his own (Man/Child/Moon) and thinks it will be good for him (Sun). She hopes it brings stability and loyalty to his life (House/Dog) and hopes this settles him down for good (Dog/Tree). She’s aware this is what Harry has wanted for a long time (Child/Moon). 

What does she think about Meghan?

  • (Rider, Child, Scythe, Mountain, Cross, Stork, Ship, Lily, Dog)

She tolerates her (Cross). Now that the baby is in the picture (Child), she feels like it’s her duty to be kind and move forward (Lily/Stork). She’s kind of cold to her (Lily), like accepts it for what it is because of the child and her grandson but not ecstatic by no means.

She’s hoping this baby will make her more loyal to the firm and this marriage as well (Stork/Dog).

They’ve had lots of issues in the past (Mountains) regarding her commitment and transitioning into becoming a royal instead of a celebrity (Mountain/Cross/Stork). Hoping this trip and this announcement will change that (Ship/Lily/Dog/Stork).

Feels like pregnancy is too fast and they should have waited as well (Child/Scythe).

“How did majority of the BRF find out?”

  • (Three of Pentacles Rx, Five of Pentacles Rx, Lovers/Judgement, Ten of Wands Rx, Nine of Wands/Eight of Pentacles Rx/KOP, QOS, Five of Swords, Nine of Swords/KOS/Five of Cups, Three of Swords Rx, Ace of Pentacles)
  • QOW, Empress, Star Rx, Justice – Top of the Deck

I think they truly did announce it Eugenie’s wedding (Lovers/Judgement).

They felt that they needed to get something off there chest (Ten of Wands Rx). Meghan was the ringleader of it all though (QOW/QOS).

I don’t think she collaborated with any other members of the BRF or gave them aheads up or anything (Three of Pentacles Rx) and kind of just made the decision on her own (QOS).

Because of the way she did it, she was perceived badly (Eight of Pentacles Rx) and seen as too overbearing/dominate (Nine of Wands Rx/KOP).

It made the environment between them hostile and brought major tension (Five of Swords). They got perceived as smug and gloating about it because of the way they did it to the BRF.

Because of this annoucement (KOS),it made H&M isolated (Nine of Swords/Five of Cups) but they wanted to do it anyway (Ace of Pentacles).

I think the only person who had a clue was the Queen (Empress) and that’s it.

“Finally, how does Charles feel?”

  • (Dog, Stork, Snake Rx, Rider, Tree)

He still doesn’t really care for her (Snake Rx). He’s basically just trying to move past since it’s his grandchild, but otherwise is out.

Thanks for the support guys. Sorry this post is so up late. I apologize. See you tommorow. -TT

Everyone just needs to calm down and check Emily Andrews’ Twitter. To quote: “Wording of the memorial plaque Harry unveiled today says: ‘opened by the grandson of the Queen’ to echo the original opening plaque (in 1934 by Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester) that said ‘opened by the son of the king'”. She went on to say that it “was to focus on the people lost, not the one who opened it” so it’s not a slate on our Harry at all 😊

princeharryconfessions:

yes oh my goodness this has been a lesson in like, life

i have LEARNED things tonight

Nice to know but I’m a hardcore BEC so I’ll be nice and accept both theories. Plus there’s a nice cool breeze under this shade.

Do you genuinely believe that she is only with him for the title? Or do you think she does love him and just based on her past behavior, she will eventually be bored, tired of the restrictions, whatever the excuse and will leave? I am actually curious, bc I am just not sure myself.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I think she’s with him for the press and the self-actualization aspects of this. She finally gets to be famous and admired, like she has always wanted.

When she’s getting that self-actualization (Nottingham, the wedding, now), she’s happy with him and looks “in love.” When she’s not getting it (her family messing things up and whatever happened when her mom visited her) she’s angry and is no longer “in love.” He’s a conduit to her self-actualization.

“2) if she is inspiring biracial girls, that’s WONDERFUL” To do what??? 1) Marry a prince and spend £2 million of someone else’s money on clothes in one year. 2) Hire a PR company to create a fauxmanitarian image and get you a UN gig as a feminist. 3) Dump everyone from your past who no longer serves a purpose. 4) Take credit for other people’s hard work. She is inspiring only in her ability to be a successful fraud.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Yep, that’s part of the problem, as illustrated by the Stemettes engagement. She’s inspiring bi-racial girls to audition for Deal or No Deal.

In Praise of Oscar the Grouch

jkottke:

Oscar.png

Sesame Street puppeteer Caroll Spinney is retiring after almost 50 years, and everybody is leading with the fact that he played and voiced everybody’s favorite, Big Bird. And then, if they get a chance, they might get around to mentioning that other iconic character he gave a voice and a soul, one of my favorites, Oscar the Grouch.

Karen Zraick writes about Oscar and his origins in the New York Times:

In his book “The Wisdom of Big Bird (and the Dark Genius of Oscar the Grouch),” Mr. Spinney wrote that he based Oscar’s voice on a surly cabdriver from the Bronx who took him to a meeting.

“He was the stereotypical cabby of the time – a guy in his 40s from the Bronx wearing a tweed cap with a little brim – and he kind of growled out of the corner of his mouth, ‘Where to, Mac?’” Mr. Spinney wrote.

He had found “the ideal model” for his new character, and he marveled as the driver “went on and on, colorfully expressing his opinion of Mayor Lindsay with a lot of four-letter words.”

Travis Andrews does the same in the Washington Post:

The purpose of Oscar, according to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History’s description of the character, is to teach “the importance of understanding, tolerance, and diversity.” According to Robert W. Morrow’s book “’Sesame Street’ and the Reform of Children’s Television,” Oscar acted differently and lived in a different kind of home as a metaphor, “to dramatize tolerance for those who are different. … In segments about conflicts between Oscar and the others on the street, the show taught how children might cope with diversity in the context of school desegregation.”

Ok, sure. Ariane Beeston at Essential Kids more thoroughly spells out Oscar’s character, and its effect and appeal:

1. It’s okay to be different;
2. One man’s trash is another grouch’s treasure;
3. Embrace who you are and be yourself;
4. Just because you’re grouchy, doesn’t mean you can’t also be kind;
5. Emotions can be confusing.

Almost everyone gives credit to Spinney for giving Oscar his emotional complexity, with a simple mandate: Oscar is always grouchy and contrarian, but Oscar is never mean or cruel. In short, Oscar always has a heart. Let’s hope Spinney’s successor can continue to thread that needle. The kids of the present and the future deserve an Oscar who can be everything that he is.

P1: The suggestion that MM did IVF to get pregnant is slightly irritating. Especially as someone who struggled to get pregnant. Not to mention it has me invisioning PH sperm being carted around by a secret service agent while fertilization, etc is being done in a lab (I mean, would the royal family even allow that?).

anonymoushouseplantfan:

P2: My main issue is most people have to try to conceive for 6m to a year before extra steps are taken. Usually clomid comes next. Then there’s the fact that if for whatever reason MM already knew her chances were decreased, she’d have to go through egg retrieval and if she really does have fertility issues she’d more than likely have to go through multiple retrieval processes. After that they’d have to see how many eggs are actually viable.

P3: Then she’d have to go through treatments which usually take 6-8 weeks. So unless they started this process way before the wedding, I’m calling bs. If this is a PR stunt to make her seem more relatable or add to her damsel story, it’s a really crappy thing to do. Oh, and if she were having twins as small as she is she’d be way bigger at 4 months. Unless she’s not really that far along.


Maybe, but according to the blinds she’d already been told she’d have trouble conceiving. In that case, trying for six months would not have made sense. 

Also, if the rumors are true that Harry’s fertility is impaired, then they would likely go to IVF since male factor infertility is one of the reasons people use IVF, even when the mom’s fertility is fine.

It’s amazing that you can be on a Commonwealth tour as youth embassador without mentioning both any time. They are just visiting girls schools to look established programs. Than they do walkabouts. It’s all for mm’s empowerment nonsense and her merching. It’s so obvious that it’s planned for her. That’s not a royal tour. No history, no military, no cultural exchange, no business just presentation of mm. And she is really bad doing it.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

It’s ALL self-promo about Meg’s biography and her cooking and yoga hobbies. It’s the Tig Tour, complete with recipes! It’s the one royal tour that makes me grateful that there’s a huge time difference and I can sleep through most of it.

The World Needs More Moral Heroism Like This

jkottke:

For the NY Times, rabbi David Wolpe writes about the moral courage of Chiune Sugihara, The Japanese Man Who Saved 6,000 Jews With His Handwriting.

In 1939 Sugihara was sent to Lithuania, where he ran the consulate. There he was soon confronted with Jews fleeing from German-occupied Poland.

Three times Sugihara cabled his embassy asking for permission to issue visas to the refugees. The cable from K. Tanaka at the foreign ministry read: “Concerning transit visas requested previously stop advise absolutely not to be issued any traveler not holding firm end visa with guaranteed departure ex japan stop no exceptions stop no further inquires expected stop.”

He wrote the visas anyway…thousands of them.

Day and night he wrote visas. He issued as many visas in a day as would normally be issued in a month. His wife, Yukiko, massaged his hands at night, aching from the constant effort. When Japan finally closed down the embassy in September 1940, he took the stationery with him and continued to write visas that had no legal standing but worked because of the seal of the government and his name. At least 6,000 visas were issued for people to travel through Japan to other destinations, and in many cases entire families traveled on a single visa. It has been estimated that over 40,000 people are alive today because of this one man.

What moral heroism. Fred Rogers often quoted his mother as saying, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” That message was directed at young children who he wanted to help feel secure. For us adults, Rogers might have encouraged us to exercise more moral courage and become those helpers, not just look for them. The world today could use more of that.

Meghan is in wedges! Celebitchy and the cult would go crazy. They bashed Kate so much for wearing wedges and look their savior is doing the same. So funny how all the things they bashed Kate with, Megs is doing the same.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

The buttons, the sausage curls, the identical pieces of clothing, the faces, the mom moving in, getting security and cars and even attending events, friends using them for promo, the two homes, even MOAR wiglets, embarrassing family members… The list goes on and on. I’m very amused by how Meghan does EVERYTHING that they hated in Kate a thousand times worse than Kate and yet they keep claiming that “it’s different for Meghan because reasons.”

Re: pregnancy and jet lag. No. I and most women are tired during the first trimester (naps were obligatory for me) but once the 2nd tri hits the energy comes back. The 3rd tri is when you start to yearn for end of this and need to keep close to toilets LOL. Her manic energy which is on display here is pretty weird for a 1st trimester pregnant woman.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

In any case, it doesn’t sound like she’s feeling well. I’m still kind of baffled as to why she’s doing this. She pulls ranks on stuff like airplanes, security details, pictures and crap like that, but doesn’t avail herself of the privileges of the position when important stuff like pets and kids is concerned. It’s bizarre.

Nooo…

wempresstarot:

-Nooo!

I just learned that the Harkles visited the #FLYINGDOCTORS (RFDS) yesterday?  THE FLYING FREAKING DOCS! They are genuinely #iconic.

How in the name of all things wholly unholy did they manage to make it so mind-numbingly dull, uninspired and allowing it to fall so completely by the wayside of their personal #inanepdatour? Can’t understand how you can just stand there and nod like a zoned out zombie with an engagement like that.  -How?

Don’t they advise women that do IVF to take it easy the first few months of pregnancy? add that this is a geriatric pregnancy and the chances that something could go wrong are even higher. She had to have been advised to stay at home by doctors. Why in the world would she take that chance and decide to add more stress to her life with this tour… is she trying to prove something or is she just that obsessed with attention, i wonder…

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I KNOW!!!!!!

My guess is that she didn’t realize how the pregnancy would affect her, so she told them that of course she would go to Australia and handle a packed schedule and a Zika tour leg. 

I’d throw in a complete lack of humility for the root of her problem. If she had more humility, she wouldn’t be engaging in such arrogant, dumb behavior. 

It’s ironic that they talk about fast fashion and waste when she wears essentially disposable, couture clothing to every event. Hardly any of these outfits are classic, stand the test of time clothing choices. She’s doing fast fashion on a million dollar budget. And poor Charles is still recycling shoes from the 70s, just keeps re-soling them.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Thank you for sending this. I was trying to formulate the same argument but it was coming out all garbled.
