The only good thing about the cookbook is that it brought publicity to the Grenfell women and helped them tell their stories. Meghan, of course turned the spotlight on herself with the pics, the video and the foreword, but it was still kind of nice that she was willing to highlight the work of the kitchen.
But she ruined all of that now. Doria’s presence will overshadow EVERYTHING. Meghan just made it 100% clear that her goal here wasn’t to help the kitchen. Her goal was to use the Grenfell name to get as much publicity as possible for herself.
At least she’s being honest. She’s not supporting THEM or helping them in their work. THEY are supporting HER and helping her get her dream cookbook published.
Are you kidding right now? It was probably like a two minute car ride! Should Doria have walked?
I can understand if they travelled a long distance, but that car drove like…500 yards… It’s not that deep.
It doesn’t matter if it’s one penny or one million pounds. You don’t get away with misusing public funds just because you could theoretically misuse them in a more serious way. If something’s wrong you don’t excuse it entirely just because the person could have done something more serious. If I stabbed someone and they didn’t die they don’t say “well you could have killed them and you didn’t so we’ll just let you go free with no consequences.” (Yes that is a wildly exaggerated analogy but it works). This is definitely not a big enough deal to overshadow the whole event and I have posted separately about how great I think it was and how much I like this project in general but given that it’s part of a wider pattern of misusing public funds then yes, I’m going to mention it. I mention it when other royals do it so I’m going to mention it now. There is a clear understanding between the British people and the monarchy about what perks they get and what they do in exchange for those perks and this is not sanctioned within that understanding. If you can’t do something without misusing public funds then don’t do it at all. If they were that close, why didn’t they all just walk and avoid this whole drama?
She looked nice, as did the lady with the headscarf and the AMAZING salt-and-pepper tweed coat. And the lady with the black coat and the pearls and belt! OMG, I have coat envy now.
Everyone at that event was better dressed than Meghan.
Here’s the video in its full glory. He was stuck on the back seat, far side and had to go around. I don’t know about you, but I am enjoying this immensely. This tour is going to be epic. I hope he ends up doing a JFK-style “My name will be forgotten and I will be forever known as the hapless anonymous ginger who brought Meghan Markle to Australia” speech.
That’s where their relationship is right now. Charles had to step in and save her wedding. The Sam Cohen “pretty pink princess” makeover was a dud. Her family attacked her all summer long and the brf did nothing. The public doesn’t see her as a real royal.
Meghan is pissed and feeling like a victim right now. She thinks she’s the real star and these people should be doing a better job of protecting her and supporting her, and they are most definitely not doing their job. Thanks to their incompetence her “royal” launch wasn’t the success she expected and she spent most of August in a funk.
But she now sees a light at the end of the tunnel. Now that she has Hamilton and the Grenfell names behind her, she’s feeling like Harry and the brf are maybe not as necessary as she thought, and she can do this on her own, as a celeb and not a royal. She’s not ready to break out yet, after all she still needs that US tour under her belt, but there’s definitely a plan B on the works. Her focus from now on will be promoting herself and Doria, and building up her resume for an eventual break with the brf and a return to the US. To that end she needs (i) the US tour, (ii) some kind of self-produced documentary, (iii) a baby.
You have probably heard variations of these sayings before. But you may have never fully realized what decluttering the house can really do for your mind. Throwing away old things is a powerful way to give your mind clarity, focus, peace and balance.
“Is there anything shady involving MM and her money?” Tarot Reading – September 17th, 2018
Just pulled some cards to see since there’s been a lot of talk around it and this is what I got.
(KOP, center; QOP, challenge; Judgement, root; Hanged Man, past influences; Eight of Wands, crown; Moon, near-future; Strength (Meghan), feelings/belief; Fool Rx, environment; Justice, hopes/fears; King of Cups (clarifiers: Three of Cups/Five of Wands/Hierophant), outcome/new direction)
YES! YES! YES!
Literally the biggest money cards in the deck, King and Queen of Pentacles, showed up together.
So yes.
Underneath that is the Judgement card, so her shady money dealings have to do with a contract or agreement she made.
I think she did it out of sadness and not being able to spend as much as she wants and be as materialistic as she wants to be (Hanged Man).
I think this was also a quick, run of the mill decision. A “get rich quick” kind of scheme and something done mainly off of her impulse and wanting that desired wealth quickly and fast (Eight of Wands).
This is definitely a secret she’s keeping from the family and the public (Moon).
She was very determined to get this money regardless of how she got it (Strength) (Eight of Wands). She might have used sex or flirting to get it, sidenote (Strength/Eight of Wands).
Whatever she signed or agreement she made, it was a really foolish decision lmao. Like, really dumb. Like, seeing an ad online that’s says “Win a free IPhone by clicking this link” and actually clicking and thinking you’ll get anything but a virus on your computer type of dumb (Fool Rx).
Whatever she did, involves something legal or will affect her legally (Justice). And she did this with a King of Cups man, so a water sign man, or someone she was close too. I think it was one of her friends (Three of Cups) or someone she’s in bed with (the shady corruption term, not literally in bed with). It might be a man with lots of power and influence, and/or wealth (Hierophant). Someone’s who very competitive.
Pulled off top of the deck
(Emperor, Seven of Pentacles Rx, Two of Pentacles, Tower Rx, Knight of Wands (Meghan), Temperance Rx, Nine of Cups, Hermit Rx (Harry), Sun Rx (Meghan), Two of Cups Rx)
This man that’s involved (Emperor) is upset that he’s not getting his end of whatever deal they had (Seven of Pentacles Rx).
Meghan’s trying really hard to keep this from coming out (Tower Rx) and is juggling this and her other “life” stuff (Two of Pentacles).
Meghan (Knight of Wands) knows if this came out and this scandal broke (Temperance Rx), it would cause a lot of instability and disorder and mess up her happiness (Nine of Cups) and bring her bad luck and misfortune.
She also knows that if this come out and/or is found out, it would destroy Harry (Hermit Rx) and hers (Sun Rx) relationship (Two of Cups Rx) and the trust would be out the window.
“Will her shady money dealings ever come out to the mainstream press?”
(Seven of Wands Rx, center; Queen of Wands Rx (Meghan), challenge; Nine of Swords Rx, root; Six of Swords, past influences; Four of Wands, crown; Star, near-future; Six of Cups, feelings/belief; Four of Cups, environment; Four of Pentacles, hopes/fears; Page of Wands Rx, outcome/new direction;)
Three of Swords fell out while shuffling
I think it will come out (Six of Swords) (Star). I think it will come out honestly because Meghan (Queen of Wands Rx) gives up on trying to stop it (Seven od Wands Rx) and she does something that triggers/angers the person with “the key” to the info. and that person spills (Star). Literally the Star card is cups pouring over lol. Seven of Wands Rx is also a scandal and bad gossip card, so yep it will come out.
It will break a lot of the relationships she has with people (Three of Swords).
I feel like it will be released either while she’s at home (Four of Wands) or during a normally good time like a party or celebration of some sort. It will probably be the UK press that drop it.
Meghan’s very worried and gets very worked up over it coming out (Nine of Swords). It might be while she is at a charity or someone from her past or someone she has a history with (Six of Cups). I think she’s disillusioned into thinking they would never release anything bad on her because of her status now (Four of Cups).
The press like I’ve said before is sitting on this, waiting for the right time to drop it (Four of Pentacles). But it will come out (Page of Wands Rx) and considering all the Wands I’d say soon and maybe in spring. If not then, next 3-6 months. March or June. Sorry timing can be hard to predict.
Knight of Cups Rx, Ace of Pentacles Rx, Page of Cups, Nine of Wands Rx, Knight of Pentacles Rx (Harry), Devil Rx, Two of Swords Rx, World
I think a man she knew or someone she knew and has a history with will spin the beans for money (Knight of Cups Rx) (Ace of Pentacles Rx).
This announcement (Page of Cups) will bring a lot of people to distrust her and give her a lot of paranoia (Nine of Wands Rx).
This will cause Harry (Kn. of Pen. Rx) to fully realize and wake up from the illusion he likes to sleep in regarding this relationship (Devil Rx).
It will cause Meghan and/or Harry to gk emotionally turmoil and feel a trapped like hysteria (Two of Swords Rx) when this breaks (World) and it will get lots of coverage.
This is what I got guys. Hope you guys enjoy it. Send feedback and requests as always. -TT
Frustrated that the US Treasury Department is walking back plans to replace Andrew Jackson on the front of the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman, Dano Wall created a 3D-printed stamp that can be used to transform Jacksons into Tubmans on the twenties in your pocketbook.
I was inspired by the news that Harriet Tubman would replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, and subsequently saddened by the news that the Trump administration was walking back that plan. So I created a stamp to convert Jacksons into Tubmans myself. I have been stamping $20 bills and entering them into circulation for the last year, and gifting stamps to friends to do the same.
The kind of fantasy Meghan is spinning is fine in Hollywood, but once you are in the political sphere or in the royal family, it becomes propaganda. It’s as real as Trump’s supposed riches and blue collar sympathies and just as seductive. Rhiannon is correct to be wary of it.
But the UK press is in a bind because they’ve been letting the royal propaganda skate so far. Now, sure, they did it because the royals were relatively discreet about it. They visit the Grenfell victims and do fundraisers, but their pictures aren’t in the front and the interactions are a ritualized posy offering and maybe a quick hug.
But wait, you’re thinking – Lakshmi is a Hindu goddess, right? She is, the goddess of wealth, fortune and prosperity and the wife of Vishnu.
But this particular Lakshmi figurine was found in the ruins of Pompeii. It is beautiful proof of the trade links between the Roman Empire and the other great civilizations of their day.
