Honestly, intelligent awareness has to tell them not to trust Trump, or the USA in general, if you know the history.

Why I hate Top 5 or Top 10 framings!
Share this view. Relevant history, indeed. Honestly wonder why they’d assume Donald Trump’s WH has any interest in their (very longstanding) plight.
That’s amusing, as to the whisky, Bill!
It was revealing, if not at all enjoyable, to see the GOP Senators castrate themselves like priests of Cybele the other day, for Donnie and his war.
Cover for Harold and the Purple Crayon
Don’t @ me!
Didn’t know this book until we had kids, but adored it extravagantly. There are many children’s books we loved. Call this emblematic. Also, it is such a glorious salute to childhood imagination and creativity.. #worldbookday.
Takes cojones to do that.
Cover of The Eagle of the Ninth
Young me *devoured* Rosemary Sutcliff’s work. Could have picked *Warrior Scarlet* for this, or a few others. #worldbookday
A talismanic, life-changing poet for me, even in translation. Auden wrote that we can get the *sensibilities* of a poet in a good translation. That feels deeply true. #worldbookday
Cover for Collected Poems of Yeats
Of *course* poetry books count. Don’t mess with me. #worldbookday
Cover of Dunnett’s The Game of Kings
Have to have Dorothy Dunnett here. She was so extraordinarily good. This begins her Lymond Chronicles. She was someone I knew, later, was so gracious to someone so much younger, before I’d written anything. Plus her husband Alastair taught me to put a little water in my whisky. #worldbookday
Virago cover of Renault’s The King Must Die
Continuing books I’ve loved. This is a cover I’ve never seen, but really like. The book? For me it is Renault’s best, and she’s just superb. #worldbookday
Cover of Hazzard’s The Transit of Venus
For World Book Day I’m not going to push my own books, but offer a few covers for books I have dearly loved. This first is the edition I read (and reread), and still have, but there are many other covers.

Weird how this keeps happening! www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
It’s true, Molly! 1 inning in and it is so absurdly fun.
Would be so Nice if he became unemployed… but not in Greenland.

They rejected Medium Rare Deal
Noem looks like an absolute monster here.
He pretty much does, but really, as long as she is unprosecuted, and still has her job, one that terrorizes people IN America, she’s not truly demolished.
I don’t want to overstate things, but it seems reasonable to be of the view that Kristi Noem is emerging, ever more as the days pass and new information emerges, as a contemptible human being.
An army marches on its stomach, an air war flies on its weaponry.
The lack of planning here would be unfathomable, except this is Trump’s WH and Pentagon, so terribly fathomable.
I don’t check profiles very often but yes, ‘unvaccinated’ would be a block.
Art thou despondeent?
Trotting it back.
Bravo!
Some fish rot from all over, everywhere, all at once.
Underscores how MUCH Wordle turns on the luck of your first word meshing with the solution. Today was easy for me, a 2-line win. But purely lucky.
As it happens, 40+ years ago in Fionavar I treated a red full moon in the sky as a response by a goddess to the emergence of evil, asserting it would not go unchallenged.
We needn’t see it as a bad omen?
This the Blame Jesus bit I just referenced.
The sheer incoherence of this administration is as frightening as any aspect of it.
Blame Bibi!
Blame Vance!
Hegseth’s bring on Armageddon stuff? Blame Jesus!
Now we have blame Ukraine.
