By coming together, all of us, by pledging our solidarity, our friendship, we’ve made history. Back in our miners’ lodge, in Wales, we have a banner. And it’s old, it’s very old. Maybe 100 years. And it’s this: two hands together, joined like this. Well, I tell you now, you’ve worn our badge, “Coal Not Dole”, and when the time comes, you have my words on this, we will wear yours. Shoulder to shoulder. Hand to hand.

Husband: Whoa, have you seen young Patrick Stewart?!

Me: I don’t think so. I kind of assumed he’s always been old.

Husband: Turns out he was handsome as fuck.

i just read a washington post article on romcoms aging poorly due to the pushiness (and oft-stalkery conduct) of the male characters therein, and it got me thinking about pride and prejudice, and specifically darcy saying, “one word from you will silence me on this subject forever.”

because, like, that’s the seldom-portrayed romantic dream in the patriarchal hellscape that is our world, isn’t it?

a dude being willing to say, “i understand if you don’t feel the same way about me, and i’ll leave you alone forever about this if my attention is unwanted.”

so simple, yet so wonderful in its basic human decency
