Duchess Ludovika in Bavaria to her sister Archduchess Sophie of Austria, on the possible engagement of Archduke Karl Ludwig to Princess Maria Annunziata of Bourbon-Two Sicilies:

August 22, 1861 (...) My Marie [Queen of the Two Sicilies] wrote to me the other day that it was her husband [Francesco II]'s wish that his eldest sister [Maria Annunziata] could become your Karl [Ludwig]'s wife. Perhaps I should have expressed it in a much more fanciful way, but I didn't quite know how, so I fell through the door. I will now copy to you what Marie says of this sister-in-law: “Certainly Karl can find no better wife, and Aunt Sophie no better daughter-in-law. She is so shy and so learned, has such a noble, open character, such a lively spirit and so much resource, and at the same time such calm, gentle manners, just as I would wish for a wife for Gackel [Karl Theodor, Marie's brother] and a daughter-in-law for you; this must be proof for Aunt Sophie and Karl of how excellent the girl is. Although Petita [Princess Maria Immacolata, Annunziata's younger sister] is much prettier, everyone prefers Ciolla [Annunziata's nickname] because of her character, which is imprinted on her face, which is also pretty and has something so engaging and warm. I hope you will succeed in winning Aunt Sophie over to this idea; I would be indescribably happy, because I love the girl so much! I expect a good answer from you, with indescribable impatience”

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.
