#ceremonial speech

[hellenhighwater]

My parents and I were talking about our Bar admissions, for some reason, and they'd both forgotten that my motion for admission, put forward by my brother (also a lawyer) began, "My sister has many issues, but the one before the Court today is that of her admission to the State Bar."

Start as you mean to go on, I guess.

@bucketofdrugs is ruining Hank's day

Lucy had been nervously clutching at her little bouquet while Overseer Jackson stepped in to discuss the exchange with her dad, happy to reunite with a friend. "So... who am I marrying?" she asked playfully, but with a hint of nervousness, and the Overseer moved aside to let her future husband come in. Oh. He was a charming looking man, now that was sure. Older than her, which raised a few questions - had he chosen to not marry? had he not been given the chance before because there was something wrong with him? He was married and divorced or widowed? - but she noted with relief that there was nothing scary or immediately displeasing about him. He was not a cannibal or full of tumors either, no matter what Norm said. She hadn't seen his butt yet, to finish refuting everything her brother had suggested. Plus, since he was handsome, it would not be difficult to do her part in repopulating America, and that was great.

So Lucy smiled, her wide, happy, friendly smile, "Hi, I'm Lucy. Do you have a name?"

Brennan, your prompt is: during his speech at the reception of an American evangelical wedding, the best man gushes just a little too much about the groom.

I’m sorry, but the camerawork of this moment makes it unintentionally so fucking hilarious

"Hamas' terrorists did not pity anyone on October 7th. Not religion, not nationality and not belief changed the fate of those who were murdered that Saturday. Awad Darawshe, of Iksal, was a young man who studied medicine, volunteered at the United Rescue EMS organization, and worked as an ambulance driver for a living; and on the morning of October 7th he was an on call first responder at the Nova party. When the massacre began, Awad exited his ambulance and ran out to aid the many wounded. When the emergency service center asked him to quickly evacuate and leave, Awad insisted on devotedly treating the casualties, until he was shot point blank by the murderers. Awad's sister, Maysam, shall give an address."

"Many ask me what kind of child Awad was. Those who knew him from the stories of the Black Saturday, knew that he was a paramedic and ambulance driver who was murdered at the Nova party. But for us, Awad was our little boy at home, our light, our life, who filled the house with warmth and love. Awad was a boy who always loved helping, full with endless energies. He was a boy full of dreams. He wanted to be a doctor, but also a great chef. To build his own home, but also stay forever by our parents' side. After six days of uncertainty, our Awad came back home in an ambulance, this time - dead. Awad, I'm hearing the words mother tells about you in Arabic, the same language that on Saturday morning was linked with blood and horrors, and many here must struggle to hear it. But it is the language of our childhood! The language with which we dreamed of a better future, of love, of peace, and of life - for all of us. To quote mother: [in Arabic] 'Awad was a gift from the heavens. His journey was short, but it carried many and massive meanings, which taught us how to love each other, help each other, and not let hatred and envy live in us.' Awad, I hope you could hear me. Shukran."

The People's Memorial Ceremony, October 7th, 2024.

[racingliners]

I do think that having the artistic part of the ceremony being split into chunks is why this feels so off

with my graduation approaching, more and more ppl are learning that i'm gonna graduate and then asking if i'm gonna walk, and then, upon learning i will not, asking why.

and i was contemplating reasons but u kno what it boils down to?

there won't even be free food.

do u expect that i, very nearly 32 years old and terrified of my future, will actively wish to pay for a cap and gown, leave my house and go all the way to the graduation venue, sit through long speeches about the future and what it means to become an adult, and then have to join a long line of ppl walking across a stage to shake some guy's hand,

when there won't even be free food?

c'mon.

Day 7 of the Invictus Games 2023 (9/16/23). The last day. The Duke of Sussex gave a speech at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games Düsseldorf 2023 at Merkur Spiel-Arena. He got a little emotional. 🥺
