A Wrinkle in Time Mrs. Which

[eiledon]

As I have yet to cultivate the needed talent to draw the little people that live in my head at a level that I feel does them justice, I am forced to rely on other sources of art. I could take the much easier and exponentially cheaper route of using AI art to generate some cheap, slightly off putting version of them.

Yes, I could very much do that.

But seeing as I am completely and holistically, morally and utterly opposed to the idea of AI art, I shall instead need to resort to those tiny little anime avatar makes on picrew. The way GOD himself intended!

And I shall continue with this method until I either A) have enough money to pay a real, HUMAN, artist to draw them for me, or B) have crafted the talent to bring them to live myself.

Imaginary Harkles Christmas Disaster w/BRF

https://archive.li/2023.11.22-183434/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/columnists/2023/11/22/inviting-harry-and-meghan-for-christmas-disaster-for-royals/

What an incredible story this would be. According to a national newspaper, an unnamed friend of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex says the couple would “readily accept” an invitation to spend Christmas with the Royal family at Sandringham.

It’s certainly a heartwarming suggestion. For the sake of all concerned, however, we’d better hope that no such invitation is forthcoming – because I fear that the King would soon regret it. As everyone knows, even the happiest of families can end up rowing at Christmas, never mind families that are already at one another’s throats.

And then there’s the risk that the Sussexes would give a tell-all television interview to Oprah Winfrey afterwards. Just imagine…

Oprah: “So you guys spent Christmas with Harry’s folks back in England. You must have been so thrilled when King Charles asked you over.”

Meghan: “We were. Christmas has always been such a special time for me. Santa is actually a really close friend of mine. As a little girl, I was just so humbled by his work as a philanthropist and humanitarian, bringing hope to all the children of the world. And that was a big inspiration for the kind of compassionate global activism I do today.”

Oprah: “That’s so wonderful. And so how did it go with Harry’s family?”

Harry: “It was a complete disaster.”

Oprah: “Oh no. What happened?”

Harry: “It started when I asked William if he’d like to pull a cracker with me. It was my cracker, so he should have let me win. I mean, that’s the rule of cracker-pulling, everyone knows that. But he pulled really hard, so he won. And then he put the paper crown on his head. Like he was trying to really rub it in that he’s going to be king, and I’m only the spare.”

Oprah: “How awful. I can’t believe anyone could be so insensitive.”

Harry: “But that wasn’t all. Inside the cracker was a tiny plastic comb. And just because he won, he insisted on keeping it. Even though he doesn’t need a comb. Whereas I still do. Just about.”

Oprah: “Harry, I’m so sorry that that happened to you. It must have been so traumatic. But Meghan, what about you? Were you able to patch things up with the other royals?”

Meghan: “No. Not after the really upsetting Christmas present they gave me. You won’t believe what it was.”

Oprah: “Go on.”

Meghan: “It was a Barbie princess doll.”

Oprah: “Oh my God. That is so insulting.”

Meghan: “I know. Because I’ve already got the Barbie princess doll. And I’d specifically asked for the Barbie Dreamhouse Playset. It’s just yet more proof that they never listen to me.”

Oprah: “Wow.”

Harry: “Obviously we were both really unhappy, and wanted to leave. But then my dad tried to calm things down by suggesting a nice festive game of charades. So we agreed to stay.”

Oprah: “That must have taken so much strength and courage.”

Harry: “But then William took the first go. He did the sign for a book. Then the sign for ‘title, one word’. And then he started miming someone screaming and wailing and crying their eyes out. I was absolutely furious. ‘Hey!’ I shouted. ‘You’re blatantly doing Spare! My book!’”

Oprah: “Unbelievable.”

Harry: “He looked really puzzled, and said, ‘No I’m not. It’s Misery, by Stephen King.’ But I wasn’t falling for that. So we walked straight out, and caught the first private jet home.”

Steve Martin was originally cast as Armand Goldman and Robin Williams was to play Albert Goldman in "The Birdcage" (1996) but scheduling conflicts caused Martin to drop out of the role and Williams then decided to assume the role of Armand instead, as he wanted a change from flamboyant characters. The role ultimately played by Nathan Lane.

Filmmaker and PBS producer Rick McKay was hired by director Mike Nichols, months before filming of "Birdcage" began, to go to Paris, London, San Francisco, and Atlanta to make a feature length documentary about drag queens. McKay did thorough research to find drag queens all over the world to interview and to film in performance. This finished documentary was used to train Lane and Williams.

Nichols required that Lane and Williams filmed at least one good take of each scene sticking to the script before he would allow them to improvise (something both of the actors are known for).

While Lane, like his character in the film, is openly gay, he hadn't come out at the time of the film's release.

"There's not a day in my life I'm not proud of being gay, but I just wasn't ready for that attention to be placed on it. I remember being on Oprah. Well, not on 'Oprah.' Near Oprah. She started saying, 'Now, Nathan, you got all those girlie moves going down in 'The Birdcage', where's all that coming from? You're so good at all that girlie stuff!'"

During that interview, Winfrey asked Lane if he was afraid that taking a gay role would typecast him for gay roles or make people question his sexuality for the rest of his career. Lane replied, “Not really…. I don’t have an image to uphold. I’m basically a character actor. I’m not a sex symbol. From role to role I’m usually pretty different, and the material was so incredible, I don’t know how you could turn it down because you would be worrying about your image. It’s a wonderful character and very nurturing….”

The celebrity magazine Us later asked Lane point-blank, “Are you gay?” and Lane responded, “I’m 40, single, and I work a lot in the musical theater. You do the math. What do you need — flashcards?”

Born Joseph Lane, Nathan had to change his first name in order to join Actors Equity because there was already another actor named Joseph Lane. He chose the name Nathan after the character of Nathan Detroit from the Broadway musical "Guys and Dolls." Coincidentally, he later played that role in the hugely successful 1992 revival of "Guys and Dolls" on Broadway.

On Flog It today - Bobblehead Beatles, car mascots, from 1964, made in Japan, for Car Mascots Inc.

Man said he bought them in Phoenix Arizona for $200 in a vintage thrift shop. He said he saw them a couple of days later on an Oprah Winfrey show where she said they were worth $8,000 so rushed back to buy them. About a month or so later she put out an apology, saying they weren’t worth that, as she got them confused with promo dolls, approx 3ft tall.

Estimated auction value £300-500. “There are fanatical Beatles fans out there” says the expert. (Hahaha he’s not joking- here I am!)

Sold for £320. (Unfortunately not to me 😭)

Drive-Away Dolls is a 1985 American epic coming-of-age period drama film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Menno Meyjes, based on the Pulitzer Prize–winning 1982 novel of the same name by Alice Walker. It was Spielberg’s eighth film as a director, marking a turning point in his career as it was a departure from the summer blockbusters for which he had become known. It was also the first feature film directed by Spielberg for which John Williams did not compose the music. The film instead featuring a score by Quincy Jones, who also produced. The cast stars Whoopi Goldberg in her breakthrough role, with Danny Glover, Oprah Winfrey (in her film debut), Margaret Avery, and Adolph Caesar.

Filmed in Anson and Union counties in North Carolina,the film tells the story of a young African-American girl named Celie Harris and the brutal experiences she endured including domestic violence, incest, child sexual abuse, poverty, racism, and sexism.

The film was a box office success, grossing $98.4 million against a budget of $15 million. The film received acclaim from critics, with particular praise going to its acting (especially Goldberg’s performance), direction, screenplay, musical score, and production values. The film was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Goldberg, Best Supporting Actress for both Avery and Winfrey, and Best Adapted Screenplay, but did not achieve a single win. It also received four Golden Globe Award nominations, with Goldberg winning Best Actress in a Drama. In 2006, the American Film Institute ranked the film 51st on its list of most inspiring movies.

Despite the success, the film is a source of controversy with many criticizing the film for its negative depiction of African-American males who are all shown as brutally violent. The film was also criticized by some for being “over-sentimental” and “stereotypical”.

Podcast poltergeist "the moaning Meghan" - she just won't stop nagging!!

As a continuous whispering and murmuring, I now perceive Duchess Meghan's constant nagging. There are always new headlines that Prince Harry's wife has complained about something again.

"Chapter 2903: Meghan nags" - this time we hear the Duchess nagging in her latest podcast episode, "Breaking down 'The Bimbo' with Paris Hilton and Iliza Shlesinger." The subject of the podcast episode includes the objectification of the Duchess of Sussex on the TV show Deal Or No Deal 15 years ago. Here she was one of the deco women of the gaming show, stumbling around in high heels and carrying suitcases of money. One of their entry tickets into the world of the beautiful and the rich.

Nowadays, Duchess Meghan is still "grateful for the experience of that time", but in her audio format "Archetypes" she complains that she was "not valued for her brain" as a background decoration on the show, but more like a stupid fool was treated. No, just say! Which didn't stop her from adorning four episodes of the game show. Exactly this look and TV appearances of this kind opened the doors to Hollywood film studios and finally the gates to the royal palace for the actress.

The voice of an employee of the gaming show, who instructed her at the time: "Markle, suck up your stomach!" can still hear it in her head to this day. I can understand that, because I "hear" Meghan's constant whining and nagging in my head like Harry Potter does "moaning myrtle". A poltergeist that lives on the toilet and is constantly howling, whining and moaning.

Meghan Markle is the "Moaning Myrtle" of the royal family!

The poltergeist of the palace is undisputedly the "moaning Meghan". The British monarchy has been rumbling ever since she entered the royal toilets for the first time. Nothing suits her, although she did everything to finally become famous, even to carry the suitcase of money as a doll. "Deal Or No Deal" was not only the name of the show that opened decisive doors in life for her, but should also slowly become a life motto of the 41-year-old, who cannot decide whether she wants to be known or not.

Through the average well-known US series "Suits", Meghan Markle became a little more famous as an actress, a little because she was never Angelina Jolie. Then she hooked Prince Harry. Rumor has it that she was also very behind that a mutual acquaintance mediated. When she arrived at the royal court, Markle acted as if she had no idea at the age of 30 that as a member of the monarchy you are now even more in the limelight than with "Suits". Too much for Miss Markle.

There was whining, howling, well, you know. The exit from the British royal family. But now that Prince Harry and Meghan could live a humble life away from the harmful spotlight, what do they do? That's right, podcast deals, a Netflix documentary, voice acting, and let's not forget the Oprah Winfrey interview. Prince Harry is also writing his memoirs. Consequence? More public than ever.

Duchess Meghan had a choice in life!

Meghan Markle once studied International Relations and Theater Studies. She graduated from both with a Bachelor of Arts. She did an internship at the US Embassy in Buenos Aires and she went on the said TV show as a suitcase girl. The "moaning Meghan" once had the choice of which of these two different paths she wanted to take. She chose fame and now she whines like hell, how hard everything is. In Public.

The less anyone writes or talks about that attention-seeking trash and her son-husband, the better. 👎

[thevirgodoll]

Do you have any idea how I can become spiritual or improve my spirituality? I've read the four agreements but I need more guidance. I don't know you, but I'm thankful that I have you. Thank you!

Doll Diaries: Spirituality

1. Start a journal.

I’m always telling you guys this in my advice tag but a journal has helped me so much becoming more aligned. I keep my thoughts, prayers, and my gratitude journal all in one notebook. This truly is key to becoming centered with oneself because you are focusing inward.

You must reflect on what has happened in your life and become introspective. Question yourself, question your life. Look within.

Pray for others, wish love and abundance for those you love.

Always write what you are grateful for every single day or at least have an alarm set at a specific time to make you stop what you are doing, close your eyes, breathe, and list five things you are grateful for.

2. Practice affirmations.

This is something I am a believer in. Affirmations will never steer you wrong because they speak to your truth.

Your affirmations must reflect your core personal values, and what you believe in. They have to reflect what reinforce your self worth and identity.

You actually say affirmations, and you may not even know it.

Negative: No matter what I do, nothing works out for me.

I am so fat, ugly, and stupid.

I always embarrass myself.

By thinking black and white statements, you are affirming something to be untrue. Sometimes, our thinking is impaired by mental illness. Affirmations have helped me in my cognitive impairment. Affirmations are essentially a declaration of your inner desires and what you wish to see in the world. You are manifesting an outcome.

Create your own positive affirmation with me.

* “I am” is typically the beginning due to its power and weight.(versus I will, or I don’t.)

* Affirm what you want — in present tense.

* Be very specific and concise.

* Include an action word (this can also replace I am).

* Include emotions.

Examples:

•I am attracting abundance into my life.

•Success effortlessly flows into my life.

•I am compassionate and forgiving; I release all beliefs that prevent me from expressing my highest self.

3. Develop your intuition.

Your intuition is the strongest force you can have. It is the subconscious. It is your guardian angel guiding you, step by step. It is your ancestors.

Always trust that your ancestors will give you a sign or a “knowing” about any situation. I am extremely intuitive and always know what to do because of my intuition.

In this day and age, we have instant gratification. What sets me apart is that I wait and read a situation before responding. I allow my angels/guides/ancestors to aid me in making an intuitively led decision. I trust myself, I trust the Spirit. Instead of searching desperately for an answer, I let it come to me.

Ask yourself: “What is this trying to teach me? What is God/my ancestors/etc trying to tell me?”

4. Inner Journey

You cannot aid a spiritual awakening until you begin to transform yourself inside and out. You have to examine what you need, personally. However, there is no way you can truly go on the journey without sacrificing the old to become the new.

A spiritually powerful person will

•Take the utmost care of themselves.

•Tune out unnecessary distractions.

•Help others.

•Learn to forgive.

•Practice patience.

•Be truthful.

•Be happy for others.

•Love themselves.

•Understand the power of now.

This is a journey you must be willing to embark on. Spirituality is from the inside out.

5. The Power of Now.

There is so much power in this very moment. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle is a book that will give you necessary tools to navigate your spiritual journey, especially if you are a person that feels like happiness never comes or you are enraptured in negative thoughts.

It is easy to be stuck on things that have happened in the past and have hurt you in the past. To truly move on, you must focus on what you can do in this present moment. You’re not saying your past doesn’t exist, you’re using your past as a model for how to handle the present. Focus on what is occurring right now, and the rest will fall into place. This is why meditation and yoga is popular as well with people, because it forces you to be present in this very moment.

The most precious thing in the world is this present moment.

Books:

The Power of Now

The Four Agreements

The Secret

The Alchemist

Movies:

Eat, Pray, Love — A woman travels the world and it changes her life. Learn everything with her. This is a life changing movie as you can learn crucial spirituality lessons without traveling physically.

The Secret — Basically the same as the book. This is the origin of Law of Attraction.

Avatar: James Cameron — as it questions morals and has a strong root in spirituality with the pantheism and environmentalism. Look at it from this angle and you will see the movie differently. It’s truly emotional and a work of art.

FROM THE MONARCHIST LEAGUE OF CANADA

As this Ecomm went to publication, we received word of the death, at the great age of 96, of Bill Silver, a significant benefactor of the League from its early days, and for many years a pillar of our Ottawa Branch.  We wished to remember him here: his ebullient spirit, fierce loyalty spoken gently, innate modesty and kindness.  Indeed Chaucer might have had forethought of Bill in describing one of his characters as a “very parfitt gentle knight.” May his ardent spirit rest in peace, and his memory be a blessing and example to us all.   LEAGUE ISSUES NEW FLYER: THE CASE FOR THE CROWN The League thought it timely and useful to issue, offer in its advertising and distribute as widely as possible - both via the website and in printed form - a new flyer which will give you, our members, ammunition to argue logically the case for the Crown in conversation with others, and, we hope, to distribute strategically. One never knows when such an item, left on a waiting room table at the doctor or dentist’s office, affixed to a supermarket or other community bulletin board, put through neighbours’ mail slots - the possibilities are many - will do good work for our cause. We hope you will both enjoy and profit from this item, and that many thousands will be distributed across the country. See item one in the WHAT CAN I DO FOR THE CANADIAN CROWN? section of this Ecomm, below, to read online and request printed copies.   And special thanks to our wonderful team of no less than seven translators, all francophones from La Belle Province, who so kindly volunteered to make the French version one that is accurate in expression and eloquent in its prose.                     WHAT CAN I DO FOR THE CANADIAN CROWN? Some suggestions for member activity during these times. We invite members to send additional ideas by return of email. 1.    How about asking the League to send you several print copies of our new flyer:  THE CASE FOR THE CROWN, or print them on your home computer:  https://www.monarchist.ca/index.php/publications and give them to others who may be unaware or sceptical of the importance of Canada’s constitutional monarchy, or even hostile to it. School teachers could be encouraged to read the League’s educational booklets, also available both online and in print at the same URL, or even to request a class set.   2.    When you read an editorial, opinion column or letter to the editor in a newspaper, or a tweet or Facebook post, critical of the Crown, don’t get mad - get even! In other words, use a temperate tone and logical argument to refute the writer’s attack.  Keep it brief: focus on the obvious flaws in reasoning, mis-statements of fact or name-calling substituting for logic.  Same goes for radio talk shows. In the long run, on all media, whatever the provocation, whatever the momentary satisfaction of ”giving them a piece of my mind” - an old adage remains true: “You catch more flies with honey.” 3.    Write your elected representative at the federal level to re-state briefly the reasons you support constitutional monarchy as our system of government,  and asking the MP whether not your view is shared. 4.    Once pandemic restrictions ease, try to make sure that Royal events - such as the upcoming 95th birthday of our Queen, 10th Wedding Anniversary of William and Catherine or 100th birthday of Prince Philip are celebrated both in your home but also among your wider family, your friends, your colleagues at the office,  your place of worship/faith community or service club. The League generally sends you some ideas to mark these celebrations. Remember, as they are incorporated into family life and public life, the     Crown becomes further embedded in the heart of the nation, and truly represents The Queen’s wish that it ”reflects all that is best and most admired in the Canadian ideal.” This is especially true when you go out of your way to include in your observance the newest members of our Canadian family, who generally are eager to participate in the traditions of their new homeland, and in turn to share their own traditions with the wider community. 5.    Always use a Queen stamp when you write a letter or pay a bill by mail. 6.     At events of ceremony, whether a Council meeting, a graduation, a civic celebration - whatever - make sure that the Royal Anthem is sung as well as the National Anthem. To the extent you can, discourage event organizers from having a soloist “perform” them. Far more pride and         learning develop from the untrained voices of loyal folk singing together. In that way, the Anthems are sung “with heart and voice” and not merely listened to.   A FINAL IDEA: AN ACT OF LOVING SUPPORT & THANKS Apart from the above, we think it would be enormously comforting and supportive for every one of us to  write a kind letter to The Queen, expressing your thoughts at a difficult time: her beloved husband ailing, a grand-child chiding other family members via sensational television, the drumbeat of the tabloids and the restrictions on her busy life caused by the pandemic.  A selection of letters, especially those from Commonwealth Realms, are indeed seen by The Queen - and their number and tone are summarized to Her Majesty. The address is - Her Majesty The Queen, Buckingham Palace, London SW1A 1AA, UK Theoretically you don’t need postage to write the Sovereign; in practice, it is safer to affix the international airmail stamp available from your local Canada Post outlet.   AN INTERESTING OPINION PIECE FROM TODAY’S DAILY TELEGRAPHWe thought you might be interested to see the following strongly-worded opinion piece, reflecting a good deal of the tone of recent British public opinion, rather different from much of the Canadian and US commentary. Meghan’s fake interview has real-world effects The Sussexes’ claims have undermined the monarchy and done lasting damage to the Commonwealth by Tim Stanley, March 15, 2021 Two headlines appeared on the BBC News website on the same day. At the top: “Harry and Meghan rattle monarchy’s gilded cage”. At the bottom: “The kidnapped woman who defied Boko Haram”. Well, that puts the Sussexes' problems in perspective, doesn’t it? Yet across Africa, one reads, the Duchess’s story has revived memories of colonial racism, tarnishing the UK’s reputation, and has even lent weight to the campaign in some countries to drop the Queen as head of state. The only nation that seems to think a lot of nonsense was spoken is Britain. In the wake of an interview that Joe Biden’s administration called courageous, British popular opinion of Harry and Meghan fell to an all-time low, and the American format had a lot to do with it. Oprah Winfrey is not our idea of an interviewer. She flattered, fawned and displayed utter credulity. Imagine if it had been her, not Emily Maitlis, who interviewed Prince Andrew over the Jeffrey Epstein allegations. “You were in a Pizza Express that day? Oh my God, you MUST be innocent! Tell me, in all honesty, though...did you have the dough balls?” This wasn’t an interview, it was a commercial for a brand called Sussex, a pair of eco-friendly aristo-dolls that, if you pull the string, tell their truth – which isn’t the truth, because no one can entirely know that, but truth as they perceive it. “Life is about storytelling,” explained Meghan, “about the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we’re told, what we buy into.” Meghan is a postmodernist. Just as Jean Baudrillard said the Gulf War never happened, but was choreographed by the US media, so the Royal narrative she was forced to live was fake, her public happiness was fake and, following that logic, this interview might involve an element of performance, too. People have challenged her claims, alleging contradictions and improbabilities, but one of the malign effects of wokeness is that you have got to be very careful about pointing this out. Why? Because wokery insists on treating a subjective view as objective truth, or even as superior, because it’s based upon “lived experience”. To contradict that personal perspective is perceived as cruel, elitist and, in Meghan’s case, potentially racist, so it’s best to wait a few weeks to a year before applying a fact check. In the meantime, affect sympathy. People would rather you lied to their face than tell them what they don’t want to hear. The result is profoundly dishonest, for I have never known an event over which there is such a gulf between the official reception, as endorsed by the media and politics, and the reaction of average citizens, who are wisely keeping it to themselves. Into that vacuum of silence steps not the voice of reason but bullies and showmen – like Piers Morgan, who said some brash stuff about Meghan’s honesty and, after an unseemly row on Good Morning Britain, felt obliged to resign from his job.  “If you’d like to show your support for me,” he wrote afterwards, “please order a copy of my book.” Dear Lord, was this row fake, too? I can no longer be sure, though I despised Good Morning Britain before and still do: it embodies the cynical confusion of emotion and fact, a show made for clicks, where even the weatherman has an opinion. So what is real in 2021? The Commonwealth, which does a lot of good in a divided world. The monarchy, which has been at its best during the pandemic, doing the boring stuff of cutting ribbons and thanking workers that, one suspects, Meghan never grew into (can you imagine her opening a supermarket in Beccles?). It contains flawed people, but that only adds to its realness, and they can adapt faster than you might think. Prince William got the ball rolling by telling reporters, who he is trained to ignore, that his family is not racist. His wife paid her respects to the murder victim Sarah Everard, demonstrating that she is neither cold nor silenced. I’d wager Kate does her duty, day after day, no complaint, not because she is “trapped”, as Harry uncharitably put it, but because she loves her family and believes in public service. Meghan and Harry have indeed prompted the Royal family to change: not in order to endorse their criticisms, however, but to answer them.
