@Writer_DG your books were my pandemic comfort food. Ty!! I have a question for you about the scene in Bees where Jamie asks Claire about not telling him that Frank looked like Jonathon. 1/2

No, Jack Randall was Frank’s ancestor, all right.” “I see.” Jamie’s fingers had grown damp; he took them away and wiped them absently on his kilt. “Then … perhaps the ring means nothing, mo nighean donn,” he suggested gently. I’d love to know what you were thinking between 3/4
But in then there’s the scene in Dragonfly: “I don’t see how. If you’d known Frank—but no, I suppose I’ve never told you. When I first met Jonathan Randall, I thought for the first moment that he was Frank—they weren’t the same, of course, but the resemblance was …startling. 2/3

The Russian Embassy in Lisbon. Two neighbouring houses are projecting the blue and yellow onto its facade. The ambassador is reportedly “apoplectic”.

Just listened to an interview with the father of a Russian soldier who had been captured in Ukraine. After praying for his son’s safety, he said, with visible anger: “Why aren’t the sons of oligarchs out there fighting this senseless war? Where are they? Who needs this war?”

The White moderates MLK warned us about. @victorerikray on Manchin & Sinema: "At worst, their so-called moderate position of defending the filibuster gives cover to an anti-democratic extremism reminiscent of many of the worst moments in American history."

States that legalized marijuana collected over $10 billion in tax revenue. Weed sales improve the economy while 40,000 people are locked up for cannabis offenses. I am begging @POTUS to deschedule marijuana and release these people. This is the emancipation of our lifetime.
