I have no words today.
Leonardo da Vinci — La Belle Ferronnière. detail. circa 1490–1496
Charlie Chaplin’s final speech in The Great Dictator 1940 still rings eerie truth
‘I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help each other. Human beings are like that, we want to live by each other’s happiness not others misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone .The way of life can be free and beautiful but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate goose stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed but shut ourselves in, machinery that gives us abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much, and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish..

“Public libraries are such important, lovely places!” Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldn’t just exist for you as a nice idea. That’s why more libraries shut every year
I like to see someone get back to themselves or become more like themselves again after a long period of cloudiness and rain in their life. It makes me feel so happy to see them happy again.

Cologne Cathedral, Germany. Construction began in 1248, was halted around 1560, restarted in 1814 and was completed to its original medieval plan in 1880. The builders in the 14th century created a pastel light effect that remained unique among medieval churches. It is preserved in the cathedral choir to this day. The oldest window dates back to the 13th century, the most recent window was created in 2007 by Gerhard Richter. Source
40 people liking your post on social media is considered less but 40 people complimenting you in real life is considered a lot

Buenas noches.
I admire her, woman made of fire, who rose from the ashes of her own pain and fear and turned it to courage, making an unforgiving world bow before her, for she is truly magic. I admire her, woman made of rage, who suffered silently and did her duty, rage bubbling inside her, until it erupted and her wrath was awakened, all trembling before her and her glory, for she is a lioness, and no longer caged. I admire her, woman made of steel, who was told who she was supposed to be but stayed true to herself in spite of it all. She got pushed to the ground and rose again each time stronger than the last, perpetually a warrior. People hated her because they were afraid of her, for she was original, inimitable, and the epitome of strength. I admire her, woman made of winter, who was viewed as beautiful, soft, and weak. But just like winter, she was cold, hard, and unforgiving, the world tried to chew her up and spit her out but they all underestimated her resilience. Through all her tragedies she emerged smarter, stronger, and wiser, for she faced the horrors of the world head on with their snarling faces, and being the wolf she is, she snarled back, and the world was in awe of their grave mistake. I admire her, girl made of vengeance, who loved so fiercely she took justice in her own hands because the world was flawed, the guilty still roamed the earth while the innocent were dead. She turned her pain into strength and through determination and training she slowly brought justice to the ones she loved who were taken away harshly. She is someone to be feared, someone who has had everyone she’s ever loved ripped away from her and nothing left to lose.

AAAW, So CUTE! Game of Thrones Babies by Ishan Vidyathna (Beautiful!)
Gendry has Robert’s strength, Stannis’ stubbornness, Renly’s easy laugh. And though he doesn’t carry the name. He is a true Baratheon by blood.
