Lindsey Elende is a countess.
Ronalde Garrone is a radical.

When revolution erupts, two unlikely friends will become either desperate enemies or vital allies while the ax hangs close over their heads.

On par again, but holding on for dear life. Also late for bed.

@authoradraeanna Haha, oh fun. I've had some similar experiences with Spanish speaking students heh

My sister traveled to a country where few enough people speak English, let alone Hebrew. Well, she overheard this couple arguing in Hebrew, and she was dying to interrupt and let them know she understood.
Poor couple, they were probably so secure that they spoke in confidence 😅

@LeannaRapier Haha, valid. Whenever my Dad did have to sit on the stand though, he always gave my mom a little peck before going up

Marriage advice from two people married over 40 years and are very cutsy:
Always sit together.
Even with 8 kids, if one of us tried to squeeze between my parents, my dad would joking call them a lump of clay (reference to some marriage council from way back) and move us.

This whole business of announcing that you don’t sit with your spouse at church in order to be more “welcoming” seems to me a new form of Pharisaism.

It feels like @TGC and @CTmagazine publish these articles and parade the fact that they don’t sit with their spouses at church in order to suggest that they are somehow more holy or spiritual by doing something unnatural that scripture never asks for— separating husband from wife in church services.

A lot more that could be said about this both stupid and destructive advice, but this is one of them.

Except of course Darcy who reveals that he's an idiot, but the woman in question is his sister in this case

Saw some discourse on damsel in distress saving, so it's time to remind people that Sir Walter Scott's men are almost always saved by the women without either character losing anything from the exchange

@AbigailFalanga It must have been the 2003 version. The suburb part was creepy and Charles WAllace with red eyes and all that

My students didn't believe me that there were such things as Thanksgiving songs, so I played one of my Thanksgiving playlists while they worked on their narratives.
Single handedly spreading the Thanksgiving spirit.🦃

@rr_author Hah, I can't imagine hating ATTC, BUT I did hate Rob Roy, my favorite Scott novel, the first time, which is shocking really

I think the most love my students have had for Shakespeare was watching the 90s Twelfth Night, and that was the most love I had for Shakespeare until college myself.

[David Wall @wall_david61]

@charlesmurray What percent of all students ever really loved Shakespeare?

[Mary Shurtleff (has a book out 👀) @mshurtleffwrite]

@SevereCritic Haven't heard of it, but I'll check it out, haha
