"Some" of them never got the 40 acres and a mule? Actual history: General Sherman issued the order in Jan 1865. Lincoln assassination April 1865. Andrew Johnson overturned it in Fall of 1865. No land. No mule. You're welcome.

Dishonest or at least disingenuous. I'm having a hard time convincing myself that the media, writ large, isn't rather complicit in our country's woes. It's gone beyond fox/oan/newsmax/nypost.
@DonaldJTrumpJr
Nope. There was a vote 55-44 and the bill failed. Didn't reach agreed upon 60 votes - Cruz negotiated that in order to get his bill on the floor. Filibuster had nothing to do with it. Swing miss Jr.

Been thinking a lot about that. He tried to essentially blackmail him to lie. Withheld aid. Denied a WH visit. All to deny him our critical clear support.

@stella_GJ_fan
do you know when this was?
#SaveGentlemanJack
The crackling fire. The breath. The dart for the hand. The sweet kisses. The single tear wiped away by her wife. "I'm going to start packing for York" confirming she is committed to their marriage. The unique swelling music. Vulnerable Anne. THIS IS ART!
#SaveGentlemanJack
Scene runs 5:15. The moment Ann says "Anne" & she spins around, I'm choked up. This 90 seconds. My lord. "I love you Anne. I'm in love with you." The way she says "Anne". 🎶 swells. The kiss. This kiss. I'm wiping tears...every time. 🙏

Anne Lister accentuating the gentleman in Gentleman Jack with an extended hand guiding her beautiful wife into and out of carriages. It's so casual yet so lovely. More of this in S3 and more importantly, carriage kisses. More carriage kisses. 🎩♥️
#BringBackGentlemanJack
We've all seen this interview (post S1) but Suranne states clearly she instantly "fell for" Sophie. Their chemistry was palpable and their relationship only deepened that natural connection over time. Damn did they get it right! A gift that keeps giving.

Upon reflection, he was doing Putin's bidding to weaken a new Ukrainian president after the Russian backed Poroshenko was ousted. It's insidious.
(HILLTOP!) Unhinged? Ann learns Anne is "here"-lump in my throat. She says "Anne" and they're eyes meet, tears. Every time. Possibly 50 times. I know I'm not alone.

Telling your future wife you're in love with her. Caressing her cheek & giving her space to express her fears while gazing into her eyes. Wiping her tear. Then the most epic f'ing kiss ever. This is about OUR thirst for S3. Faith is all. 🎩

Another installment in my ongoing triumphant endeavour..."These women. Such instinctive acting."
No script notes! Only the Actors & Director. The way Sophie utterly channels Ann as she holds and strokes Suranne's hands in loving desperation. Details. 🥰

We flirt. We play. We laugh. We kiss. We are impertinent. We travel. We deal with pesky exes. We deal with overbearing family. We love. We protect. This incredible show represents all of it. Our lives and our love is universal.

Tears for me-every time. Suranne catching the emotion in her throat. Sophie's pleading "Anne". The speech-a culmination of years of suppressed pain. "What am I?" "But you came so close."
Spoiler Alert! 💍❤️🎩 They were only on a break!!
#TearfulTuesday

"These Women. Their Instinctive Acting" resumes tomorrow. It's been interesting. Their chemistry connection combined with building rapport over time (which is what SJ describes) are both next level. Suranne & Sophie studied. Read. Rehearsed. Goddesses. 🙏

I'm posting with limited comment. My point is, as always, unsubtle. 🎩🥰
Believe in love. Believe you can recover from dysfunction. Believe it can be better. Always believe.
I love these real life wives and I love this fandom.😘

You've caused emotional upset. Step 1: grab wife's hand, kiss that wedding band; Step 2: put her hand on your cheek, kiss it with deep love; Step 3: wipe her tear, place your hand on her heart to reassure her. Cue cello.

Seven seconds. Seven full seconds. That's how long Anne lovingly admiringly gazes at Ann after she exerts her authority over misogyny and its attempt to control her. Ann stands up for her life and love and demands that (her wife) Anne stays! A moment. 💪
#BringBackGentlemanJack
A New Year has begun its roll across the globe. Adieu 2023.
In 2024 we celebrate the 190th anniv of the Ann(e)s historic union. Let us also celebrate the tv gods making right what the tv gremlins set so ver. wrong.
I raise my glass with true faith.🥂

Out of script note "she kisses her delicately" we get this incredibly beautiful moment and the most reassuring hug ever. A demonstration of why "These Women. Their Instinctive Acting" series continues. The material is abundant.

Magnificent real life lesbians marry & live an inspiring life in this exquisite and life-altering 19thC dramedy.

"The side kiss scene". Loyal to script but then S&S whisper "come from the side, it'll be sweet/hot. Yes!" 🤷♀️ Then Suranne pinky flirts! 🥰

Anne Lister, master logician, made me read about Euclid. Seriously. Freakin' ancient Greek mathematician. I hate math. Math hates me. Though I did find geometry interesting so it wasn't the worst bit of reading. But still...math! 🎩

Um...you were indeed. ❤️

Young Sophie had no idea her talent would spread love on a global scale. Her deeply affecting portrayal of Ann Walker is often staggering-her emotional investment clear. She's given much and deserves to get all the love. I honor that. ❤️

"...and left our card (Mrs. Lister and Miss Walker)..." ~Feb 3, 1837
A very ordinary married couple day. What isn't ordinary? In 1837 they have a JOINT calling card. OUR card. No words for the courage of these lesbians. BAD ASS!

will find a way forward if there is one. UK audience was larger and the emotional reaction to this loss may well inspire some financial creativity.
While we watch in horror events unfold around the world, let us not forget to breathe and be kind.
I know Slo-Mo Monday is a silly offering but it's also a positive distraction. That said, a little tenderness never hurt anyone. Try it. ♥️☮️

Well I think it's a given that most of us have certain things in common with the Ann(e)s. That's all need to be said about that. It would be infra dignitatem to say more. 🎩

Brief vows.
AW: "Anne. I adore you. When I'm with you, nothing else matters & the whole world makes sense. I have no doubts."
AL: "Adney. I vow with surety that my first & greatest wish will always be for your happiness. You are all that matters to me now."

Everyone will sit in stunned silence when I say my lunch would be with Sophie. Love to know how much journal she's read. How she grew her understanding to realize her AW portrayal. Most important ❓ is how in love is she with Suranne.

Some of the best moments of writing/acting revolved around Eve knocking Villanelle off kilter. The bus kiss is one of the best. V comes in smoldering with confidence and leaves like WTF? Love it.
