They Were Such A Harmonious Couple ❤️

i still cannot get it out of my head that a police officer pointed a gun and screamed "get on the ground" repeatedly when faced with a young man burning alive. its been like 12h since i saw the video and it keeps coming back to me. you literally could not ever make this up

if someone wrote this scene as a political metaphor ppl would roll their eyes, as if as if as if. and it just happened. the arm of the state that holds a gun knows nothing but killing even when faced with death itself

An illustration of King George V and Queen Mary's visit to Parkhead forge in Glasgow during their Scotland tour in july, 1914. After they inspected the various operations of gunmaking, a 100 tone crain was advancing to them, carrying in a shining steel sling a little girl with a bouquet for queen Mary. The child was Miss Annie Dunlop, daughter of one of the timekeepers at the forge. The bouquet was bought with pennies which were subscribed by employes at Parkhead.

'I can never sufficiently express my deep gratitude to you, darling May, for the way you have helped and stood by me in these difficult times. This is not sentimental rubbish, but what I really feel.'

"According to the account written in the 1920s by an American journalist, Mabel Potter Daggett, George and Missy’s Malta romance actually went as far as to a series of kisses, the most important supposedly occurring on the occasion of Missy’s 14th birthday party. She was still ‘‘a flat little girl with golden hair hanging down her back.” But for the party, she’d graduated into her first bustle and hung a string of pink coral around her neck. Catching sight of Missy alone in a San Antonio gallery, George is supposed to have said, “I say, Missy, my word but you’re pretty,” then “caught her in his arms and kissed her.” There were more kisses to follow,” continued Mrs. Daggett, “for it was first love that had occurred to both.”
