If this is true, it's not because they were white. It's because this was the center of Christendom.

This is the highest level of calligraphy mastery. The tips move like they are dancing. One hand. Two brushes. Chinese calligraphy has always been an art of energy and balance.

There are two photos below. One is of genocide, the other is of war waged against a terrorist state. Can you identify which is which?

An angel slumped on a lion that's finally put its head down. Canova finished this in 1805 for Archduchess Maria Christina’s monument in Vienna. She’s not even buried here. I keep coming back to the wing. It looks like it could lift any second, but it stays with the animal and the shield dumped on the step, with the kind of grief that's past shouting.

Part of what you're seeing in the response to that Lindsey Clancy case is the fruit of two things in particular… 1) Abortion. As emotionally awkward as it is to say, you cannot have a jury of women, some of whom have very probably killed their own children in the womb bc of "extenuating circumstances" or the "emotional difficulty" of going thru with pregnancy, and expect them to convict someone else as guilty of the thing they acquitted themselves as innocent from. 2) Feminism. REMINDER: Godly women are not "for women." They are FOR GOD. Women of God who love the Word of God do not WANT to be found being "for women" when it is "against the Lord."

When Dolly Parton approached Robert Plant for permission to record her version of β€œStairway to Heaven,” she reportedly worried about how he would react. Instead, Plant’s response was wonderfully simple: β€œOf course you can, you’re Dolly Parton.” And somehow, that feels like the perfect answer. Dolly didn’t try to copy Led Zeppelin β€” she took one of rock’s most iconic songs and made it unmistakably her own, adding a touch of country, gospel, and her unmistakable voice. Sometimes, a legend recognizing another legend is all the permission you need.

Replying to @aboutKP
@aboutKP In an hour, my wife and I check at KP San Marcos (Craven Road), Building 4. Unfortunately, the only place I've seen Buildings 1 through 4 are on maps inside of the Craven Road buildings. Not on Google Maps (or any other public mapping service). This makes it harder...

Are there numbers on the outside of the buildings at Craven Road?
