I have always admired, followed and appreciated Princess Diana. Her loss was devastating to her sons, her nation and the world. On July 1, this year, she would have turned 60 years old.
The Diana Award honors young people who work to improve the lives of others. The Award is the most prestigious accolade a young person aged 9-25 can receive for their social action or humanitarian work.
Named after Diana, Princess of Wales, the award was established in 1999 by a board chaired by Gordon Brown.
Prince Harry has spoken movingly about his mother’s belief in the power of young people to “change the world” ahead of the unveiling of Diana’s statue.
You got that right!! And shameless about it … nothing worse than ignorant people who think they know it all!! … “The funniest thing about Republicans trying to dictate which history is taught, and fighting so hard to make sure the only history taught is white history, is they really suck at history.”
The moral standard our founding fathers set out for us to achieve was one they didn’t want to apply for themselves. It took 86 years after the signing of the document that declared “all men are created” equal for us to end slavery, though a lot of slaves weren’t aware of it at the time. It took 94 years after the signing of that document before our nation gave the right to vote for black Americans, at least on paper. It took 144 years before our nation gave women the right to vote. It took four decades after passing the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote, to pass the Voting Rights Act because all the racist fucks in the south weren’t listening when the right to vote for black Americans was passed in 1870.

It’s Monday … and I’m happy to say that I finally subscribed to Appple TV+.
I started watching this series during the weekend. I must say it’s not the ‘run of the mill’ series. It’s another type, another ‘work of art’, futuristic and qutie interesting.
It Momoa day … it was Momoa weekend for me!

In the early twenty-first century, a virus wiped out all but two million humans, those surviving having lost the sense of sight.
“See” takes place centuries later, where society has found new ways to interact, build, hunt, and survive without vision.
In the mountains, Baba Voss, the chieftain of the Alkenny tribe, takes in and marries a woman, Maghra, who comes to the Alkenny seeking shelter. Baba Voss has been unable to father children, and the woman is pregnant when she first arrives.

The biological father, Jerlamarel, is an outlaw wanted by the Queen of the Kane Dynasty of Kanzua Dam for the heresy of being “sighted” (the ability to see).

While singing her original song “It’s Ok,” Nightbirde’s authenticity and ethereal vocals took center stage. Simon, who is known to be a fairly harsh critic, even called her voice “absolutely stunning.”
During the audition, however, Nightbirde shared some tough personal news – she had “some cancer” in her lungs, spine and liver. Nightbirde also later revealed that she was given a 2% chance of survival.
Five years ago, you were teacher of the year and now this.
All this would be fine—well, not exactly fine but manageable—if you were not due at this faculty meeting in half an hour. You look at the other drivers—some passing you, and some you are passing. You look at their faces and wonder how great the gap is between who they are and who they know they could be. You’re on Interstate 10. The I-10 is known to locals, depending on your direction, as the San Bernardino Freeway or the Santa Monica Freeway. Freeways here, true to the romantic nature of the West and its ever-hopeful revision of the life that came before, are made for movement and the future and they’re named for where you’re going—not where you’ve been.
The past, well, that’s for when you turn around. Where you’ve been is only important in the context…
