OK, so I was going to bed and I will but someone's in the loo and I flicked to my feed and I gotta ask
Austerity, meaning:
Does the government actually advertise like this? Because people have been talking about it as long as I've been aware and I honestly thought it must have been a good thing, or at least something that made sense. But no, it's just being a dick. How do you go a decade of people telling you you're being a dick and not even consider changing course.
Rhaegar and Lyanna—well, that’s a revelation that will need to wait for later volumes. But if you are uncertain about it, I am glad. That is one thing I wanted to do was suggest the uncertainty of truth. I mean, think about it. In our own world, we don’t even now what happened between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings … The truth of Rhaegar and Lyanna may be similarly elusive … for a time. - GRRM
GRRM comparing the oh so romanticized Thomas Jefferson & Sally Hemmings to the oh so romanticized Rhaegar & Lyanna is so confusing to me?
- Without question Thomas Jefferson was a real life slave owner and r*pist to teenage Sally Hemmings. Yet American media/“history” was disgusting enough to try and “romanticize the two as a love story” 🤮
Therefore George is either showcasing how troubling the story is between R/L comparing them to a historically monstrous relationship between another teen girl and far more powerful man….or he’s buying into the romanticism? 🤮

You ever see an ad and just hope they got paid really well? Because that thirty second bit of garbage ruined their dignity
UK government is really trying to ban phones while also cutting funding for youth groups and libraries and raising the cost of living
being aroace and also a picky eater is just a constant stream of "well how do you know you won't like it if you never try it"
