fb quiz is all: "which austen heroine are you?? Lizzy? Emma? Marianne?" meanwhile i'm discovering this read-through of Northanger Abbey that i'm actually henry tilney: flirting style right down to crankypants rant on the incorrect usage of a word and his refusal to be serious AT ALL after the fact

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

ahaha comments on the cover model range from "ooh YUM" to "i never did! absolutely not" and honestly i love both 😂

i've given up trying to get exact matches, but it does make for some fun discussions!

iranians are pushing through blood, death & darkness, but they have the will to overcome

praying for success, peace, and eventually, healing

trumpet can keep his bombs. to one country slaughtering its own people from another doing the same on a much smaller scale, there can be no real help
'While reports state that at least 2,000 people have been killed, unofficial estimates are as high as 12,000.'

The loss is incalculable, but it's inconceivable to me that the repressive Iranian regime can survive making war against its own people like this.
