Knowing I won't read all of the 800 or so books I own both comforts me in my wealth and grounds me in my mortality. Books have always remained to me we special and mystical as they were as a child.

I thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world when I was like, 14 lol.
Princess Lalla Salma of Morocco (born Salma Bennani), the former wife of King Mohammed VI, captured during a portrait session around the time of their marriage in 2002...
Born in 1978 in Fez to a university professor father (Abdelhamid Bennani) and mother Naima Bensouda, she lost her mother at the age of three and was raised by her maternal grandmother in Rabat. She excelled academically, earning a degree in computer science and engineering from the 脡cole Nationale Sup茅rieure d'Informatique et d'Analyse de Syst猫mes (ENSIAS). Before her marriage, she worked as an information services engineer for the ONA Group.
. . .
In 1999, she met King Mohammed at a private party, and they subsequently began a relationship. Their engagement was officially announced in October 2001. They married in 2002. Their marriage was unusual in that her family background was considered humble - her ancestors had been Jewish converts to Islam and not from the noble Berber tribes from which previous royal consorts had come. Salma was given the official title of "Her Royal Highness Princess Lalla Salma". Traditionally, the wives of Moroccan kings were only known as "mother of the princes", and were expected to live private lives away from the public.
Reports noted that her marriage terms included a commitment to a monogamous union, shifting away from traditional royal polygamy. The couple had two children together: Crown Prince Moulay Hassan (b. 2003) and Princess Lalla Khadija (b. 2007).
Although she led a more public existence than her predecessors, she still led a relatively modest schedule of public appearances. She founded the Lalla Salma Foundation for Cancer Prevention and Treatment, and also served as a UN Goodwill Ambassador and supported "World No Tobacco Day" as part of her foundation's work. She was also the first Moroccan princess consort to appear on a magazine cover.
In 2018, it was reported that Lalla Salma had left the Dar-es-Salam Palace and was living by herself in the city of Rabat. It was later confirmed that she had divorced the King. Their children remained in his custody. From this point, Lalla Salma went unseen in public for long periods of time.
Following the separation, Lalla Salma largely vanished from official state duties and public view, leading international media to track her rare private sightings. She has occasionally been spotted traveling or making private family appearances with her children, such as summer trips to Italy and Greece as well as occasional local hospital visits.

The juxtaposition would have you believe I am gathering these worms for the robin; I'm actually transporting them out of mulch they've made to vast wide fields to live happily ever after. The robin is there to illustrate the beauty of the season, nothing more...

You know that face rating website is Chinese because only the Chinese would have the courage to openly address this lol
I don't think you can call a very old, by no means sincere joke 'midwittery' when you then proceed to justify that position with nuclear powered, bombastic pseudery.
I didn't do a history post yesterday, but all that "Guy Fawkes was the last person to enter Parliament with good intentions etc etc" midwit guff is so odiously ignorant of how much Britain & Ireland had been scarred by sectarian violence and how a successful Catholic plot to murder hundreds of people was the fulfilment of every single piece of paranoid propaganda used to justify the murder of innocent Catholics. People really don't get how a successful plot would be the worst thing for Catholics in Britain. There would be none left. They would have been wiped out.

Charlotte Gainsbourg by definition does not have 'i don't know what' she has 'Jane and Serge' lol. She's a fine addition to the generational showbiz game but Jane had je ne sais quoi, Charlotte has Jane, and Charlotte would be the first to say that!
it鈥檚 so sad when you Google a celebrities kid and the je ne sais quoi their parents had didn鈥檛 get passed down. Charlotte Gainsborough is an example of a successful je ne sais quoi transference
