i want to mention as background all of the interviews ive listened to regarding a new book by Gareth Russell. hearing so many hours of him, i trust his sensemaking. as in, he has a secure methodology and good judgement.

i dont know that i will be reading the book tho. when it is available in the states.

it was very hard for me to watch: Mary & George (is a British television historical drama created by D. C. Moore.) as in, not my business but from a cognitive bias standpoint i do want to disclose i did manage to watch it

Mary Queen of Scots is a 2018 historical drama film directed by Josie Rourke (in her feature directorial debut) and with a screenplay by Beau Willimon based on John Guy's 2004 biography Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart.

i would never watch it again. i like the actors. i liked the single earring. the rest is a total joke to me.

that's preference

what kind of historical accuracy someone needs to buy in and get down

for instance, many viewers absolutely hate the tudors for how inaccurate

i love it for what it is

something like cw's reign is super polarising, for many a total writeoff

just trash teen tv

just selling to teenagers

just stoking desire

pretty girls in runway dresses

to me: how truly bonkers it was from the start had me so truly charmed it was like eating candy

the writing begins with jumped shark

who does that??? my smile

anyway, i am no expert on the matter

i do not have a phd and i am no working historian

and yes actually, that does make a difference and that distinction does matter

my sense from all i read is simply this

if that lady and her husband and their kid couldve run far far far away

and lived as hermits

a tiny little family

raising their little boy

and teaching him how to ride a pony and teaching him how to care for falcons and hunt with them

they would have

i simply dont believe they were afforded that luxury

many luxuries yes

that luxury no

and that's all i have to say on it

so how does this overlay re: israel

stretch leep: going back to the question: is magic real

surely if magic is real

someone is gonna do something

someone is gonna intercede in a major way and it will be on surveillance

at least then, all that can be put to rest once and for all re: this story re: this narrative re: this archetypal imaginal play

i will tell you, generally speaking

strongarming

does not work

i can tell you, i do not practice magic

i can tell you i have prayed

i can tell you i have danced

i can tell you i have sang songs

i would not know if magic is real

i simply am not the one

my suggestion is to consult active practitioners

the world is a more tolerant place

there are people who openly say they practice magic. talk to them.
