Silence is golden; especially when the most coveted presence on a film set chooses to embody it: the prolific Virginia Grey, seen in a colourised publicity photo sometime during the earlier chapters of her professional life. linktr.ee/arthurnewhook 🪐 #Saturn 🪐 ♄ #SaturnsDay ♄ 👸 #QueSeraSera 𓅨

🪐 ♄ #Saturn Little Bird, why do any of us bother to pray when it is apparent that nobody is listening? Why does this delicate psychic dance continue between us? Since, apparently, nobody is listening, what are we even doing here? To tend to nature? To “grow” as spiritual beings? Oh, I am so tired of hearing that New Age tripe. So tired of toxic positivity. Tired of all the creeds, tired of human beings and their bullshit. #SaturnsDay Long ago I lost faith in humanity in general; am losing faith fast in thy earthly self, woman, and am reminded of the reasons I never fell for thee when thou was in my sight, all those years ago. Yet thy higher spirit pleads for me to hang on, and my great annoyance does not diminish my hopeless love for thee. Never mind thee, however – for there is an entire world of vultures flying about, to be slayed. Love is a million different things, for good and for ill. One of them is cruel, but I shall bear no more cruelty. The cruelty is going to stop, period. That goes for thee, dear lady, and it goes for every single motherf**ker – vulture — alive. If God hath forsaken me, which I believe may be the case, then I shall demand it even of Him… I will not bear any more cruelty of any sort in this long, painful, and futile life. It ends now, one way or the other, for however long I remain cursed to this planet, and then in the hereafter, for all eternity. Lord Arthur declares his patience with human relations and human beings hath reached its end. This bird is pissed! #QueSeraSera …but what shall be shall be my redemption and my glory, for I shall be a phoenix rising from the ashes of a useless world and the memory of all the useless people who polluted it. ♄ 🪐 linktr.ee/arthurnewhook 🪐 #Saturn 🪐

Facebook’s clunkiness has to be purposeful at this point. The platform hath barely been updated since c. 2016, and not at all since 2020. It is maddening to navigate, back and forth between my pages, even to load posts. Apparently, Facebook’s plan is to die out with ‘the Boomers’. facebook.com/Sunking278 facebook.com/FloydEtcetera linktr.ee/arthurnewhook 🪐 #Saturn 🪐

Trump has issued an executive order demanding that no other college football games be staged head-to-head with the annual Army–Navy match-up. I believe most American football fans respect the Army–Navy tradition, whether they actually watch it or not. I typically do, and it is a fine American pastime well worth preserving, by all means. What I do not think is that we require an EO — nor am I at all certain how such a thing would even be enforced were any party inclined to defy it — in order to safeguard that tradition. The measure of performative patriotism he may indulge in is the measure the American people will permit, and their tolerance for it is boundless, timeless, and ultimately greater than the man himself. {AP 20 March} espn.com/college-footba… linktr.ee/arthurnewhook 🪐 #SaturnsDay 🪐

A paper doll set featuring the silver-screen goddess Bette Davis, circa 1942: not just about fashion, but about devotion. Somewhere, a girl once sat with scissors, building her own version of Hollywood. Follow on IG: brokendollsfallenangels. linktr.ee/arthurnewhook 🪐 #SaturnsDay 🪐

A major star of the silent film era who endured, to a greater degree than most, in the industry for at least two decades after the advent of sound: Betty Compson, 19 March 1897 to 18 April 1974. {photo: Alfred Cheney Johnston, c. 1928; colourised}

Major League Baseball is exploring the idea of a mid-season tournament. From the article, I cannot tell whether they mean moving the World Baseball Classic to the summer, or creating some other tournament altogether; and it doesn’t seem they know, either. If we are talking about something akin to the NBA Cup, that would be the most bloody pointless thing imaginable. Do not fix what is not broken. {ESPN 19 March} espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…

The beautiful and spirited Mary Tudor, 18 March 1496 to 25 June 1533. The daughter of Henry VII, sister of Henry VIII, and briefly Queen of France as the wife of the ill-fated Louis XII. She herself would succumb to multiple illnesses, aged 37. Follow on IG: brokendollsfallenangels linktr.ee/arthurnewhook

And that’s all she wrote: Venezuela defeats the United States, 3-2, to win the World Baseball Classic. They earned it.
