@ZandiSussex @sultmiz Nice!
She is all of those things. And you are an awesome ambassador.

Dear derangers, haters and weirdos,
Accusing me of being Meghan is a compliment, not an insult. She’s stunning, intelligent, kind, strong, elegant, resilient, fearless and iconic.
Please continue. 😍

@TheCinesthetic Bourne Ultimatum is my number one, and it’s not close.

@TheCinesthetic Not just visual. The music and sound were as bold as the scenery and costumes. It was a sensory cacophony of brilliant in your face explosions.
Love that movie.

The Fifth Element (1997) is one of the rare sci-fi films where design becomes personality. Gaultier’s costumes, the color, the way every background detail feels intentional. It’s a fully lived-in universe with its own rhythm, humor, and visual language.

@DougWahl1 @jawofsteel2014 American journalism is bought and paid for by the one percent.
English
Who is ashamed that it took a journalism outfit from the other side of the Atlantic to break the insider trading story?
Is American journalism dead?
Your Thoughts?

@ZandiSussex @Qiyyah18 You doing what you do to bring positive awareness is exactly right. I looved your Aussie posts. Receipts work, but people should not do the link to the article/post. Soo many millions paying people for writing garbage. H and M both keep saying don’t forward it. Post joy.

A lightbulb moment for me during Harry & Meghan’s visit to Australia was listening to Meghan speak about being bullied every day for 10 years and her stating that it will never stop because abusing her is a multi-billion dollar business. This literally brought tears to my eyes. And then it made me angry!😡
What this means is we too have to be clear that this abuse of Meghan will never stop, and we need to plan for the long haul. We can’t rely on traditional media to tell the truth. That’s on us now. So we have to become journalists, commentators and reporters ourselves because we’re the only people who will tell the truth.
Whether it’s a blog, Substack, YouTube, this platform or something else, we each have a role to play not just in pushing back, but in proactively getting the truth out there.
Being a Sussex supporter is not for the faint-hearted. We’re up against a hate machine that is relentless and well financed (and we know by whom). But we’re made of sterner stuff and we can do this.
The mission continues!✊

@MFWitches @justheragain And they spent almost ten years doing everything they could to imprison or worse Hunter Biden. Had it not been for the preemptive pardon because of the bogus investigations they’d have just convicted him falsely. Trump kids are actually what they tried to claim Hunter was

How the fuck do we live on a planet where Martha Stewart spent 5 months in jail for a dodgy $45,000 stock market deal but Trump and his sons make billions and billions using blatant manipulation via their genocidal war and not one US Democrat or large media org is saying jack shit?

@Mikeedakid1 This pic without M and H is stiff and frankly boring. This pic with M and H in it would have been released globally instantly. With millions of impressions.
You can’t be worried about being upstaged when you don’t bother to be on the stage except an occasional sports final.

Origins of Purple Rain,
Purple Rain' was originally written as a country song, and was intended to be a collaboration with Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks.
According to Nicks, she received a 10-minute instrumental version of the song from Prince, with a request to write the lyrics, but she felt overwhelmed by the task.
She later said: "I listened to it and I just got scared. I called him back and said, 'I can't do it. I wish I could. It's too much for me.'"
Prince then asked his backing band to try the song: "I want to try something before we go home. It's mellow."
According to Lisa Coleman, Prince changed the song dramatically after Wendy Melvoin started playing the guitar to accompany the song: "He was excited to hear it voiced differently. It took it out of that country feeling.
"Then we all started playing it a bit harder and taking it more seriously. We played it for six hours straight and by the end of that day we had it mostly written and arranged."
Prince's explanation on the meaning of 'Purple Rain':
"When there's blood in the sky – red and blue = purple... purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/god guide you through the purple rain."
After recording the song, Prince phoned Journey member Jonathan Cain, to ask him to listen to it.
Prince was concerned that it might be too similar to Journey's 'Faithfully', a song composed by Cain which had recently been in the US charts.
However, Cain reassured Prince by saying that the songs only shared the same four chords.
"I thought it was an amazing tune," Cain said. "I told him, 'Man, I'm just super-flattered that you even called. It shows you're that classy of a guy. Good luck with the song. I know it's gonna be a hit.'"
Ladies and gentlemen,
Prince performing a special and an absolute classic song, Purple Rain, live at Paisley Park, in 1999.

Donald Trump is bringing Eric Trump and his wife on a state visit to China next month.
They're doing EXACTLY what Republicans accused Hunter Biden of. The hypocrisy is astounding.

Ten thousand children were sentenced to die in concentration camps during World War II, and the world looked away.
But one ordinary woman walked straight into the mouth of hell and started pulling them out — one by one.
Her name was Diana Budisavljević.
She was an Austrian woman married to a Serbian doctor living in Zagreb, in the Independent State of Croatia — a Nazi puppet regime responsible for some of the most horrific atrocities of the war. While the Ustaše regime systematically murdered Serbs, Jews, and Roma, thousands of innocent children were torn from their parents and left to die in places like Jasenovac and Stara Gradiška from starvation, disease, beatings, and execution.
Most people stayed silent, paralyzed by fear.
Diana Budisavljević could not.
She refused to accept that these children were a lost cause. Without an army, without political power, and without permission, she launched what she simply called “The Action.”
She gathered a small group of trusted volunteers and began a dangerous, high-stakes operation. They begged, borrowed, and scraped together every bit of food and medicine they could find. Using her Austrian background and social connections, Diana navigated the deadly bureaucracy of a genocidal regime. She bribed guards, badgered officials, and forged documents to smuggle children out of the camps.
When she finally gained access inside, the horror was almost unbearable. She saw rooms filled with skeletal toddlers, their eyes hollow, their tiny bodies wasting away. “We must take them all,” she insisted. “Every single one we can carry.”
She didn’t just save their bodies. She fought to save their identities. Diana kept meticulous records — over 12,000 detailed cards with each child’s name, origin, and any information that might help reunite them with surviving family members after the war.
She worked in constant danger, knowing that discovery could mean her own death or the execution of the children she was trying to rescue.
When the war finally ended, the tragedy did not.
The new communist government in Yugoslavia had no interest in a story that highlighted ethnic suffering or the heroism of a woman with “bourgeois” Austrian connections. They confiscated her files, suppressed her story, and forced her into silence.
Diana Budisavljević lived the rest of her life in complete obscurity. She died in 1978 without ever receiving public recognition or thanks for what she had done.
It took decades for the truth to surface. Historians eventually discovered her hidden diaries, and the children she saved — now grandparents — began to speak.
The numbers are staggering: of the roughly 12,000 children who passed through her rescue network, more than 10,000 survived the war because of her intervention.
In a conflict that claimed millions of lives, Diana Budisavljević stands as one of the greatest individual rescuers in human history.
While others claimed they were powerless, she showed that what seems impossible is often just fear wearing a disguise.
She worked quietly, risked everything, and died unknown to most of the world. But she found peace in knowing that ten thousand human beings lived — grew up, fell in love, had families — because one woman refused to look away.
Even when political regimes try to bury the truth for decades, the impact of saving a life cannot be erased.
Today, we have a duty to remember Diana Budisavljević.
Not just because she saved ten thousand children.
But because her story proves that in the darkest night, one determined person can still carry the light.
She didn’t have superpowers. She didn’t have an army. She simply had the courage to act when everyone else stayed silent.
And because she did, ten thousand children got to see freedom.
Her name deserves to be spoken.
Her courage deserves to be honored.
And her example deserves to be followed.
