It wasn't going anywhere, the mountain.

No matter what you said to it, no matter what names you called it, what slurs you cast upon it, it did not bow down, droop its head, slink away, acquiesce in your opinion.

It just remained: strong, determined, immovable.

This is the third portrait from my new series: Emily - Portraits of Hope
A journey from guarded to open, from shadow to hope. This portraits title is Strength and I love how this collodion negative reveals all these details.
I strongly recommend to watch the video or read my blog article to understand the full story about the strength people show who live in countries that are facing war.

5/3 part 0

Are you the project manager for time? I asked.

“You be RIGHT there, lass,” said the small, round fellow with clock-face eyes. He looked like a gnome-gremlin crossbreed. “How can I be helping?”

“I’d like to make a small change to the spec.”

“RIGHT… Don’t have time for yer nonsense, lad. Good day.”

“Have time for a drink with me, Jack Daniels?”

“Black label, the good stuff. — Don’t mind if I do. Just a wee sip.”

Definitely some leprechaun too, I thought.

“A weeee changy pooh here, and weeeee” — the dials in his eyes spun madly — “weeee change thereee.

Part 29: Episode 2: 1937: The Hindenburg Part O

9. Saturday excerpt (optional word: strong)

We decided to approach Miss Pang the next day after she’d had a few drinks. We hoped her irritation with me would have eased by then. I would start by approaching and apologizing. The lounge had its risks; she might protest loudly, or the rabbits might choose that moment to check on her. Emily would keep watch for them unless I signaled I needed help.

With the plan set, we needed an empty spot to test our abilities.

“Mademoiselle Bijou, if you please.” The steward caught us at the lounge door and held out a slip for my signature. “Just sign, and it will be charged to your account.”

I scribbled something illegible and noted the room number: 14. The world appeared to adapt to my presence. I had worried a steward might arrest me as a stowaway. Instead, I had a cabin registered in my name. It was handy how reality bent politely to accommodate me.

Thoughtfully, I added a small cash tip, three or four Reichsmarks I had found in my pocket.

The steward quietly hid them and then asked, “And before you go, is there anything I can tell the chef you would like for breakfast? Continental is standard, but if you would like something special, I will try to arrange it.”

, yogurt, and coffee would be fine,” I replied, only then seeing Emily shaking her head and making a cutoff motion with her hand. I wondered what I had done wrong. Time travel was turning out to be complicated.

“I don’t believe we have yogurt; would clotted cream do, Mademoiselle?” His tone was respectful, tinged with regret, and perhaps a little stiff.

Even so, I had clearly messed up. Emily’s alarm was so that it was amazing the steward didn’t feel it too. He, however, had maintained a calm, unruffled look. A few Reichsmarks seemed to have smoothed over any weirdness on my part.

Emily, realizing she could speak, instructed, “Order cocoa, a croissant, and coffee with a plate of fruit. That’s very French. And if you must tip, be discreet about it.”

I did so and departed. Emily’s scowl told me I was in for a scolding.

Europe needs a surge in defence.

We must prepare and respond to the threats we face today.

At the Informal EU leaders' retreat yesterday, we agreed we must work together as Europeans to prepare and respond by:

🛡️ urgently increasing defence spending,
🤝 strengthening coordination in defence,
✂️ simplifying our legislation,
💡 fostering defence innovation.

We will present a White Paper in March, for necessary decisions in June.

@EUCommission The surge in defence is a necessity for a long time

It is good to see taking steps here. The different approaches among member states are not a source of paralysis anymore, finally.

Our democracy, our social system, our values and our freedoms should never be threatened by dictators or oligarchs.

Only we can defend them. It's not too late, but it is the last call!

"Americans love a strong leader. Donald Trump scores high with many voters precisely because he acts like a despotic strongman, seemingly unrestrained by rules, laws, international agreements, or even social conventions. By contrast, Joe Biden is a competent and cool executive, leading an administration that adheres to established norms, operates by consultation, and follows the data-driven advice of experts." But what does it mean that Biden is now showing a tougher side? Jay Kuo digs into this question in last week's piece from The Big Picture. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/biden-tough-israel-russia-border
