  1. #MissKittyPolitics What is radical about #human #rights? Do you believe that everybody should have a home no matter what, no matter what? #MissKitty is beyond certain that is the #truth. That is VERY FIRST. I am going to give my projections on the #virtuous #cycle occurring upon end of #homelessnes.

    Sophia’s Route: Part III

    [Continued from Sophia’s Route: Part II]

    “You look hot,” Sophie said after Gerald disappeared. “Let’s get something to drink.”

    “And food. I haven’t eaten anything. Kevin will be so proud of me.” Katarina eyed the mountains of meat. With Sophia there, Kevin couldn’t say she had disobeyed him.

    “Refreshments first,” Sophia replied, knowing exactly what Katarina was thinking and what Kevin was worried about. “I don’t want you to collapse from the heat. While we refresh ourselves, I can tell you about what I have been reading. It’s such a romantic bad-boy book.”

    As they walked toward the punch bowl, Sophia began. “There’s a scene in it that is just like this moment. The hero, Prince Alexandros, leads his love interest, the #virtuous Katherine, to a bowl of punch, just like this one, complete with an ice swan. Isn’t it lovely?”

    Katarina admired the sculpture. “Then what happens?”

    “He gets them both a drink in #Champagne flutes just like these. They intertwine their arms and sip from each other’s glasses. Want me to show you how? It’s a divine scene.”

    Katarina nodded and took the glass that Sophia offered her.

    “Cross your arms like this. Good. Now sip. Kampai!”

    The position was embarrassing, but the drink was sublime. Its gentle sweetness embraced her mouth, and the bubbles tickled her nose. Looking over the flute's edge she noticed it had lovely multi-colored sugar rimming it, and Sophia’s face, which had turned a cute shade of pink. She made a silent toast: “I’m glad I have friends like this. Sophia’s the best.”

    “You liked that,” Katarina said.

    “Yeah,” Sophia replied, turning even redder.

    “It was so nice, and I love the bubbles.”

    “I could tell. You drank that fast,” Sophia said. “Let me get you another.”

    The second glass followed the first while Sophia sipped slowly on hers.

    “It’s so good!” Katarina said getting a third.

    “You should sip that,” Sophia warned, but it was too late; that glass disappeared too.

    “Sophia, the room’s dancing.” Katarina spun spilling some of the #Champagne cocktail.

    That’s what happened in the book, too. The girl wasn’t used to alcohol and started acting silly. The bad-boy prince swept her off her feet and whisked her out of the ball to unknown places. She left her selfish fiancé fuming and her frantic friends behind.

    “That’s so… romantic.”

    “Shall we?” Sophia asked. “I could be a bad-girl. I’ve read lots of books with bad-boys and know what to do.”

    “Let’s,” Katarina said as Sophia led her away.

    The barbarian huffed. "That #virtuous expression always makes me suspicious."

    "But—"

    "Not just me. Everyone else would feel the same."

  29. First beer of my Friday night was the wonderful #virtuous by @kirkstallbrew

    Sharp and refreshing. Definitely my go-to pint after a hard week at work.

    The #RobinHood at #Pontefract is the perfect bolt-hole!

  30. My first beer on this #fundayfriday is my most favouritist of favourite beers, the wonderful #virtuous from @kirkstallbrew

    So, so refreshing and moorish.

    Far, better than the stuff that claims to oil your neck.

    #ipa #beer

    Poured with care at the #RobinHood in #Pontefract

  31. How a Huguenot Philosopher Realized That #Atheists Could Be #Virtuous

    Christians long held a monopoly on virtue—until Pierre Bayle made the case for moral atheists

    by Michael W. Hickson

    Bayle: "It is no stranger for an atheist to live virtuously than it is strange for a Christian to live criminally. We see the latter sort of monster all the time, so why should we think the former is impossible?"

  36. A quotation from Virgil:

    «««««
    Here are troops of men
    who had suffered wounds, fighting to save their country,
    and those who had been pure priests while still alive,
    and the faithful poets whose songs were fit for Phoebus;
    those who enriched our lives with the newfound arts they forged
    and those we remember well for the good they did mankind.…

  37. CW: Carpetbaggers rant 1

    Normally politics just rolls over me. My daddy taught me to vote for the one that might at least use lube, and I have stuck to that. However as a gentleman of the rural south I have to speak out… I am sick and tired of #carpetbaggers.

    My feed is full of #lecturing #ninnies telling me that the apocalypse is nigh if us #ignorant bumpkins don’t vote exactly like the #virtuous tell them to… Y’all, go away. You don’t live here. You ain’t from here.
