But could I be heard by this great nation, I would call to mind the sublime and glorious truths with which, at its birth, it saluted a listening world. Its voice then, was as the trump of an archangel, summoning hoary forms of oppression and time honored tyranny, to judgement. Crowned heads heard it and shrieked. Toiling millions heard it and clapped their hands for joy. It announced the advent of a nation, based upon human brotherhood and the self-evident truths of liberty and equality. Its mission was the redemption of the world from the bondage of ages. Apply these sublime and glorious truths to the situation now before you. Put away your race prejudice. Banish the idea that one class must rule over another. Recognize the fact that the rights of the humblest citizen are as worthy of protection as are those of the highest, and your problem will be solved; and, whatever may be in store for it in the future, whether prosperity, or adversity; whether it shall have foes without, or foes within, whether there shall be peace, or war; based upon the eternal principles of truth, justice and humanity, and with no class having any cause of complaint or grievance, your Republic will stand and flourish forever.

Different flavor profile, but similar idea — gotta get all of the goodness out of that turkey ☺️! (We do a turmeric-paprika-cumin-cinnamon rub with orange, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and bay leaf in the cavity. Such a good base for soup.). Yours looks delicious!

Ugh, sadness. Really hoping for Tran to pull through, at least, in this crazy world of ours.

Anti-suffragist postcards are a delight to this genre. Example:

« I want to vote but my wife won’t let me » Anti-suffrage postcard, 1909

Dodger Island sounds like a Dickens novel, no?
