I look at this picture and DR’s expression of calm, beatific focus, and it’s hard not to believe everything’s going to be ok. This will obviously not be my position for long.

This is glorious. So many humdinger quotable. I choose this one: “Oh, how we wish they’d come and give us a go, so we could play them off the park, but they won’t, because that is not how you beat Arsenal; you beat Arsenal on your knees, with your hands clasped tight in a desperate prayer.”

Two consecutive Bluesky posts with structurally similar photos. The first, from Ukraine, has someone kneeling in front of a red flag, the second is an illustration showing a child in the same position reaching up to receive a red heart.
