I saw she had the new PM come to her, and she was ordered to rest. Is she stepping down or does it look like she might pass? ETA: NM, the tweet didn’t show for me on the original post. The Queen meets with all new PMs so it wasn’t anything relating to the Queen specifically but happy to make a new Spitgate out of Liz Truss Oh I thought it was more about the queen not being able to meet the new PM somewhere else and her needing to come to the queen. I don’t really royal other than watching the Crown! Lol

She had a long life. I hope she passes peacefully with her family present. It feels strange to watch this big change that hasn’t happened in 70 years.

BBC has changed their website to a black header and are changing their news readers into black suits. 😳

Well it's certainly the end of an era. It'll be interesting to see what happens to the monarchy without her; it feels like she was the glue holding that tenuous institution together. Although perhaps that's my own bias talking. Plus it'll be pretty strange to have a king in the UK instead.

Today is Ruby Bridges' 68th birthday: She's younger than my dad and only 5 years older than my mom. I didn't learn much about Ruby growing up, and I didn't hear what it was like for her until recently. I think I may have listened to a podcast about what it was like for her, and it made me so emotional. I can't imagine what it was like for her or her parents, and how scary it must have been. It was too much to put on anyone, let alone a child.

On a flight about to take off and a gentleman a few rows back just loudly announced to those around him that he got divorced this morning. Say a prayer for me.
