yo hearing the queen talk about her WWII broadcast and then be all ‘we WILL succeed’ was weirdly powerful https://twitter.com/nikaharper/status/1247037254343639042

- quiet, good-humored resolve
-fellow feeling)

I find inspiration in other American values plenty. I can admire another culture, it’ll be ok. Don’t be insecure now, America, it’s not a good look.)
