People keep telling me that marriage no longer has value now women are no longer “their husbands' property/slaves.” Unfortunately for them this is technically incorrect (the worst kind of incorrect) and hasn't been correct since the Middle Ages. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 saydescarlett.substack.com/p/wives-have...

Well I never... a rainbow appeared before sunrise, created just by the light of an orange and red glow in the east. There's a first time for everything. I've certainly never see such a thing before.
