Those of us who live (and vote) in Colorado, consider it a badge of honor that he does not like what we do.

Eye-opening moment for me when I was in grad school was that I could even email the lauded historians who wrote the books I was using for my research and that they would enthusiastically respond to me with a ton of resources I never would have found on my own. 🗃️

The Ghost of Christmas Present rose. “Spirit, conduct me where you will. I went forth last night on compulsion, and I learnt a lesson which is working now. To-night, if you have aught to teach me, let me profit by it."

"Come in!" exclaimed the Ghost. "Come in, and know me better, man."  #AChristmasCarol  #CharlesDickens

In easy state upon this couch, there sat a jolly Giant, glorious to see:, who bore a glowing torch, in shape not unlike Plenty's horn, and held it up, high up, to shed its light on Scrooge, as he came peeping round the door.

The moment Scrooge's hand was on the lock, a strange voice called him by his name, and bade him enter. He obeyed. It was his own room. There was no doubt about that. But it had undergone a surprising transformation.  #AChristmasCarol  #CharlesDickens

“Leave me! Take me back. Haunt me no longer!"

"Remove me!" Scrooge exclaimed, "I cannot bear it!  He turned upon the Ghost, and seeing that it looked upon him with a face, in which in some strange way there were fragments of all the faces it had shown him, wrestled with it. #AChristmasCarol  #CharlesDickens

He sprang round, and I could see in the gas-light that every vestige of colour had been driven from his face. “Who are you, then? What do you want?” he asked in a quavering voice. #SherlockHolmes #ArthurConanDoyle #TheAdventureOfTheBlueCarbuncle

"Spirit!" said Scrooge in a broken voice, "remove me from this place."  "I told you these were shadows of the things that have been." "That they are what they are, do not blame me!"  #AChristmasCarol  #CharlesDickens

"Spirit!" said Scrooge, "show me no more! Conduct me home. Why do you delight to torture me?"  "One shadow more!" exclaimed the Ghost. "No more!" cried Scrooge! "No more, I don't wish to see it! Show me no more!”

"You fear the world too much. All your other hopes have merged into the hope of being beyond the chance of its sordid reproach. I have seen your nobler aspirations fall off one by one, until the master-passion, Gain, engrosses you. Have I not?"  #AChristmasCarol  #CharlesDickens

"This is the even-handed dealing of the world!" he said. "There is nothing on which it is so hard as poverty and there is nothing it professes to condemn with such severity as the pursuit of wealth!”  #AChristmasCarol  #CharlesDickens

He was not alone, but sat by the side of a fair young girl in a mourning-dress: in whose eyes there were tears, which sparkled in the light that shone out of the Ghost of Christmas Past. #AChristmasCarol  #CharlesDickens

It opened and a little girl, much younger than the boy, came darting in, and putting her arms about his neck, and often kissing him, "Dear, dear brother. I have come to bring you home, dear brother! To bring you home, home, home!" #AChristmasCarol  #CharlesDickens

It was raining when he left Sally Worth’s house. Holmes hardly noticed. He was sifting through the data in his mind as he walked down the street. Thus far every question he had asked had eliminated possibilities. There seemed to be little left, which suggested he was missing something. 1/

“Now I am going to look around outside.” “Do you think there might be a clue outside?” “There might be one or more if the police and the press have not trampled them all.” Sherlock Holmes greeted the bobby who had allowed him to pass and began his examination of the ground from the front step 1/

It was a blustery day in London on the last day of May. The barometer was dropping, but Sherlock Holmes’ temper was up. He was pacing floor of the sitting room in Montague Street. “Sit down, Sherlock,” Mycroft said without looking up The Times. “You are making me dizzy.” He sat down. “How could 1/

“You recollect the way?" inquired the Spirit.  "Remember it!" cried Scrooge with fervour -- "I could walk it blindfold." "Strange to have forgotten it for so many years," observed the Ghost. "Let us go on.” #AChristmasCarol  #CharlesDickens

It was a strange figure — like a child: yet not so like a child as like an old man, viewed through some supernatural medium, which gave him the appearance of having receded from the view, and being diminished to a child's proportions. #AChristmasCarol  #CharlesDickens

The curtains of his bed were drawn aside; and Scrooge, starting up into a half-recumbent attitude, found himself face to face with the unearthly visitor who drew them: as close to it as I am now to you, and I am standing in the spirit at your elbow. #AChristmasCarol  #CharlesDickens

He spoke before the hour bell sounded, which it now did with a deep, dull, hollow, melancholy One. Light flashed up in the room upon the instant, and the curtains of his bed were drawn.

Hello! Could y'all stop importing the hot takes of idiots from other social media? If we wanted to read that 💩 we'd be over there. Also if you want to talk about the idiot-in-chief or his minions, you don't need to include their picture. I hide all posts with their mugs without reading them.

Every one of them wore chains like Marley's Ghost; some few (they might be guilty governments) were linked together; none were free.   #AChristmasCarol  #CharlesDickens

Scrooge followed to the window: desperate in his curiosity.  He looked out. The air was filled with phantoms, wandering hither and thither in restless haste, and moaning as they went.   #AChristmasCarol  #CharlesDickens
