It happens only days after Vash joins the agency. And that— that should've been the red flag.

When it happens again in a week– that should've been a black flag.

But Nick doesn't see it. He sees nothing. Vash is gold & beautiful like the sun. And Nick is okay with being blinded.
#plantcest #KV #vashwood #WV - 𝗡𝗦𝗙𝗪-𝗶𝘀𝗵.
It doesn't take long. Falling in love with Vash - it takes next to no time.

In hindsight, that in itself should've struck him as odd. The 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 of it. The 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 of it.

Nick's never had any kind of luck with love. Yet Vash falls on his face while introducing

Child Marriage & Faith: While #wv law has NO minimum age for marriage, resulting in kids as young as 14 being married recently, #ChildMarriage is banned by many religious communities.

Result? Civil WV marriages that won’t be recognized by church. 🧵
Here are just a few faiths that already ban marriage below either 16 or 18 years old:

Roman Catholic Church
Mormon Church (LDS)
United Methodist
Many other faiths or leaders in church will strongly discourage or counsel against marriage before 18. Some will use their discretion to refuse to perform marriages they believe are against church morals.

There is a moment in Season 4, Episode 8 of #TheCrown that explains the #VotingRights impasse. 1/ #MLKDay
In this e8, The Queen want to unite the Commonwealth to oppose Apartheid, but she must get the one holdout to sign on first—Margaret Thatcher. Thatcher won’t budge. 2/ #VotingRightsAct #thecrown
Round after round the Queen’s men bring her edited versions of the coalition’s statement. Each time she whips out her red pen sniping, “No. No. No.” 3/

Now that #Oklahoma and #Texas have officially withdrawn from the #Big12-2-2-2, several academic institutions in the league have started the process of backchanneling (while of course remaining committed to the Big12-2-2-2) for a new home.
Not wanting my own beloved college cast aside to a G5 league that is more aligned with our aspirations and history, I’ve taken it upon myself to produce a similar piece, so that another elite league may choose to add us and carry us on their financial shoulders.
I of course, am speaking of University of #West #Virginia. There are several things that set #WVU apart from your average D1 entity. These unique qualities define us, and should give us immediate consideration for our admission into either the #ACC, #BIG16, #PACnumber, or #SEC.

I’ve spent the last two days touring West Virginia with my friend, @Sen_JoeManchin, and I’ve been bowled over by the potential this state is teeming with. There’s no question, West Virginians understand the epic challenge ahead. But they can see the opportunity, too. 1/ ImageImageImageImage
I can see the Mountain State's resolve to seize this opportunity, and their eagerness to lead the country’s clean energy industries.

That's why I’m very pleased to announce awards that will foster #WV's contributions to the clean energy economy. energy.gov/articles/doe-a… 2/
First, we are awarding $1 million to the US Research Alliance’s IMPACT Accelerator here in Morgantown through our EPIC program—which stands for Energy Program for Innovation Clusters. energy.gov/articles/doe-a… 3/

I have a lot of #Muslim friends who are fearful about being in America.

This is why.

@CAIRNational
They experience it in verbal assaults, physical attacks, & outrageous & disgusting religious comments about their faith.

They hear it in sermons like these given about Islam.

They see it in the stares they get at the grocery store.

They read it on posts throughout Facebook.

We Jews have been here before in this country.

But they will not stand alone now.

We will help them get through this time of hate and Islamophobia.

Together.
