So here's what I wish for us:
* we give books as holiday gifts
* we get them from our local indie bookstores
* we spend time reading with the people and pets we love
* when we feel the call, we write
* we get enough sun, nutrients, movement, and sleep
* we bloom again in springtime & kick ass. 11/11

Indeed, especially as it's based on the life of Alexander Dumas' Haitian father Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, who rose through the ranks of France's army only to be betrayed by Napoleon.
I was just watching this reaction to 2002's The Count of Monte Cristo and I know I'm not the first to say this, and as someone who hasn't read the book, but the MC is absolutely supposed to be a Black man.

Today’s highlight is a Roman incense burner inspired by a mysterious find at Coventina’s Well. Carefully hand-built in tile clay, it once carried fragrant smoke to the sacred waters of a Romano-British shrine.
