The Gilded Age: a tale of to-day, volume two | Mark Twain

Season three, over?
Say it isn‘t so! Rehab time —
withdrawals imminent.

Well somehow, season 3 of The Gilded Age is over. It was so good! Now we gotta wait 2 years for season 4. 😭

Wednesday? Drat! It should
be Sunday! Railroad Daddy
is calling my name.

I‘m finally all caught up on The Gilded Age & am currently having withdrawals. Sunday can‘t get here fast enough!! 😋😍

Jari-chan Oh, it's Wednesday? I thought it was Thursday already 🙈😅 thanks for the reminder 🤣 1mo

CBee @Jari-chan you sound like me 😂😂 I had a little chat in my head earlier about what day it is today 😂🤪 1mo

lil1inblue I really need to catch up, too! I need some #railroaddaddy time! 😍 😋 1mo

JenlovesJT47 @Jari-chan @CBee 😅 all the days run together! Can‘t believe it‘s only Wednesday! 😵‍💫 1mo

JenlovesJT47 @lil1inblue the last few episodes have been some high stakes drama! So good, I‘m addicted ♥️🤗 1mo

dabbe Your words remind me how much I love reading books about and during this error. Edith Wharton is my fave. 🩶🖤🩶 1mo

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe I have never read any of Edith Wharton‘s books although I have a bunch of them. Which one would you recommend reading first? 1mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Without a doubt, THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. The #hashtagbrigade is reading this next month, if you're interested. I'm happily rereading it because it's in my top 5 of all time. We only read a chapter a day. Here's the link for more info: https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2885440

P.S. The Martin Scorcese movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder is exquisite as well. 🩵💙🩵 1mo

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe ooh yay, I can do a chapter a day! I‘ve been stressing about being behind on all of the buddy reads but that‘s doable. I‘ve already got the book. Thank you! 🤗 1mo

PSA: if you like period pieces and you haven‘t seen it yet, you MUST watch The Gilded Age on HBO. The costumes are fabulous & the cast is excellent. Mr. George Russell here (Morgan Spector) has been dubbed Railroad Daddy by the fans & it is very fitting!! 🥵😏😆 Lort, that man. 🥵🥵🥵😋

The union may call him
Robber Barron — but we call
him Railroad Daddy. 😉

AnnCrystal Just went and read about this show, looks like a catching soap opera 👏🏼🐝👌🏼🎬🐝💝. 1mo

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal it‘s addictive! Season 3 just came out so I‘m doing a rewatch and loving it even more the second time around! ♥️ 1mo

AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 that show does look addictive worthy. You mentioned that you live in New York?? It must be wild to see any historical movie based in your city. I know I love it when Los Angeles is featured ☺️👌🏼🎬💝. 1mo

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal I live in central Florida, close to Disney. I did post yesterday about NYC but I‘ve never been there — although I feel like I‘ve been there a thousand times in books and movies ☺️ I would LOVE to see a historical show set in this area. The closest I‘ve got is Dexter & The Golden Girls 😁 And L.A. is a great city! I lived about an hour away from LAX for 2 years in college. Got to see a couple of Dodgers games. Cali is beautiful. ♥️ 1mo

AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 🆒 movies and books allows is to venture anywhere ☺️👌🏼💝💝💝. 1mo

Amiable @JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal The Gilded Age is so good! I‘m also a fan. Did you know that large parts of it are filmed at the mansions in Newport, RI? 1mo

JenlovesJT47 @Amiable the scenery is stunning and the costumes are 🤌🏻. Mrs. Russell‘s dresses are 😍😍😍 — well, all of them really, but hers are the best! ♥️ 1mo

Amiable @JenlovesJT47 I do love George Russell, too. That man can buy a copper mine from me anytime. 😄 (edited) 1mo

Librarybelle Love this show! 1mo

TheBookHippie I adore that show. And OMG George Russell 🔥🔥🔥 1mo

AmyG Love this show. The costumes, the scenery, the drama! Excellent. 1mo

AnnCrystal @Amiable 🆒🤩 those Newport, RI mansions must be pretty ☺️👌🏼🎬💝. 1mo

Amiable @AnnCrystal Oh, they are gorgeous! Especially when they‘re all decked out for the holidays. 1mo

AnnCrystal @Amiable 🤩 my favorite! I love seeing the holidays celebrated on my favorite shows. I bet seeing those mansions all decked out is a feast for the eyes 🥳📺💖💖💖. 1mo

dabbe A historical haiku! I love this time period, and now I want to read Edith Wharton again. 🖤🐝💛 1mo

lil1inblue Railroad daddy... I hadn't heard that before, but damn it fits! 🔥 🔥 🔥 1mo

julieclair Ooohhhh…. I haven‘t seen The Gilded Age, but I can tell I will love it!!! 😀 A few posts back, you asked about our favorite time periods to live in, and I think the gilded age would be mine. ⭐️ 1mo

JenlovesJT47 @julieclair it‘s so good!! I decided to do a rewatch so I haven‘t watched the two newest episodes yet and I keep dodging spoilers right and left. 😆 it‘s a great show! ♥️♥️♥️ 1mo

A Summer of Hummingbirds: Love, Art, and Scandal in the Intersecting Worlds of Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain , Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Martin Johnson Heade | Christopher Benfey

“My” sweet hummingbird, loves my garden‘s bee balm. I have a perfect view of him from my porch. The hummingbird‘s presence is reminding me of the tagged book which I started long ago. Now I feel a pull to return to it. #porchlife #hummingbird

Tamra I love bee balm! Always makes me think of Dr. Seuss characters. 😂 2mo

TheBookHippie We‘ve had a lot of hummingbirds this year too! Love it. What a cool picture!!! 2mo

Innocents Abroad (1869) | Mark Twain

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one‘s lifetime.”

A Summer of Hummingbirds: Love, Art, and Scandal in the Intersecting Worlds of Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain , Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Martin Johnson Heade | Christopher Benfey

“ I soon discovered that almost all the actors I‘d begun to assemble on my little stage…were fanatical about hummingbirds…my attempts to trace the origins of this informal cult of hummingbirds,kept leading back to the Civil War…American during and after the Civil War gradually left behind a static view of existence…they came to see a new dynamism and movement in their lives…This dynamism… found perfect expression in the hummingbird.”

julieclair This is fascinating! 4mo
