J: I've been reading Frank's book.

C: What does it say?

J: War is coming to the backcountry,

and that James Fraser dies in it.

“…the lusting I suppose you’d call it…that was…too close to what I feel sometimes for you, and it…well, it doesna seem right to me. I always thought it would be a simple matter to lie with a woman. And yet…I want to fall on my face at your feet and worship you- and still I want to force ye to your knees before me, and hold ye there wi’ my hands tangled in your hair and your mouth at my service…and I want both things at the same time, Sassenach. …I want to hold you like a kitten in my shirt, mo nighean donn, and I still want to spread your thighs and plow you like a rutting bull. I dinna understand myself!”

- Jamie to Claire, Dragonfly in Amber p. 310-311

Good US news because I think we all could use some of it:

The Marines are to be withdrawn from LA. The extreme escalation many of us feared did not happen thanks to the people of LA and the soldiers themselves who said "no".

The "Good Trouble Lives On" protests may not have been as big as the previous "Hands Off" and "No Kings" protests (likely due to heat + being planned on a weekday), but still 1.6k protests were held across the USA with thousands joining in with the peaceful protest.

The Trump administration has been ordered to restore $6.2 million in grant funding to nine LGBTQ+ and HIV-related nonprofits. This is fantastic.

Pittsburgh City Council has passed bills to protect its LGBTQ+ citizens.

California has stepped up to partner with and support The Trevor Project. Let's go, Cali!

Another win for California: Reports show that California is powered by two-thirds clean energy. This is a historic first and it keeps getting better!

The ACLU of Louisiana has secured the release of two wrongfully detained Iranian LSU students.

The Republican governor of New Hampshire has defied her party and shot down a book banning bill.

Shareholders have pushed back on corporations' anti-DEI proposals, forcing companies to face the fact that diversity is good for business... And reminds us that the majority does not agree with the removal of DEI, no matter what MAGA wants us to believe.

Since November, 69 of the 110 Supreme Court lawyers tasked with defending the Trump admin's policies have quit.

Don't let anyone tell you that there isn't hope, that there aren't people fighting and working and just as scared and angry as you are. You are not alone. Peaceful protests, contacting reps, and simple non-cooperation is how we sustainably and successfully push back against authoritarianism.

"We're cooked" is the devil talking. Giving up, rolling over, and perpetuating the idea that we've already failed is exactly what MAGA wants. Don't give them the satisfaction. Don't make it easy. Continue to look after each other and support your communities where you can. Keep protesting, keep calling, keep writing, keep loving. The heart is a muscle the size of your fist; we can get through this as long as we continue to stand up and say "no".

‘Outlander’: Sam Heughan, Richard Rankin & Sophie Skelton Dazzle in Our SDCC Portrait Studio (PHOTOS)

Outlander has taken over San Diego Comic-Con, and TV Insider and TV Guide Magazine’s video and portrait studio as the cast of Starz’s hit romantic fantasy series dropped by for a photo shoot.

On hand for the exciting celebration was leading man Sam Heughan, who will wrap his role as Jamie Fraser onscreen in early 2026 when the eighth and final season of the series is set to arrive. He was joined by his onscreen daughter Sophie Skelton and son-in-law Richard Rankin, who play Brianna and Roger in the show based on Diana Gabaldon‘s books.

While it’s not the final farewell, their SDCC appearance certainly marks the beginning of the end for the series’ press run. Still, the trio was eager to tease Season 8, offering words like “nostalgic” and “heartbreaking” to describe what’s in store for fans. And while this might mark the start of Outlander‘s goodbye to fans, it also opens to the door for an introduction into the forthcoming prequel series Outlander: Blood of My Blood, which will track the romances of Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie’s parents, Julia (Hermione Corfield) and Henry (Jeremy Irvine), and Brian (Jamie Roy) and Ellen (Harriet Slater).

For those less familiar with the supremely popular series, Outlander chronicles the love story between World War II combat nurse Claire and 18th-century Highlander warrior Jamie. Brought together by the magic of time travel, the clock is ticking on their story as we approach 2026, but these gorgeous portraits captured in our studio will last a lifetime.

Scroll down for a closer look at the stars and stay tuned for more photos from the newcomers of Blood of My Blood.

A new chapter of Three is up! Well, the first part of it, anyway. The chapter was so long, and some RL stuff this weekend made it impossible to finish the whole thing in time for the weekend update I had promised you. I hope to post part two very soon though!

Oh, and beware: Lots and lots of Frank in this one.

Read it here.
