"The feast of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist being appointed as the day upon which the coronation of the king [Edward V] would take place without fail, all both hoped for and expected a season of prosperity for the kingdom."
-Excerpt from the Croyland Continuator / David Horspool, "Richard III: A Ruler and Reputation"
Even though Edward IV’s death was unexpected, after twelve years of peace there need not have been too much of a sense of foreboding about the succession. The great dynastic wound from which the Wars of the Roses had grown had not so much been healed as cauterized by the extinction of the House of Lancaster. There was no rush for London, as had happened in earlier, disputed successions. The royal party didn’t set out from Ludlow for ten days after hearing the news of Edward IV’s death, while Richard took his time, too. And the new king had [his mother the dowager queen and] two uncles to support him: his mother’s brother, the sophisticated, cultured, highly experienced Earl Rivers; and his father’s, the loyal and reliable Duke of Gloucester, to whom Edward IV had entrusted unprecedented power and vital military command.
... [Richard of Gloucester] had achieved his goal by a mixture of luck and ruthlessness, and if he made it appear, or even believed himself, that destiny played a part, this only made him a man in step with his times. Modern historians have no time for destiny, but sometimes the more ‘structuralist’ interpretations of the events surrounding the usurpation can come close to it. When we read that ‘the chances of preserving an unchallenged succession were . . . weakened by the estrangement of many of the rank-and-file nobility from . . . high politics, which was partly a consequence of the Wars of the Roses and partly of Edward IV’s own policies’, it is hard not to conclude that an unforeseeable turn of events is being recast as a predictable one. But without one overriding factor – the actions of Richard, Duke of Gloucester after he took the decision to make himself King Richard III – none of this could have happened. That is, when the same author concedes ‘Nor can we discount Richard’s own forceful character’, he is pitching it rather low*.
Edward IV had not left behind a factional fault line waiting to be shaken apart. Richard of Gloucester’s decision to usurp was a political earthquake that could not have been forecast on 9 April, when Edward died. After all, Simon Stallworth did not even anticipate it on 21 June, the day before Richard went public. We should be wary of allowing hindsight to give us more clairvoyance than the well-informed contemporary who had no idea ‘what schall happyne’. This is not to argue that Richard’s will alone allowed him to take the Crown. Clearly, the circumstances of a minority, the existence of powerful magnates with access to private forces, and the reasonably recent examples of resorts to violence and deposition of kings, made Richard’s path a more conceivable one. But Richard’s own tactics, his arrest of Rivers, Vaughan and Grey, the rounding up of Hastings and the bishops, relied on surprise. If men as close as these to the workings of high politics at a delicate juncture had no inkling of what might happen, the least historians can do is to reflect that uncertainty [...].
(*The author who Horspool is referencing and disagreeing with is Charles Ross)
#wars of the roses#edward v#richard iii#edward iv#my post#I'm writing a post on this topic but I have no idea when I'll finish it so I figured I should post Horspool's epic analysis#or should I say epic takedown? <3#friendly reminder that Richard's usurpation happened primarily and decidedly because of Richard's own decisions and actions#we need to stop downplaying his singular agency and accountability by casting the blame on others#most of all Elizabeth Woodville and her family but also the bizarre interpretation of historians like Ross and Pollard (et al)#who somehow hold Edward more responsible (through a 'structuralist' view as Horspool says) even though that literally makes no sense#also friendly reminder that actual contemporaries did not view Edward V's minority as a sign of worry and potential discontent#quite the opposite - they expected him to have a prosperous reign. which made sense since Edward IV left his son a far more stable#country than any former minor king (and most other adult kings tbh). The irony is that it was his son's usurper who benefitted from it.#also I added Elizabeth Woodville to the list because Edward V himself specifically said that he trusted the governance of the country#'to the peers of the realm and the queen' as quoted by Mancini (likely relayed to him by John Argentine)#and this is supported by evidence. After Edward's death the Croyland Continuator substitutes Elizabeth's role in the council#for that of the King: 'the counsellors of the king now deceased were present with the queen'#we know Elizabeth presided over all the council's decisions and initiated proposals (the size of her son's military escort) on her own#She was clearly the one with the most authority in the council (who were described as being present with *her* not anyone else)#Hastings made demands but he couldn't enforce them at all (and was in fact worried). It was clearly Elizabeth who had that power.#She was likely going to play a very prominent role during her son's minority and imo it's problematic to assume otherwise#(Lynda Pidgeon assumes otherwise but she's based her assumption on objectively false information so I don't think we should take her#seriously)(see: she claims that EW lacked influence compared to her male relatives in royal councils when EW HERSELF WAS IN ROYAL COUNCILS)#That's not to go too far the other direction and claim EW tried to dominate and tactlessly exclude others - we know she didn't#The impression we get by this first council and by Richard's own actions indicates that she Richard and Anthony would likely#work *together* when it came to governing the realm#I do find it frustrating when people disregard the fact that based on the impression we have she would've had a very visible#and powerful role

Amo la strega per la sua onesta ambiguità, per quel suo vestito nero che sconfigge ogni luce artificiale, perché appartiene al buio, alla luna, perché apparecchia la notte ai disperati e ai dannati come me.

~ Questa donna qui ~
Non pretendere di capirmi sempre, di inquadrarmi in uno schema ben delineato, di definirmi esattamente con quattro aggettivi.
Credimi, anche per me è sempre stato molto difficile, a tratti impossibile, stare dietro a me stessa e
alle parabole dei pensieri,
alle iperboli dei desideri,
alle incursioni dei ricordi,
al disallineamento dei tempi,
ai tentennamenti della volontà,
alla zavorra dei doveri,
al richiamo degli affetti,
alle beffe dei rimpianti,
ai tormenti delle passioni,
al blocco dei complessi,
ai tiri mancini degli eventi,
alle smanie di cambiamento,
all'illusione del controllo,
alla sferza della stanchezza,
alle profonde solitudini.
E mi spiace se non sono come tu mi vuoi, nel momento in cui lo vuoi, ma non so essere più o meno di così.
Ci ho lottato per un po', poi ho alzato le mani imparando a convivere con questo baricentro instabile, con le mie contraddizioni, accettando di essere al tempo stesso
semplice e complicata
acciaio e burro
fuoco e tepore
tempeste e calma
sorrisi e lacrime
tutto e niente.
Accettando di essere solo una donna.
Questa donna qui.

"Ti stai facendo una canna!" "Embè?": la nuova campagna del governo contro la droga è già un meme
Lo spot per prevenire il consumo di stupefacenti segue la non fortunata iniziativa con l'allora ct della nazionale Roberto Mancini. E sui social è già virale per la sua discutibile qualità ed efficacia
[...] Video, meme, ironici sketch su TikTok. È diventata questa, in pochissime ore, la campagna istituzionale del Dipartimento per le politiche antidroga in rotazione sulle reti Rai. Un bambino critica un ragazzino più grande mentre si prepara una canna. Trenta secondi, in cui il più piccolo avvisa il maggiore: «Guarda che ti fai male, poi è un attimo che passi ad altre droghe». 
Un ritorno alle pubblicità progresso anni novanta che di progresso avevano ben poco: la generalizzazione degli stupefacenti, l'atmosfera ansiogena e quella sensazione di terrorismo psicologico che tratta la tossicodipendenza esclusivamente come un problema giovanile. Dopo la Venere di Botticelli lanciata ad aprile come influencer dal Ministero del Turismo e il logo del Ministero del Merito presentato a maggio che sembrava richiamare alla fiamma del Msi, un altro pasticcio per il Governo Meloni. Va detto che l'Italia non colleziona successi per spot informativi sulla prevenzione al consumo e all’abuso di sostanze stupefacenti, eppure l’informazione sugli effetti delle varie sostanze restano ovunque la premessa di qualsiasi comunicazione. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kCg6FXNHVn0
Lo spot del Governo tuttavia accomuna tutte le droghe («è un attimo che passi ad altre droghe»). E dietro lo spot è evidente la mano del consulente del Dipartimento per le politiche antidroga, il leader delFamily Day, Massimo Gandolfini («assolutamente contrario a ogni legalizzazione») sostenitore di una criminalità affibbiata ai consumatori di cannabis, dell’equiparazione tra droghe pesanti e leggere. Decisamente un cambio per la politica italiana sulle droghe che archivia la stagione della ex titolare del dossier, Fabiana Dadone, che pur non producendo risultati concreti, aveva tentato di aprire un dialogo sulla legalizzazione della cannabis. Adesso arriva lo spot anti cannabis del Governo Meloni. Così debole da suscitare l'ilarità sui social: «Ogni anno il governo realizza campagne anti-droga che causano effetti controproducenti perché sono fatti a cazzo di cane"» una delle parodie più riuscite firmate da Il Grande Flagello su Twitter. Tra la reazioni politiche si segnala la critica lapidaria del segretario di +Europa, Riccardo Magi: «Ma davvero il governo pensa di fare la guerra alla droga con questi spot ai limiti del ridicolo? Un insieme di luoghi comuni privi di ogni base scientifica, una breve sequela di affermazioni che non hanno alcuna fondatezza scientifica o statistica e che si basano evidentemente su un presupposto: i giovani italiani sono stupidi. Una cosa è certa: chi ha pensato questa pubblicità regresso non ha alcuna contezza di ciò che accade nel mondo reale ed è rimasto a una retorica anni 80 che ha portato alla guerra alle cannette, alla persecuzione di qualche adolescente mentre, nel frattempo, il narcotraffico prosperava. Fatevi una cortesia: legalizzate la cannabis e proibite questi spot».
