“He trusts you, you know,” Moneypenny says, coming up behind him just as Q ends his phone call with his date. He’d been looking forward to it, too, starting anew at long last, moving forward, moving on. “More than me, more than anyone at this point, I think.”
Q sighs, a migraine slowly but surely starting to pulse and throb in his temples. "Is it bad that I wish he would trust me less right now?" Because for some reason, he doesn't doubt Eve's words, knows Bond wouldn't be here if it weren't true, but still, he hates that they make something too similar to a supernova burn in his chest.
Eve raises an eyebrow at him, like she can tell he's lying through his teeth. "Would you really want him going to anyone else for help?"
No. No, Q would absolutely hate it, and they both know it. "One day, I will be able to tell him no," he says, and when he meets Eve's eyes, he can tell neither of them believe it.

I truly hope this is a small section of football fans, BUT BLAMING DAMAR HAMLIN’S STATE ON TEE HIGGINS IS NOT IT. That was a freak ass accident and no one deserves blame for it.

The state of Utah in the United States has no citizenship requirements for marriage licenses, and Utah County is the only place there that allows international couples to register their marriages online. Since the county rolled out virtual weddings during the Covid-19 pandemic, it became a wedding haven for same-sex couples who are not able to officially marry in their own countries.
As sexual minorities in China face suppression at home, Utah County is allowing them to officially marry and celebrate their love — all for around $100. Although the marriages aren’t recognized in China, some 200 same-sex couples from mainland China and Hong Kong have gotten married via the county’s digital marriage license system since 2021.
For authorities in Utah County, the influx of international couples came as a surprise. The Utah County and Auditor’s Office moved its marriage licensing service online, as part of a digitization initiative in 2019. At the start of the pandemic, a number of couples requested Zoom ceremonies, and the county made those available as well.
The service first attracted couples in Utah, followed by people from across the U.S., and later, from all over the world. From May 1 to September 20 this year, at least 77 same-sex couples with mainland Chinese addresses have been married there, said county deputy clerk Russ Rampton, who oversees marriage licensing, to Rest of World.
Although same-sex marriage remains illegal in Hong Kong, under a different set of laws to mainland China, residents who get married in other places are able to apply for dependent visas in the city for their partners. Married gay people are also able to mark themselves as married in tax filings.
In his vow, however, [one marriage certificate applicant] Zhu said he was looking forward to getting married a second time — in China. “If one day our country allows this, I hope we could get married again in this country,” Zhu said to his husband before they kissed.

Marriage equality does not stop in the West.

It's essential to write love letters. Even a quick little blurb. Either on paper or in email.
Those little things are so so so important.
That's all.
