TIL that Eowyn's actress, Miranda Otto, was in her mid-30's at the time of filming... I've never felt more powerful. Forget my existential crisis of feeling like I haven't done enough. I'm at the age of slaying Witch Kings 🗡️

That’s why I have written to CSIS asking for transparency, regular updates, and a clear assessment of the dangers we face. Danielle Smith doesn’t care about protecting you. Alberta’s New Democrats do.

“As the annual Pride parade weaved its way through Durham… the rainbow flags were almost matched in number by trade union banners, as miners, postal workers, and train drivers swelled the parade’s ranks in solidarity, making it the biggest in Durham Pride’s history.” Solidarity is our strength. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Premiere Smith’s illegitimate attempt to end run the system after the system failed to produce her desired chaos is a master class in ratfucking. Here’s how the question is structured: Should Alberta stay in Canada? Yes - Alberta should leave No - Alberta should stay

“Should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”

“Yes - Alberta should begin the process of holding a binding referendum on separation”

“No - Alberta should not begin the prose of holding a binding referendum on separation - Alberta stays on Canada”

“Not sure”

🧵1/4 African folktales were once passed down through generations as community treasures. Today, many survive only through preservation efforts and digital access. 🌍 Laura Gibbs & Helen Nde fight to preserve African folktales before more cultural memory disappears 🕳️ 🔗 archive.org/details/vani...
