I rewatched the #Hawkeye #TVseries on #DisneyPlus and it was a lot of #fun. Definitely worth watching again if you haven't seen it. The plot is twisty and there is a nice balance of humour which doesn't overshadow the overall story. Here's hoping for #season2

I was reading the news
from yesterday
when I learned someone
I once admired
had passed away
a childhood hero
until the truth
ripped my love away
I know not how to feel,
I know not what to say
and I cannot explain
how it feels to feel this
and I know not
for what I should wish
but I can't help but think
how different
it might have been
if they had died
way back when
when I might
have been able to mourn

Happy 80th Birthday to Billie Jean King. She is DEFINITELY one of the #heroes in #NamingGotham. Researching and writing the chapter about her was inspiring! I got to relive watching her wipe the floor with Bobby Riggs as a kid. Plus I learned how she has been a leader on #payequity #TitleIX and #LGBTQIA+ rights #Respect #nyc #history #tennis #newyork #newyorker #newyorkcity #historyfacts #historybuff #awardwinning #book #booktok @histodons

Dinah Jacobs is the sister of Zechariah and aunt of Levi. She helped care for Levi until the age of ten.

She was once kidnapped by enemies of Zechariah, to be used as a hostage. This prolonged, stressful experience led her to develop fighting skills and she goes nowhere without the pearl-handled blaster pistols her brother made for her, routinely doing chores around the house with them on her hips.

Dinah Jacobs is the sister of Zechariah and the aunt of Levi. She's like a second mother to Levi, having helped care for him until the age of ten.

She was once kidnapped by enemies of Zechariah, to be used as a hostage. This prolonged, stressful experience led her to develop fighting skills and she goes nowhere without the pearl-handled blaster pistols her brother made for her, routinely doing chores around the house with them on her hips.

During Zechariah's heyday, she was part of his personal tactical team and they boarded more than a few enemy star ships and stations, together.

She's an excellent fighter and was trained by Winzon.

She's also a wizard, but with very little actual power and she takes even longer than Levi to produce a spell, which is why she relies on her blasters, instead.

Interestingly enough, she was the first wizard (known to Zechariah, at least) to discover an innate, human ability to see magic simply by concentrating on it, a technique she learned while sick with Mind Fire. She taught the technique to Zech.

Her story arc in Forgotten Legends is transformative, to say the least. She starts out wanting to fight, but worried she had no place on a battlefield involving ancient gods and monsters. Seeking the power to fight, she bonds with and becomes one of the Valkyries. During the climax of the novel, she faces the physical incarnation of War, more or less alone.

Good Morning #Canada
Remembrance Day is important for me as I try to honour the memory of my father who fought in WWII. He rarely spoke of his service but his war records show he fought in Italy, France and the Netherlands. November 11th is when I miss him the most.
I hope that all Canadians take 2 minutes at 11 am today to reflect on the veterans who fought in 2 world wars, and about our military who continue to protect us.

“At this point, we're just taking care of him, expressing love, as he gets older.”

To think that the U.S. could be led by presidents like Jimmy Carter and then, down the road, the man now under multiple indictments with more to come. One of the two is heroic.

Leni Robredo as Ph president is one of Ph history's biggest what-ifs. The 2022 election day was also when I realized that Ninoy Aquino was wrong when he said that the "Filipino is worth dying for."

The Ph I love now only dwells in my heart, and it no longer resides in other Filipinos or in this country. 💔

"Arrests are Almost Like Merit Badges" – Protesters Change History for Citizens with Disabilities:

Today, Out Of Exile – Invisible Disability Rights honors "The Gang of 19" and the disability rights activist group, "ADAPT" (Atlantis Community). Forty-five years ago this week, they demanded, and were instrumental in winning, independence for people with mobility disabilities across the country. This act, is considered by many, to be the birth of the disability rights movement in the US. The unique methods they used, make their story worth exploring… They're just that cool.

On July 5, 1978, as a Denver RTD bus was picking up passengers at Colfax Avenue and Broadway, a group of individuals rolled their wheelchairs in front of the vehicle. After a second bus pulled up to the stop, other wheelchair users maneuvered themselves behind it, forming a blockade. The buses remained trapped between the wheelchair users for the next 24 hours. Chanting, "WE WILL RIDE!", the protesters message of "TAXATION WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION" forced a nation to take notice of the disability rights movement. Are the tax dollars of persons are with disabilities worth less than the tax dollars of others? Are individuals with disabilities deserving of less public accommodations than their "abled" co-citizens? The demand: That one third of Denver city buses be made wheelchair accessible. Thanks to the courage of "the gang's" heroic actions, public buses across the country are equipped to provide accessibility, independence and a bit of equality for people with disabilities.

Check out the "Gang of 19" PBS documentary contained in the links below. You can also read more about the bus blockade, ADAPT's role in the Americans With Disabilities Act, or the time wheelchair user's pulverized a curb with sledgehammers thus, forging the way for inclines at crosswalks. In hindsight, it's outrageous that it took a sledgehammer demolition, to generate understanding about the barriers and safety concerns facing wheelchair users, just trying to cross the street. There is however, much more work to be done to better the lives of all people with disabilities.

Every year as fireworks explode in celebration, I raise a glass to toast the liberty that these "Denver Pioneers" fought to win, for so many with disabilities. The neurodivergent thinkers behind these creative acts of social defiance, are nothing short of legendary. The anniversary of the "Gang of 19" blockade is truly something to celebrate. It also serves as a reminder that, a loud voice or action is sometimes necessary in the fight for disability rights, equality and, to finally #TearDownTheWall.

"Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed." Martin Luther King Jr.

The day before this year's #EarthDay two #juststopoil protestors were given outrageous and extreme prison sentences.

Morgan Trowland was jailed for three years and Marcus Decker for two years and seven months.

The presiding Judge Shane Collery KC said to the pair, you "plainly believed you knew better" than other people and were thinking "to hell with everyone else".

Future times will record them as pioneers. The Judge's comments will be forgotten.

Opened a Zoom meeting on my kid's Chromebook, like I've done many times since she got the Chromebook three years ago. Instead of seeing myself on screen, I see the ceiling. Uh, what? Cover the camera: I can see my hand on screen, just from the wrong angle. W...what? A moment of eerie "you can see alternate-universe you" energy (anyone remember #Fringe or the mirror lady from season one of #Heroes?) but no, apparently there's just a second camera on the keyboard that we never knew about 😅😅😅

Big week for #Boston with the unveiling of The Embrace memorial on Boston Common, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. Good CBS interview on the inspiration for this important piece of public art. #MLKDay #civilrights #heroes #history

@jalefkowit This post is such a #cringe #love #letter to #Moderna and #Pfizer. Those two #companies didn't fund the basic #research necessary to make the #vaccine, our #tax dollars did.
They won't release that #IP -- they're #profiting off of our #public #investment. This is what they do. In this case, if #China had agreed, those #profiteers would have simply raised more issues, meaning more #death while they siphon #millions more.
Those corporations aren't #heroes --

Sublime Abiding

The Divine Feminine has been getting much more press lately and that is good! My question is about the masculine.

Does this era have a Martin Luther King, a Mahatma Gandhi, or even a Bruce Lee?

Where is the Divine Masculine these days? Who are our current male heroes? Who has that kind of energy and integrity?

#heroes #inspiration #NeverRetire

@georgetakei and this is why I tell everyone I'm not going to ever retire. I like working, and it gives me something to do.

I may not do the same thing when I hit my 70s (I'm 54 I will be doing the same thing through my 60s 😀),.or 80s but I will be working and being me.

You are another inspiration for doing so!

Moto :ir:

@james hope you aren’t seeing this any sooner than Monday. But whenever it reaches you, be assured: you have, at a minimum, cemented yourself a role as one of my personal #fediverse #heroes
