Hi, everyone! It’s so nice to see old friends here & I look forward to making new ones, too. I love posting about literary & historic worlds, as well as positive & whimsical things that bring solace to some in a weary world. Thank you for stopping by & for being patient as I begin this account 🥰♥️📚

‘The realm of fairy-story is wide & deep & high & filled with many things: all manner of beasts & birds are found there; shoreless seas & stars uncounted; beauty that is an enchantment, & an ever-present peril; both joy & sorrow as sharp as swords.’
—JRR Tolkien

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Every Canadian needs to watch this!
Don't let our politicians or our churches get away with spreading the same LIES and HATE here. Don't let them radicalize us and turn us against each other.

Don't be suckered in by Poilievre's campaign to launch a campaign over Canadian Christians suffering "persecution." He is running the same playbook as the AfD in Germany, Trump in the States and Farage in the UK.
My latest.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

My absolute favorite actor of all time 💚 Got to meet him once, while he was filming Canadian bacon back in the day at the base of the CN tower in Toronto. He's an absolute Canadian treasure ❤️ #johncandy #ilikeme youtu.be/hatkPBCcYUI?...
