British nurse Edith Cavell was a #WWI resistance leader. She ran escape lines from German-occupied Belgium saving ~200 Allied soldiers. Betrayed by a collaborator, she was arrested, tried, and shot by a German firing squad #OTD in 1915. Quote from the eve of her execution. #WomenInHistory #HistSky
Black-and-white graphic honoring Edith Cavell: a formal portrait of the British nurse, wearing a high-collared lace blouse and upswept hair. Beside her, in bold red quotation marks, her famous words: “Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness for anyone.” The quote is attributed beneath in white text: Edith Cavell. The background fades to black with a thin red border on the left.

Eleven. I’m okay with that. Not going skydiving, giving birth, getting a tattoo or having anything pierced. Misread one of these as “Fell on the floor” instead of “Eaten something that fell on the floor.” Answer didn’t change…

Let’s vote in Democratic Governors all across America so we can stop ICE from every direction. So proud of Governor Hochul! #AbolishICE open.substack.com/pub/eyesonic...

Governor Kathy Hochul has enacted a new state law that officially bans agreements between local law enforcement agencies (ICE).

Don’t get me wrong. The idea addressed here really is a mystery, but it’s one that was identified like 50 years ago. And attempts so far to explain it are exceedingly strange! And (so far, I think) unprovable.

Okay, but Brooks only said that because he sold out long ago, and more importantly, because he’s a dick.

It is clearly impossible for that to have happened without it being reported by both Russian or Western News organizations.
