      Amazing.

      They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

        In 1959, police were called to a segregated library in S. Carolina when a 9yr-old Black boy refused to leave. He later got a PhD in Physics from MIT, and died in 1986, one of the astronauts aboard the space shuttle Challenger. The library that refused to lend him books is now named after him.

            Think Cinderella was born in a European fairytale? Think again.

            Long before glass slippers and fairy godmothers, there was Rhodopis — a beautiful young slave in ancient Egypt.

            As the story goes, recorded by the Greek geographer Strabo in the 1st century BC, Rhodopis was bathing when a falcon — symbol of the god Horus — snatched one of her golden sandals and dropped it in the lap of the Pharaoh.
            Struck by its beauty and the mystery behind it, he launched a kingdom-wide search to find its owner.
            When he finally met Rhodopis, he was captivated by her grace and nobility… and made her his queen.

            Yes — this is considered the oldest known version of Cinderella.
            It dates back to the Hellenistic period, blending Egyptian and Greek mythologies long before Disney gave it a glittering twist.

            Back then it was a falcon, not a fairy. A golden sandal, not glass. A Pharaoh, not a prince.

            Amazing how some stories live on — only their shoes change.

                        BTW, the shoes weren't made of glass.
                        In heraldry 'vair' (French for skin, leather or fur) was misinterpreted as 'verre' (French for glass).

                          Can we focus on the real story here?

                          Yet again white europeans culturally appropriated from Indigenous People.

                              When a crow feels sick… it visits an anthill.
                              Sounds strange? It’s actually one of nature’s most fascinating healing rituals.
                              When a crow senses it’s unwell, it will intentionally find an anthill, spread its wings wide, and remain completely still—waiting for the ants to crawl into its feathers.
                              Why?
                              Because ants release formic acid—a natural antiseptic that kills bacteria, fungi, and parasites hiding in the bird’s feathers.
                              This behavior is called “anting”, and it’s been observed not just in crows, but in many bird species.
                              No medicine.
                              No vet.
                              Just pure instinct and nature’s built-in pharmacy.
                              A brilliant reminder that the natural world is full of intelligent, self-healing systems…
                              We just need to stop and notice.
