ok so.
thereâs an office administrator at my work and she has this cute little 2 year old named William. he calls me âNick so tallâ. like thatâs my name to him, but he says it like itâs one word. âNicksotallâ. and i love it
so Iâve taken to calling him Will So Lilâ and we get along like a housefire.
i havenât seen him in like two weeks, but his mom comes in to work today and tells me that recently heâs been telling his own bedtime stories, and he starts them all with once upon a time and everything. cute right? well to me it gets cuter, because he has been telling stories about Batman, Spider-man, and Nicksotall.
and we have these adventures and climb buildings and fight crime together and i have to be honest, it warmed my heart so fucking much itâs ridiculous
Today is Copernicusâs 541th birthday. You may remember Copernicus as the man who said âHey, what if the Earth went around the sun?â To which the Catholic Church replied âHey, what if we set you on fire?âÂ
N.S. woman refused to give up seat at movie theatre 9 years before Rosa Park's famous act of defiance
Sheâs often described as âCanadaâs Rosa Parks,â but if anything, Rosa Parks is Americaâs Viola Desmond.
The civil rights icon and new face of the Canadian $10 bill refused to give up her seat in a whites-only section of a Nova Scotia movie theatre nine years before Parksâs famous act of civil disobedience on a racially segregated bus in Montgomery, Ala.
âViola was passionate about people. She inspired them and she inspires us,â Desmondâs 89-year-old sister Wanda Robson said Thursday when the bill was announced at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Que.
Now sheâs made history again as the first Canadian woman to be featured on the $10 bill.
Viola Desmond to be 1st Canadian woman on $10 bill
Born and raised in Halifax to parents who were active members of the cityâs black community, Desmond was always ambitious.
At a time when opportunities were extremely limited for women and black people, she set out to establish a career in business.
She studied at the Field Beauty Culture School in Montreal, one of the few institutions that accepted black students, and went on to open Viâs Studio of Beauty and Culture, a Halifax beauty parlour and shop that catered to black women.
From there, she expanded her empire, founding the Desmond School of Beauty Culture and launching a line of products sold at venues owned by her graduates.
On Nov. 8, 1946, Desmond, who was then 32, had some time to spare while she was waiting to get her car fixed, so she decided to catch a movie at the Roseland Theatre in New Glasgow.
She sat in the slightly more expensive, and implicitly whites-only, section of the theatre. She was asked to move, but she refused â so she was removed by force.
âThe usher came up and said, âMiss, you are sitting in the wrong seat, you canât sit here, that seat is more expensive,â so Viola said, âOK, Iâll go and pay the difference,ââ her sister and Wanda Robson, who has dedicated her life to telling Desmondâs story, told CBC News earlier this year.
âBut when the usher came again and said, 'Iâm going to have to get a manager.â Viola said, 'Get the manager. Iâm not doing anything wrong.ââ

Writing an essay on Faust in German and apparently we need a native or intermediate German speaker to edit it to make sure our writing is okay.. Anyone able to help this poor German student?
Unable to conform to the expectations for men his age (e.g., Gaston) or muster any interest in courting a woman, Beau longs to leave his provincial town. His wish is inadvertently granted when his father is imprisoned by a prince who is cursed to appear as a hideous creature until he learns to love and is loved in return. The Beast and enchanted palace staff are disappointed that there is no female family member to take his fatherâs place (and therefore hopefully break the curse); nevertheless, they allow Beau to do so, thinking that at least having a peer might help ease the Beastâs suffering.
Beau is at first distressed by his predicament, and the Beast resentful, but a warm friendship grows between them. The Beast, having already given up hope of a woman discovering him before his transformation becomes permanent, realizes that he has learned to love someone. But he cannot bring himself to hope that his feelings can ever be returned, as he is not only a monster but a man; nor can he hope that such a love would be approved by the enchantress and break the curse.
May the gods have mercy on all those working this weekend.
May Hermes grant the registers speed and the scanners accuracy.
May Zeus sweeten customerâs hearts against those strangers serving them.
May Hera grant families grace and love to each other.
May Apollo grant health and well being to those out and about.
May Athena quiet the fervor in peopleâs hearts as they wait in line.
May Hestia grant peace and quiet once the workers can go home.
May Demeter bring bounty to the tableâwhether itâs in the break room or at the dinner table.
