This account exists in support of Into the Greenwood. A podcast for exploring what we can learn by examining the legends of Robin Hood.

Followers can expect history, folklore, & nerdery. But also politics, it would be a failure to truly engage w/ our subject if we eschewed socio-political content.

I'm not using any dating apps, but I have used them in the past. I met my partner on OKCupid.

It could be a difficult and dispiriting experience, one that could even undermined my sense of self-worth. But it never undermined my sense of self.

They're effectively saying that anyone who is ideologically opposed to them can be categorized as a terrorist and therefor have their assets seized, be imprisoned, or even be targeted by military action. What this portends is chilling.
The film's biggest selling point is all of the acrobatic action employed by Lancaster and Nick Cravat, his childhood friend and fellow former circus performer.
Last night I watched The Flame and the Arrow w/ Burt Lancaster.
It's about an outlaw and archer who leads a band in the forest where they steal the taxes collected by the oppressive nobles. Oh and there's a romance with a noble lady.
It's more of a Robin Hood movie than several Robin Hood movies.
