I won’t post often. I mainly repost animal, science, archaeology and anthropology posts.
The world is a dark place right now.
Bringing a little light into it might help someone 💜

As the lights go out all over the world, be a shining beacon

It is important everyone knows there is still good out there, and where to find it

The darker it gets, the more you shine

Do not lose your humanity

A low sun behind open countryside and trees

On this day in 1891, Ada Mackenzie was born in Toronto.
She created the Ladies Golf Club of Toronto, bought land and built a golf course so women had a place to golf. She won the Canadian Women's Amateur five times and is a member of Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.

A vintage black-and-white photograph of a woman standing on a grassy field, dressed in early 20th-century golf attire. She wears a light sweater, a skirt, knee-high socks, and a cloche hat, holding a golf club with a golf bag slung over her shoulder. The background shows a distant landscape with trees and a clear sky. The photo is signed "Ada Mackenzie" with the date "1926" in the bottom right corner.

On this day in 1905, Johnny Miles was born in Halifax.
A gifted runner, he won the Boston Marathon in 1926 and 1929. He competed in two Olympics and won bronze at the 1930 British Empire Games. He is a member of Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.

On Oct. 30, 1995, Quebec went through a referendum on sovereignty. It featured the largest voter turnout in Quebec's history at 93.52%, with the No side winning by 54,288 votes, and 50.58% of the votes cast.
This is the story of that referendum.

A lively group of young Montreal Expos fans marches down a city street in a parade, many wearing matching bright blue jumpsuits with large white "U" letters on the front. Several have their faces painted in team colors. They wave Quebec flags and carry handmade signs with French slogans, including "Merci pour 30 ans d’effets," "PEUPLE DEBOUT VOTEZ," "SE ME DELIVRER," "Souviens," and "Ça c’est Oui Oui Oui." The background shows urban buildings and autumn trees.

Inuk guide Tookoolito and her husband Ebierbing guided several major explorations of the Arctic, including three missions led by American explorer Charles Francis Hall to look for the lost Franklin expedition. Tookoolito gave birth to her first child during the first of these expeditions with Hall.

Continuing the ghoulish theme for Halloween, here's a rather creepy depiction on the 9-10th century Market Cross at Kells, County Meath.

It features a horned and bearded figure, embraced by two wolf-like beasts on their hind legs. Could this be a rare early depiction of the Devil, or Crom Dubh?

A weathered panel on the sandstone high cross known as the Market Cross in Kells, County Meath. The depiction is as described in the original post, a human-like bearded figure with horns, flanked by two beasts (wolves or lions?) on their hind legs.

This is Katya. She was found as a stray with severe luxating patellas in two legs making it painful to walk. Thanks to your support of our merch @15outof10.org was able to cover her $7,800 lifelong medication and bloodwork to keep her comfortable. She's already feeling better AND she found a home ❤️‍🩹

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

456,365 #ForeverCanadian signatures (plus few dozen last minute arrivals). I’m told it’s the biggest petition in Canada’s history.

None of this would happen if not for thousands of volunteers and your love for Canada.🇨🇦

Thank you! This is Alberta’s and Canada’s victory.
