Today is #RaceRelationsDay. Share if you commit to giving nothing to racism. No tolerance. No laughs. No likes. No attention. No welcome. No respect. No agreement. No support. No encouragement. No power. No home. #GiveNothingToRacism

Happy birthday to Kate Sheppard, born on this day in 1847. One of the most prominent leaders of women’s suffrage in New Zealand, and an advocate of all people’s rights. Because of her, New Zealand extended voting to women in 1893.

#InternationalMountainDay And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. From When You Are Old by William Butler Yeats
