Today, we remember those who spent years away from their loved ones, those who returned forever changed, and those who never came home.
Today, we honour and remember those who answered the call.

Thanks for posting this, Petronella ... It's a magnificent film, though cut from the cloth of the era and Mitchell's novel. Many loathe it for that reason, whatever ... GWTW is a one of a kind cultural artifact. And Vivien Leigh was a human flame.

Is it a surprise that Hattie McDaniel could sing? 🎶
Long before Hollywood, she was performing blues and comedy numbers with minstrel and vaudeville companies, later joining Professor George Morrison’s Melody Hounds. In 1929, she became one of the first Black women to sing on American radio, under the name “Hi-Hat Hattie.”
In Thank Your Lucky Stars (1943), she takes centre stage with “Ice Cold Katie...Won't You Marry That Soldier?”
Joined by Willie Best, Rita Christiani, Jess Lee Brooks and a chorus of singers and dancers, Hattie commands the Harlem-set number with all the flair of a seasoned performer. 🌟

🛑Boy George in Tel Aviv tonight🤍 🇮🇱
After nearly three years of international artists largely staying away from Israel, Boy George took the stage at a sold-out Menora Mivtachim Arena.
The British music icon welcomed Israeli singer Ivri Lider for a duet.
“So happy to be here,” he told the audience”.
Music is back in Tel Aviv. ❤️

Back in 1983, I performed “I Will Play a Rhapsody” from my album 'Dream of a Child' on the Don Harron Show. We should probably throw this one back into the setlist.

Boy George lost a West End role and got death threats over Israel.
He came anyway.
Biggest balls in showbiz. 🇮🇱
Total and absolute respect from me‼️‼️
I completely DISAGREE with this decision!
Meet Leroy. A specially trained Search and Rescue dog in Banff.
He tracked 156 individuals, found 57 people lost in the wilderness, trekked 22 kilometers for nine straight grueling hours to rescue a 73-year-old woman missing in a snowstorm, located avalanche victims and recovered countless bodies, bringing closure to grieving families.
Parks Canada has served notice that the SAR dog program is ending.
Banff is already under the microscope for Emergency Preparedness. But this?
Thank the Liberals $145 MILLION cut to funding.
Carnage's cost saving measures WILL COST LIVES.

Schiele vs Kandinsky
Two ports, two different styles.
Egon Schiele’s Harbor of Trieste has the lines and forms of Austrian Expressionism.
Kandinsky’s Odessa Port (1898) is still figurative, years before his move towards abstraction.
Same subject, different artistic worlds.
Which do you prefer?

Obama: "Canada, that historical adversary of ours. It's your neighbour. It's a few minutes drive over the bridge. They are the nicest people. And somehow we've gotten them so mad because they're just constantly being abused and talked about. Talking about annexing their country, making it a 51st state."
Cheering on the Dems, from the "evil empire" of 🇨🇦 😉 We love you!
Ohio, let's do what we can to elect @AmyActonOH as your next Governor and @SherrodBrown as your next U.S. Senator! They’ve dedicated their lives to fighting on behalf of all Ohioans.
If we’re willing to organize and mobilize, if we’re willing to turn out in big numbers in Ohio and across this country, if we’re willing to vote for change and vote for Democrats up and down the ballot, then this election might just mark the moment this country began moving in a better direction.
So make a plan to vote today at IWillVote.com/OH.
