Today marks the second anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II -September 8th 2024.

Two years ago (on September 8th 2022), The late Queen died around 3pm at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

You are incredibly missed. Thank you for everything Ma'am!

when self proclaimed radical "leftists" do anything but celebrate the elimination of sinwar, the term "leftist" loses more of its meaning.

for years radical leftists online kept talking about "punching nazis", about how nazis shouldn't be talked to or reasoned with, only eliminated. yet now they (some of them, hashtag not all radical leftists) are upset, angry, or sad, about the elimination of a real, murderous, nazi. one responsible for the murder of many jews, for being jewish. one responsible for brainwashing/indoctrinating gazan youths into extreme antisemitism and nazism. how are radical leftists not celebrating the literal leftist, anti nazi, praxis?

how can anyone claim to be leftist while mourning a nazi? are they only mourning a nazi because he happens to be arab? that's very racist, against arabs as well as against jews.

it's not like they see anything wrong with celebrating death. they've celebrated the death of 96 years old queen elizabeth. sinwar treated his own people terribly, much worse than queen elizabeth ever has. he was responsible for murdering political opponents, oppressing lgbtq people in gaza, oppressing women, mass child abuse (for example, using child labour in digging tunnels which has resulted in death and illness of some of those children).

western idiots mourning sinwars death are not only antisemitic supporters of a nazi, they also express support of a far-right politician, of tyranny, oppression of and discrimination against women and lgbtq people, child labour, etc.

I'm not going to do this as a reblog because I don't want to shit up somebody else's notes with pedantry, but the really funny thing about that joke about how the British and the United States can't play chess because the British are missing their Queen and the US is missing two towers is that in chess handicapping, queen odds (i.e., beginning play with no queen) and two rooks (i.e., beginning play with no rooks) are roughly equivalent – that'd actually be a fairly evenly matched game!

I also can't honestly understand rooting for the royals to die not a in "don't wish death on people ever" kind of way but just in the sense that it means nothing, the monarchy is by design self sustaining, like king Charles dies, William takes over, enforced mourning, big expensive funeral, big expensive coronation like woop de doo this is such a non event, if anything its actively detrimental to the average person when a royal dies.

I was a detective, investigating the murder of Applejack, and it was revealed to be Queen Elizabeth as the culprit.

I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the end of her family name.

I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.

Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.

All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:

“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”

Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

I think instead of formally separating from the Commonwealth, Canada should just refuse to acknowledge that Queen Elizabeth II ever died.
