How does one start a club called "Kids of Donor 1234" without making it sound like a secret society?

In the age of modern reproductive technology, many children are born through sperm donation. As these children grow up and seek connection with others who share their unique origins, the idea of forming a club like “Kids of Donor 1234” can be both appealing and daunting. The challenge lies in creating a group that fosters a sense of community and support without it feeling exclusive or…

👑 Zum bevorstehenden Thronwechsel in Dänemark: Margrethe II. – eine direkte Nachfahrin Königin Luises von Preußen

Übermorgen, am 14. Januar, zweiundfünfzig Jahre nach ihrer Thronbesteigung, wird Königin Margrethe II. von Dänemark nun abdanken und ihrem Sohn, der ihr als König Friedrich X. folgen wird, die Regierung übergeben.

Aus diesem Anlass lohnt es sich, einen Blick auf die Verwandtschaft zu werfen, die Königin Margrethe II. mit dem einstigen preußischen Herrscherhaus verbindet: Gleich von mehreren Seiten ist die Monarchin nämlich die vierfache Urenkelin der preußischen Königin Luise.

In unserem aktuellen Beitrag auf unserer 👑Facebookseite Schloss Charlottenburg👑 erfahren Sie mehr über die Verwandtschaft Margrethes II. zu Königin Luise. Wir wünschen Ihnen anregende Unterhaltung.

👑In Berlins größtem Konigsschloss können Sie von Dienstag bis Sonntag zwischen 10 und 16.30 Uhr auf den Spuren der Königin Luise wandeln. Im Neuen Flügel erwarten Sie das elegante Appartement Luises sowie die Wohnräume ihres Mannes König Friedrich Wilhelms III. Wir freuen uns auf Ihren Besuch.

👑 On the upcoming change of throne in Denmark: Margrethe II - a direct descendant of Queen Luise of Prussia

The day after tomorrow, on 14 January, fifty-two years after her accession to the throne, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark will abdicate and hand over the reign to her son, who will succeed her as King Frederick X.

To mark the occasion, it is worth taking a look at the family ties that link Queen Margrethe II to the former Prussian dynasty: On several sides, the monarch is in fact the fourfold great-granddaughter of Prussian Queen Luise.

In our current article on our 👑Facebook page Charlottenburg Palace👑 you can find out more about Margrethe II's relationship to Queen Luise. We wish you stimulating entertainment.

👑In Berlin's largest royal palace, you can follow in the footsteps of Queen Luise from Tuesday to Sunday between 10 am and 4.30 pm. Luise's elegant flat and the living quarters of her husband King Friedrich Wilhelm III await you in the New Wing. We look forward to your visit.

Argh I was looking at my eyes in the mirror and started thinking about how Jewish they look. And then I just started crying because like. I’ve seen my eyes in so many Jews, in so many eras. The same eye shape, the same heavier lids and under eyes and dark brown irises and slight slope and intensity and just. So many times and places and histories of our people, and I can see my eyes. And they are so, so beautiful

Stephen Bantu Biko

Stephen Biko was born in 1946, in King William's Town in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. As a medical student at the University of Natal, he was involved with the National Union of South African Students (NUSAS) and went on to found the South African Students' Association (SASO).

At a time when the African National Congress and Pan-Africanist Congress were banned by the government, SASO filled the political vacuum by evolving into the Black Consciousness Movement.

In 1972 Biko was expelled from the university, and the following year he was banned by the authorities. Despite this, he played a key role in organizing the protests that culminated in the Soweto Uprising of 1976.

He helped to unite over 70 black consciousness groups which helped to develop the Black Consciousness Movement and help advance the liberation struggle, building a vanguard party.

He was banned between 1975 and 1977 and caught, arrested and in police detention September 12, 1977 after being beaten mercilessly, he slipped into a coma to his death.

Although Biko never lived to write his memoirs, he left behind some revealing documents. African Lives includes a portion of an interview Biko gave to an American businessman a few months before he was detained and beaten to death.

He was assassinated because he represented power of African unity and the black consciousness and courage of the people. Long live the life, consciousness, courage, contributions and legacy of Stephen Bantu Biko. May his spirit live and manifest in future generations.

Stephen Bantu Biko

Stephen Biko nació en 1946 en la ciudad del Rey William en la Provincia del Cabo, Sudáfrica. Cómo estudiante de medicina en la Universidad de Natal, estuvo involucrado con la Unión Nacional de Estudiantes Sudafricanos (NUSAS) y luego fundó la Organización de Estudiantes Sudafricanos (SASO).

En un tiempo en el cual el Congreso Nacional Africano y el Congreso Pan-Africanista fueron prohibidos por el gobierno, SASO llenó la aspiradora política al evolucionar y convertirse en el Movimiento de Conciencia Negra.

En 1972, Biko fue expulsado de la universidad y al año siguiente fue exiliado por las autoridades. A pesar de esto, él jugó un rol importante en organizar las protestas que llevaron a la Rebelión de Soweto de 1976.

Ayudó a unir alrededor de setenta grupos de conciencia negra, lo cual ayudó a desarrollar el Movimiento de Conciencia Negra y ayudó con los avances para la lucha por la liberación, así creando un partido vanguardista.

Fue exiliado desde el año 1975 hasta 1977 y el 12 de septiembre de 1977, fue arrestando y puesto bajo detención policial. Luego de haber sido atacado sin piedad alguna, cayó en coma y falleció.

Aunque Biko nunca vivió lo suficiente para escribir su autobiografía, dejó unos documentos muy reveladores. Vidas Africanas incluye una porción de una entrevista que Biko le dio a un empresario estadounidense unos meses antes de que fuese detenido y golpeado hasta morir.

Fue asesinado porque él representaba el poder de la unidad africana, la conciencia negra y la valentía del pueblo. Larga vida a la vida, al conocimiento, a la valentía, contribuciones y legado de Stephen Bantu Biko. Que su espíritu viva y se manifieste en futuras generaciones.

idk. i just think it's kind of shitty to make fun of celtic languages or try to project english rules onto them. just because a language has a latin alphabet doesn't mean it follows english spelling rules and celtic spelling rules actually make sense when you actually learn the rules. and just because a word may sound like a rude or adult word in english doesn't mean it's ok to make fun of it. it's as beautiful as any other word in the language and shouldn't be made fun of i think.

👑 Ein preußisches Diadem im Besitz Königin Margrethes II. von Dänemark Das häufig von Margrethe II. getragene sehr repräsentative Diadem mit zahlreichen Diamanten und großen Tropfenperlen war zusammen mit anderen Juwelen ein Hochzeitsgeschenk König Friedrich Wilhelms III. von Preußen für seine jüngste Tochter Luise (1808-1870). Prinzessin Luise heiratete im Mai 1825 ihren Cousin Prinz Wilhelm Friedrich der Niederlande (1797-1881). Das Prinzenpaar lebte in den Niederlanden in einem ›Huize De Paauw‹ genannten klassizistischen Palais in Wassenaar sowie auf seinen preußischen Besitzungen Schloss Muskau in der Oberlausitz und im schlesischen Schloss Schildau, das König Friedrich Wilhelm III. 1839 seiner Tochter schenkte. Unter den Linden in Berlin stand dem Paar das sogenannte Niederländische Palais als Absteigequartier zur Verfügung. Bis heute erinnert die Luisenstraße in Berlin-Mitte an die Prinzessin, von der ihr Vater Friedrich Wilhelm III. meinte, sie sähe ihrer früh verstorbenen Mutter sehr ähnlich. Über ihre gleichnamige Tochter ist Prinzessin Luise eine der Stammmütter der heutigen dänischen Königsfamilie und die dreifache Urgroßmutter Königin Margrethes II.

👑 A Prussian tiara owned by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark

Often worn by Margrethe II, this very prestigious tiara with numerous diamonds and large pearls was, together with other jewellery, a wedding gift from King Frederick William III of Prussia for his youngest daughter Luise (1808-1870).

Princess Luise married her cousin Prince William Frederick of the Netherlands (1797-1881) in May 1825. The princely couple lived in the Netherlands in a neoclassical palace called 'Huize De Paauw' in Wassenaar as well as at their Prussian estates Muskau Castle in Upper Lusatia and Schildau Castle in Silesia, which King Frederick William III gave to his daughter in 1839. Under the Linden trees in Berlin, the so-called Dutch Palace was available to the couple as a place to stay. To this day, Luisenstraße in Berlin-Mitte commemorates the princess, who her father Friedrich Wilhelm III thought looked very much like her mother, who died young. Through her daughter of the same name, Princess Luise is one of the progenitors of today's Danish royal family and the triple great-grandmother of Queen Margrethe II.

youre so right about the rabbit contest thing, i entered my dear bunny snuggles, may he rest in peace, into the village fair when i was about 8 and he LOST because he had very thick, black fur and it was summer so he was moulting and i will never forgive the boy in my class whose bunny won because she had thinner fur and looked nicer. the judges did not look into his heart and soul and see that i loved him so very much that he ought to have won. i sat by his hutch for hours afterwards telling him second place was very good actually because in sofia the first, clover wanted a blue ribbon and the second place ribbon was blue so he was a blue ribbon bunny, just like in the song from sofia the first.

justice for snuggles the bunny

thinking about the public domain is more than a little devastating to me like they’ve literally taken so much from us. the corporatization of art and culture has locked away american cultural heritage for longer and longer periods of time! the original term for public domain was 56 years think about that. almost 40 more years. i hope we all live 40 more years but who knows. and how much of that art will degrade and disappear in the meantime! things are lost every day! truly and genuinely it’s such a loss for the independent artist i want people to be able to adapt things from the ‘60s into shitty plays that they put on at their local rec centers and to make money off of that but we can’t because of corporate greed
