ALL GOOD - It knows its way home! Re: Spotted: Lost dog at Amble Side/ Park Royal.

I've tried to delete my earlier post, but for the folks of you who might have seen it:

It's all good! The little guy went on a stroll by itself and knows his way home!

He is known to the West Vancouver Bylaw Division and they confirmed that he's all good.

Thank you!

What are these?

I saw these installed on the Arbutus Greenway today. This doesn't look in any form wheelchair, stroller, one wheel, skate board or bike friendly to me at all.

Is there any practical reason to build those barriers to justify making life harder for above mentioned groups?

> New signs emphasize strength and hope of Indigenous women and communities. > > Families of missing and murdered Indigenous women in northern B.C. and an Indigenous social service agency have unveiled four new billboards to honour and remember the women and girls who've died or disappeared along a notorious highway that's been dubbed the Highway of Tears. > > The route has been called the Highway of Tears because more than 40 women and girls, mostly Indigenous, have gone missing or been murdered along the 700-kilometre stretch of Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert in northern B.C. since 1969.

  • TIL: About the Berber Queen who defied the Caliphate: Al-Kahina and the Islamic Conquest of North Africa

    > cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/80133 > > > The Berber Queen who defied the Caliphate: Al-Kahina and the Islamic Conquest of North Africa > > > > Seventh-century North Africa would see the rise of a warrior queen named al-Kahina. Who was she and how was she able to wage a war against the Umayyad Caliphate? > > > > After their unification under the banner of Islam and the rule of the caliphs in Medina, the Arabs embarked on a series of spectacular conquests during the 7th and 8th centuries. By the mid-8th century, they created an empire that encompassed the territories between the Iberian Peninsula in the west to Norther India and Central Asia in the East > > Morocco's 🇲🇦 Indigenous Berber women play a prominent role in their culture. > > > > For example, the story of Kahina, the pre-Islamic female warrior, is still very much alive in Berber culture and nowadays is used by the youth as a symbol of Berber language and culture. Kahina is remembered for her acts of bravery and her clairvoyant ability to lead her people against the Arab invasions in the 7th century CE. She surmounted the masculine monopoly of military enterprise to become a legend and the only uncrowned ‘she king’ in Moroccan history. Kahina, whose name means ‘priestess’ or ‘prophetess’, was born in the Aures Mountains in Algeria in the 7th century; the exact date is unknown. > > > > During her lifetime, Arab generals began to lead armies into North Africa, preparing to conquer the area and introduce Islam to the local peoples. Kahina directed a determined resistance to the invasions. Around 690, she assumed personal command of the African forces, and under her aggressive leadership, the Arabs were forced to retreat.

    Lemmy.ca Support / Questions @lemmy.ca Springtime @lemmy.ca
    How can I crosspost a post to a community that is not available in the dropdown menu? Or alternatively, how can I add a community to the menu for cross-posting?

    I've tried to cross post a posting in lemmy.ca/c/TIL to lemmy.world/c/women, but there's no community option for that community.

    I've also noticed, when logged into my account on lemmy.world, I have different community options to cross post to than if I'm logged into my lemmy.ca account.

    How can you cross post to communities that are not yet in the drop down menu?

    Thanks
