TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Aujourd'hui, nous nous rappelons les quatorze jeunes femmes dont les vies ont été volées à Polytechnique Montréal il y a 36 ans.
Leurs noms nous rappellent les conséquences dévastatrices de la violence fondée sur le sexe et la responsabilité qui accompagne notre souvenir.

Melissa was part of the “Be Here for the Cure” campaign in 1993. She was 21 yo. She’s still here, more than three decades later. Sometimes, when the present makes me sad or scared, I think about the courage that those young people had to stand up and fight — for their lives — against the stigma.

While baristas are on strike, our job is simple: DON’T SHOP AT STARBUCKS.
They’re striking for fair pay and respect and we’re standing with them.
