Reminders of the Refrewshire Witch Trials. On the left is a well on Queen Street in Paisley which is all that's left of the Gallow Green where six people, including two boys aged just 14 and 11, were reportedly hung for being witches in 1697. On the right is the memorial at Maxwellian Cross marking the places where their remains were buried after their bodies were burned. This was the last mass exection of people for witchcraft in western Europe. #glasgow #paisley #witches #memorials

People tend to forget that the most deadly people on the planet are women with nothing left to lose. In World War 2, the Polish women in my family sent the children to America, and became assassins with a pretty sizable kill count before they were eventually captured and murdered by nazis. My Levantine cousins have been running resistance for 80 years. If you touch our homes, our children, our men…you will regret that decision, if it takes us generations to do it. All hail the #Ukrainian Warrior Women. May their bravery light the path forward as we face off against the fascists. “These warrior-witches have become Ukraine’s most feared intelligence assets, moving through occupied territory like shadows. Orobets travels abroad often, where she is sometimes asked, “What happens if Ukraine runs out of men?” “Be careful what you wish for,” she says. “If Ukraine’s women are in charge, there won’t be a Russian left alive.”” #russia #ukraine #witcheshttps://archive.ph/2026.06.23-144042/https://www.theatlantic.com/international/2026/06/underground-intelligence-network-russia-ukraine/687578/
