Ein Bild des gestrigen Spiel der deutschen Nationalmannschaft, was eine nähere Betrachtung verdient!❤️🇩🇪

Auf diesem Bild sehen wir Toni Rüdiger und Deniz Undav. Was viele vielleicht nur als Torjubel wahrnehmen, ist weit mehr als das. Dieser Tanz ist ein Ausdruck kultureller Identität. Deniz Undav tanzt, um seine Vorfahren zu würdigen, die Zeit ihres Lebens unterdrückt wurden auf dieser großen Bühne unter den Augen der Welt Öffentlichkeit. . Das ist ein starkes Zeichen von Empowerment.

Als Kurden und Jesiden haben wir keinen eigenen Staat und keine Nationalmannschaft. Umso mehr tragen wir unsere Herkunft im Herzen, überall, wo wir sind.

Es ist kaum in Worte zu fassen, was es bedeutet, jemanden wie Deniz Undav im Trikot der deutschen Nationalmannschaft zu sehen. Er steht für Leistung, für Zugehörigkeit und für die Kraft, mehrere Identitäten selbstverständlich miteinander zu verbinden.

Und genauso berührend war der Moment, als sich Toni Rüdiger diesem kurdischen Tanz angeschlossen hat. Darin liegen Respekt, Wertschätzung und gelebter Zusammenhalt. Es sind genau diese Gesten, die zeigen, wie vielfältig und stark unsere Gesellschaft sein kann.

Und ja, genau das darf auch einmal hervorgehoben werden. ❤️🇩🇪☀️🦚

"Sky News has verified the identities of everyone from the school who was killed. 120 students, 73 boys & 47 girls, aged from 6 to 13, & 26 teachers, who were killed in the strike".

Please for the love of working writers, esp. indie writers get a FREE library card. There are 1000s of FREE ebooks at your libraries for FREE. Writers benefit immensely.
🏴‍☠️Pirating books make it harder for writers to remain writers, and do not lead to adaptations EVER.

Israel’s genocide has been funded by many people who bought Israeli bonds underwritten by major global banks. Barclays and BNP have stopped that: good.

Now waiting for @GoldmanSachs, @BankofAmerica, @Citi, @DeutscheBank and @jpmorgan to do the same.

Jacob’s acceptance speech for ACTRA Montreal’s “Award of Excellence”:

"Thank you. Thank you very much.

I mean, I first have to thank my excellent and exquisite friend, Karine Vanasse, who did not have to do this. And I'm so grateful, thank you so much.

I want to congratulate all of the winners, and all the nominees that I've seen up here tonight.

You know, I have been—you'll find this hard to believe, I've been an ACTRA member since 1986, when I began my career as boy who gets kidnapped. It’s a role I played many times to varying degrees of success and varying ways of getting kidnapped. Obviously by car. One time was a van. One time was just my mom.

But I did dubbing. I did original voice. I did theatre here. I've done everything. It was really, unexpectedly moving for me to see the amazing talent that is still doing this work that we all do, especially, I think, when we come from this city.

I think the greatest gift that it gives us, the greatest gift that Montreal offers to actors, is a chance to try so many different things and to learn how to use different parts of your skillset to become, ideally, like a Swiss Army knife, right? And be available to people and be like, “Yeah, I can do that. I can do that.”

You hear a lot of that here, and it's really, really cool, and it's really, really rare.

I am so relieved that this isn't a lifetime achievement award… But I am so grateful for this, and I’m so moved by what you guys cut up there [in the sizzle reel], it was really amazing.

My date tonight is my mom, and she taught many of you English, I know she did. Robert, I'm looking at you. You're not gonna get out of saying hi to her afterwards!

And as you can imagine, by the year that I joined ACTRA—like, don't be jerks, I was very, very young [audience laughs].

I'll tell you when to laugh. I didn't like that one.

But obviously, no one does that without their mom, let's be real. And I was very lucky to have an amazing mother who spent many years putting my career at the forefront of her time and her energy. And I would not be here without her, and I am deeply, deeply grateful.

And I would just be remiss if I didn't also mention my other parent, my amazing father [noted producer Kevin Tierney] who passed a number of years ago that I know a lot of you in this room know.

No one cared more about this city and its film and TV community than my father did. He built a life around it. He insisted upon it. He was fervent, he was passionate, he was inspiring, and he continues to inspire me to this day.

Thank you so much for this award and this honor tonight. Thank you."
