Great photo. It has no Alt text. 😕 Allow me to ask, where is it?

If you're the photographer I recommend you to use the tag mywork. Else, consider giving credit to the author. :ablobattention:

Now about the "24 horus". I know Horus the Falcon, Horus the Elder, Horus the Younger, Horus the Child and Horus of Behdebt.
That's only 5. The question is: Who are the other 19? 😉

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is published #OTD in 1937.

The novella has been banned from various US public and school libraries or curricula for allegedly "promoting euthanasia", "condoning racial slurs", being "anti-business", containing profanity, and generally containing "vulgar," "offensive language," and containing racial stereotypes, as well as the negative impact of these stereotypes on students. Many of the bans and restrictions have been lifted. via @wikipedia
