Excerpts from A Song of Ice and Fire that I think are very relevant to the reality that we live in today.

I post these from time to time, as I'm reminded of them when a topic catches my attention.

I'm making this toot as the root 🧵 of excerpts, since I keep running out of pinned toots on my profile, and I read that by pinning a root you can basically have "infinite" pins.

Toot

"Behind the Black Wall, lords of ancient blood sleep poorly, listening as their kitchen slaves sharpen their long knives. Slaves grow our food, clean our streets, teach our young. They guard our walls, row our galleys, fight our battles. And now when they look east, they see this young queen shining from afar, this breaker of chains."

~ excerpt from A Dance With Dragons, Tyrion VI, by George RR Martin
