Once, giants lived where the city of Heidelberg now stands.

They may be gone, but they still left their mark.

#Disney is definitely not what it used to be, it is scary that this #evil #giant #corporation makes content, which #children consume and form a part of their #worldview on. Is this really what #WaltDisney imagined when he started it

Here is the #FCKDISNEY sticker from our recent Banksy #collage

Found out something fun on the channel you shared - Disney Parks even collaborated with Monsanto ;)

Just like humans, some giants like to play with live-action figures.

Wieder ein interessantes Video von zum Markt und den Margen bei den ach so hohen Preisen. Finde es ja krass, dass Benny da so offen über die Preise und vorallem Kosten seitens und spricht.

Just like humans, giants can suffer from the frailties of old age.

Perhaps they even suffer more than most.

Though the Norse term "Jotun" often gets translated as "giant," the Jotnar could be many different sizes, and many of them (Loki, Skadi, etc.) were no taller than the Aesir. They often seemed less like giants and more like simply a competing faction of gods.

Yes, Aesir, Vanir and the more diverse Jotnar which might include "murky elves" (mykálfar or myrkálfar), giants and demi-gods (Loki, Skadi as you mention) like Aesir & Vanir. Elf is often translated as Dwarf, but it's only the Black Elves or Dark Elves (Svartálfar and Dökkálfar) that are like Dwarves, and they might not be actually Dwarves. There are also Light Elves (Ljósálfar) which seem a little like "flower fairies", though without any mention of wings.

Looks like UK law doesn't force them to accept entries by mail or email, so it's Instagram or TikTok if you want to enter.

Giant meatball, I do see
I think it is quite a travesty
So much meat it makes me sick
It would be trying to digest a brick
Small bits of meatball, that is fine
But on the giant one I will not dine
