ᚻᛖᛚᛚᚩ! Let me explain why runes are better than our alphabet. And go to https://ground.news/robwords to stay fully informed and see through the headlines with Ground News. Save 40% on unlimited access to the Vantage Plan through my link for one month only.

If it's good enough for #Tolkein and his dwarves, it's good enough for us!
