As happened with last year’s violent attacks on the Wet’suwet’en by militarized Royal Canadian Mounted Police, many other First Nations peoples are taking actions in solidarity and support.

Uplifting men will help uplift women too
Growing up, I witnessed a paradox whenever I would hang out at my friend’s house.

How To Deal With Failure
Accept Failure.
The first step in dealing with failure is to accept that failure is natural. We all have bad days and weeks. Days that nothing seems to go right and our brain has nothing left in it. Failure hurts, at least for the first time. Failure is absolutely normal and acceptable. Its ok to fail sometimes. Most days, I feel like my life is a test I didn’t study for. And it’s like I’m being huddled into getting an F with a deserving ass whooping. But mind you, failing an obstacle course or a test over and over again is not normal. You’re not just a failure, you’re a dull head. If you can’t succeed at the little things you do, then skydiving is definitely not for you. In a day when you don’t come across problems, then you are definitely travelling on the wrong path or probably lost…

I don’t know what our Prime Minister is doing
I don’t even know where to begin with our Prime Minister of Australia. I think he think’s, he’s a mini Trump or something?
He put forward a Religious Discrimination Bill, which short wise means, Religions get extra protection against discrimination (mainly Christian/Catholic)? Like, I don’t even know what the problem is. He came out saying that basically the LGBTQIA community don’t have to worry, this isn’t about them. It’s just adding extra protection to Religions…
Everyone was like …
Wha …
We already have Laws and Rules in place about Discrimination. You already cannot discriminate against someone because of their Religion.
Most Religions are multi-billion industries. I will call them that, they also got extra payments from the Australian Government during COVID. Some Churches were getting hundreds, thousands when there was only one or two people there. Since, just like other first world Countries, Religions don’t get taxed. The public…

Advent unter einem Sternenhimmel
Der für dieses Jahr letzte Begriff zu Rolands Projekt „Wöchentliche Fotochallenge“ #40 bei Royusch-Unterwegs lautet “Advent”.
Ich habe dafür ein Foto vom Weihnachtsmarkt am Kölner Dom ausgewählt, das mir besonders gut gefällt. Man hat den Eindruck, dass man sich unter einem Sternenhimmel befindet, wenn man unter dem Lichterzelt steht , das an den Weihnachtsbaum angeschlossen ist. Der riesige Weihnachtsbaum steht in der Mitte des Roncalliplatzes, auf dem der schöne Weihnachtsmarkt am Kölner Dom dieses Jahr wieder stattfindet.
Tomato Basil Bruschetta
Hi there, are you still having a food coma from the Thanksgiving feast?
I think some of my Thanksgiving feast items are still in my stomach, but skipping meals is a big NO NO, so let’s cook something light!
When I went to an Italian restaurant with my college friends, we usually had calamari fries and enjoyed them a lot. But after graduation and I was the only one who stayed in the US, my lunch/dinner buddy also changed to my-date-who-later-become-my-husband. He isn’t a big fan of fried food or seafood except sushi, so this was the time I met bruschetta. I knew he wasn’t a big fan of fresh tomatoes so immediately after he ordered that, I thought that was for me. It turned out their bruschetta was so good and we both enjoyed them a lot(Now I’m glad we’re still in the stage of loving each other a…

Censura
Há em toda censura, um protesto, um gesto de desaprovação. Mas, há também um alerta para aquilo que podemos melhorar. Posicionamentos moderados, podem nos fazer ter o desejo de nos comportar de maneira autêntica.
A sinceridade quando dita de forma correta, digo ” com esse papel de nos mostrar os erros”, esta, deve ser acolhida com cuidado. Às vezes, se torna promissor ter um amigo que use de palavras verdadeiras para nos chamar atenção para ,erros, situações, atitudes das quais precisamos melhor.
” Uma palavra quando bem dita, ela nos levar a conhecer a pessoa que nos diz o que precisamos ouvir, assim como nos sensibilizar a nós mesmos, quanto as nossas verdades “
Só tem capacidade de corrigir a si mesmo, de “se construir novamente” aquele que também tem a capacidade de julgar a si mesmo. Quando nos julgamos, deixamos o orgulho de lado, nos tornando cúmplices do sofrimento…

The Moon Makes Silver
I open my window letting in the moonlight
I see an owl on a moonbeam flight
The moon makes silver on my pillow
Runes scatter on the weeping willow
My window dusted with dreams open
Night blooms hold my words, unspoken
Calligraphy of the cosmos in the skies
Changes the color in my eyes
Only the November wind between me and the sky
And all the nature I can descry.
