The Week’s Best Cartoons 3/12

Filosofa's Word

I turn this morning to TokyoSand who, as always, has compiled the best ‘toons of the week.  This week’s cartoons, predictably, are more cringe-worthy than laugh-worthy, but even so, they speak volumes with few or no words and the talent is amazing.  Thank you, TS, for all you do!


Here are some of the best cartoons I saw this week.

See all the ‘toons at TokyoSand’s Political Charge!

O perfil da mulher pós- moderna

Yes!

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A mulher pós-moderna é uma mulher autoconfiante. É uma mulher positiva quanto a sua aparência. E acredite: Eu não falo de cirurgia plástica não. Evidente que esse detalhe ajuda, mas chamo a atenção a respeito da autoestima. Exatamente isso que você leu aqui. A autoestima é fundamental na vida de qualquer mulher, obviamente. Mas a mulher moderna é alguém que pensa diferente, forma opinião, crítica e é autodeterminada.

Sim! Nós somos paradoxal. Apesar de, termos perdido muito durante anos para os homens no gestor intelectual, aprendemos a nos esforço mais, o que inclusive choca alguns quanto a nossa lucidez. Porém, felicíssimas, e sabendo que a tolerância é ‘um vinho forte’, vamos com paciência lidando com situações extremistas, mas conscientes de que a melhor maneira de exercer o nosso papel é sendo nos mesmas, e pensando por nós. A princípio, a situação que passa na cabeça de muitas pessoas inclusive homensé…

All the reasons why bikes are better than cars

Frugal Average Bicyclist

Here is a list of all the reasons why bicycles and cycling are better than cars and driving:

  1. Cycling is great exercise; cars are just sitting.
  2. Bikes aren’t polluting the world with disgusting exhaust.
  3. Bicycles are much less expensive than automobiles.
  4. No gas price concerns.  If the price of gas is going up, that’s a car problem.
  5. Traffic jam?  Not for a cyclist, just ride on by.
  6. Car insurance sure is expensive, don’t need it for a bicycle.
  7. Won’t get door dings in a parking lot with a bike.
  8. Can be hard to find a parking spot with a car, not a problem with a bike.
  9. Never seen a parking meter for a bicycle.
  10. Can ride paths and trails where cars can’t go.
  11. Riding a bike is way more fun than boring old driving a car.

Focus on Digestion.

On a mission

  1. Our digestive systems are broken into 4 phases. The brain part was a surprise to me.
    a) Cephalic ( Involving the brain). The book I am reading says that digestion starts even before eating the food. The sight or smell of food starts the process of digestion in the brain.
    b). Oral: When we start chewing break down larger pieces into smaller ones.
    c) Gastric Phase: HCl is a powerful digestive tool.
    d) intestinal Phase: Small and Large.
  2. My Yoga Yogin says to focus on digestion, not on a diet. The point is gratitude for food which we have, be mindful while eating chew well, and of course, Asana like Bhujangasana helps. It’s very important right nutrients are required to be observed and not wasted.

Your Children’s Future — Fight For It!!!

Filosofa's Word

There are a large number of things happening in the world today that keep me awake nights – the trampling of our voting rights in nearly every state in the U.S.; the great divide between followers of the two political parties in the U.S. and the lies being told; the lack of interest on the part of Congress to act in the best interest of the people of this nation; the war in Ukraine and the potential for world-wide disaster; the increase in racism and homophobia; climate change and our abysmal failure to address it in any meaningful ways; the failure of people to understand that COVID is NOT over; the alarming increase in the ownership of guns and their use, and much more.  However, the one that kept me awake last night was the whitewashing of history in the nation’s schools, prompted by racist individuals and supported by government…

Carta Capital desnuda padrão de dupla moral dos países ricos: intensa pressão para abrir mineração em áreas indígenas da Amazônia brasileira! — Barbara Crane Navarro

(…) A despeito da necessária pressão da comunidade internacional para que o Brasil cuide melhor de suas florestas, os governos de alguns desses países atuam, nos bastidores, para liberar a mineração em terras indígenas, com inevitáveis e irreversíveis impactos sobre os biomas brasileiros. Embaixadores, empresários e lobistas, principalmente da Austrália, do Canadá, dos EUA e […] […]
