APHORISM (0046)
Shorebirds are special. Let’s show up for them!
Across the Caribbean region, and right around the world, citizen scientists, ornithologists, students, naturalists, conservationists, bird-lovers and birdwatchers, and environmentalists will be searching for shorebirds. World Shorebirds Day is Tuesday, September 6, 2022 and the period when the bird counters will be counting is from September 1 to 7.
Shorebirds are quite enchanting birds, all shapes and sizes. They were my first introduction to birding, when my father used to take us children down to the chilly, often wet and windy British seashore (usually in winter time) so that he could watch distant birds down on the mudflats of the south coast. Of course, he was the only one with binoculars! We children used to stand around, cold, bored, and longing to go home. But the shorebirds held a magic for my Dad – as they do now, for me.

El poema de los minutos y de las horas

Los minutos y las horas son palabras silenciosas, péndulos que columpian pedazos de vida, lenguaje y susurros de engranajes y de maquinaria que trabajan de día y de noche, poemas que el tiempo escribe cuando se siente inspirado. Los instantes, cuando callan, dicen tanto; los momentos, al hablar, suelen ocultarse. Los segundos guardan tantos mensajes. El tiempo es un libro que uno aprende a leer cotidianamente con la idea de no extraviarse y seguir un camino, una ruta. Los minutos que otros desdeñan y malbaratan, algunos los transforman en puentes y sendas para transitar al otro extremo, a la orilla donde finaliza la temporalidad y empieza el infinito. El tiempo es un canto que escucho siempre, aunque unos y otros, por modernidad, pretendan suprimir sus manecillas infatigables. El tiempo, dicen, marca huellas en los rostros, en la piel, en…

Relacionamento abusivo
É comum em nome do amor, as pessoas criarem expectativas em relação as outras. Quando se ama, tem essa coisa da idealização do parceiroou da parceira. As mulheres, principalmente, tentam associar amor, o cuidado, a dedicação e o carinho ao homem ( amado). Afinal, a vida inteira, querendo ou não, é necessário dizer que, a mulher é preparada para encontrar o homem, o parceiro ideal ( o príncipe encantado), que a fará feliz. Um homem que dentre muitas qualidades, terá a capacidade de enxergar as suas obviamente.
Não é à toa que, muitas mulheres querem construir uma relação sólida, ao encontrar alguém que exalte as qualidades, e que a ame do jeito que são, elas esquecem de considerar fatores importantes, pelo simples fato de se sentirem confiantes. Mas o que essas mulheres esquecem é que, muito do que elas fantasiam, não se transforma em realidade. Ainda assim persistem na tentava…

Mary Peltola, the Democrat Who Could Become the First Alaska Native in Congress – The New York Times
PLAYING WITH FIRE
Irreparable harm appears to lie in wait for us if the Republican shenanigans take hold in our country. The situation gets wilder and wilder with the passage of time and the approach of elections. I speak of what is being done to the ragtag of our public schools and the profession of medicine. I don’t refer to the Mir-a-lego combustion. Hopefully that is being attended to elsewhere.
My first concern is the eradication of sex education in the public schools. Why did we ever begin sex education? All those issues will become caustic again. What is this? Along with forced abortions we’re not going to warn children? How dark! Not only did unwanted pregnancies cry out for sex education, but also vulnerability to child sexual abuse. “A third of sexually abused children are abused before the age of nine.” (Finkelhor, 1986, p 229). “Stranger danger” wasn’t a joke.
Equally as…
