Progress — oh, you thrilling and unhinging thing — I finished writing my book, yes, I started recording an audio version via a compact homemade audiobooth (thank you, Mother Nature, for cooler days), and then there were setbacks of sorts.

All last week, I couldn’t figure out why, oh, why, my voice…

Conexão

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Quando duas pessoas se amam, elas se conectam uma a outra através da alma. O amor verdadeiro busca a luz que emana do íntimo, do espirito, e tudo aquilo que representa a essência do ser humano. E como eu sei isso? Através da empatia. Quando a alma de duas pessoas se conectam, a razão principal que as mantém juntas, não é o interesse que nutre a pele, ou o sexo, mas os sentimentos. O amor está associado a autencidade, ao respeito, a benevolência. É por esse motivo que, dentre outras coisas, a conexão ocorre nessa linha imaginaria do pensar, do ato de sentir; mas sentir, antes mesmo de ocorrer o tato, que é dado através de pele com pele. A conexão, o envolver, dar-se no enlace entre as duas almas.

Marii Freire. Conexão

Mike Pence Says Stripping Women of Rights More Important Than Midterm Gains (Me: Can’t be any more clear how anti- women’s rights the GOP are…)

Former Vice President Mike Pence says he believes implementing a national abortion ban and continuing the conservative fight to restrict bodily autonomy for women “is profoundly more important than any short-term politics.”

The comments came in an interview with RealClearPolitics, during which Pence urged his fellow Republicans not to “shrink from the fight” after some GOP legislators distanced themselves from an effort by South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham to implement a national abortion ban. Some Republicans are wary that a push for a federal ban could galvenize pro-choice voters in the Novemeber midterms and cost them highly coveted legislative seats.

It’s a given, surely, that the voice of youth must be heard, loud and clear, on all matters related to the environment and climate change. After all, they are inheriting the Planet that the older generations have made quite a mess of. I was especially pleased and proud to hear the voice of Jamaican youth […]
