We Set the Bar for Others

NANMYKEL.COM

GRIM. SHAME. ALMOST UNFORGIVEABLE…The United States has set the bar for the world to follow? It’s things like this that almost makes me hate:

Per the New York Times, Bolsonara’s followers in Brzail are rioting, claiming that their election was rigged. Sound familiar? Bad continuing bad, and spreading. Many Americans are still not contrite that we’re responsible for having crafted a lethal pandemic of lying.

Violência Doméstica

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A sociedade desaprova a violência doméstica.

Bem, pelo menos grande parte das pessoas não tolera esse tipo de crueldade cometida contra a mulher. Então vamos ajudar a denunciar esses casos? Eu, você…qualquer pessoa ao constatar que uma esteja sendo agredida pode denunciar. Procure ter todos telefones das delegacias em seu celular, batalhão e outros contatos que possam contribuir diante de situações como essa.
Mulherada, criem estratégias na hora que tiverem sofrendo agressões. Se possível, ligue para a delegacia, peça uma pizza! 🍕 Um policial atento vai compreender o que você está narrando. É um pedido de socorro que você tem que saber elaborar.

Fique atenta!..

Uma imagem fala mais do que mil palavras

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Uma imagem fala mais do que mil palavras”, Confúcio.

Essa é uma frase bastante usual ainda hoje, e tem uma comunicação simbólica muito forte, que acaba tendo mais validade do argumentos e provas concretas para não só transmitir a ideia de veracidade, como o real sentido dela, que é a percepção falada através da imagem. Agora, você deve perguntar por que eu trouxe a imagem de uma mulher bonita para trabalhar essa afirmação? Porque “o feminino ainda é visto pelo lado simbólico e também o da sexualidade”, como afirma Freud em muitos de seus escritos. O olhar evolutivo e histórico sobre o tema, só reforça a ideia de que, o ser humano já não cabe somente numa expressão como essa que serviu a sua época. E hoje principalmente, por conta de tantas mudanças sociais e culturais que vivemos na sociedade. Claro que mesmo diante dessas mudanças, há resistência…

Why do I write? Here are four reasons…

Petchary's Blog

The “why?” question is always the tricky one. This was the Bloganuary prompt though, and I will do my best with it.

Reason Number One: As most writers will say, I write mostly for myself. As I noted in my previous Bloganuary post, writing brings me joy. I am not always happy with my writing, but when it is finished, there is a feeling of accomplishment. Whether anyone reads it or not is quite immaterial, I tell myself. This is actually how I started to write my blog – all of twelve years ago. I wanted to practice my writing, and I wanted to see how it looked in a blog format. It was a terrible struggle at first, as WordPress was certainly not as user-friendly as it is now! But once I got started and had things in place, I became almost spiritually attached to my keyboard and…
