” Não quero mais esta vida,

Não quero mais esta terra,

Vou procurá-la bem longe,

Lá para as bandas da serra.

Ai! triste que eu sou escravo!

Que vale ter coração?

Chora, chora na viola,

Violeiro do sertão.

बंद आंखें / Closed Eyes

हर बंद आंख सोती नहीं,और हर खुली आँखदेखती नहीं,लेकिन जब हम बंद करते हैंअपनी आँखें,ध्यान करने के लिए,हम वह देखते हैं,जो अन्यथा नहीं देख पाते… 👀👀👀👀…

The Fake Request for a Wedding Website at the Heart of SCOTUS’ Anti-LGBTQ Ruling – Mother Jones

If you believe the story told by court documents filed by ADF, the very day after opening her case, Smith received an inquiry through her website from a potential client named Stewart. “My fiancee is Mike,” Stewart ostensibly wrote. “We are getting married early next year and would love some done for our invites, placenames etc. We might also stretch to a website.”

It apparently took six years for anyone to verify the identity of Stewart, whose phone number and website appear unredacted in court documents. When Melissa Gira Grant of the New Republic texted him last week, Stewart—who is real, and lives in California—was “flabbergasted,” as he later told the Washington Post.

Stewart, as it turns out, is a graphic designer himself. He’s straight and has been married for 15 years to a woman, he informed Grant. And he had never submitted a request for design services to Smith, he told her. Grant wrote:

I don’t live inside Stewart’s computer—there’s a chance that he’s not telling me the whole story; that this is some elaborate prank he pulled years ago and doesn’t want to confess to now. But if he’s telling the truth—that this request was done completely without his knowledge—I don’t have any answers for him. None of this makes sense to me.
