Daily Observation

Sudan seems to have gained prosperity

Yet, two generals grabbed their opportunity

To gain priority through violence

It may threaten all positive development

Good People Doing Good Things — Ginny Schrappen

Filosofa's Word

This week’s good people post is a bit different than my usual fare, but it’s a story that touched my heart, even brought a tear to my eye, and I hope you will find it inspiring, too.

Ginny Schrappen was in her mid-fifties back in 1998 when one day her church deacon handed her a letter.  It was from a man in prison who was just hoping to find someone … anyone … who would take a few minutes to write back to him.  Ginny did write back and their letter-writing continued for 25 years until earlier this month when Ginny finally got to meet her long-term pen pal face-to-face, hug-to-hug.

Ginny’s pen pal is Lamar Johnson, a man who was wrongfully convicted in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1994.  Johnson had been convicted of murder for the October 1994 killing of Marcus Boyd, who was shot dead on his front…

GLAAD STATEMENT ON PASSAGE OF ANTI-TRANSGENDER SPORTS BILL IN U.S. HOUSE | GLAAD

“Legislators who voted today in favor of banning transgender girls from participating in school sports should be ashamed of themselves. Right now, gun violence is the number one cause of death to American children, yet extremist lawmakers ignore this reality to push bills that further endanger and isolate LGBTQ youth who just want to be themselves and play with their friends. Legislators have an obligation to stand up for all, not just some, of their constituents. Allowing students to participate in sports is about equal opportunity, the ability to make friends and belong, and stay active, healthy and happy. Young transgender people should not have to watch lawmakers debate their basic humanity. Legislators must meet with transgender youth, their families, teammates, and coaches who would be harmed by this dangerous legislation; propose ways to protect all youth; and stop pushing anti-LGBTQ discrimination in a phony attempt to protect women and girls. Protect all kids and let them play.”

¡La Tierra y los pueblos Indigenas se están muriendo por nuestra obsesión por el oro! ¡Elige el derecho a la vida sobre las ganancias del oro! — Barbara Crane Navarro

foto: Barrick Gold Corporation El oro es una reliquia colonial que debemos reconocer urgentemente como esencialmente sin valor: la deforestación, la contaminación y los impactos catastróficos en el agua, la vida silvestre y las comunidades indígenas son en su mayoría para productos financieros y joyas frívolas y superficiales. La única función útil del oro, alrededor […]
