De malinha pronta

If you never say goodbye to the best things in your life there are things you don’t appreciate at all.

Lighthouse Family

Smell the sea and feel the sky.

Van Morrison

There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.

Victor Hugo

It’s hard to tell the difference between sea and sky, between voyager and sea. Between reality and the workings of the heart.

Eco

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Entre as pedras,

Corre uma nesga de vida,

Maravilhosa e esplêndida é a vida!

Que se adapta aos lugares mais inóspitos do planeta.

De nascentes,

Lagos,

Mares,

Oceanos

Cascatas

Regos…

Sob a luz da lua…

e o calor do sol..

Em lugares scondidos ou admiráveis,

A vida assegura a sua ordem!..

Ela não pede licença,

nem discorda de nada,

– simplesmente- passa

Deixando um escandaloso eco de alegria

Lesbian Parents in the US Should Not Need to Adopt Their Own Children | Human Rights Watch

The case of a lesbian mother in Oklahoma fighting for legal parenthood of her child demonstrates what happens when states get to decide which rights queer people deserve. In January 2022, an Oklahoma court removed Kris Williams from her child’s birth certificate, replacing it with the name of the sperm donor, who is now petitioning for custody of Williams’ son.

Williams and her wife Rebekah Wilson conceived their child in 2019, and her wife gave birth. When the couple filed for divorce two years later, Wilson petitioned the court to remove Williams from the birth certificate. The judge ruled in favor, stating that as the non-gestational mother, Williams had “failed to pursue a legal remedy to establish parental rights.” According to the judge, Williams should have adopted her own son. The court will rule on legal parentage at an August hearing.

Supreme Court rulings in 2015 and 2017 afforded same-sex couples the same parental rights and responsibilities as different-sex couples. The Oklahoma court’s assertions in Williams’ case deny her the rights granted to married different-sex couples. The case highlights the persistent precarity of legal parenthood for lesbians, particularly those who do not give birth to their children.

Anthony Fauci says Paxlovid kept him out of hospital despite rebound in COVID-19 – UPI.com

“I think there is understandable confusion when people hear about people rebounding,” Fauci told the Times. “Don’t confuse that with the original purpose of what Paxlovid is meant for. It’s not meant to prevent you from rebounding. It’s meant to prevent you from being hospitalized. I’m 81 years old, I was at risk for hospitalization and I didn’t even come close to being sick enough to be hospitalized.”
