Mulher — Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Um dos grades desafios feminos é pensar; pensar em contigencia ao tempo atual. Uma mulher não pode ser um objeto precioso a ser modificado pelo tempo, cultura, ou pertencer ao cerne do desprivilegio nos espaços culturais. Não, ela precisa ser dona da sua história, sem sofrer subordinação ou formas variadas de discriminação. A contemporaneidade tem […]

Parashat Metzorah, Healing Houses, and Caring for People

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

     This week’s Torah portion,  Metzorah,  is  over halfway (28th/54 or 52, depending on the year: this year, it’s 54…) through the annual cycle, and the 5th Parashah in the book of Vayikra/Leviticus.

   This portion deals with more diagnosis: still the equivalent of modern Universal Health Care (and who’d have thought that the Cohanim were doctors?).  Who knew that even a house could be ill, and this, again, before the idea of Sick Building Syndrome came about, huh?    queen_anne_style_house2c_rockville2c_md2c_1892_-_q7986018 Interesting, no?

         What could equity of responsibility and citizenry look like, if every person had proper health care, and everyone had a safe home? health_pictogram

  I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter, Thoughtful Readers.

We can really  Do Better.

-Shira

The Missed Poem #poetry #blogging #friends — penned in moon dust

The Week’s Best Cartoons 4/9

Filosofa's Word

I seem to lack motivation today … so I decided to share TokyoSand’s weekly political cartoon post with you rather than subject you to my own ill humour.  The main topics of the day, of course, are the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Russian war against Ukraine.  Be sure to follow the link at the end to see the rest of the ‘toons, for this is only a small sampling.  Thank you, TS!!!


The Week’s Best Cartoons 4/9

This week spanned the emotions — the highs of Ketanji Brown Jackson being confirmed for the Supreme Court and lows of the conflict in Ukraine.

See all the ‘toons at TokyoSand’s Political Charge!
