Laissez les bons temps rouler
Let the good times roll y’all! Today is Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday! Grab your purple, green, and gold because there is a lot to this day’s celebration than you can imagine. There is so much history and diverse cultures rolled up into this event, and instead of boring you by writing down snippets of the history, and tradition, clickHEREto be directed to that site.
While the pandemic changed the way we celebrate this festival, it certainly cannot take away the heart and spirit of the passion and meaning since the first Mardi Gras was celebrated on March 3, 1699. So in the words of the Cajun French, “Laissez les bons temps rouler” (Let the good times roll)!
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. If you observe the Lenten season, do not take your focus off of what the next…

The solace for young Russians like me is that Putin is also digging his own grave in Ukraine | Sergey Faldin | The Guardian
You have to understand that ordinary people in Russia are scared out of their minds. On the first day of the conflict, almost 1,000 protesters were jailed across Russia for walking outside with as little as a piece of paper that said: “I don’t want war.” According to the independent media source OVD-info, in the first four days of the war more than 5,200 people were arrested.
My friend spent time in jail for walking down the same street as the protesters. A professor of sociology, Grigory Yudin, was arrested in the centre of Moscow and reportedly beaten up in the back of an autozak (police bus).
There are now more police teams than I can count – with new names such as Rosgvardiya (Russia’s internal military force) – and they are ruthless. These forces were created several years ago specifically to wander the streets of Moscow (and other cities) and prevent anything “suspicious” from happening.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re an 18-year-old kid or a pregnant middle-aged woman, they’ll beat you up, put you in a wagon and take you in for questioning. When you have a former KGB agent in charge, you have a country that functions as an enormous jail.
It is painfully clear to us that this war is absolutely pointless. Putin is using false history lessons, lamenting the fall of the Soviet Union, and making claims about Nato advancing its forces simply to justify his own madness. I believe that the true answer to the question people ask on social media – “how did we get to this?” – is that Putin is insane.
More than 6,000 arrests in Russia during protests over Ukraine war, says human rights group | Euronews
Demonstrators have been prepared to risk being taken away by police on a daily basis since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last Thursday.
The protests show little sign of abating despite a police crackdown.
The OVD-Info human rights group that tracks political arrests says there have been 6,440 detentions in anti-war demonstrations in different cities across the country.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov sought to downplay the scale of the protests, saying that while Putin “hears everyone’s opinion”, he also knows “the share of those who have a different point of view and those who are sympathetic to such a necessary operation”.
Groups of protesters in St Petersburg were seen being detained by riot police on Monday.
Cea mai fericită fată din lume
În atâtea și atâtea zile de vineri i-am adresat, intenționat sau nu, un mic semn de venerație celei care se bucură de o considerabilă putere și influență în galeria zeităților greco-romane.

Am nădăjduit să mă învețe cele mai infailibile metode de seducție,

să mi le confirme pe cele deja știute,

să-i împărtășesc secrete extravagante

și am hărțuit-o prin muzee,

în cărți

și pe cer.

Cititorii în stele deslușiseră odinioară,

în Mesopotamia,

că interacțiunea ei fastă cu alte astre ne dăruiește forță, înflăcărare, elan, entuziasm, dorințe.

Am petrecut mult timp cu Afrodita/Venus, chiar dacă, uneori, conversația se lega cam greu,

mai ales dacă se nimerea ca ea să aterizeze prea de departe, din preistorie.

Însă cele care parcurg cale lungă au povești de neînchipuit.

Planturoasa de la Lespugue, din sudul Franței,

a străbătut douăzeci și șase de mii de ani.

Printre admiratorii ei declarați se numărau Picasso și Giacometti, cărora le-a…

Deforestación y devastación de tierras indígenas en la Amazonía – ¡Esto es lo que podemos hacer para ayudar en cualquier parte del mundo!

«Durante muchos años los líderes y pueblos indígenas de la Amazonía les hemos advertido a ustedes, nuestros hermanos, que tanto daño han causado a nuestros bosques.
Lo que hagas cambiará el mundo entero y destruirá nuestro hogar, y también destruirá tu hogar.
Presidente Bolsonaro de Brasil incentiva agro-negocios
y buscadores de oro para limpiar el bosque – y él no hace nada para evitar que invadan nuestro territorio.
Hace solo una generación, muchas de nuestras tribus luchaban, pero ahora estamos juntos, luchando juntos contra nuestro enemigo común. Y ese enemigo común sois vosotros, los pueblos no indígenas que han invadido nuestras tierras y ahora están destruyendo incluso esas pequeñas partes de los bosques donde vivimos que nos dejaste.
Les pedimos que dejen de hacer lo que están haciendo, que detengan la destrucción, que detengan su ataque a los espíritus de la Tierra. Cuando cortas los árboles…
