Everything we do

Sometimes we confuse a part of what we do with our entire life. Our life is everything we do, we experience, with all ourselves.

The Week’s Best Cartoons 2/19

Filosofa's Word

Once again, TokyoSand has scoured the ‘net and come up with some very apt cartoons that tell in few or no words what was on our minds and in our news this past week.  Thank you, TS, for all your hard work in many areas!


While there was plenty of drama here at home, I must admit I was more preoccupied by what was happening overseas. It appears our cartoonists were, too. Here At Home By Matt Davies By Clay Bennett By Mike Luckovich By Ann Telnaes By Clay Jones By Clay Bennett By Marc Murphy By…

Ann and Anna, (serial short story, Part 21): River

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

        Part  20 (Into The Night), was last Sunday…

       Our ride in the carriage, that night, seated back to back as Anna and I were, was at least sure against the winter chill.  I’d laid an extra blanket over little Tilly, then snuggled back up against Anna.  At some point during our ride, she had turned to cradle me in her arms as we slept.  I awoke nuzzling the inside of her neck, and rose with a start, as I saw our Tilly observing me.  My cheeks began to burn as I wondered how long she might have been awake.

 

“It’s ok, Miss Willow.  Your servant Joe Wright is here to keep us safe, Missus.”

 

I was so relieved, I hardly knew what to say.  “Oh, Tilly, you don’t need to play our game here.  We are alone.”

” Violência não tem desculpa, tem consciência, coragem para denunciar e LEI”

Essa blusa, irá fazer parte de um projeto pessoal, onde assim como, muitas outras, vou trabalhar a questão da violência contra a mulher. Já tem algum tempo que, vinha pensando numa maneira de fazer com que ideias boas ( ideias que sirvam ao combater a violência), se espalhe por aí, e que o seu resultado, ajude essas vítima da violência, a ter capacidade de refletir sobre a sua própria realidade.

É sabido que todas nós mulheres, estamos sujeitas a sofrer, ou seja, vir a ser ( uma vítima a mais da violência) a violência que acontece principalmente da ” porta pra dentro” que é a violência doméstica. Mas não é…

There are multiple apps for everything – so how do you choose?

All of them want to make money somehow from your decision to use them. So how to choose?

Look at how many stars or hearts they get in ratings such as those which are listed on physical sale items?

Have they been or are being investigated or settled/paid fine(s) for breaking state or federal laws, regulations or orders?

I can see using online buying of mass produced items like a cell phone, canned food, spices, or cleaners… But buying mental health counseling, budgeting credit or debt counseling online?

No easy answer.

My rules? 1. Wait a day or two and then reconsider if any app would work better than doing the work/research myself. 2. Search App X problems or complaints. 3. Ask someone whose judgment I trust for a recommendation. 4. Wait another day or two and remember that all apps want to make money off of my using them.
