Seja sempre de verdade

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Seja sempre de verdade

Seja sempre de verdade. Não viva, ou vista personagens para agradar à quem. Ser de verdade, custa um ” bocadinho mais caro” mas acredite: ” magistralmente, a medida que você se posiciona, você ganha espaço, e não ‘cede espaço para ninguém’. Você expõem o que pensa com mais clareza, participa o que deseja aos que ama, sem medo do desconforto. A medida que, passa a agir dessa maneira, torna-se, um ser humano mais consciente e ” legitimo” em todas as maneiras de agir.
Você sonha? Claro, todos sonhamos. Então, procure encurtar as dificuldades que tornam distantes, a possibilidade de realizar aquilo que você quer. Estude.Tenho foco, vá até o limite final. E se as pessoas rirem de você, por duvidar da sua capacidade, sabe o que você faz? Ignore-as. Continue acreditando na sua força. Insista. Se faltar aplausos, comece você mesmo a se aplaudir. Quanto não…

Dulce De Leche Turtle Bars

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Cheerful Choices: Dulce de Leche Turtle Bars! So today we learn that Dulce de Leche is another name for slow-cooked caramelized milk. And before you scroll down, I assure you it’s one of the easiest toppings you’ll ever make, and certainly worth your time. It’s Heaven in a jar….lusciously sweet and creamy. However, if you make it too far in advance, the most difficult challenge will come when you get the urge to dip a spoon into the jar to drizzle the decadent sauce over a scoop of ice cream. I know what you’re thinking…..but, Gail, it’s only one spoonful. Amirite? Don’t do it. Otherwise you’ll need another can of sweetened condensed milk for these turtle bars.

DULCE DE LECHE TURTLE BARS

Ingredients for the Crust:

2 cups flour

1/3 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup butter, softened

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Good Grief Snarky Snippets

Filosofa's Word

There are more ‘good grief, Charlie Brown’ moments in the news these days than I can shake a stick at!  That must mean it’s time for an angst-relieving (or angst-inducing, whichever way you look at it) snarky snippets post, eh?


Josh Hawley’s mug on a mug

Junior Senator Josh Hawley from the ‘show-me’ state of Missouri, has taken the respectability of his position to yet another all-time low.  Perhaps you remember Mr. Hawley’s blatant support of the insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, as he walked by and gave them a smile, a wave, and a ‘fist pump.’  Well, today he is turning that hateful symbol into profit … for himself!

The mug shown above can be yours for only $20, the profits going to Mr. Hawley himself, of course! Hawley claims that this cup is his way of “owning the libs,” whatever the…

N.Y.C. Fires 1,430 Workers Over Vaccine Mandate – The New York Times

New York City fired 1,430 city workers on Friday for failing to comply with its vaccine mandate, a figure that represent less than 1 percent of the city’s work force, but likely the nation’s largest mass termination of municipal employees in response to a Covid vaccine mandate.

Mayor Eric Adams announced on Monday that 1,428 workers, who had already been on unpaid leave for months, were sent termination notices after they failed to receive a first dose of the vaccine. Two newer hires, who faced more stringent requirements, were also fired for failing to receive two vaccine doses. Nearly 4,000 city workers had faced a deadline of Friday to comply with the vaccine mandate.

Opinion | When ‘Freedom’ Means the Right to Destroy – The New York Times

In reality, there don’t seem to have been many truckers among the protesters at the bridge (about 90 percent of Canadian truckers are vaccinated). Last week a Bloomberg reporter saw only three semis among the vehicles blocking the Ambassador Bridge, which were mainly pickup trucks and private cars; photos taken Saturday also show very few commercial trucks.

The Teamsters union, which represents many truckers on both sides of the border, has denounced the blockade.

So this isn’t a grass-roots trucker uprising. It’s more like a slow-motion Jan. 6, a disruption caused by a relatively small number of activists, many of them right-wing extremists. At their peak, the demonstrations in Ottawa reportedly involved only around 8,000 people, while numbers at other locations have been much smaller.

ore de drum

Cairo, Luxor, Abu Simbel, 2018

Dedesubturile relațiilor amoroase ale faraonilor au fost întoarse pe toate fețele de către egiptologi, iar eu am încercat să deslușesc în priviri și gesturi, cu ajutorul cărților citite înainte și după călătoria în Egipt, pasiunea, dorința, nerăbdarea, tristețea, încrederea, speranțele.

Faraonul nu ducea lipsă de companie. Demoazele grațioase, drapate minimal în veșminte fine apar în basoreliefurile sculptate în temple,

în grupurile statuare din exterior, în postările murale din străfundurile monumentelor funerare, pe elemente de mobilier,

pe partea interioară a sarcofagelor,

în scene de natură să-i inspire pe mai-mari în lumea de apoi.

Îl vedem adeseori alături de marea soție regală,

de cel puțin trei soții principale, secundare, de concubine, favorite, fiice și soții de notabili, fiice de căpatenii străine trimise la curte în scopuri diplomatice, care-l ajutau să profite în modul cel mai rafinat posibil de plăcerile simțurilor.

Din prevedere, demnitarii cu soții frumoase se…

Exacto, quieren callarlos y borrar sus expresiones humanas

Exacto, quieren callar a los niños, borrar sus expresiones humanas, diluir sus sonrisas, desaparecer sus sentimientos, dejarlos sin familias, vaciarlos, alterar y contaminar sus sueños, arrebatarles su inocencia, su creatividad, sus ideales, para procesarlos y volverlos productos en serie, robots, seres desprovistos de convicciones, iniciativa, seguridad, principios, memoria y porvenir. ¿Seremos capaces, nosotros, los adultos, de proseguir cómodos e indiferentes, atrapados en nuestros apetitos, estulticia y superficialidades, mientras alguien, y otros más, preparan una trampa mortal a niños, adolescentes y jóvenes? ¿Acaso vale más perder el tiempo en el encanto fraudulento y en el hechizo engañoso de las redes sociales y en tantos asuntos baladíes, que dedicar atención a los hijos y hacer de la familia un tesoro intocable?
