Sister, I wear your skin
I feel your unspoken pain
The anger of a simmering flame
I feel your fears
I see unshed tears
You have to fight to belong
You have to be strong
Sister, I feel the rape of honour
I feel my skin crawl at the destructive macabre .
Brother, I wear your skin
I feel the words in your throat
I feel you speaking bright, colored
I feel your heart beating
I feel your hope fleeting
I feel you tear inside
But then, you have to decide
You’d rather explode
And feel the inner applause .
I wear your skin
I wear all the metaphors for pain .

Ann and Anna, (serial short story, Part 3): Trust
Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
Part 2 was last Sunday…
The apple in my mouth turned to bile, as the smell of corn and tobacco mingled with the odor of my own fear. My entire body began to tremble, my hand shaking almost uncontrollably. It moved as if of its own accord, seeking out the solace of my sewing basket. What I began hours ago, I would finish, now, before those horses arrived, carrying a far worse fate with them. I was drawing the scissors out of my basket when a shadow fell across me. The moon had just come out, and Anna had stood up, still leaning against the wagon:
“Right on time.”
She looked from my wide eyes to my sewing basket, nodding toward my still bloody left forearm.
“You didn’t really think I’d stop here and just wait on those patrollers to…

Will Degrowth Replace Green Growth? — Heliocene

Degrowth is a ludicrous idea to many business people. Yet, it is beginning to be spoken about by science and non governmental business influencers who have strong mainstream credibility. This mirrors early patterns of attention given to climate change decades ago, when mass industrial decarbonisation seemed absurd. Degrowth Is The New Conversation What is Degrowth?[…]
Reflections on Indigenous Peoples’ Day: We Are The Dreams of Our Ancestors… What Future Are We Dreaming Into Reality? — SM(Art) Bombs Comics

‘La Madre Mariposa’ an original artwork by Laura R. Morris, 2021. Today is Indigenous People’s Day in the lands now known as the United States. I wish to express Gratitude to my Indigenous relatives. I recognize that my (mostly) European ancestors would have died had they not been shown mercy. Because of those first acts[…]
Esperança
Esperança
A virtude da esperança nos é inútil depois de um dias fatigantes.
Depois de conhecer acontecimentos que nos tira a calma, a paz e nos deixa enfadados .
A esperança é sempre necessária diante de nossas expectativas.
Esperar é sempre uma forma de respeito diante daquilo que a vida nos coloca. De certa forma, e (independente da situação), a consciência aqual se tem sobre a palavra esperança, nos fortifica ao despertar seguinte. Eu almejo, você almeja, e como alcançar? Fazendo a nossa parte para que os sonhos possam ganhar forçar e ir adiante, ou seja, se concretizar.
Há quem diga que se perdermos a esperança, se perde a bondade. Assim é, [se] considera!..
E… tudo nos falta, a vontade de sorrir…principalmente.
A consciência cresce, mas parece que sempre para o lado da desaprovação,
É inútil, inútil…
Tudo parece que anda lentamente!…
A ‘dolorosa consciência ‘, nos torna incomunicáveis com…

Leon County, Florida, Was Fined Millions for Its Vaccine Mandate. Folks Are Pissed.
Despite threats from the state, Leon County Administrator Vice Long instituted a vaccine requirement for his employees in July. On Oct. 6, the Florida Department of Health Division Director Douglas Woodlief notified Long he was in violation of the law after the county fired several employees for refusing to comply with the mandate.
Some state officials expressed their outrage over the fine. Rep. Ramon Alexander (D-Tallahassee) called it “an overreach of state government,” while Sen. Loranne Ausley (D-Tallahassee) blasted DeSantis for “spending his time punishing counties working to keep their citizens safe.”
“Unbelievable!” Ausley said in a statement. “We don’t need the State bullying our communities or private businesses who are simply trying to serve the people and get on the other side of this pandemic. It’s going to take all of us standing together to make this happen.”
Long said he hadn’t even heard about the health department’s decision until he saw media reports on it.
“There is a genuine disagreement about the applicability of the statute and rule, and the County will enforce its rights using any remedies available at law, if necessary,” Long said.
Leon County residents are also pissed about the fine.
“It’s all just political posturing,” Christopher Link, a Tallahassee resident, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday. “ It makes no sense and only hurts the taxpayer. The fact that the better good for the health of the state is so wrongly politicized is insane. The crazies have taken over, really.”
Another Tallahassee resident, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of professional retaliation, told The Daily Beast that she “wished the fight was against stopping the coronavirus—not against political leaders who feel like they have to appease their base.”
“This pandemic has been going on for over a year, and I’ve never really felt like the priority in Florida was about saving lives. Just careers,” the resident added.
