EXCELLENT Essay: Empire after Empire: The Endless Desert of Settler Indigenisation in Nomadland — Patrick Turner — New Critique – And the Settler Indigenisation in most of the films from Hollywood we’ve seen all of our lives…

Barbara Crane Navarro

“Ultimately, Nomadland’s affective impact, and the sense of authenticity felt in McDormand’s performance should be understood within a colonialist standard of authenticity rooted in the indigenisation of whiteness – and the erasure of Indigenoussovereignty.”

“Man’s folly hath enhanced the value of gold and silver because of their scarcity; whereas nature, like a kind parent, hath freely given us the best things, such as air, earth, and water, but hath hidden from us those which are vain and useless.” Thomas More, “Utopia” book II – 1516

Systematic Europeanconquest and colonization of the Americasbegan in 1492 and is ongoing.The compelling motivation was then, and continues to be, exploitation. The ascension of wealth in Europe depended on plundered gold, diamonds and other riches at the expense of the degradation of nature and the subjugation of indigenous peoples…

Quando quem lhe devia oferecer proteção, na verdade, é um abusador

Vivaldi translation of title: When someone who should offer you protection is actually an abuser

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A sociedade sempre nos fez acreditar na ideia do homem protetor. Desde as histórias infantis, nós mulheres somos bombardeadas com informações que nos parecem verdadeiras. Quem não lembra da clássica cena da princesa no alto de uma torre? A mulher como sempre, é colocada como um ser frágil, como alguém que precisa de proteção do seu ” salvador” . Quem é esse homem? É o cavalheiro que surge em seu mundo, para lhe tirar do ” inacessível ” e lhe oferecer um mundo de oportunidades. ” ERA UMA VEZ…”

As histórias infantis são muito lindas e ao mesmo tempo, encantadoras. Mas a verdade, é que tudo isso, acaba representando uma grande armadilha mental para a mulher, porque não a ensina viver no mundo real, onde ela tem que aprender a se defender dos perigos. Nós mulheres, poderíamos ser poupadas de tantas histórias cor- de-rosa, e educadas mais para o mundo…

California bans state-funded travel to Ohio over religion law | The Sacramento Bee

California is banning state-funded travel to Ohio over the state’s new law allowing doctors to decline medical services to people on moral or religious grounds.

The Ohio measure triggered a 2016 California law that requires the attorney general to prohibit state-funded travel to states that discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, according to a Friday press release from California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

The ban takes effect Sept. 30, according to the release. Ohio will become the 18th state to which California won’t pay for travel, according to the release.

Ohio legislators tucked the provision into a massive budget bill, House Bill 110, that was recently passed.

The provision’s language is broad, allowing not just doctors but nurses, counselors, social workers, researchers, pharmacists and others to deny services if they have a “conscience-based objection” to the specific service requested.

Thoughts on the Throne

NANMYKEL.COM

Will you think less of me if I

tell you most of my thoughts come while

sitting on the throne, like Rodin?

Today it came to me how like

trying to milk a cow is the

urgency of writing a poem.

You see, as a child I never

got the hang of correct milking,

and as an elder never tried.

A small library has sprouted

in my throne room, and I keep on

planning

to install

a photo

Of Rodin

on the wall.

Consumers Failing to be a part of the Circular Economy

FunWritings

When consumers are not aware of the need for environmental care

They don’t believe it is important for them to have clean water and air

They don’t know that the world’s resources might be depleted one day

And they won’t be able to keep on buying products in the same old way

shopping

Old electronics are piling up in many places around the world now

We need to build environmental protection awareness somehow

Approximately 20% of the electronic waste is being recycled these days

It would be good if more people would be willing to treat the environment in great ways

We can create more green jobs for each other and economies can recover

After the virus caused so much devastation on the planet

A plan to create jobs in a new way won’t leave us with regret

And if we should repair and reuse…
