Tell Congress: No National Abortion Ban

Ever since Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022, abortion policies and reproductive rights have been in the hands of each state. But with the election in November, and Donald Trump headed towards the Republican nomination, abortion is once again on the ballot nationwide.

A recent leak from Trump’s campaign exposed that he backs a 16-week national abortion ban.

PIÉNSAME – Ventana literaria

PIÉNSAME

Que tus letras
recorran mi existencia
y la distancia sea ese beso
coordinando tu ausencia
con la esencia de mi piel,
escribiendo la historia
en el momento menos esperado
haciéndome un lugar en tu corazón.

LMML.
THINK ME

that your letters
walk through my existence
and the distance be that kiss
coordinating your absence
with the essence of my skin,
writing the story
in the moment less expected
making a place for me in your heart.

LMML.

Norway agrees to compensate Indigenous people over land for Europe’s largest onshore wind farm | Euronews

The wind farm fought against by Greta Thunberg will keep operating with compensation paid to Sami reindeer herders.

Norway on Wednesday reached an agreement with the Sami people, ending a nearly three-year dispute over Europe’s largest onshore wind farm and the Indigenous right to raise reindeer.

Under the agreement, the partially state-owned farm’s 151 turbines stay in operation. Energy Minister Terje Aasland said the deal includes “a future-oriented solution that safeguards the reindeer farming rights.”

The agreement also has compensation for the Sami – including a share of energy produced – along with a new area for winter grazing and a grant of 5 million kroner (€439,000) for strengthening Sami culture.

7 Photos of Stork Nest Mural by Oriol Arumí in Lleida, Spain | STREET ART UTOPIA

Stork Nest – By Oriol Arumí in Lleida, Spain

Oriol Arumí: This has been one of the works I have enjoyed the most, for being a wall that has been looking at me with desire for ten years, for having been able to paint a subject with which I am one hundred percent in tune, and for having received so many samples of affection, by pedestrians. I am deeply grateful to the association of residents of the neighborhood noguerola-estació-segre, and very specifically to Oriol Berenguer, for the commission and for overcoming all obstacles. And of course, thank you Sam once again for the help with the paint brushes and barrels.

First, thanks to Fan Artist  AMClaussen, for posting this work of fan art in today’s Featured Image.

I have read The Hunger Games books, all except for the new prequel, now, in several languages, but it is still a good read and a great listen.

परिभाषा / Definition – Kaushal Kishore

 

मैं ने कागज पर उकेरा था 

एक गुलाब का फूल,

लेकिन उसमें उभर आई 

तुम्हारी मुस्काती तस्वीर,

मैं ने बदल दिया है इसलिए

अब गुलाब की परिभाषा…

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I had sketched 

a rose flower on paper, 

your joyful image 

emerged within it

I’ve redefined now 

the meaning of a rose…
