Big deal, I was going to “do some good” by publishing a weekly climate change update on my blog.  I did a little research on Google and found that large groups are covering the world climate change and their blogs are free, too.  I quit my original plan but will give you an idea of what’s elsewhere in much greater coverage than I could offer.  I may, however, post a few entries while not pretending they are comprehensive.  At the end of the following please note the essay by good friend Alexa Abercrombie Ross  

KEY CLIMATE CHANGE MEDIA OUTLETS

Just as Mainstream Media outlets are joining forces to create stronger climate change resources, so are these specialized outlets. Take a look at Collateral, a series on climate, data and science, which is a collaboration between Inside Climate News and The Weather Channel. And, if you are…

Last debates for president: Linezine (Brazil)

Final goal of the presidential campaign and everyone is attentive to the latest debates that will be held by SBT and Rede Globo. Many speculations and a certainty, Lula will not participate in the SBT debate that will air today (09/24/22). This absence, perhaps, does not scratch Lula’s electorate much, as the image of the former president is already consolidated and a slippage at this point could be very expensive.

In the last debate, when Bolsonaro questioned Lula about corruption schemes in the PT governments, what was seen was an unanswered candidate for questions. Bolsonaro did what he always does, he disrespected a woman. Journalist Vera Magalhães was Bolsonaro’s victim. This act was not well digested by journalism professionals and is still mentioned when it comes to presidential debate.

But, what is the PT’s bet for the SBT debate? Very simple: Bolsonaro, alone, will probably not endure the time of debate without committing other disrespectful attitudes towards anyone who confronts him. Bolsonaro can’t take pressure, he’s a shamro and terribly insubordinate. With these characteristics, it will certainly produce other regrettable scenes during the debate. Just wait and see, and in this way, whoever will win the debate without having gone, will be Lula who will not participate in these lowlands and will have his image unshakable and, to Bolsonaro’s despair, the advantage tends to amplify even more…

Ser Mulher

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Ser Mulher

Ser Mulher é uma das coisas mais difíceis na sociedade, onde você não é respeitada pelo que pensa. Você é sim, ” vista” pelos dois centímetros que separa o cérebro da barra da saia” . Desculpe-me a ironia, mas o corpo feminino continua sendo ” coisificado”. Quer um exemplo escancarado do que estou afirmando? Você pode ser ” phoda” no que faz, ter o melhor diploma desse país, falar quantas línguas quiser. Mas historicamente falando, a mulher, ocupa espaços mínimos da sociedade. E sabe o que estou dizendo isso? Porque a mulher continua fazendo jus a um lugar de desprestígio nos carnes sociais. As que mais aparecem, são aquelas que ajustaram a ” bainha da saia” . A mulher só é “vista” – entenda, vista não é a mesma coisa que “reconhecida” se colocar um anteprojeto de saia mostrando as amígdalas. Não julgo nenhuma destas, até porque grande…

Pérola

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

E às vezes para você obtê-la, é preciso um cuidado especial, pois o processo é longo. Na maioria das vezes, começa sempre por uma conversa genuína, até chegar a essência que se acredita ter o ser humano. Não raro, são as perdas. Sim, acontecem com naturalidade perante algumas situações. Mas, não desistimos, pois que sentido teria a vida, sem esse grande feito do homem? Conseguir finalmente, extrair essa pérola é uma das nossas grandes experiências nessa vida. Ora, eu e você, gostamos de criar vínculos afetivos, é ou não é? É esse detalhe que torna vida interessante. Então, quando você consegue tocar no mundo outro, de forma que ele/ ela também se permite ser tocado ( a), é nesse instante que você compreende o quanto isso é precioso, porque é o momento em que uma pessoa se conecta verdadeiramente com a outra. Difícil imaginar como se tocar pérola? Até você…

Saturday Surprise — Animal Art!

Filosofa's Word

Good Saturday morning, my friends!  After this past week, I bet you’re ready to step away from the political scene, from the news-making events, and find something fun and relaxing to start the weekend, yes?  Well, look no further!  I have just the ticket …

I make no secret of the fact that I have no artistic talent … none, nada, nunc!  My granddaughter Natasha, on the other hand, is very artistic and has drawn some beautiful pictures, though of late she seems to have lost interest somewhat.  Anyway … I have tremendous respect for those with artistic talent whether their style is classic, street art, manga or any other style.  Yesterday I came across an artist I hadn’t heard of before, Shannon Mayhew.  Says Ms. Mayhew …

I’m a self-taught artist living in Iowa, creating hyperrealistic animal artwork. For as far back as I can remember, I would draw…
