Loup: Nicolas Vanier
Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
(English is below…)
Cette histoire de devenir adulte faisait plaisir à lire. (J’aimerais voir le film de 2009.) Vanier a réussi très tôt de faire sentir l’empathie pour un prédateur qu’il montre tel comme il est, et avec des détails. Il m’a réussi d’étonner, aussi, côte émotionnelle chez les hommes, en montrant qu’il est bien possible qu’an homme aussi peut se sentir abusé sexuellement par une femme, même après avoir fait l’amour volontairement. Jamais trop douce, on sent la dureté des deux mondes, humain tant que lupin, en sentant aussi (pour moi, au moins) connecté avec tous les deux. Du bon boulot émotionnelle et aussi d’un point de vue écolo.
(Si vous avez, les Amies, des corrections pour mon français, j’accepte volontiers…)

Wild, Wild Ramps
What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Fab Foodstuff: Wild, Wild Ramps! “We have become foragers!”, my daughter-in-law proudly proclaimed as they walked through the front door. My son extended his hands with a large bouquet of wild ramps, as though they were a dozen long stem roses. “You can eat the tender bulbs as well as the leafy greens!”, they said in unison. Imagine my surprise. Little did I know that every Spring, foodies as well as seasoned chefs embark on a quest to unearth this subterranean gem known as Wild Ramps. What I learned that day is that ramps are simply wild leeks. Their flavor mimics garlic and onion. The fleshy leaves are a savory delight when sautéed in olive oil and butter. I promptly washed and trimmed the precious globular buds before serving them with breakfast. How unexpectedly delicious! It was only later, while traveling, I discovered their value…

Nesta semana, os Yanomami comemoram 30 anos da demarcação oficial de seu território em 25 de maio de 1992, mas dezenas de milhares de garimpeiros ilegais aliados a quadrilhas criminosas armadas estão operando impunemente em seu território, contaminando rios com mercúrio e intimidando e prejudicando a comunidade! — Barbara Crane Navarro

Northampton School Committee revisits COVID mask mandate – masslive.com
NORTHMAPTON — The school board has scheduled a special meeting on Friday afternoon to discuss and potentially vote to “amend or repeal” its COVID-19 mask mandate.
Although face coverings had become option on campus back in March, the district “temporarily” reinstated its mask mandate May 10 in response to rising COVID cases. It was one of few school districts in the state to do so. A decision on whether to continue the mandate was expected last week but was delayed so more data could be gathered.
