We Can Do Better Wednesdays, Chapter 9, and Housing as a Human Right?

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This post is  the rough draft of  Chapter 9, section II A of my non-fiction WiP, Do Better, fka Baby Floors.   This part of chapter 9 will introduce the early years of mapping out a path to get there for Phase III.  Universal Health Care should include having stable and safe housing, no?  Or should it?

The overall objective remains that of putting a floor on poverty so that each and every baby born can have a safe childhood.

Outlines for chapter 9 will attempt to match with each section, at the bottom of early years posts.

G-G-Ghost??? G-G-Gun???

Filosofa's Word

The term ‘ghost gun’ has been in the news a great deal already this week (almost as much as that singer who claims to be pregnant!).  Turns out the Department of Justice has issued a new ruling pertaining to ghost guns and President Biden announced the new ruling yesterday.  I saw the headlines more than a few times, but passed them over for the time being, intending to return to the story when I had time to ask some questions and seek answers.  So, late Monday night, I asked my first question:  What the hell is a ghost gun, anyway?

Al contabilizar los instantes y los años

¿Serán la mañana y la tarde, la noche y la madrugada, un poema o trozos de hojas secas que se desprenden del árbol y dispersa el viento? ¿Serán los instantes, pedazos de horas y de días, porciones de semanas y de meses, o acaso desconduelo de los años que pasan casi imperceptibles? ¿Serán alegrías o nostalgias lo que uno siente al contabilizar los momentos que han partido? ¿Serán espejismos los períodos de la existencia que ya pasaron y no volverán? ¿Serán reales las etapas de la vida o simplemente se trata de sueños que se diluyen mientras naufragan en la memoria? ¿Serán los años, en el mundo, treguas que se hacen desde el infinito para valorarlo por lo que significa y distinguirlo de la temporalidad?
