What To Hope For?

Daily Observation

That escalating warfare

Is as brief as possible

That violence is as little as possible

That we all learn lessons about what’s fair

Thoughtful is now Thoughtless Thursdays -La Casa de Papel (Money Heist) p1e1

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

No time to think, still seeking Beta Readers for Do Better, so:

This reaction tries not to spoil the episode, and gives random reactions in the original Spanish, and in English, for the majority of my current readers:

Por qué Dalí ?? … Why Dalí??
Robin Hood…
Muy buena idea, ocultandose como el papel con marca de agua. … Great idea, hiding in the open like paper with watermarks.
Por eso han planeado tanto. … That’s why so much planning.
La diosa de la fertilidad. Claro que él no quiere más que una amante. Cabron de Arturito ! … The goddess of fertility. He obviously only wants a mistress. Jerk, Arturo.

Rigoberta Menchu Tum, Un Libro, y Salud Para Todos

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

(English in this post. Summary: books like Masot’s and like Harry Potter point up PTSD, and the need for Health Care for All of Us, as Rigoberta Menchu Tum points out, in founding her Health Care for All movement…)

Un libro bastante bien. Se hace pensar en el mal tratamiento de los niños. Sin embargo, como los libros de Harry Potter este libro era divertido, tambien.

Las Puertas del MalPuertasDelMalMasot por Núria Masot
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Mujeres inteligentes (tal vez codependientes) capaces de enfrentar el peligro, políglotas vestidos poco normales quienes inspiran el miedo pero protegan a los demas, Trastorno por estrés postraumático mostrado, veteranos heridos sosteniendoles tras los tiempos, las semillas del odio y el poder de la lealtad aun tanto entre la gente como entre las comunidades diferentes. Eso son las cosas buenas que ofrece este libro, cuatro de cinco en el serie…

Poluostrvo Valdes, Argentina – Valdes Peninsula, Argentina

Myrela

Ima izvijeno tijelo bez leđnog peraja, a na glavi prekrivenoj keratinizovanim mrljama nalaze se dva nosna otvora kroz koje izbacuje svoj karakterističan mlaz pare. Odrasla jedinka može dostići dužinu od 13 metara i masu od 40 tona. Crni glatki kit pripada podredu Mysticeti, a njegovo naučno ime je Eubalaena australis, “južni kit”. Jedan od najfascinantnijih, ali i najugroženijih sisara na svijetu zbog čega ga je 1985. godine argentinski Kongres proglasio nacionalnim spomenikom. Iako je zaštićen još od 1936. godine i on je, kao i mnogi drugi krupni kitovi, meta nemilosrdnog lova, pa je tek posljednjih godina primjećen značajan porast njegove populacije. Danas ih ima oko 3.000, od kojih 500 putuje do mirnih voda u zalivima Nuevo i San Hose na poluostrvu Valdes da bi se tamo parili. Dolaze početkom zime i, između juna i septembra poslije 12 mjeseci trudnoće, ženke rađaju po jedno mladunče dugo pet metara.

Poluostrvo…

At War

May God have mercy on Ukraine and may Russian people wake up to Putin’s violence that could just as easily be turned on Russians.

Filosofa's Word

Just about two hours ago, Ukraine President Zelenskyy said that Russia has carried out missile strikes on Ukraine infrastructure and on Ukrainian border guards with explosions being heard in many cities across the country.

In a speech at 5:50 a.m. Russian time, Russian autocrat Vladimir Putin announced …

“I have taken the decision to carry out a special military operation. Its goal will be to defend people who for eight years are suffering persecution and genocide by the Kyiv regime. For this we will aim for demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, as well as taking to court those who carried out multiple bloody crimes against civilians, including citizens of the Russian Federation. Our plans do not include occupying Ukrainian territory.”

Ukrainian officials say Russian troops have landed in Odessa while others are crossing the border into Kharkiv. The Ukrainian interior ministry made the announcement on Telegram, adding that rocket attacks…
