¿Qué fue de nuestros perfumes? ¿Qué de la sonrisa que compartimos? ¿Qué de nuestra historia y de la gente y las cosas que vimos pasar? ¿Qué de las gotas de lluvia que mojaron nuestras cabezas y sentimos delizar en la piel? ¿Qué de los capítulos que vivimos y de nuestros sueños, esperanzas e ilusiones? ¿Dónde quedamos nosotros, los de apenas hace unos días, los de entonces, los del ayer? ¿Dónde están el deleite y el encanto de nuestros encuentros y desencuentros, de los juegos, de las palabras y los silencios, de los romances, de las compañías y las soledades? ¿Dónde quedaron las letras de los poemas y de las odiseas, los matices de los lienzos, la música de los pianos, las arpas y los violines? ¿Dónde permanecen las imágenes que reflejaron los espejos, las lagunas y los charcos? ¿Dónde…

Lei Maria da Penha completa 15 anos

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Maria da Penha é o exemplo vivo, do que o amor não é capaz de faz, mas um homem violento, sim”.

Marii Freire Pereira.

A Lei n° ( 11. 340/ 2021) Maria da Penha completa hoje, sábado, 7 de Agosto de 2021, 15 anos. Desde o período de sua criação, até está data, a lei tem passado por uma grande evolução.

Segundo a própria Maria, há uma ” progressiva quebra de silêncio ” da mulher que é vítima da violência IMP ( Instituto Maria da Penha). A lei tem sido de grande importância para a mulher porque deu visibilidade a um problema sério, e que provocava muita inquietação, onde se percebia que a mulher sofria violência, mas suportava calada, ou havia punição para o agressor, mas está, era branda. Então, essa lei veio na verdade, descortinar, uma realidade que é a violência e, ao mesmo tempo, a não negociação…

Using less fossil fuels can reduce our green house gas emissions over time

And after a while our energy bills might go down, for one month we might pay a dime

Revisionist History … Then And Now

Filosofa's Word

There are so many critical issues happening in the country, in the world today, that it should be possible to write two posts a day without ever repeating myself.  But there are a few issues that take precedence over all else:  racism, voting rights, climate change, the corruption of certain legislators, and the assault on the very foundation of our country.  So, please forgive me if I seem to repeat these topics, for they simply cannot be allowed to fade into oblivion as some would like to see happen.

The events of January 6th are being lied about, Republicans are doing everything in their power to make the country forget that but for some very dedicated police officers, we might today be living in an autocratic state, the results of our vote last November having been cast to the wind.  Columnist Dana Milbank has written of the attempts to…
