« La fumée d’OR des épidémies – Les mineurs d’or sont devenus nombreux dans notre forêt, détruisant les sources de la rivière et nous tuant avec leurs maladies »

Google translation: “The GOLDEN smoke of plagues – Gold miners have grown in number in our forest, destroying the sources of the river and killing us with their diseases”

«Les chercheurs d’or sont devenus très nombreux dans nos hautes terres forestières, détruisant les sources du fleuve et tuant leurs habitants de leurs maladies. Les mineurs d’or sont des mangeurs de terre, des êtres pervers! Leur pensée est vide et ils sont pleins de fumée épidémique! Nous devons les empêcher de salir nos rivières et les chasser de la forêt.

Tous les espritsxapiriles plus vaillants descendent pour combattre l’épidémie dexawaraet se rassemblent en une troupe innombrable pour y faire face. Quand cela devient vraiment trop dangereux et qu’ils doivent sauver leur peuple de la mort, nos anciens chamans font même danser la propre image de l’épidémie … une fois qu’elle devient un espritxapiri, elle combat courageusement la dangereuse fumée de métal des Blancs … C’est ainsi que nos grands chamans parfois a réussi à chasser cette…

Barbara Crane Navarro

O tema que irei fazer uma reflexão hoje é sobre o nosso território, que atualmente vem sendo ameaçado pelos garimpeiros que adentram a Terra Indígena Raposa do Sol, em Normandia, em Roraima. Minha região sofre consequências dos não-índios no garimpo, maiores até que a pandemia de Covid-19. O garimpo iniciou no ano de 2018.Desde…

Second Statement of the Alliance of Ipereg Ayu Movement Organizations — Movimento Munduruku Ipereg Ayu

Barbara Crane Navarro

Jacareacanga, Pará, Brazil – June 9, 2021 We continue to be attacked. Public services meant to defend our rights do not work. Jacareacanga is a lawless city. Our chiefs need to be respected in their decisions. Bandits cannot be more sovereign than Munduruku Chiefs. We want to denounce what we are experiencing, and we plan[…]

Dear Love| An open letter series #9

A Writer's Deli


Dear Love,
Young girls and lost dreams- You weren’t made to be mediocre. Remember, you had high hopes of yourself?  When father asked what did you want to be when you grew up, you questioned back.
“What was the biggest thing to be?”
“A Prime Minister”,  he replied.
‘Bigger?! ‘, you retort. 
‘”A President “, He says. 
“Bigger still?”
Dad ponders.
“God…? “, he humours.  
You think for a moment and settle for the President”.
Dad smiles. You don’t know what his smile means. You smile too, with Pride. 
You’ve an aim now.
You get 10/10 on tests. A star. An A plus grade.
There’s nothing between you and your dream. Dreams change. 
You want to be an IAS Officer. An engineer later on. 
You grow complacent, with time. 
Dad is still proud.
Your dreams are different now.
You’re in love. Cultural influences have you believing your dreams aren’t…

Focaccia Herb Bread

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Chow Down: Focaccia Herb Bread! I love bread. Don’t hate me. Besides, if the Italians and the French can make it a guilt-free pleasure, that’s good enough for me. Focaccia Bread is a flatter version than a loaf and actually resembles the texture of pizza dough and breadsticks. Are you with me now? At first glance you may think there is too much olive oil in this recipe. Not true. Actually, that is the secret to keeping the bread soft or preventing it from drying out. Feel free to begin imagining focaccia bread as an appetizer, sandwich bread, or healthy snack. Permission granted.

FOCACCIA HERB BREAD

Ingredients:

1 cup water

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 teaspoon sea salt

3 cups bread flour

1/4 cup sugar

2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1-2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated

Dipping Olive…

Zaštićena oblast Ngorongoro, Tanzanija – Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania

Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania

Myrela

Ngorongoro je skoro savršenog kružnog oblika, nešto ispod dvadeset kilometara u prečniku i, kao takav, jedan je od najvećih kratera na svijetu, iako se tokom proteklih milenijuma nije pretvorio u jezero. Njegov obod ima zidove čija se visina kreće između 400 i 600 metara, ali to nije oduvijek bilo tako. Kada je krajem mezozoika i početkom kenozoika formiran, Ngorongoro je bio snažan vulkan i, kako naučnici smatraju, veći od svojih susjeda – Lulmalasina 3.587 metara, Oldeanija, 3.168 metara, pa čak i Kilimandžara, najveće afričke planine sa 5.888 metara, međutim, proradio je takvom slilinom da se u potpunosti urušio. Tokom vremena njegov udubljen oblik postao je za divlji svijet sigurno utočište kome nema ravnog u Africi, neka vrsta “arene” koja sadrži izvanredne prizore prirode u svoj svojoj divljini.

Proglašen zaštićenom zonom 1959. godine, ovaj krater je vrhunac ogromnog ekosistema koji predstavlja ravnica Serengeti. Pored toga što predstavlja konačnu destinaciju u velikim…

WHY???

Filosofa's Word

If you thought I let off all the steam in this morning’s rants, you’d be wrong.  Two things are puzzling me at the moment … puzzling and annoying me … leading me to keep asking over and over — WHY???  The former guy needs to fade into oblivioun … he is, or at least ought to be, irrelevant now, yet he keeps popping back onto the radar.  Somebody please, put him somewhere, like a mental institution or better yet, a prison.


I don’t believe a word of it …

You remember June 1st 2020, right?  That was the day that the former guy, having seen his approval rating drop even lower than usual, decided a photo op was just the thing to boost his ratings.  So, he and his band of merry men (and women) walked from the White House to a church in Lafayette Park so he…
