Sepa por qué usted es machista – Cosecha Roja

This February 1, María Elena Walsh would have turned 91 years old. The singer-songwriter and writer who marked the childhood of several generations also left us one of the most audacious feminist manifestos, published in the magazine Humor in 1980.

Min debut: I skuggan av en siluett skör som glas | Yolanda – “Det här är mitt privata krig”

Denna bok är en dikt/novellsamling med passande målningar/teckningar som jag har gjort. Dessa sammanställde jag redan för ungefär ett år sedan. Ni kan köpa boken på nätet (på dessa länkar bland ann… (Imagination and reality, strong emotions, darkness, emotional chaos and hope. This book depicts these themes through poems, short stories, drawings and paintings.

The book consists of my own interpretations of what life can, among other things, consist of. I hope that you who read can recognize yourself, or at least relate to what you read. I want to give you a creative interpretation of what life consists of for me. ”

Cause and Effect in Georgia

Mock Paper Scissors

Greetings from Possum Hollar!

The GOPers from the Gret Stet of Georgeduh is mobilizing against Stacey Abrams, who has just been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize and will be competing against Fratsputin.

Naturally the Coup Klux Klan is not having any of that! The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

“[The Stop Stacey Group] aims to build a national fundraising infrastructure, mobilize conservative supporters, air anti-Abrams ads and promote media narratives targeting the Democrat ahead of her expected campaign against [Gov. Brian Kemp.]”

I cannot imagine much that could more clearly show the differences between the parties to the voters in Georgia: a local hero is up for a prestigious prize bringing great honor to the state, and the Republicans are organizing against her.

Rather remarkable news cycle, innit? She is nominated for an award and the Right organizes against her. These things are not unrelated.

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Hoje é aniversário dela MARIA DA PENHA. Um exemplo que serve para todas nós mulheres.

Nessa jornada relacionada aos avanços e retrocessos em relação a violência contra a mulher, é importante amparar as mulheres que se tornam vítimas da violência. Esta, muitas vezes, praticada de forma silenciosa, nos lugares que a gente nem imagina. Você é capaz de pensar que numa situação, onde existe um casal” aparentemente feliz”, a mulher possa ser uma vítima?

É sábado que a violência não escolhe classe social. Ela simplesmente, vive presente em todos lugares. Ela não escolhe as suas vítimas. Não importa se a mulher é branca, negra, rica, pobre, feia ou bonita, ela acontece. Portanto, fique atenta porque pode ser com qualquer uma de nós. Eu penso que talvez, a maior dificuldade da mulher seja em falar, em expor que é mais uma vítima do companheiro ou da companheira. Todavia, insisto: A mulher…

There was panic-buying of food, #military roadblocks in the capital Naypyidaw and a triumphant pro-army rally in Yangon in the hours after a coup in #Myanmar. But there was also quiet anger simmering among those whose hopes for the country’s democratic future have been stolen.

“A country isn’t a rock. It’s not an extension of one’s self. It’s what it stands for. It’s what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult!” The Second Trump Impeachment Trial and Judgement at Nuremberg — Rcooley123’s Blog

The first impeachment trial of President Donald Trump was a sham rushed through to a pre-determined acquittal by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and including no witnesses. Hopefully, this second trial will be more worthy of the name. The attack on the Capitol in Washington, DC at the behest of pro-Trump anti-democratic forces was unacceptable […]
