Uganda’s extreme anti-LGBTQ legislation, explained – Vox
…In reality, the US in particular has influenced or supported anti-LGBTQ policies and attitudes in Uganda, particularly via evangelical groups like the Fellowship Foundation, which had a hand in crafting the 2009 “kill the gays” bill, according to a 2020 report from Open Democracy.
In 2012, SMUG sued American evangelist Scott Lively in a US court for his role in promoting the anti-LGBTQ agenda that influenced the “kill the gays” bill and led to the persecution of LGBTQ people in Uganda. Though the court eventually dismissed the case, ruling that it could not be tried in the US because the alleged crimes took place elsewhere, the presiding judge, Michael Ponsor, affirmed that Lively contributed to “a vicious and frightening campaign of repression against LGBTI people in Uganda.”
US evangelical groups are also instrumental in pushing an “ex-gay” narrative in Uganda — contributing to the idea of “rehabilitation” that Museveni aims to write into the 2023 bill…

Sorry, but San Francisco isn’t the hell hole the far right claims – Los Angeles Times
The far-right loves to paint San Francisco as a crime-ridden ‘hellhole.’ The celebration of an iconic transgender club is a reminder of what the city is really about.

It’s Library Week 2023
Reading and research have been integrated into my life since early childhood. For example, one minor instance comes to mind. I had become curious about the song “Yankee Doodle”. Why did he call the feather in his hat “macaroni”? What was “hasty pudding”? Dad admitted that he had no answer but we could find out at the library.
We climbed the outdoors steps to the old Carnegie funded town library building then entered the main room where most of the books were lined up on shelves. I asked the librarian about the macaroni and hasty pudding that was mentioned in the song. She flipped through several cards in the card catalogue and wrote down the names of some books to consult.
All three of us walked to one of the shelves, then the librarian pulled out the books that might contain the information I wanted. Dad chose one to bring…

Aquella mañana envuelta en niebla

Aquella mañana, acosada por la llovizna y envuelta en niebla, parecía raptada de la estampa de un libro de historias melancólicas. Era, simplemente, un fragmento de tiempo que se iba lejos, un pedazo de vida que se escapaba. Yo, caminante incansable, andaba por una de las calzadas sombrías del cementerio, entre árboles frondosos que agachaban sus ramas y criptas con nombres, apellidos, fechas y epitafios distantes y, quizá, no recordados, unas cubiertas con flores de efímera existencia y otras, en cambio, desoladas, entre los rumores y los silencios de la caducidad de la vida. El césped se encontraba alfombrado de hojarasca que, a veces, cuando estaba seca, el viento arrastraba en remolinos y dispersaba, igual que un artista cuando desliza el pincel, aquí y allá, sobre el lienzo, en un tropel de colores. Reflexionaba sobre la vida y la…

Die Revolution der Liebe …The revolution of love

„Das Erwachen der Menschheit vollzieht sich in verschiedenen Stadien. Der nächste Schritt wird die Revolution der Liebe sein. Liebe ist die Kraft in allen schönen, kreativen und fröhlichen Dingen, die unsere Welt ausmachen. In unserer Gesellschaft sollten diese Qualitäten in viel größerem Umfang entfaltet werden. Das sind die Energien, die unserem Planeten Leben geben. In dem Moment, in dem wir alle die Energie der Liebe entfesseln, wird die Menschheit das Element Feuer ein zweites Mal entdecken. Es liegt jetzt an uns, die Erde in ein Spiegelbild des Himmels zu verwandeln. Ein winziger Lichtfaden wird sich zu einem himmlischen Licht entwickeln. Denn wir alle wurden als Licht geboren und jeder wird sich daran erinnern.“
– Christina von Dreien

Sunday Morning
A new sunrise starts the day with a boom
As its golden rays set the room
In yellow lustre from wall, table to broom
Gone is the last bit of nightly gloom

Acceptance and choices
How many things could we have achieved if we had spent less time complaining and regretting? Growth comes from acceptance and choices.
