Reprogramming the Anthropocene: Patricia Piccinini’s ‘We Are Connected’ at ArtScience Museum — Bakchormeeboy

“It’s some kind of weird exhibition.” That’s the message I spy out of the corner of my eye that an older man, maybe in his 50s, types exasperatedly …

Salt Lake County council says on Twitter that babies are not connect to women’s bodies (Me: Dumber than dumb and cruel to boot)

Salt Lake County council member Dave Alvord says fetuses are not part of a mother’s body because the umbilical cord and placenta do not connect directly to the woman.

That isn’t true, but Alvord is standing by his comments in the wake of the social media pile-on he’s faced after airing those views on Twitter, in response to a tweet by Vice President Kamala Harris.

Asked Wednesday about where Alvord got his information, whether he stands by the comments, the backlash he’s faced online — and what he thinks about one abortion-access advocate calling his tweet “seriously uninformed,” the Republican council member declined to respond.

“It appears this is a story about social media, so it seems more appropriate we leave it there,” Alvord said in a text message. “I’ll tweet a response on Twitter. Thanks for your consideration and allowing me the chance to respond.”

Alvord made the initial comment Saturday morning in response to a tweet from Harris saying women should be able to make decisions about their own bodies without interference from the government.

Jamaica’s Health Ministry commits to establishing dedicated Stroke Units. Much needed!

Petchary's Blog

I can honestly say that I only had a vague idea of what happens when someone has a stroke – – until my husband had one, just about six months ago. What is more (compounding the shock of the stroke diagnosis itself) we did not recognise the symptoms at all. Our first instinct was that it might be COVID. A COVID test proved negative. Then, what was it? Meanwhile, we were wondering: Why was he walking funny, tilting over to one side? Why was his eyesight so bad that he was seeing double, or triple? Why did he have such a bad headache, and dizziness?

When we walked down to our friendly neighbourhood pharmacy (my poor husband barely made it) our young, dedicated pharmacist – who has become part of our health support team over the past year or two – took my husband’s blood pressure. It was sky high…

Helping To Share New Tools is Win-Win

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

     I just heard from a fellow Manzilla, descended from Emily Manzilla Pinn, and Civil War hero Robert A. Pinn, to become more computer independent!  Since Do Better is not on Amazon (and I’m still sort of open to putting it up there, opinions needed…) due to their refusal to allow FREE as a price, getting the file onto an older Kindle (with no browser) requires transfering the .mobi file (which I can email to anyone needing it) via Calibre, my favorite free ebook s/w.

  While I am quite used to doing this, I found that it is not as simple for others.  So, we walked through it, and now, another (Boomer generation!) person is another tool further empowered!  And it was really wonderful to see her increasing confidence as we talked through the steps over the phone.

  I am so grateful!

Autorrespeito

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Autorrespeito é dizer não àquilo que não queremos”

Marii Freire

O autorrespeito é quando o indivíduo se coloca como centro de si mesmo. Nao é egoísmo. É sim, o respeito, ou o mesmo, o ” limite” que cada pessoa acrescenta a si, a vida, sobre o fato de tolerar determinadas coisas, e ter a clareza sobre tomar decisões que ajudam a gerir a própria vida. Claro, somos seres únicos, e tendo essa consciência, se constrói muros que servem de proteção para aquilo que possa nos atingir. Na verdade, o autorrespeito é importante, porque nos faz enxergar o nosso próprio valor. São questões inegociáveis que fazem com que cada pessoa absorva o que é importante.

O foco do autorrespeito é construir o que é bom pra nós. É acionar a consciência sobre tudo aquilo é indispensável ao indivíduo. Ora, imagine, não tem pessoas que transferem a responsabilidade de suas vidas…
