Is This What True Emancipation Looks Like?

How will we know when we have succeeded?

Well, when ‘freedom to’ comes, women will be free to make their own choices, wherever in this great union they happen to live. Their bodies will not be a matter of governmental rhetoric, nor of religious propaganda.

When ‘freedom to’ comes, we will all be free to vote in fair and just elections. No citizen’s voting rights will be threatened by gerrymandering, intimation, or suppression tactics.

When ‘freedom to’ comes, everyone will be free to love and marry whomever they please, because love will simply be love.

When ‘freedom to’ comes, each of us will be free to worship in any way we chose – or not worship at all – without facing vile attacks. Anti-Muslim hate speech and antisemitism will no longer exist. No-one will be shouting “Jews will not replace us.”

When ‘freedom to’ comes, parents will be free to send their children to school without worrying that they might be shot, because the Second Amendment will not count for more than students’ lives.

When ‘freedom to’ comes, every child will be free to realize their ambitions. Poverty will not be a barrier to achievement, and a poor White child in a rural area will matter just as much as a poor Black child in an urban area.

Together, we can complete the task begun on the very first Juneteenth, but dreaming won’t be enough. We need to awaken from our current nightmare and take action.

Long Covid: new discoveries and possible treatments – Magic Mistura を

It affects at least one in ten infected and has persistent consequences, which can last for months or years: vascular, brain and immune system damage. But science begins to decipher it, and it already tests an arsenal of drugs against long Covid – the damn legacy of the pandemic.

Schloss Evenburg – architektonisches Juwel in Leer, Ostfriesland

Senioren um die Welt

Schloss Evenburg ist ein einmaliges Gesamtkunstwerk, das auch überregional von Bedeutung ist. Es besteht aus dem Ensemble von dem eigentlichen Schloss, dem schönen englischen Landschaftsgarten und der Vorburg. Bereits im Jahr 1642 wurde die erste Evenburg als barockes Wasserschloss von Oberst Erhard Reichsfreiherr von Ehrentreuter erbaut. 1861 – 1862 wurde es im neugotischen Stil umgebaut. Über Jahrhunderte gehörte das Schloss der Familie der Grafen von Wedel, seit 1975 ist der Landkreis Leer der Eigentümer.

Life does not come with instructions on how to live, but it does come with trees, sunsets, smiles and laughter, so enjoy your day.

There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.

Juneteenth: A Journey from Then to Now

From Behind the Pen

Image Credit: Linnaea Mallette

When I began researching my family tree, there was so much of the past, many unanswered questions that I am not sure I will ever uncover the answers to them. While I achieved a lot regarding education and my exposure to things my ancestors never experienced, I realize they were exposed to horrifying treatment and made sacrifices I could never fathom. I do not take my gratitude for granted. Looking back, I realize that my freedom is not free because a huge price was paid by those who came before me, whether they were family or not.

It’s rather sad to witness some who have expressed eliminating the discussion of pivotal historical events that may not have occurred in the most positive light. They believe that people need to get over it and stop discussing it by rewriting more sanitized versions or completely eliminating certain parts…

Decolonizing conservation: Seven principles

Darcy Hitchcock

The western view of conservation has been to protect the land from people. But what Ken Burns referred to as America’s Best Idea, our National Parks, involved expelling native people from their own lands, lands that they had stewarded and protected for centuries.

Photo taken by Dale Graham on our 2019 trip to the Great Bear Rainforest

The conservation field is changing, realizing that working with indigenous peoples can improve outcomes for nature as well as the people (who are part of nature). Work in the Great Bear Rainforest has led to seven principles for a collaborative approach. These are explained in a recent article:

“Decolonial Model of Environmental Management and Conservation: Insights from Indigenous-led Grizzly Bear Stewardship in the Great Bear Rainforest.”

Seven tenets

  • (1) Stewardship of resources is inseparable from the Rights, Title, Responsibilities, self-determination, and sovereignty of Indigenous Peoples
  • (2) Practitioners steward interconnections among species, people, and…
