Monkeypox infections rise as guidance advises cases to abstain from sex – BBC News
Another 71 cases of monkeypox have been identified in England over the weekend bringing the UK total to 179, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) says.
New guidance is advising anyone with the virus to abstain from sex while they have symptoms.
They are also told to use condoms for eight weeks after an infection as a precaution.
The risk to the population is low, but people should be alert to new rashes or lesions, the UKHSA says.
In total, 172 cases have been confirmed in England, with four in Scotland, two in Northern Ireland and one in Wales.

Monday Notes: 3 Things I’m Tired of Talking About
Even though I’m not in the States, the way the world is set up, I’m still in tune with the news, and let me tell you … recent events have left me tired of recycling the same conversation over and over.
Domestic Terrorism against Black Lives
The Federal Bureau of Investitgation (FBI) defines domestic terrorism as violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.
Therefore, when Payton Gendron not only killed ten people in Buffalo, who were mostly Black, but also left behind some type of white supremacist manifesto, it should’ve been a no-brainer that his acts were the literal definition of *domestic terrorism. What I’ve noticed, though, is that Black people seem to understand domestic terrorism and the consistent role it has played in American history. Other people…

Do Neighbors Still Have Block Parties?
Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
Here is a question I’ve had for a while that may partially explain the lack of empathy today. Back in the 1980s, in DC, folks used to block off either end of the street, and share food and smiles for a few hours with all of the neighbors. Is that common, still?
This might help building understanding, maybe?

“If I Thought It Would Help …”
The lawman’s words at the end of the press conference were …
“If I thought it would help, I’d apologize.”
Rather like a spouse trying to end an argument saying, “Okay, fine, whatever it is you’re mad about, I’m sorry for whatever it is I did.” Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Or that old classic, “I’m sorry, but …”
Law enforcement of every stripe that showed up in Uvalde, Texas last Tuesday deserve no kudos, no thumbs-up, for they were cowards … to a man, they were cowards. When you put on that badge, you are expected to do everything in your power to protect the citizens of your city/county/state, even if it means putting your own life at risk. You are expected to be courageous. The response by law enforcement to a shooter murdering children inside Robb Elementary School that day was reminiscent of Keystone Kops. The bungling Toody and Muldoon…

Barnard Kemter’s microphone cut off during speech on Black roots of Memorial Day – The Washington Post (Me: A shameful move for Hudson, OH with a history of active involvement in the fight to save the Union – see below)
If a person stands on the Hudson Green you can walk a couple of blocks in two directions and confront history and Hudson’s role in the Civil War and the lead up to this great conflict. In 1837, John Brown spoke at the Congregational Church, now site of the Town Hall, and dedicated his life to the abolition of slavery. In 1854, former slave, Frederick Douglass, gave his famous commencement address, on the “Claims of the Negro Race”, at the Western Reserve College Chapel. And, in 1861, in a snowstorm, Abraham Lincoln came to the train’s back platform to acknowledge the crowd while en route to lead a nation falling into Civil War.
Travelling to the US – first solo trip!
Saania's diary - reflections, learnings, sparkles
Last week, my sister and I travelled around the US. This was our first ever travel trip without our parents, so it was a fulfilling journey of independence and learning (along with ridiculously crazy instances).
Here’s what we did in a nutshell:
We organised this trip primarily to tour around campuses of the universities we may be joining this fall. So our first stop was Illinois, as we wanted to see the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It was located at a serene location complete with squirrels, rain drops, fresh trees, and lots and lots of greenery.


We also stayed in Chicago for a day and something really scary happened. We were filling the gas of our (rented) car and in America, as I learnt, we have to do everything…
