Você tem prerrogativa de se satisfazer! Seja uma mulher que mais do que sonhar, aprenda a lutar por seus ideais. Então, não espere que os outros acreditem em você, na sua força, ou talento. Acredite: você deve ser a primeira pessoa que diz ” Eu posso, consigo e sou capaz!”

The Omicron Variant Has Ravaged Texas Schools – The Texas Observer

Data provided to the Observer by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) shows a skyrocketing number of COVID-related school closures in the month of January, when 284 districts closed schools temporarily. To put that in perspective: That’s almost triple the number of closures that occurred in the preceding four months combined. The numbers aren’t exact, since districts don’t have to report the closures to the state, and the TEA doesn’t formally track them, the agency said. But they do appear to show a sharp rise in COVID-related school closures.  “When you have more than 15, 20 percent of your staff out … you can’t operate. So you have to close for a few days until you get some of them back,” said Bill Tarleton, executive director of the Texas Rural Education Association (TREA). Tarleton estimated that up to one-quarter of TREA’s 380-member districts have had to temporarily shutter their doors due to the virus.

The Week’s Best Cartoons 4/23

Filosofa's Word

I thought this would be a good time to take a look at TokyoSand’s weekly political cartoon post and see what cool ‘toons she’s found for us.  Naturally, the central topic of discussion is Ron DeSantis and his ban on fact-based education, his retributive action against Disney that will harm the people of Florida far more than it will harm Disney, but there were a few other topics as well.  I especially liked the one about Tucker Carlson!  Thank you, TS, for all your hard week finding the best of the bunch!


Here are some of the great editorial cartoons I saw this week. A lot of cartoonists were focused on the, well, fascism coming out of Florida.

 

See all the ‘toons at TokyoSand’s Political Charge!

Time To WAKE UP ⏰ Democrats!!!

Filosofa's Word

Listen up, Democrats!  It’s past time to stop this “Oh woe, Oh woe, Oh thrice times woe” bullshit (thanks, Roger!)  The Republicans cannot be handed a majority in the House of Representatives or the Senate in November, but it seems that is exactly what the lily-livered wusses of the Democratic Party plan to do!  If you believe your party is destined to take a walloping in November, and if you keep wringing your hands and whining instead of doing something about it, then yeah … that is precisely what will happen!  Check out Blake Hounshell’s latest column.

If, on the other hand, we get off our fat arses and get out there, make our voices heard, campaign like the life of the nation depends on it (because it does!), and make sure the names of the contenders in November are heard so loudly and so often that…

Relativity and its Relevance

Kaushal Kishore

I enjoyed my happy moments
got sad too at times
but time moved slowly in one direction
with the uniquitous indifference
but passed quickly
that I couldn’t even realize
in the hustle and bustle of my life,
I’m now left with those moments
that I have lived,
willingly or unwillingly 
swinging between “ifs” and “buts”…

I never relished
the rebukes and reprimands
by my teachers and parents
for getting into mischief
in childhood days
but today its memory alone
gives a wonderful pleasant feeling,
I used to enjoy immensely then
pestering and harassing others
by playing playful pranks,
but not today…

The difference in time and space
has probably increased
the level of my understanding
it was relatively less then
this very relativity
enables me to distinguish
between happy and sad,
but a time may also come
when this realisation too
will start getting blurred and
the relativity will lose…

Stand Up for Jamaica writes about the power of reintegration

Petchary's Blog

Being a human rights activist in Jamaica is not an easy life. There is a persistent narrative that these dedicated and decent human beings “defend criminals.” In fact, certain categories of Jamaicans are deemed hardly eligible to apply, or be considered for such a thing as human rights. It’s different if one’s own rights have been taken away though, or those of a friend or family member, or a neighbor; then the perspective suddenly changes. Nevertheless, I am told, “We are a Christian country.”

It always strikes me as deeply sad, in a nation that has suffered so much from one of the most appalling human rights abuses in world history – the Transatlantic trade in enslaved Africans and plantation slavery. We are confronted with this blood-soaked legacy at almost every turn. And yet… Sometimes I think George William Gordon, or Sam Sharpe, would be concerned at our disregard for…
