Minbari Mondays, and Two Lessons in “Dust to Dust” (B5:s3e6) About Life…

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

       This week we are learning to live with the fact that Ranger Mayann is prohibited from writing to us from Minbar, where she is stationed. 

    This week’s lessons:

          1.  Sometimes, “Some must be sacrificed, if all are to be saved.”  Life, and long term strategy, unfortunately, involves loss.  But that loss should be with informed consent, imho.

          2.  There are always creative solutions to thorny problems, if we work in community.

 

            So, a drug that allows telepathic invasion is tested by G’Kar, on Londo.  Logical.  Naturally, the PsyCorps would have an interest in this drug, and a bigger interest in scanning the minds of the B5 command staff.  That’s where a little help from some friendly Minbari telepaths comes in handy.

 

  Let’s learn from this, and start building community before we become the “some” that “must be sacrificed,” please.   We, as a…

What if public schools were the target all along?

Maybe the point of stoking phony issues like “critical race theory” is to make the whole notion of a public education seem untenable.


Every now and then, conservative pundits give Democratic politicians “helpful” advice, a practice related to concern trolling. Democrats could have so much more success, they tell us, if only we’d stop acting like — you know — Democrats. Give up on unions. Stop annoying White people by talking about racism, or men by calling out sexism. Abortion rights, climate change, police reform, gender equality, universal health care … it’s all just so much baggage. If Democrats would dump it and stand for nothing-in-particular, then we could appeal to that broad segment of the electorate that also stands for nothing-in-particular.

Or so they tell us.

Such advice should not be confused with actual Democrats lobbying for their priorities. No single campaign can be about…

” Eu ouvi dizer que havia um acorde secreto

Que Davi tocava e agradava ao Senhor

Mas você liga muito pra música, liga?

É assim, a quarta, a quinta

A menor cai, a maior ascende

O Rei perplexo compondo Aleluia

Aleluia, Aleluia

Aleluia, Aleluia “

Black Women Writers at Work: A Neglected Book

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

I am so glad I happened to see this book Black Women Writers at WorkBlack Women Writers at Work by Claudia Tate
at the public library.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was moved with both recognition, and with fear, at Audre Lorde’s comment that “it’s scary because we’ve been through that before. It was called the fifties.”

audre_lordeThen I was moved with that stirring to act, upon reading in print what I have known and been told in different words since Dunbar (High School): “My responsibility is to speak the truth… with as much precision and beauty as possible. … We’ve been taught that silence would save us, but it won’t.”
And we must not remain silent while the blood of our sisters/brothers/neighbors/communities/fellow human beings is shed.

Sherley Anne Williams reiterates this responsibility of a writer to write as well as one can and to “say as much of the truth…
