Florbela Espanca

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

É vão o amor, o ódio, ou o desdém;

Inútil o desejo e o sentimento…

Lançar um grande amor aos pés d’alguem

O mesmo é que lançar flores ao vento!

Todos somos no mundo ” Pedro Sem”,

Uma alegria é feita dum tormento,

Um riso é sempre o eco dum lamento,

Sabe-se lá  um beijo donde vem!..

A mais nobre ilusão morre…desfaz-se…

Uma saudade morta em nós renasce

Que no mesmo momento é já perdida…

Amar-te a vida inteira eu não podia…

A gente esquece sempre o bem dum dia.

Que queres, ò meu Amor, se é isto a Vida!..

Happy

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

People constantly ask me Why do I always seem so happy? Irrespective of whatever happened in life If there was conflict within me, and strife I'm always known to be happy At least that's what everybody sees Right since childhood, I've been the sunshine girl Joy and happiness all around me lay curled One by one, too many deaths in the family Followed by the teenage years that came so suddenly But sure, I've always been happy Life has never really been that crappy Right from the early years, mom taught me To hold on to Jesus ever so tightly Do everything with passion and integrity And to this date, that has been my ecstacy Even when I was desperate for a job, no quarters in my bowl I rejected a few decent ones that didn't allow me to feel whole Do what you love; love what you do Usually…

Native American Legislative Update

LANDBACK Friends

Following are legislative updates for October from Portia K. Skenandore-Wheelock, Congressional Advocate, Native American Advocacy Program, Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL). This is a link to information from FCNL related to Native Americans. On that page you can sign up to receive these legislative updates. https://www.fcnl.org/issues/native-americans

The Friends Committee on National Legislation is a national, nonpartisan Quaker organization that lobbies Congress and the administration to advance peace, justice, and environmental stewardship. https://www.fcnl.org/about

This month’s action is to Support the Establishment of a Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding Schools.

“It is long overdue for the United States to acknowledge the historic trauma of the Indian boarding school era. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Christian churches collaborated with the government to create hundreds of boarding schools for Native American children. The conditions at these schools, some of them Quaker-run, were unspeakable.
Now we must work with…

Green Gold: Billion Dollar Question for Congo Rainforest | Inter Press Service (Me: close to the fall into an abyss from which we and the earth may not survive)

The lifting of the moratorium could open some 70 million hectares to logging – an area roughly the size of France – and its impacts would be catastrophic. With or without a “sustainability” label, the logging of the Congo Basin is a nightmare for the rule of law and a constant threat to local people.

For millions of people who depend on the forest for their livelihoods, including Indigenous Peoples, selling it off to multinationals has meant land grabs, displacement and destitution. And bulldozing the rainforest will likely mean less rain.

The Congo Basin forest is estimated to contribute more than half of the annual precipitation in Sub-Saharan Africa, an area already facing a plethora of droughts and extreme heat waves.

One of the things the EU ambassadors the Minister is schmoozing ought to remind her is that no one appears to know exactly who these multinationals are.

Nearly six months after the launch of an EU-funded legal review of logging titles, the lead auditor reported this month that his team still hasn’t been able to pull together a list of titles… He hasn’t yet glimpsed a “so-called existing” list; what there is is “very incomplete.” Ève Bazaiba took her time to sign the team’s mission order, until two months after an intervention by the EU ambassador.

Over 40 Congolese and international NGOs are still waiting for a reply to their 23 September letter to donors, warning of the impending catastrophe.

In the letter they were told that lifting the moratorium in DRC, home to about 60 per cent of the Congo Basin forest, would remove the last shreds of credibility from COP15 on biodiversity in Kunming and from COP26 on climate in Glasgow.

The Congo Basin forest has more than 600 tree species and 10,000 animal species, including forest elephants, lowland gorillas, bonobos, and okapi. Its vegetation is estimated to contain between 25-30 billion tons of carbon, equivalent to about four years of global anthropogenic emissions of CO2. Increased logging might mean greater risk of yet another pandemic.

Miami Herald: DeSantis descending into ‘anti-vaxx Crazyville’ | TheHill

The Miami Herald’s editorial board published a scathing rebuke of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday, writing that he is descending into “anti-vaxx Crazyville” after he called a special legislative session to pass new laws aimed at undermining federal COVID-19 vaccine requirements for workers.

“We thought things couldn’t get much worse in DeSantis’ handling of the pandemic, but we were wrong — then we were wrong again. Just when you think he’s done enough to undermine our chances of exiting a pandemic that has killed nearly 60,000 Floridians, he has a new trick up his sleeve,” the Herald wrote in an op-ed.

The newspaper criticized DeSantis’s proposed law that would make businesses liable for medical harm resulting from mandatory vaccines, pointing out that millions of vaccines have been administered in the U.S. without issue. It also took issue with taxpayer funds being used to send lawmakers to Tallahassee to attend a “special session for this nonsense.”

Covid: Masks mandatory for everyone in the Commons – except MPs – BBC News (Me: Tories still playing dumb about Covid-19)

In updated guidance, the Commons authorities said all staff, visitors, contractors and press must cover their faces to combat the spread of Covid.

But it remains up to individual MPs to decide whether to follow suit – and many Conservatives have chosen not to.

Sajid Javid has said he will wear a mask for Wednesday’s Budget when the chamber will be packed.

But the health secretary said on Monday it was a “personal decision” for ministers and backbenchers as to whether they did too.
