Hucchuman And His Humber

Wonderful story – thank you.

Weekend Stories by Trishikh

Horogobindo Haldar was the funniest looking man anyone could ever come across. A strikingly protruding lower lip & jaw topped with a tiny button nose coupled with a pair of beady and squinty eyes under a large shiny dome with a few strands of flickering hair perfectly sat in place to create his hilarious look. His attire, a long white kurta atop a pair of old khaki English breeches along with laced white canvas ankle keds, played their parts in completing his comic appearance.

This cartoonish image and his mad cycling spree had earned him the nickname ‘Hucchuman’ – a speeding old buffoon on an antique bicycle. All the children and youth of his village used to pull his leg by singing the funny limerick – “Hucchuman, Hucchuman, he can do what no one can. Always paddling like a madman, here comes the loser Hucchuman.”

Hucchu would get super agitated…

¡Un símbolo ardiente de la necropolítica de Bolsonaro! – El “marco de tiempo” – ¿Genocidio para los pueblos indígenas y ecocidio para la selva amazónica?

Barbara Crane Navarro

Bolsonaro insinúa su incumplimiento de la ley si la Corte Suprema de Brasil rechaza el «marco de tiempo», una estrategia para establecer una fecha límite de 1988 para las reclamaciones de tierras indígenas.

Un grupo de alrededor de 150 indígenas llevó un enorme ataúd simbólico a las escaleras del palacio presidencial en Brasilia y le prendió fuego.

El ataúd tenía la inscripción «Genocidio» en la parte superior con «Ecocidio», «No al marco temporal», así como otras consignas en los laterales.

Más de 6.000 pueblos indígenas de 176 naciones indígenas se reunieron en el campamento «Lucha por la vida» frente a la Corte Suprema de Brasil en Brasilia para exigir que los jueces fallen a su favor y rechacen el plazo de 1988 adoptado por el gobierno de Bolsonaro en 2016 y promovido por la agro -Sectores de industria, ganadería, explotación forestal y minería de oro.

Los jueces se reunieron nuevamente…

Brazil starts booster shots while many still await a 2nd jab – The Washington Post

Some cities in Brazil are providing booster shots of the COVID-19 vaccine, even though most people have yet to receive their second jabs, in a sign of the concern in the country over the highly contagious delta variant. Rio de Janeiro, currently Brazil’s epicenter for the variant and home to one of its largest elderly populations, began administering the boosters Wednesday. Northeastern cities Salvador and Sao Luis started on Monday, and the most populous city of Sao Paulo will begin Sept. 6. The rest of the nation will follow the next week. France, Israel, China and Chile are among those countries giving boosters to some of their older citizens, but more people in those countries are fully vaccinated than the 30% who have gotten two shots in Brazil. A U.S. plan to start delivery of booster shots by Sept. 20 for most Americans is facing complications that could delay third doses for those who received the Moderna vaccine, administration officials said Friday.

Pediatric COVID Cases Are Skyrocketing—Yet Some Parents Still Rage Against Virus Guidelines – Mother Jones

The consequences of ignoring public health restrictions are grim. More than 220 children’s hospitals are pleading with the Biden administration for help as the increasing number of child patients are straining the staff and their facilities. “Our children’s health care safety net is under unprecedented strain,” Children’s Hospital Association CEO Mark Wietecha said in a press release. “Children’s hospitals and their dedicated staffs are doing their part, and we hope every American, the White House and Congress can help.” Unfortunately, not everyone is concerned about the safety of children. An alarming number of parents have tried to interfere with public health protocols at schools.

Texas Medical Association condemns new law that bans most abortions | The Texas Tribune

The Texas Medical Association slammed the state Legislature on Friday, calling its passage of two anti-abortion bills “unconstitutional” and an interference with the fundamental patient-physician relationship. “Enough,” the organization wrote in a statement. “The Texas Medical Association supports our physicians specializing in women’s health and opposes legislation in Senate Bill 8 of Texas’ 87th legislative session and Senate Bill 4 of this special session. SB 4 contains language that criminalizes the practice of medicine. Both bills interfere with the patient-physician relationship.”

At least 45 Texas school districts shut down in-person classes due to COVID-19 | The Texas Tribune

At least 45 small school districts across Texas have been forced to temporarily stop offering in-person classes as a result of COVID-19 cases in the first few weeks of the new school year, according to the Texas Education Agency. The shutdowns, which affected about 42,000 students as of Thursday, come as cases caused by the highly contagious delta variant have plagued administrators who hoped for a normal return to the school year. Caseloads have left districts scrambling when many have said they have fewer tools at their disposal to combat the spread of the virus and have had to come up with their own strategies that can differ from district to district. Administrators are tasked with protecting students’ and staff members’ health, providing a quality education and staying open enough days to avoid tacking on extra days at the end of the school year. “By far this is worse in terms of planning than last year,” said Tim Savoy, spokesperson for Hays Consolidated Independent School District, which closed some classrooms. “There’s no question about it. Last year we had a lot of tools at our disposal: We could require masks, and we could provide a virtual option that was funded. … [T
