Que essa não seja a sua última opção

Vivaldi translation:
May this not be your last option
I am perplexed by a “compromising” situation – which is violence against women. Domestic violence (intra-wall violence), which in my opinion, is brutality, the consequences of which are something that destroys the victim’s psychological, and I do not speak of physical sequelae, but sometimes that which is not even family, the best psychologist, psychoanalyst, medicine. In short, everything that this woman can look for to try to dilute the consequences of this violence in her life, that is, to try to revert “part” of what she felt and feels in the face of the horror she lived […] . Before you have the courage to expose yourself You, analyze with me! You understand what I’m saying? And there are women telling those who get beaten up “to keep quiet”. I asked: how??? What century do you live in? Women don’t have to keep quiet, no.
Woman has to talk!..
For centuries, silence has been precious to men. Today, no more. Try to analyze the statistics, see the number of women’s deaths that happen each year. Feminicide is the result of what many have been silent, others who have emerged from violent relationships, have died, it is true. But, they denounced their aggressors.
He suffered violence? Speak.

Marii Freire Pereira.

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Estou perplexa diante de uma situação ” comprometedora”- que é a violência contra a mulher. A violência doméstica ( violência intramuros), o que no meu entender, é uma brutalidade, cujas as consequências é algo que destrói o psicológico da vítima, e não falo das sequelas físicas, mas às vezes aquilo que nem família, o melhor psicólogo, psicanalista, remédio. Em suma, tudo o que essa mulher possa procurar para tentar diluir as consequências dessa violência na sua vida, ou seja, para tentar conseguir reverter ” parte” do que sentiu e sente diante do horror que viveu […] . Antes de ter coragem para se expor Você, analisa comigo! Você entende o que estou dizendo? E tem mulher dizendo para aquelas que apanham ” ficarem caladas”. Perguntou eu: como??? Em que século você vive? Mulher não tem que ficar calada, não.
Mulher tem que falar!..
Por séculos, o silêncio foi precioso aos…

Torn To Pieces

Filosofa's Word

This country, the United States, is being torn into pieces.  I have never actually despised as many people as I do today, and I know that I am not alone.  We cannot seem to agree on anything, not even the safety of the nation’s children.  We cannot agree on whether or not to be vaccinated against a deadly disease, or whether to wear a mask for protection against that deadly disease.  We cannot agree on whether money should be spent to repair our crumbling physical infrastructure, and we certainly cannot agree that in this, the time of a massive, wide-spread pandemic, people should be helped.

I laugh when I think of the name of this country:  The UNITED States.  There is no unity left today … and why?  Political posturing.  There are two distinct sides with little in the middle and that’s just how the politicians want it.  It’s a…

US COVID-19 cases back to pre-vaccination levels | CIDRAP

For the first time since February, the United States reported more than 900,000 COVID-19 cases last week—with the country represented 20% of global cases—a sign the pandemic surge caused by the Delta (B1617.2) variant has stalled the progress made by an aggressive vaccine rollout that dampened cases this spring and summer.

Cases are on the rise in 46 states, according to USA Today. Hot spots continue in Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Oregon, Hawaii, and Mississippi. Oregon reported 11,564 cases in the week ending Friday, the paper said, topping its December pandemic peak by more than 7.2%.

The United States reported 38,482 new COVID-19 cases yesterday and 382 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 tracker. The 7-day average of new daily cases is 130,218, according to the Washington Post tracker. New cases have risen 16.8% in the past week, while deaths have climbed by 23.6% and hospitalizations by 14.9%.

Déjà vu as bauxite company pollutes an iconic Jamaican river, yet again · Global Voices

This is a long-standing problem. Over decades and under different management/ownership, Windalco has received multiple breach notices and are currently the defendants in a legal case filed by the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) over a 2019 discharge into the river which resulted in a massive fish kill and several persons falling ill.

After preliminary tests, NEPA has stated that Windalco is likely responsible for Monday’s fish kill in the Rio Cobre. They have said that Windalco is in breach of the Wild Life Protection Act and the Agency is contemplating legal action against them. The repeated nature of these offences suggests a lack of respect for Jamaica’s environmental laws and regulations and the human rights of those who have been negatively affected.

If Global Warming Continues The Earth Will Be Too Hot to Sustain Life

FunWritings

We can do something new

We don’t need to wait until we are feeling blue

We can use less of the cars that will pollute the air

And start telling the children more about environmental care

Changing the way we build environmental protection awareness can cause more people to act

With an increase in recycling and the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions we could see an impact

We could see reduced pollution as we try to get rid of the climate crisis and all the problems we are now facing

The way in which we teach children about environmental protection, needs replacing

Photo by Nghu0129a Phu1ea1m on Pexels.com

Sustainability is a great goal that we should try to achieve

We will start working towards it, when we believe

Earth is our only home and we need to try to make our future bright

If we keep on working hard we…
