While it’s very likely that no one other than deep introverts enjoys lockdown restrictions, several polls from the past year show that an overwhelming majority of Canadians support the rules and a large number of them want their governments to be more strict.
(Me: Mohammad Movassaghi unable to wear mask properly either.)
As Myanmar marked three months since the coup on Saturday, many people at home and abroad fear the country is now on the verge of becoming a failed state. The country’s economy is on the brink of collapse. Banks face the constant prospect of a run on deposits as concerns over the country’s stability grow, even in the urban centers. Since the coup, international aid has been suspended, and foreign investors have taken the last train out of town. The UN has warned that half of the country’s more than 54 million people could face poverty next year. Last week, the first prize in the national lottery—normally 1.5 billion kyats (about US$963,000)—was reduced to one third of that amount as people boycott payments of any kind to the government, including paying taxes and buying government lottery tickets.
As of Tuesday, 93 days after the takeover, the old soldier’s achievements can be summarized as follows: a) killing 766 citizens who opposed his rule; and b) arbitrarily arresting some 4,874 people, according to AAPP Myanmar, an independent group monitoring arrests and killings by the junta.
While most of our fellow passengers were sleeping, as usual I woke at 5 am to pull the gear together, dress warmly, step out onto our magic window on the world. Our decision to request a port side cabin continues to pay off. The Cape Rapier lighthouse flashes every few seconds. One of these shots caught the light.
Since 1914 the lighthouse on Cape Rapier, Aysen Provence, Chile, has protected ships on the northern approach to the Gulf of Penas.
Before dawn, February 17, 2016, the light protected us on the Oceania Regatta as we rounded Cape Rapier to enter the Gulf of Penas on route of the Messier Channel, the Fjords of Chile and an encounter with the Iceberg Glacier of Fjord Tempanos.
I begin my day hoping that it goes well than yesterday. Of-course its what most people hope about but what I hope the most is today I don’t have to face my father, today maybe I’ll cry less, maybe someone will make me feel worthy. I look at the mirror and say I am beautiful and I deserve all the love of the world and that is yet to come. When I am in my bed in the morning I think to myself will my problems ever be solved? I wake up with swollen eyes and dark circles not because I studied till late night but because I cried till late night. I try hiding my face from everybody hoping no one notices me. The more I stay at home the more I feel the “black day” recap.(I will tell about black day some other time) The time…
Sometimes I feel like life is just some sick joke on all of us.
The purpose of humanity is to do one thing right? We’re supposed to survive. Yet here we are… spending our entire fucking lives trying to do everything and anything we can to make it to another day… still knowing that we will eventually die.
But besides just surviving for however long we have… I feel like everyone has a desire to leave some sort of mark on this planet. Maybe it’s children, relationships, ideas, music, art or just something miniscule the next generation might have a use for or remember… anything at all.
And I don’t know about you, but I have this deep desire to leave something behind for this world after I’m gone… to make my own mark.
I just worry that I won’t have enough time to figure out what that mark is…
My interests in Western Sahara is personal…..I was there in 1980s and fell in love with the desert and its people…..and ever since I have been watching the international tap-dance being done by the West to prevent the people from having their country back from Morocco.
According to a report from Axios, the Biden administration told Morroco that it would not reverse the Trump administration’s move to recognize Morrocan sovereignty over Western Sahara, which was Rabat’s reward for normalizing relations with Israel.
Sources told Axios that Secretary of State Antony Blinken conveyed the message to Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita in a phone call on Friday. A State Department readout of the call did not…
