This is beautiful - and it’s a great way to bond with your daughter. Good on you for inspiring the rest of us and I love the comments on this post. We all certainly need to decompress in these very challenging times. We’re all in this together. Thank you for sharing this work - continue to do so if you’re up to it!
Thank you for posting this.
I think it has to do with this part in your quote:
Some of the sister vessels in each of their wider fleets have made calls to Israeli ports in the past year, shipping data analysis shows.
Sergey Brin is a Nazi and a genocide enabler.
Good riddance, genocide enabler. Don’t let the door slam you on the way out.
Davis said that over the last two decades, most of the terror attacks in Canada have been perpetrated by ideologically motivated violent extremism.
“We’re not talking about al-Qaida and Islamic State. We’re talking about anti-Muslim, ‘Incel’ or anti-government extremists. And I think that’s one of those things that Canadians don’t necessarily understand. The Islamic State makes the news, but it’s really this other type of terrorism that’s the real problem in this country.”
I’m going to guess the terrorists in this case are not drag queens, but rather, right-wing extremists.
They found that a U.S. child was 15% to 20% more likely to have a chronic condition in 2023 than a child in 2011. In particular, the prevalence of depression, anxiety, sleep apnea and obesity all increased, as did rates of autism, behavioral problems, developmental delays and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Yikes, that’s bad.
“What we found is that from 2010 to 2023, kids in the United States were 80% more likely to die” than their peers in these nations, he says.
Among infants, these disparities in mortality were driven largely by sudden unexpected infant death and prematurity. In older children and adolescents, the gap was fueled by gun violence, motor-vehicle crashes and substance abuse.
Imagine a child in the US being almost twice as likely to die as compared to a peer in Europe - and it falling down to guns, car accidents, drugs, and lack of healthcare. This is very sad.
I think that’s based on locale. In some English-speaking areas, people might use “holiday” instead.
Very well stated - thank you, LadyButterfly.
Canada, Australia, and now NYC. This is beautiful. We need this idiot imbecile to keep talking.
Beautiful! These small blog entries bring me such joy.
It turns out that most people do not like hatred.
The body approved a measure that the NEA “will not use, endorse, or publicize materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), such as its curricular materials or statistics.” The reasoning: “Despite its reputation as a civil rights organization, the ADL is not the social justice educational partner it claims to be.”
Union members speaking on the floor rejected the ADL’s abuse of the term “antisemitism” to punish critics of Israel, its use of hyperinflated statistics on hate crimes to gin up fears about Jewish safety, and its characterization of calls for Palestinian rights as “hate speech.”
“Allowing the ADL to determine what constitutes antisemitism would be like allowing the fossil fuel industry to determine what constitutes climate change,” said NEA delegate Stephen Siegel from the assembly floor.
NEA members also cited the ADL’s history of discouraging anti-racist organizing, including attacking the anti-Apartheid and Black Lives Matter movements.
I’m glad the educators have dumped this genocide-enabling organization.
Thank you for asking the important question. I came here to up-vote your comment.
This retired priestess is bad-assed and based.
I hope that she’ll be safe. And I hope Israel can be stopped in their ongoing genocide against the people of Palestine.
