This.
The Episcopal Church's bishop of Europe, Mark Edington, on the unrest of student protests in Paris. You don't have to be religious to agree with him. Students are rightly worried about their futures.
[recorded at the American Cathedral in Paris]

Just back from holiday. How come most people still haven’t realised that if you stand a yard back from the baggage carousel, everyone can see the bags, then step forward when theirs appears?
Instead, they crowd the edge like their suitcase might make a break for it. 😳

Bir insanın ne okuduğunu kitaplığından çok, konuşurken anlarsınız. Çünkü bazı insanlar okuduklarını anlatmaz; düşünürken onları kullanır. Sohbetin bir yerinde mutlaka bir kitap,bir yazar, bir fikir kendini belli eder. Bence asıl birikim budur: Gösterilmeyen ama hissedilen.

While listening to council meetings in Montreal, local mayor Sue Montgomery decided to knit in red when men spoke and in green when women spoke, when similar numbers of both attended.
Day 1 results.... #WomensArt

Недавно ходила в другую библиотеку, не ту, куда обычно, а там выставка закладок, которые читатели забыли в книгах 🥺

On paper, I’m in my 50’s & it’s really confusing…
In my head, I’m 35.
At a concert, I’m 25
After 10pm, I’m 72.
Getting up off the floor, I’m 93.
When someone makes me mad, I’m 2
BUT-
When an 80’s song comes on,
I’m 17, drunk in a field, & my mom thinks I’m at a sleepover
🤪

I got a nice ear cleansing for everyone. Here's how the artist actually intended for it to be.

A woman who colors her gray hair is not necessarily “afraid of aging.”
A woman who leaves it gray has not necessarily “given up.”
A woman who cuts it short isn't trying to look younger.
A woman who grows it long isn't refusing to grow up.
A woman who wears makeup isn't insecure.
A woman who doesn't wear makeup isn't making a statement.
Sometimes hair is just hair.
Sometimes lipstick is just lipstick.
Sometimes a woman makes a choice because she likes the way it looks when she sees herself in the mirror, and that is reason enough.
It's remarkable how often women's personal choices are treated as public declarations open for analysis, criticism, and psychological evaluation.
Gray hair becomes a debate.
Dyed hair becomes a debate.
Wrinkles become a debate.
Botox becomes a debate.
Meanwhile, men can go gray, shave their heads, dye their hair, grow a beard, lose a beard, gain twenty pounds, lose twenty pounds, and somehow it's all just considered... existing.
Women do not owe anyone a performance of aging.
They do not owe the world gray hair to prove confidence.
They do not owe the world hair dye to prove they still care.
They do not owe anyone an explanation at all.
If she wants to color it, great.
If she wants to leave it gray, great.
If she wants purple streaks at 75, even better.
The point is that it belongs to her.
And that should be the end of the conversation.

La historia no ocurrió por capítulos. Todo esto estaba ocurriendo al mismo tiempo.
Este gráfico intenta comprimir unos 5,000 años de historia en una sola imagen. Es inevitablemente incompleto y simplifica muchísimo, pero tiene una virtud extraordinaria: nos obliga a abandonar la forma lineal en que normalmente aprendemos historia.
Ejemplos fascinantes:
Cleopatra vivió más cerca de nuestro tiempo que de la construcción de la Gran Pirámide de Guiza.
Existe evidencia de enseñanza en Oxford desde 1096, siglos antes del apogeo mexica.
Mientras en Europa surgían y desaparecían reinos e imperios, simultáneamente ocurrían procesos completamente distintos en China, India, Persia, el mundo islámico y América.
Esa es quizá la mejor manera de leer este gráfico, no como un mapa exacto de la historia universal, sino como un mapa de la simultaneidad de la historia.
Y una advertencia importante: África y buena parte de América están claramente subrepresentadas.
Aun así, vale la pena ampliarlo y perderse un rato en él. 🌎

More than 250 years before Pantone, an artist documented every imaginable color in a 900 page book. In 1692, A. Boogert wrote a Dutch book about mixing watercolors and how to create specific hues by adding water.
