#families
Forget the #fiction of Saving Private Ryan, whole #families were wiped out during the wars.
Families were decimated for king and country. Read the many names from each #family on this #memorial in Runton, some lost sons in both wars.

"Before we can effectively go forward in terms of #economic #policy, it's necessary to know where we are at. And for #working #families in this country, the situation is not good."

Es gibt viel zu tun, um Konflikte zu beenden, um all die vielfältigen Wunden und Probleme zu heilen. Es ist fast unmöglich, die Probleme aus der Ferne anzugehen. Eine größere Chance liegt darin, unsere eigenen und lokalen Probleme anzugehen, um Befreiung, Freiheit und Erfüllung zu erreichen.
Doch unsere Tendenzen und die Informationen und Medien lenken das Potenzial zur Befreiung von uns selbst ab.
Es ist an der Zeit, zu meditieren.

There is much to be done to end conflicts, to heal all the multiple wounds and problems. It is almost impossible to tackle the distanced problems. A greater opportunity lies in addressing our own and local problems to achieve liberation, freedom and fulfillment.
However, our tendencies and the information and media deflect the potential for liberation from ourselves.
It is time to meditate.
A song about victims of war, the soldiers and, the children, mothers, wives, all the displaced, and waiting for their loved ones.
Kun mun kultani tulisi (If only came my loved one)e
☮︎ 🇺🇦 🎶
Hanni Autere:
I dedicate this song to all those who are waiting for their loved ones from war. I’m currently thinking of the Ukrainian war, but also all other wars that occur on this planet. This way I can show my support to all the mothers, wives, neighbours and friends who are terribly afraid for their sons, husbands and friends. This text is about someone who can’t stop hoping for the best. It’s also about the greatest kind of love; endless, unconditional and gratuitous.

Childhoods have got worse in Britain, survey reveals | Children | The Guardian
Charity says children’s futures blighted by Covid, mental health issues and financial hardship
Imran Hussain, the director of policy and campaigns at Action for Children, says:
“It is the fundamental responsibility of any government to make sure every generation of children has a better childhood and a brighter future than the last, but day in, day out our frontline staff support families faced with making decisions about whether to put the heat on or put food on the table.”
He's got that right. The major concern of the Tory government and their rich mates, not the children. They're a shameless bunch.

Mexican gothic : Thank you @silviamg for let me glow with this amazing story. While I was reading this amazing #book, I was fearless by the the transmutation of the sinister owner of the mine. But on my last dreams I was listening my childish female voice telling me "Open your eyes".

**Victory 75 **is a moving collection of short stories, written to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of VE Day.
These stories are filled with thoughtful reminiscing, friendships, loves found and loves lost, spirituality, and even a bit of hilarity..
Patricia, Annie and Jean by Paul White tells of relationships, Butterflies of Dunkirk by Claire Plaisted gave me chills and goosebumps, and Rosemary for Remembrance by Julia Blake brought tears to my eyes.
There is a story or two for everyone. I guarantee that they will stir your emotions and thoughts and stick with you long after you close the book.

The #Government Just #Decided To #Kill #Hundreds Of #Sea #Lion #Families
The U.S. government just did something terrible for sea lions — it made it legal to kill nearly 1,000 of these animals every year, merely for trying to feed themselves and their families.

New CBS reality show exploits poor families by making them grovel for $101,000
[…]
It’s hard to imagine a network #executive didn’t get the idea for this show from the “Button, Button” episode of #The_Twilight_Zone. #The_Briefcase focuses on two #middleClass families—a questionable but highly #American take on the phrase, since both are #debt saddled, with one primary #breadwinner, and essentially living on the edge of #financial ruin. Both are told they’ll be participating in a #documentary about #money. Instead, a producer from the show unexpectedly comes to their house with a #suitcase full of cold, hard cash: $101,000 to be exact. That could be a #life-changing – and in the case of families so near the financial cliff, nearly #life-saving – sum of money. But this being #realityTV, instead of just #giving them the cash, there’s a major catch.
Both #families are informed that somewhere out there, there’s another #family “who’s also in need,” and are given a #choice: “You can keep all of the #money, you can keep some of the #money, or you can give it all away.” Neither family knows that the other family also has a suitcase full of #cash and is #debating how much, if any, they’ll #share. And since both families were originally told they were merely going to be the subjects of a documentary, neither of them really signed up for this exercise in televised #torture.
