The Kurdish Braves,
But for all of us,

India’s Garbage Problem. Who Cleans India?
March 16, 2019
No Comments
India’s garbage problem is vast. Animals clean but also trash. Environmental education is a drop in bucket. Infrastructure is lacking since most people don’t pay tax. Cleaning is highly gendered.

Cows are holy, goddesses are revered, female pilots fly commercial, but are millions of rural women collecting cow dung doing sacred work, or dirty shitwork? Ecological, financial value of rural women’s work is high, but they don’t own anything. Academics give conflicting views on how the work is perceived in the community and by the women.

Female soccer is still a rarity in Israel. I find satisfaction and compensation as a woman with the latest world championship, and thank men who support us. It feels like the last glass ceiling had finally been shattered, just as politics around the globe get very ugly and backwards.
Two Fences and an Island – Trump, Twain, Epstein and the American Dream

Did Trump ever know the joy of painting a fence? Stripping “virgin” islands to strip teenage girls – is this the filthy-rich idea of the American Dream? Buying a private Virgin Island is advertised as “pursuing the American Dream”. Is Mr. Epstein its embodiment? And how is that similar to the ISIS dream? Are we seeing the Brave New World now? Or are science and technology today serving at the behest of the same old vices of individuals, destroying our planet on the go?
