In 1937, the Basque city of Gernika came under severe bombing by the Nazi Luftwaffe and the Italian Aviazione Legionaria.

Picasso was so affected he painted the piece Guernica:

Today (December 8, 2023), Gernika created their own haunting demonstration in solidarity with Palestine:

(If you unmute, beware, there is the very loud sound of an actual air raid siren.)

Adrift

by Mark Nepo

Everything is beautiful and I am so sad. This is how the heart makes a duet of wonder and grief. The light spraying through the lace of the fern is as delicate as the fibers of memory forming their web around the knot in my throat. The breeze makes the birds move from branch to branch as this ache makes me look for those I’ve lost in the next room, in the next song, in the laugh of the next stranger. In the very center, under it all, what we have that no one can take away and all that we’ve lost face each other. It is there that I’m adrift, feeling punctured by a holiness that exists inside everything. I am so sad and everything is beautiful.

Remember that if you want to do more of something, you have to do less of something else. It's that time of year where people set goals for the new year and they have plans and hopes and it's always focusing on what they want to do more of. More studying, more exercise, more crafting, more socialising, more making things from scratch. Okay, great. What are you going to do less of in order to have the time and energy to do more of those things you really want to do?

Not that it’s anybody’s business but not only did she make her own significant salary, but her husband was a PARTNER in a major entertainment law firm and cleared over a million a year so he can afford nice gifts, Just say you don’t think Black women should have nice things 🤷🏾‍♀️
