POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Written by @eet.nyc.1
Illustrated by @rosasquith

I was once billed for a medically-necessary procedure that my insurance reassured me it would cover. Then (surprise, surprise) I received a bill for $5,000. I decided to call the hospital to haggle the bill down, and they immediately agreed to knock the final cost down to $500. I should’ve been overjoyed, but, instead, I got so angry, as the whole experience demonstrated how arbitrary (i.e. greedy!) the price tags on medical procedures often are in America.

‼️La violenza di genere può essere contrastata solo attraverso un'educazione sessuale ed emotiva che inizi sin dall'infanzia.

🔎⁉️È necessario analizzare e interrogarsi riguardo al ruolo che il piacere fisico riveste nella percezione collettiva.
🤔La questione fondamentale è se il piacere debba essere considerato esclusivamente come un'esperienza meramente sensuale o se possa avere una valenza più ampia, fino a essere considerato come un elemento costitutivo dell'identità stessa.

😒Sfortunatamente, il processo di apprendimento della sessualità rimane ancora fortemente influenzato dai modelli patriarcali di comunicazione, che spesso riducono il corpo femminile a una mera rappresentazione di oggetto sessuale. Questo contribuisce a creare una rappresentazione distorta e sessista della sessualità.

📚💜Per un'educazione sessuale e affettiva sempre e ovunque!✊🏼

Sharing the work of the art and writing class @islingtoncentre over the last couple of weeks. Today is #worldtraumaday . Islington Centre provides vital services for displaced people. In a callous and hostile climate people often wonder how to help. Young people ask - what can we do to help in community? @amnesty ‘it’s better to light a candle than to curse the darkness’ rings true to me and is a guiding light. To find out more about the work of @islingtoncentre visit their website. Since @janerayillustration invited me to join her at what has become a ‘hearth’ table over a decade ago, the people of our earth have taught me the simple lesson of sitting together to immerse in something of shared humanity . Despite all the trauma of people’s stories - to paint and reach for words to express lies at the very core of human creativity. The team of young artists, poets, linguists, lawyers, marketeers, psychologists etc who are drawn to the community grows every day. This is hopeful, heartful, unifying work - a counter narrative and a counter culture . I hear that good news doesn’t sell - but some experiences cannot be commodified. If you can find or create a hearth in your communities it might just be the change you want to see in the world. #worldtraumaday

Food For All
Mary Hoffman and Ros Asquith
Otter-Barry Books
We all - humans and creatures large and small - need food in order to live. Some, including lots of humans eat other animals, some eat plants and some eat fish and other sea creatures. Interestingly, as the extraterrestrial creature that comments on various pages informs us, the largest creature on planet earth - the blue whale - eats krill, one of the tiniest. It’s not the only being that makes thought-provoking comments from time time time; so too do various animals and humans of different ages.
Almost twenty aspects of food and feeding are explored starting with growing food for both human consumption and for animals. This is followed by a look at what plants require to grow and the topic of chemicals is mentioned - their uses and the harm they cause. There’s a spread about harvest and a look at associated festivals in various parts of India.
For me the most distressing fact is that despite there being more than enough food in the world for everyone, starvation still abounds and even in rich countries like the USA and Great Britain, there are many people who need to regularly rely on food banks. Equally shocking is that there is an awful lot of food wastage. But there are things that all of us can do.
Mary Hoffman’s engaging style makes a wealth of information easily digestible for primary age readers and Ros Asquith’s droll illustrations help keep the tone of the whole book light and inviting.
A thought-provoking book that offers a wealth of discussion topics.
