In "Stop Telling Women To Smile" by Tatyana Fazializadeh uses her arresting street art portraits to explore how women experience hostility in communities that are supposed to be
homes.She addresses the pervasiveness of
street harassment,it's effects and the kind of activism that can serve to counter it.
The result is a cathartic recognizing with the aggression women endure,and an examination
of what equality truly entails
Peter Wehner explains to Tim Miller why white evangelicals continue to be red hot for Donald Trump's return to the White House:
"The grievances and resentments and anger are just pulsating on the American right and within evangelical circles. People felt dishonored and disrespected."
good question "Why are we all so angry these days?"
"[..] fear became important as a component... rather than being a defensive mechanism, it started to eclipse the very values that it was supposed to be protecting.... democratic countries have engaged in many dubious moral campaigns over the many decades since World War II, like the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the propping up of brutal right-wing dictatorships across the globe."
We all need to vent after a bad day, right? It’s the equivalent of releasing steam from a pressure cooker, it’s long been believed. Researchers at Ohio State University, however, found “not a shred of scientific evidence” to support catharsis theory, as it’s called. In fact, venting might increase anger. Science Alert has more, including effective methods of managing your rage. https://flip.it/2GK2Gq #Science#Health#Anger#AngerManagement#Behavior#Humans
Joshua Russell had pleaded guilty to a fed charge of making an interstate #threat against #Hobbs, a Dem who was AZ’s chief #elections officer in 2022 & is now the state’s gov.
…In a doc written by Russell & submitted to the court, Russell described his situation at the time he made the #threats, saying he was depressed & angry & that his drug use fueled his isolation.
“All I did was hide in bed all day scrolling thru #socialmedia & #political forums – looking at blogs or anything that could serve as an outlet for my pent up #anger…,” Russell wrote.
Russell also wrote an apology letter to #Hobbs, saying #socialmedia & news stories had become another #addiction for him, but has since taken courses on #anger management & substance abuse.
“I am truly sorry for my actions. I’m not a violent man, I am a broken man. No one should be the target of such disrespectful behavior,”Russell told Hobbs in the letter.
Wives of Russian mobilized men went to Putin's election headquarters to find out what should be done to get their husbands back from the front.
A representative of the headquarters told them a lot of interesting things:
◾️ "Your husband is the only one who wants to go home";
◾️ "Men are unique creatures and want to fight";
◾️ "Letting fighters go back to their families is to humiliate their dignity". #AureFreePress#Ukraine️ #Russia#Putin#Moscow#wives#anger
I Won the Election and He Was the Loser’: #Biden, Showing #Anger and #Passion, Torches Trump
"You can’t be pro-#insurrectionist and pro-American. #Trump his #MAGA supporters not only embrace political #violence but they laugh about it. At his rally he jokes about an intruder, whipped up by the big Trump lie, taking a hammer to Paul Pelosi’s skull, and echoing the very same words used on #January6 6: ‘Where’s Nancy?’ And he thinks that’s funny. He laughed about it.”
I was reading yet another story on Sapta Rishi by Amar Chitra Kadha today. There was a very beautiful story on #rage and #anger. There has never been a time a curse/words of anger has not harmed the host. A very #beautiful#story Not revealing the spoilers, check out
"Raging with an inhuman desire to inflict pain in combat and shed blood in punishment, it cares nothing for itself provided it can harm the other: it throws itself upon the very weapons raised against it, hungry for a vengeance that will bring down the avenger too."
