Vi bruker å løfte fram noe viktig på sommerkonserten som avslutter skolekorpsåret vårt.
Jeg spurte hovedkorpset hva de syntes var viktig å ta opp nå, og de svarte rett og slett "Gaza".
Da...blir det slik...
Men hvordan gjør vi dette? Vi kan ikke ta inn over oss krigens råskap og gru sammen med så små barn.. men vi kan løfte fram hjelpere som bidrar til håp i mørket. Velkommen til støttekonsert for Leger uten grenser!
Danish-born Norwegian writer Sigrid Undset was born #OTD in 1882.
Born in Denmark and raised in Norway, Undset had her first books of historical fiction published in 1907. She fled Norway for the United States in 1940 because of her opposition to Nazi Germany and the German invasion and occupation of Norway, but returned after World War II ended in 1945.
Som avholds vet jeg lite om bakrus egentlig, men det minner kanskje om dette.. Dagslyset vekker meg før klokka 7 den 18. mai. Støl i huet og solbrent inni leggene, eller var det omvendt? Tunga er tørr men blir hodepinen verre om en prøver seg på vertikalen?
Nei, dette var kanskje ikke den beste planen, kjære dagslys, kan du legge en ny?
Nei men..er det mulig 😍🥹
Jeg er jo egentlig ikke «korpslærer» i det hele tatt, bare en skarve styreleder uten musikkdidaktisk kompetanse. Men for en 17. mai-hilsen! Snufs..
Someone said it's important say this publicly in the US: so I will. (And I think each of us should, online and to friends)
This November I will vote for Biden.
I would regard not voting for Biden, particularly in: PA, OH, MI, WI, IN, IL,VA, GA, FL, AZ, ME, NC, NH, etc. as a huge error. I'd be disappointed to find out anyone I knew didn't vote. It's one of a long list of things we need to do. We can't skip it.
And still? We deserve better choices, and in the future we shall have them.
@incoherentmumblings From outside the U.S., its politics is a scary and sad spectacle. I’m glad I’m not voting in your elections.
This statement does not make much sense though. The word “worse” itself implies the alternative is non-worse.
And: Naive technological development has given some future US govt an insane surveillance and propaganda apparatus. A fascist government fully taking advantage of that will make effective opposition impossible. No “worse to get better” anymore.
@incoherentmumblings voting alone is insufficient. Voting, informing, organising, fighting to shape the values that contribute to shaping politics and Overton windows has worked and will work. Vote for the persons who can win and be more easily influenced by such organising. Why is this even hard?
I don't love the idea of my money going to fund the companies destroying the world, but most mutual funds seems to do that, and the banks, who knows what they do?
So I've started #investing a bit of my money in solar panel infrastructure trough #Trine. They show me exactly where my money goes, and to what: Installing rooftop solar!
I'm supposed to get my money back w/interest, but there's ofc a risk. But the risk from investing in world destroyers is worse, IMO.
