Everything seems a little insane right now. I've always wondered how the witch hunts ever happened, but now it seems that we are headed that way again, hopefully without the same level of blood shed. Just a short blog post about this: roxmadeira.com/blog/

President Donald Trump previously questioned why the U.S. would accept immigrants from Haiti and “shithole countries” in Africa. His new policies suggest he will now expel many who are already there 🤨 We all know that much of the poverty is due to the politics & greed of the global north

All 👀 on Congo. The Congo Basin is home to the largest and most diverse group of active hunter-gatherers in the world today and also the second largest rainforest. It's land, and people have been & are being ravaged by war, rape, and violence as the world scrambles for its wealth of resources.

Witch hunts are a continuing global problem. Many happen in rural areas to people who can not report the violations due to fear, abuse, and not knowing how to report it. Alleged witches can be burnt, beaten, and suffocated. Listen to my recent podcast with Leo Igwe in Nigeria explaining more.

Photo of clay womb
Hello 👋 its always hard to know what to start with! So here is a photo of a clay model of a womens womb from 3rd-4th century BCE. It shows an oval uterus, a section of the cervix, and 2 small tubes. In past centuries, people often left offerings of copies of body parts that they were hoping to heal.
