A message and a Lesson from Norway 🇳🇴 💙💙

OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

As a father of five kids, I totally agree with this evergreen post.

Justice Ketjani Brown Jackson wore a collar made of cowrie shells along with a pair of matching earrings over her black robes to the presidential inauguration. The shells were used as currency in some 16th Century African cultures, & also signified protection & prosperity, & the National Museum of African American History & Culture reminds us that they appeared as amulets in America & “may have been brought to America as talismans to resist enslavement”

& that’s that on that.
