defending democracy

Alright folks - it's time to confirm what this whole thing is about. It is not about abortion. It is about women's rights.

It's all about our privacy. It is about our ability to exercise any choice in our life. It is about our right to make our own decisions for ourselves.

This Sunday wonder | wander | world celebrates Mother's Day across the globe. 

In the Philippines the leading presidential contender is a charismatic and popular woman majority of Filipinos are rooting for. 

Here in the US, with the leaked supreme court draft to overturn Roe vs Wade, we are marching in the streets once more to loudly protest our distrust for yet another institution of government. 

To soothe our ravaged spirits, we turn to the words of wisdom from poet laureate Amanda Gorman: 

National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman on Abortion Bans

Listen to Amanda Gorman demonstrate her commitment to poetry as activism in a video from NowThis News. Where she addresses the importance of keeping abortion legal and stated eight reasons why we should “stand up … against abortion bans in the United States." 

more fun & fierce females

A recently published article on Smithsonian Magazine paid tribute to women whose remarkable lives deserve biopics.

From Renaissance artists to aviation pioneers, suffragists and scientists, these women led lives destined for the silver screen.

The list includes Artemisia Gentileschi, Wilma Mankiller, Bessie Coleman and other Oscar-worthy women

The article was a rebuke of the latest Oscar Awards where once again the nominees were predominantly white and male. Of the 20 men and women nominated for acting awards, only one—Harriet’s Cynthia Erivo—is a person of color.

Despite strong offerings from the likes of Greta Gerwig, Lulu Wang and Lorene Scafaria, the list of Best Director contenders is all-male for the second year in a row.

Maybe it is time for only white males to show up for this incredibly biased and outmoded event. All others should avoid it like we would the latest trending star - the corona virus.

Until then we focus our floodlights on these feisty women instead. May more of them rule royally.
