One and Other: 100 days of raw humanity as art
2009-07-25 16:30:00 There is a plinth at Trafalgar Square in London, England that will host 100 days and nights of human performance/intervention/being- in what may be the longest art performance ever mounted. Certainly one of the oddest. But also perhaps most apropo for a time whose shiniest cultural trait is a willingness to participate in making culture rather than (only) consuming it.
Spirit of Humanity in Gaza (Free Gaza Movement)
2009-06-30 00:41:00 In trepidante attesa di uno nuovo sbarco dei miei compagni del Free Gaza Movement, propongo un nuovo video per ricordarvi CHI UCCIDE I MORTI: Oggi un edificio danneggiato dai bombardamenti israeliani dello scorso gennaio, è collassato a Est di Gaza, seppellendo sotto 4 persone, una delle quali è morta. Sono 21000 gli edifici distrutti e danneggiati dall'offensiva israeliana "piombo fuso", e ancora non si vede ombra di ricostruzione. Questo per volontà criminale d'Israele che non permette il passaggio di materiali fondamentali per la ricostruzione come cemento, ferro e vetro. I miei amici del FGM stanno navigando verso di con alcuni di questi materiali, oltre a molti attivisti per diritti umani, profughi palestinesi, un premio nobel per la Pace e parlamentari. Domani li aspetteremo alle 14 al porto di Gaza city. Sperando che nella nottata la marina israeliana non si macchi di pirateria...

I'm trying to get the message out to warn humanity.
2009-06-13 13:44:00 What's the single greatest problem facing humanity today? If you said "finding good, low-priced used Mazda Parts," well, I have to tell you that you're wrong. Sure, finding good cheap auto parts online WAS a problem, but it's not any longer, because if you just go to quality auto parts.com,(or, as the net puts it, www.qualityautoparts.com) you can find and order parts for your car or truck online and save tons of money. Which can be handy, in a couple of ways. Or a three-ful of ways: First, it can be handy if you're a fixer-upper kind of guy: you know what parts you need and you know how to put them in, so why pay premium prices? Getting them online is cheaper and cheaper is better.Second, if you use a mechanic, you can order the parts yourself and avoid a hefty markup on them: Again, cheaper = better.Third, if you get your auto parts online, you'll not only get the right part cheaper, but you'll have a working car for when the Earth must face the ACTUAL greatest proble...
Experience as a Survival Imperative, for Humanity and Our Earth
2009-06-02 18:16:00 Elemental Beauty - Image c Lynda Lehmann 2009A few days ago I read Robb's post Troubled Waters, at Musings at Aorotea. Robb's posts always resonate with me. They speak truths that many of us don't take the time to articulate, and his passion and wisdom inspire me. You might want to go over to read it and see if you feel the same way. Robb's heartfelt post moved me to write this related post.Thinking about Robb's words, I remembered canoeing on stretches of the Delaware in places where my oar could not cut through the tangle of weeds nurtured by fertilizer runoff from surrounding farms. It was literally impossible to pull an oar through that underwater thicket. I'm sure that over the years, many would-be canoers have had to turn back when the going got tough, as we did. It was difficult and very sad to have to explain to our then six-year-old daughter, why we couldn't continue downstream.I've seen pristine jewels of azure blue lakes...

The Humanity of it: A Brief History of Humanism in less than Thousand Words
2009-02-27 05:01:00 It may have been the Sophists of ancient Greece who have first put humanity on the ?map? and given humans a philosophical context. It was a step away from the pre-Socratic philosophers who were mostly interested in the phusis, the physical elements of nature. Yet after Protagoras man was suddenly made the ?measure of all things? and was a subject worth studying. Socrates, in fact, realized that every human being had a universal capacity; regardless of sex or social status; everyone could reason and through logic and the constant questioning of values they could be able to attain states of truth and wisdom. One of the points Socrates may not have been completely agreeing with is the Sophist claim that truth is relative and merely depends on one?s culture and upbringing.The practical Romans were less interested in the study of humanistic values, but preferred to look for bravery and heroism in each individual, in addition to politics and rhetoric, of how to manipulate people and gain ...

"Obama Works" partners with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity
2008-09-15 04:47:00 Founded in 1976, Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to the simple idea that shelter from rain, wind and sun is a basic human need. Obama Works is a national grassroots organization comprised of volunteers dedicated to implementing Senator Barack Obama's message of positive change through public service.This is what COMMUNITY ORGANIZING is all about!On September 13th, 2008, the Obama Works Twin Cities group partnered with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity to apply some elbow grease to two projects in Minneapolis. Hearty volunteers under the guidance of Master Gardeners who volunteer with HFHI helped a family beautify their home, and neighborhood. They may not be entirely comfortable with operating the lawnmower, but they've got curb appeal.Read the full story at Actualizers, and please pass along this example of how Obama's history inspires acts of community service.Pictures and video amplify the story of volunteers beautifying a Habitat Home in south Minneapolis on behalf the the n...

Some (Imperfect) Humanity From John W. McBush
2008-08-19 20:00:00 I didn?t watch any of that Saddleback business the other night between the presumptive nominees for president, partly because I think the whole exercise was meant to inflate the profile of Rick Warren beyond what I believe he deserves (I realized later that I should have given my post on this last Thursday the hardly-original title of ?The Purpose-Drive Hype?).Of course, though, you can expect those individuals in our corporate media who claim some notion of spirituality (such as Michael Gerson of the WaPo here) to state decisively that his performance in this forum somehow represented a victory for John W. McBush. See, Obama?s cool detachment, as Gerson sees it, is a vice, whereas McBush?s ability to provide snap answers thus humanizes him in our eyes (implying that Obama is some sort of an automaton; one of the reasons I hate to hear politicians talk about faith like this is because it?s so damn easy for pundits to spin these exercises anyway they want).As Gerson tells us, though,...

Which was a great sentiment...until I came face to face with a picture of Antipodium's Vile body jumper. I can't decide if this is some kind of (very obscure) Evelyn Waugh tribute...or a reference to that fact that no-one is going to look good dressed in what is essentially a variation of a 1920's bathing suit with buttons on the nipples...either way I can't think of a more fitting name.
