Don’t Build Roads, Open Schools

The idea of child care as women’s (unpaid) work holds the issue back in political discussions.

After all, Johnson could invest in one thing right now that would help millions of people get to work just as surely as any road or bridge: child care.

Affordable, high-quality child care is good for gender equality, good for parents’ household budgets and stress levels, and good for the economy. Any investment in care would produce 2.7 times as many jobs as an equivalent investment in construction, according to the Women’s Budget Group, an independent think tank. Nurseries, day-care centers, and kindergartens have been badly hit by pandemic closures, but so have primary and secondary schools, which we should also count as child care. These are not just sites for learning, or places where children go to make friends and develop social skills. Schools are also what allow parents to go to work, earn wages, generate tax income, and contribute to economic growth.

Muhammad Ali - Mudar o presente

... em vez de tentar corrigir o passado. O dia-a-dia está impregnado de uma visão racista (e sexista, porque o que ele diz do branco refere-se ao macho branco) da realidade, como muito bem via Muhammad Ali.

Georgy Kurasov

Americans see Georgy Kurasov as a Russian artist, Russians as an American artist. Painters think he is a sculptor. Sculptors are sure he is a painter.
And when Georgy Kurasov thinks of it, he rather like this borderline existence. Perhaps it what makes it possible to be himself, to be unlike anyone else.

Chanin Building, New York, detalhe.
OMG, alguém olhou para dentro da minha cabeça quando ouço Bach e materializou as imagens que lá se passam mas de um modo perfeito.
Lindo, lindo. A formas, as cores e os materiais, perfeitos uns com os outros. Estáticos e ao mesmo tempo em movimento como forças que se encontram, se fundem e se transformam num perpétuo movimento. Uma harmonia no caos.
E quem imaginou isto? Rene Paul Chambellan, um escultor especializado em escultura arquitectural.

Optimismo II - realizarmos a pregnância da História

... e a capacidade de sonho, talento e perseverança por detrás de tantos edifícios por que passamos todos os dias, materializações dos sonhos de alguém, com um pé no seu tempo e outro na eternidade.
