Better pictures of the Holodomor exhibit in the 10 Stages of Genocide Gallery at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. [Click pic to embiggen. Or open in new tab for even bigger but also grainier.]
Please consider donating to the DHHRM if possible. You may donate in the name of others, such as those who have passed and have asked for donations in their memory be made to institutions of their choice. 
The Empty Baskets graphic novel mentioned on the plaque is available for purchase with 9 others in a collection that you can find at each ‘stage’ exhibit (hence 10 stages of genocide) from the DHHRM museum’s gift shop here. 
The Holodomor was an attempt to wipe out the Ukrainian population of the then-USSR. Up to 10 million died of hunger, froze to death, were shot or hanged, sent to Siberia (where they then also died). To this day it is still denied as being genocide as well as whether or not it was actually a thing that happened at all (Some people will actually claim the Holodomor happened far more readily than the Holocaust. Which kinda turns into people believing that anyone who says the Holodomor happened has to be a nazi/neo-nazi/fascist which of course is Holodomor denial yay paradox). And yes, it didn’t just affect Ukrainians but Poles and some Russians as well (along with a few other ethnicities) but the victim target was predominantly Ukrainian. Incidentally, another stage in the 10 Stages is ‘Denial’ which is exemplified by the Armenian Genocide, (in)famously noted as attaining more than 100 years of denial. 
Anyone who knows the story of the Holodomor cannot have that idea coexist with the idea that anything Russia is doing now is not just another extension of trying to wipe out the remainder of the lines of Ukrainians who have been rebelling since time immemorial. When we talk about how we survived everything, we mean it. We mention the Holodomor constantly as proof of our spirit that Russia has been trying to crush for at least 100 years. It is little exaggeration to say that the Holodomor is one of the first dominoes to fall to bring us to this point of the war in Ukraine. How can you believe otherwise when Commies have been caught saying exactly what we’ve been saying: that the Holdomor was genocide and they chose us because they couldn’t allow us to be alive thanks to what all we represented and treasured: Freedom. (To say nothing of being considered too stupid, too ugly, too lazy, etc.,) And we all know P*tin has lied about the real reasons for the war as we all know the truth: he and Russia can’t stand that Ukraine has been trying to become more independent, to join the geopolitical stage. Same fucking reasons. Same fucking war crimes. Perhaps the same fucking end as the original mass murdering fuckhead of Russia.

Russia is trying to take advantage of the recent Trump-instigated four month gap in US aid to Ukraine by attacking Ukraine's power grid. Since the belated aid package was passed this month, ammunition and weapons have been moving to Ukraine.
To help make up for recent Russian damage to Ukraine's electricity distribution system, Latvia (population 1,821,750) has donated a high voltage transformer and related equipment to Ukraine.
The Latvian joint-stock energy supply company Latvenergo donated a high-voltage transformer, 60 tons of transformer oil, and an air compressor for the restoration of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, according to Delfi. This spring, Russia intensified its air assaults on the Ukrainian energy grid, causing damage to power plants and power distribution facilities across Ukraine. The donated equipment, which includes a TS-250000/330 transformer with a capacity of 250 MVA previously used at the Riga Hydroelectric Power Plant, a GR110 oil-injected screw air compressor, and 60 tons of transformer oil, is expected to contribute to the critical support that Ukraine’s energy system needs in the wake of the Russian bombing campaign.  Latvenergo’s Administrative Director, Arnis Kurgs, emphasized the impact of this donation, stating that the delivered equipment will assist Ukrainian residents at the household level and ensure the water supply and heating of essential facilities such as hospitals and schools.
Kudos to Latvia and Latvenergo for pushing back against Putin! 🇱🇻
Latvia was a "republic" of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) for 51 years after Stalin invaded the country in 1940. Latvians have no illusions about Russia or its intentions. It is now a NATO member and does more than its share in protecting liberal democracy in Europe.
As for the power grid in Ukraine, this war makes a good case for increased use of decentralized solar power. Being highly innovative, Ukrainians are likely to make significant contributions, based on their wartime experience, in the field of solar energy.

Seems pretty innocent, right? No. They’re a nazi. Before the new header on their page, their was one with 2 swastikas on it. They have an animation meme about Stalin, a shitpost with hitler, and another about a Nazi soldier. And they weren’t portraying them as bad people??? They were treating them like characters from an anime or something. You DONT sympathize with these people.
And even worse, I knew the signs were there but I ignored it. I have multiple items on my channel that were inspired by Markusha. My It’s Too Late Meme and Don’t Be Meme. PLEASE REBLOG SO NO ONE ELSE HAS TO FIND OUT LIKE I DID.

I made some additional significant corrections to the English translation and also add a short information. This poem has always deeply touched me since I was a very young girl (some 30 years ago) ..... and personally, I still think, this is one of the most beautiful poems written from one poet to another, so I am re-posting it again.    It always saddens and pains me to the very depth of my Soul, to see only partial quotes of this poem on tumblr: cruelly, with the blood and meat, torn out of the context and the text itself. 
I, emotionally, literally, feel that the “quotes” themselves ........and, I am sure, Marina Tsvetaeva, in her --  tragically, --  unknown and unmarked grave, -- both are hurt, as well too .... ----- each time it happens here, or, anywhere else: being published like that. 
Some poems cannot be just .... partially ... well .... hmmm... “quoted”...... for the sake of “short pretty lines” .... 
This is not the farewell poem by no means, but the first of nine, Tsvetaeva dedicated to the poet O. E. Mandelshtam (1891-1938), who was courting Marina Tsvetaeva in 1916 for 4 months. The farewell is the beginning, the beginning -- is the farewell. Tsvetaeva loved that paradox. In her personal life, as well as, in poems. In this poem she demonstrates the distance and a separation, which she breaks twice by the kiss: in the first and the last quatrains. In 1916 Marina had been married for 4 years, had a daughter and just went through a very painful relationship with Sophia Parnok (who has been referred to as "Russia's Sappho"). The English translation:    No one has taken away anything ! I feel delightful we’ve come to part. I’m kissing you now — across The gap of a thousand of miles.
I understand - our gift is not equal. My voice is calm — for the first time. What is it to you, a young Derzhavin, My ill-mannered rhyme ?
I christen your frightening flight: Young eagle, rise in the air ! You endured the sun without squinting ! — Is my young gaze too heavy ?
I stood, more tender and irrevocably as no one Who have witnessed you gazing after…  I’m kissing you now — across  The gap of a thousand years that separate us.
– Marina Tsvetaeva (1892 - 1941), “ No one has taken away anything ! ” (February 12, 1916 ), translated by Andrey Kneller with my humble corrections  … The images above are the original writings by Tsvetaeva of this poem. The second image is the full version, but too small for me to read the full text after the poem, and I couldn’t find the larger one on the Internet: It reads (the English translation): ---
February 12th 1916 year From Moscow to Peterburg  (?) To O. Mandelshtam -- M. Ts. (NB ! I didn’t know, he is -- coming back !) -- the last line is addressed to the Princess Salomea Nikolayevna Andronikova - Galperin: Osip Mandelstam immortalized her in the poem “Solominka” for her skinniness. “Solominka” in Russian means ”a tiny skinny dry straw”. She was the Legend and the Muse of the Silver Age ....     In her poems, Tsvetaeva many times predicted Mandelshtam’s death of a martyr. Even in this one: “ I christen your frightening flight ...”
Mandelshtam will be arrested in 1938 and charged with “counter-revolutionary activities” he never committed, sentenced to five years in correction camps by the Stalin’s regime, where he died of cold and hunger the very same year, at the age of 47.   And Marina Tsvetaeva will hang herself in 1941 at the age of 49. 
 “It was in Moscow, in the spring of 1916, and I was giving him, instead of myself, the gift of Moscow.” – Marina Tsvetaeva, in a letter to Bakhrakh (1923), referring to Osip Mandelshtam, and farther she continues:  “I was 20 and I told your favorite poet M(andelshtam): “It has always been choking me, this narrowness. You love the world in me, but not me -- in the world. So that “Marina” meant: the world, but not the world -- “Marina”.”  Her last poem to him was on March 31, 1916, his to her -- on June 7, 1916 and all his poems were sensual and erotic, unlike Tsvetaeva’s to him: some ... vague and tender confessions.   *Gavrila Derzhavin (1743-1860), whom Marina Tsvetaeva compares Madelshtam with, was one of the most highly esteemed Russian poets before Alexander Pushkin, as well as a statesman.    The original Russian: Никто ничего не отнял ! Мне сладостно, что мы врозь. Целую Вас — через сотни Разъединяющих вёрст. Я знаю, наш дар — неравен, Мой голос впервые — тих. Что Вам, молодой Державин, Мой невоспитанный стих ! На страшный полёт крещу Вас: Лети, молодой орёл ! Ты солнце стерпел, не щурясь, Юный ли взгляд мой тяжёл ? 
Нежней и бесповоротней Никто не глядел Вам вслед… Целую Вас — через сотни Разъединяющих лет.

The Historians Under Attack for Exploring Poland’s Role in the Holocaust | The New Yorker
The Polish philosopher Andrzej Leder, who is also a psychotherapist, has written about Polish society’s failure to grapple with the enormous changes it underwent in the twentieth century. “Polish society after World War Two and Stalinism was a post-revolutionary society,” Leder told me over Zoom from Warsaw. “It had been very structured, and that was completely annihilated.” Before the war, Jews had formed majorities or large minorities in many small and medium-sized cities; after the war’s end, ethnic Poles moved into their houses and took over their small businesses. Many members of the prewar social and political élites either had been killed or remained in exile, and new people took their places in the state bureaucracy. The postwar division of Europe redrew borders, leaving many people who had lived in what was now Soviet territory displaced inside a new, smaller Poland. Under Soviet occupation, which lasted from 1945 until 1989, property owners were stripped of their assets. Rural residents moved to cities in large numbers. In every way—physical, social, political—Poles were now in places that had been occupied by someone else.
This nagging awareness of having taken someone else’s place animates a fear that is peculiarly common in Poland seventy-five years after the end of the war: the fear of Jews, or their descendants, returning to reclaim their property. Unlike many other post-Communist countries, Poland has not adopted a comprehensive restitution policy. The spectre of the Jews coming back for their real estate, Leder told me, plays into the widespread stereotype of the “ungrateful Jew.” That, in turn, feeds into the more generalized anti-Semitism that goes hand in hand with anti-L.G.B.T. and, more broadly, anti-European sentiment that fortifies the nation’s sense of self and unity against the other.

so one of the military libraries i was looking at suggested Bloodlands and the description they had was “ Timothy Snyder offers a groundbreaking investigation of Europe's killing fields and a sustained explanation of the motives and methods of both Hitler and Stalin. He anchors the history of Hitler's Holocaust and Stalin's Terror in their time and place and provides a fresh account of the relationship between the two regimes.”
I went and looked it up and the description on amazon is
“ Americans think of World War II as “The Good War.” But before it even began, America's ally Stalin had shot and starved millions of his own citizens; he would continue to do so throughout the war. American soldiers liberated concentration camps, but they never reached the death factories, killing fields, and starvation sites in the East where Hitler and Stalin murdered civilians on a massive scale. In twelve years, in deliberate killing policies unrelated to combat, the Nazi and Soviet regimes killed fourteen million people in a zone of death between Berlin and Moscow. At war's end, these bloodlands fell behind the iron curtain, leaving their history in darkness. In Bloodlands, acclaimed historian Timothy Snyder offers a groundbreaking investigation of the place where Europeans were murdered by the millions, providing a fresh account of the atrocities perpetrated by the two regimes. Assiduously researched, deeply humane, and utterly definitive, Bloodlands is required reading for anyone seeking to understand the central tragedy of modern history. “
you have my attention and better have the attention of more westerners.

" #Beauvoir es especialmente famosa por su libro “Le Deuxième Sexe” (El segundo sexo), escrito en 1949 y publicado al año siguiente. En él se trazan las líneas maestras de lo que años más tarde se convertirá en el feminismo de género. Se encuentra en él, por ejemplo, el odio al hombre, al que señala como opresor de la mujer, y el rechazo a la familia, a la que considera una herramienta de opresión.
El libro también contiene un nutrido repertorio de falacias con las que Beauvoir defendía el asesinato de hijos por nacer como un derecho de la mujer, unas falacias que los grupos abortistas han venido repitiendo como loros desde entonces.
En su libro expresa el odio por el embarazo y por el feto: “el embarazo es, sobre todo, un drama que se representa en el interior de la mujer; ella lo percibe a la vez como un enriquecimiento y una mutilación; el feto es una parte de su cuerpo y es también un parásito que la explota;"
Poniéndose a sí misma como modelo a seguir, y a pesar de no haber sido madre, despreció las facultades maternas presentándolas como un sufrimiento: “engendrar, amamantar, no constituyen actividades, son funciones naturales; ningún proyecto les afecta; por eso la mujer no encuentra en ello el motivo de una altiva afirmación de su existencia; sufre pasivamente su destino biológico.
Beauvoir también formuló una de las bases de la ideología de género actual: la afirmación anticientífica de que el sexo carece de fundamento biológico: “No se nace mujer: se llega a serlo”, afirmó en el citado libro. “Ningún destino biológico, psíquico o económico define la figura que reviste en el seno de la sociedad la hembra humana; es el conjunto de la civilización el que elabora ese producto intermedio entre el macho y el castrado al que se califica de femenino.“ Afirmó que “Toda mujer es homosexual por naturaleza”. En línea con lo anterior, y a pesar de que ella mantuvo relaciones con hombres, su pensamiento llevó a Beauvoir a plantear el lesbianismo como lo natural en la mujer, nuevamente poniendo su propia vida como referencia (pues mantuvo relaciones lésbicas con diversas mujeres, incluso con menores): “La homosexualidad de la mujer es una tentativa, entre otras, para conciliar su autonomía con la pasividad de su carne. Y, si se invoca a la Naturaleza, puede decirse que toda mujer es homosexual por naturaleza“. Ésta es una de las ideas más repetidas hoy por el feminismo radical. Defendió a la URSS como el país más feminista en pleno régimen de Stalin.
Beauvoir firmó un manifiesto pidiendo legalizar la pederastia. Hay otros aspectos del pensamiento y de la actividad política de Simone de Beauvoir que hoy en día son ocultados de una forma sorprendente. En sus entradas en la Wikipedia en español, en inglés y en francés no hay mención alguna a este hecho. Sin embargo, el diario izquierdista francés Libération, fundado por Jean-Paul Sartre (que fue pareja sentimental de Beauvoir) recordaba el 23 de febrero de 2001 un hecho ocurrido en 1977. En enero de ese año tres hombres fueron juzgados en Francia por abusar sexualmente, pero sin violencia, de menores de 15 años. El diario Libération publicó un manifiesto reclamando el “reconocimiento del derecho del niño y adolescente a mantener relaciones con personas de su elección”. Simone de Beauvoir fue una de las firmantes de esa carta que defendía la legalización de las relaciones pedófilas, y también de otra carta publicada por el diario Le Monde el 26 de enero de 1977.
Despedida por corromper a una alumna menor de edad. El respaldo de Beauvoir a la legalización de la pedofilia no era casual. Como recordó Andy Martin en The New York Times (medio también progresista) el 19 de mayo de 2013, la ideóloga feminista fue despedida de su trabajo como profesora en 1943 por corromper a una alumna menor de edad. Martin también recuerda que siendo pareja sentimental de la escritora, “Jean-Paul Sartre desarrolló un patrón, al que llamaron el “trío”, en el cual Beauvoir seducía a sus estudiantes y luego se los pasaría a Sartre“." En fin, si la señora Simone de Beauvoir es un referente para las mujeres, y para la lucha por los derechos humanos, los y las invito a leer, y a investigar mejor sobre esta pedófila, pederasta, abortista, e impulsora de la ideología de género.
No hay que dejarse deslumbrar por el titulo de "intelectuales" que les dan a ciertas personas. Hay que leer, investigar, saber qué piensan, qué hacen, qué defienden, qué representan, qué proponen, y luego sí decidir si estamos de acuerdo o no con esas personas, o propuestas. Hoy existen muchas herramientas tecnológicas para hacerlo.

""No se nace mujer: se llega a serlo", dijo Simone de Beauvoir, es decir, lo biológico no deternina el género sino que lo deternina el deseo, con esta basura moral y absurdo científico adoctrinan a los niños en las escuelas. Una persona adulta se ríe de todas estas estupideces, pero un niño las cree porque su maestra se lo dice, de ahí que los padres deben estar atentos hablando diariamente con sus hijos para que la escuela no arruine sus vidas." MVH
Simone de Beauvoir: la partidaria de la pedofilia que formuló las bases de la ideología de género, defendió el aborto y dijo que la mujer es homosexual por naturaleza.
El 9 de enero de 1908 nacía en París Simone de Beauvoir, comunista militante y una de las más importantes precursoras del feminismo de género, la línea predominante hoy en esa ideología.
La mordaza de género prohíbe criticar a una ideología que demoniza a los hombres y son muy pocos los que cuentan el origen ideológico totalitario del actual feminismo de género. Beauvoir fue defensora del odio contra los hombres, a los que consideraba opresores.
Beauvoir es especialmente famosa por su libro «Le Deuxième Sexe» (El segundo sexo), escrito en 1949 y publicado al año siguiente. En él se trazan las líneas maestras de lo que años más tarde se convertirá en el feminismo de género. Se encuentra en él, por ejemplo, el odio al hombre, al que señala como opresor de la mujer, y el rechazo a la familia, a la que considera una herramienta de opresión:
«El hombre ha logrado sojuzgar a la mujer, pero en esa medida la ha despojado de lo que hacía deseable su posesión. Integrada en la familia y la sociedad, la magia de la mujer más se disipa que se transfigura; reducida a la condición de sirviente, ya no es esa presa indomada en la cual se encarnaban todos los tesoros de la Naturaleza.»
Beauvoir defendió el aborto obviando cualquier consideración científica:
El libro también contiene un nutrido repertorio de falacias con las que Beauvoir defendía el asesinato de hijos por nacer como un derecho de la mujer, unas falacias que los grupos abortistas han venido repitiendo como loros desde entonces. La ideóloga feminista llegó a tachar de «humanitarismo intransigente» la defensa del derecho a vivir de esos hijos (no deja de ser una paradoja leer ahora a algunos medios presentándola como una «defensora de los derechos humanos»:
«Las razones prácticas invocadas contra el aborto legal carecen de peso; en cuanto a las razones morales, se reducen al viejo argumento católico de que el feto posee un alma a la cual se le cierra el paraíso al suprimirlo sin bautismo. Es notable que la Iglesia autorice, en ocasiones, el homicidio de hombres hechos: en las guerras, o cuando se trata de condenados a muerte; pero, en cambio, reserva para el feto un humanitarismo intransigente.«
Es curioso ver que en este párrafo Beauvoir justificaba el asesinato de inocentes y lo contraponía a la doctrina católica sobre la guerra justa, basada en el derecho a la legítima defensa, un derecho universalmente aceptado, y no sólo por los católicos. El argumento de Beauvoir es tan cínico como defender el asesinato de un adulto alegando que los polacos, belgas y franceses también mataron a alemanes cuando éstos invadieron su país… Es curioso observar que Beauvoir ni siquiera se detenía a considerar el conocimiento científico sobre el inicio de la vida: lo obviaba sin más, como hoy siguen haciendo muchas de sus seguidoras.
Bauvoir demonizó el embarazo y tachó de ‘parásito’ al hijo por nacer:
Pero Beauvoir no se limitaba a defender el aborto. Además, demonizó el embarazo y tachó al hijo por nacer de «parásito», acusándole de explotar a la mujer. Ella misma decidió no tener hijos, por motivos ideológicos. Esto escribía al respecto en el citado libro: «el embarazo es, sobre todo, un drama que se representa en el interior de la mujer; ella lo percibe a la vez como un enriquecimiento y una mutilación; el feto es una parte de su cuerpo y es también un parásito que la explota; ella lo posee y también es poseída por él; ese feto resume todo el porvenir, y, al llevarlo en su seno, la mujer se siente vasta como el mundo; pero esa misma riqueza la aniquila, tiene la impresión de no ser ya nada. Una existencia nueva va a manifestarse y a justificar su propia existencia, por lo cual se siente orgullosa; pero también se siente juguete de fuerzas oscuras, es zarandeada, violentada.«
Poniéndose a sí misma como modelo a seguir, y a pesar de no haber sido madre, despreció las facultades maternas presentándolas como un sufrimiento: «engendrar, amamantar, no constituyen actividades, son funciones naturales; ningún proyecto les afecta; por eso la mujer no encuentra en ello el motivo de una altiva afirmación de su existencia; sufre pasivamente su destino biológico.«
Negó el origen biológico de las diferencias sexuales:
Beauvoir también formuló una de las bases de la ideología de género actual: la afirmación anticientífica de que el sexo carece de fundamento biológico: «No se nace mujer: se llega a serlo», afirmó en el citado libro. «Ningún destino biológico, psíquico o económico define la figura que reviste en el seno de la sociedad la hembra humana; es el conjunto de la civilización el que elabora ese producto intermedio entre el macho y el castrado al que se califica de femenino.« Este disparate, defendido de forma marginal por ideólogos marxistas durante décadas, ha sido hoy asumido incluso por partidos que de derechas, y está sirviendo para criminalizar y perseguir a todos los que defienden un hecho científico como es el origen biológico de las diferencias entre hombre y mujer.
«Toda mujer es homosexual por naturaleza», afirmó:
En línea con lo anterior, y a pesar de que ella mantuvo relaciones con hombres, su pensamiento misándrico llevó a Beauvoir a plantear el lesbianismo como lo natural en la mujer, nuevamente poniendo su propia vida como referencia (pues mantuvo relaciones lésbicas con diversas mujeres, incluso con menores): «La homosexualidad de la mujer es una tentativa, entre otras, para conciliar su autonomía con la pasividad de su carne. Y, si se invoca a la Naturaleza, puede decirse que toda mujer es homosexual por naturaleza«. Ésta es una de las ideas más repetidas hoy por el feminismo radical.
Defendió a la URSS como el país más feminista en pleno régimen de Stalin:
Todo este proyecto ideológico era enmarcado por Beauvoir en la ideología socialista. En plena dictadura de Stalin, la escritora feminista se deshacía en elogios a la Unión Soviética: «Es en la URSS donde el movimiento feminista adquiere la máxima amplitud», afirmaba en el citado libro. Y añadía: «Son las resistencias del viejo paternalismo capitalista las que impiden en la mayoría de los países que esa igualdad se cumpla concretamente: se cumplirá el día en que esas resistencias sean destruidas. Ya se ha cumplido en la URSS, afirma la propaganda soviética. Y cuando la sociedad socialista sea una realidad en el mundo entero, ya no habrá hombres y mujeres, sino solamente trabajadores iguales entre sí«. Y esto lo decía en apoyo de una ideología que estaba sembrando la opresión, el terror y la miseria en media Europa.
Beauvoir firmó un manifiesto pidiendo legalizar la pederastia:
Hay otros aspectos del pensamiento y de la actividad política de Simone de Beauvoir que hoy en día son ocultados de una forma sorprendente. En sus entradas en la Wikipedia en español, en inglés y en francés no hay mención alguna a este hecho. Sin embargo, el diario izquierdista francés Libération, fundado por Jean-Paul Sartre (que fue pareja sentimental de Beauvoir) recordaba el 23 de febrero de 2001 un hecho ocurrido en 1977. En enero de ese año tres hombres fueron juzgados en Francia por abusar sexualmente, pero sin violencia, de menores de 15 años. El diario Libération publicó un manifiesto reclamando el «reconocimiento del derecho del niño y adolescente a mantener relaciones con personas de su elección». Simone de Beauvoir fue una de las firmantes de esa carta que defendía la legalización de las relaciones pedófilas, y también de otra carta publicada por el diario Le Monde el 26 de enero de 1977 (ver nota al final de la entrada).
Despedida por corromper a una alumna menor de edad:
El respaldo de Beauvoir a la legalización de la pedofilia no era casual. Como recordó Andy Martin en The New York Times (medio también progresista) el 19 de mayo de 2013, la ideóloga feminista fue despedida de su trabajo como profesora en 1943 por corromper a una alumna menor de edad. Alguien podría pensar que el despido se debió a causas políticas, pero el hecho es que Beauvoir había colaborado con Radio Vichy, una emisora del régimen colaboracionista de Pétain ; un hecho que ella misma reconoció en sus memorias. Martin también recuerda que siendo pareja sentimental de la escritora, «Jean-Paul Sartre desarrolló un patrón, al que llamaron el «trío», en el cual Beauvoir seducía a sus estudiantes y luego se los pasaría a Sartre«. Por otra parte, en agosto de 1959 la revista Esquire publicó un controvertido ensayo de Beauvoir titulado «Brigitte Bardot y el síndrome de Lolita», en el que la escritora feminista se mostraba fascinada por el aspecto infantil de la actriz.
En fin, si éste es el referente del feminismo de género en materia de pensamiento, muchas familias tienen motivos sobrados para sentise alarmadas.
NOTA: En el texto me refería inicialmente a una carta firmada por Simone de Beauvoir en el diario Libération, señalando que la carta fue publicada también por Le Monde. Investigando más el tema he comprobado que se trató de dos manifiestos distintos. El primero fue el publicado por Libération y por Le Monde en enero de 1977. Al segundo texto hace referencia Libération en una noticia publicada el 23 de febrero de 2001, que lo cita como «una carta abierta al Comité de Revisión del Código Penal». Es difícil encontrar esta segunda carta. Didier Pleux la cita en la página 149 su libro «Françoise Dolto, la déraison pure de Didier Pleux» (2013).

Posted: Mayo Von Höltz VIII ©
Simone de Beauvoir era una persona que odiaba a la gente feliz y sana que llevaba adelante su propio proyecto de vida, creando riqueza en el mercado y formando una hermosa familia con hijos alegres y sanos, odiaba al capitalismo que es el motor del bienestar y la prosperidad de la humanidad, y se odiaba profundamente a sí misma, en síntesis, era una típica comunista: totalitaria, irracional, fanática, resentida, envidiosa, inmoral, sádica, pervertida, cruel, ignorante y pedófila, no es opinión, es biográfico. Mi opinión es que su influencia en la juventud fue y sigue siendo nefasta.

Four Short Stories
I’ve been sharing quick, minimally constructed stories with my friend Peter, as a way of batting away the rust around my writing. Now that I’ve sat with them for a week or more, and tinkered with them not at all, I’m ready to graduate them to Duck Beater, my horcrux, I mean my blog. 
I HAVE RECENTLY MET SOME VERY POWERFUL GODS
Oh, I stopped going. I gave up the gym because I wasn’t changing. What was my libido then? Tortured, I think, by coltish undergrads in form-fitting sweatpants. Weirdly, I noticed my mood improved if I looked at dogs. If I saw beautiful, loyal dogs in the evenings, open and knowable and kind—I felt my soul swell with every passing. It was a harder kick than studying strangers on the stationary bikes ahead of me. Weirder still, I developed a kind of superstition about these dogs on my nightly jogs. I sought them out, for the contact high. I would say to myself, “I’m gonna see five gods tonight.” Gods not dogs. “I’m gonna see six gods tonight.” I didn’t need to touch them but I did need to pass them and look into their eyes. “I’m gonna see seven gods tonight.” Anyway. That’s why I run outside.
PERFECT GAMES FOR COWORKERS WHO ARE IN LOVE
This one is called “Be Messy, Make Mistakes,” so named for the legend on a coffee mug. The rules are simple:
Wait for it.
Wait a day more for it.
The comparison rankles, but it’s impossibly obvious: Your design lead looks like a young Joseph Stalin (of the 1902 mugshot). Same wavy hair, oiled and swept away from the face, the sides short enough to reveal perfect “number 6” ears. Then the well-groomed beard; the merry dark eyes; the propensity for scarves worn under woolen coats, slightly too large.
Say: “You look like a young Joseph Stalin.” There’s no taking it back. “See.”
Present the results of a quick Google search (two tabs you’ve already opened).
“That’s pretty wild!”
“You’re really a dead ringer.”  
“Well, my family’s Russian.”
“Mm, so—so there could be—”
“A history that ties me to a war criminal, yes.”
You’re sitting side by side now with the perfect excuse to study his face, then the face of young Soso. For this photo, the Okhrana picked up Stalin just after the Batumi Massacre, and his expression, you find, is alight with the flame of revolution. For the sake of comparison, you're allowed to stare deeply, dreamily into your design lead's eyes again.
While he’s here, review some of the updated marketing collateral. Every item earns an affectionate knee touch. (Seriously, he taps your kneecap.)
You say, “New photo.”
He taps.
You say, “Colors print ready.”
He taps.
You say, “Ts and Cs.”
He taps.
Neither of you wins if he leaves his wife and kids.
WHEN THE SHARK BITES
One narrative that preoccupied me during my first serious relationship had to do with the Wright brothers—what the brothers were like as gawky teens. How they celebrated Halloween, where they rode bikes, cemeteries they explored on dares—that sort of thing. I was just out of college and crushing, apparently, on Wilbur, whose photo I’d seen at the Wayne County Historical Museum. I hungered for anachronism. I hungered, too, for love, and so gobbled up a dashing young man in Mississippi. While he fulfilled his tenure in Teach for America, I waited tables in Ohio and, when the spirit moved me, drove out to Dayton to explore the Wright archives.
This was a long time ago, when I was really into Thomas Pynchon and took everything for a sign. Everything conferred a “storm system of group suffering and need,” and there I was, pockets full of cash tips, full up of suffering and need, lamenting the distance from my lover and staunching an uncanny stream of rejection letters from graduate writing programs. Nobody wanted to fund my historiographic metafictions. And who could blame them.
The Wrights were awkward teenagers torqued more fabulously awkward by their mother’s slow death, their father’s increased absences, and the unsuccessful pursuits of their older brothers, who seemed to fail at everything they tried. Wilbur and Orville read widely enough to know their fortunes were unhappy (indeed, they sometimes signed their letters “Smike”). They lived in a small, comfortable city that elevated their ambitions to a high, miserable plateau, and their attempts to paper over poisoned circumstances—to write themselves an antidote—became a project that possibly saved themselves and their younger sister Katherine from fates like those in Dickens’ sentimental tragedies.
The stories I wrote, taken all together, would form The Falconers, a psychological novel that connected slender, depressed fellows to future, strapping heroes. How do lowly men become legends? How do cycling-obsessed boys conquer the skies? (It was that kind of story, with zits.) Thrillingly, my boyfriend moved to Falconer Avenue, just across from the middle school in Holly Springs. Every other month I made the eleven-hour drive, accepting blow jobs and raw dogs and golden showers as reward—monoliths of frantic, first-time sex to confirm our completely successful relationship. And this frosting? Was it frosting! I wrote chapters for The Falconers on Falconer Avenue. The world made perfect sense.
Of course, none of it “came to pass,” as Pynchon’s narrator in Against the Day is fond of saying. The novel fell apart. The boyfriend and I broke up. Still, when I revisit Wright letters and Wright biographies, I’m hounded by a mysterious and entirely inappropriate erection—that is, a kind of Pynchonian kink.
AFTER PICKING A FIGHT IN A BAR
People were gentler with me, I think, with my black eye. It was the week between Christmas and the New Year, I had obviously been in a row, not elbowed, not tripped, and so in addition to looking smaller and darker and sadder than is usual for the holidays, I also looked more crazed and vicious. Why this would compel others to treat me gently does not signify a particular gentleness, or generosity, on their parts—but rather, I detected, a means to protect themselves. If I was not able to defend myself then surely they could defend against me. Kindness is a soft weapon. I rarely wielded it but was nonetheless always disarmed by it. Gentleness did not make me more gentle. I spent the week puzzled by unnecessary soft gestures and soothing voices. I spent the week reminding myself my special treatment was because I looked beat down, not because I was special. Besides, what could that mean? “Special.” Chosen, preferred, anointed, deserving, etc. I sometimes thought about what the world owed me, that week. I landed on “abstention.” Not mercy or forgiveness but rather a quiet space to be alone in earnest, all obligations off, responsibilities tamped down, remission. I had the week off work, which, my brother let me know, was a kind of mercy, because it’s always professionally suspect to arrive at work with a shiner. Colleagues ask questions and bosses harbor suspicions. I was fortunate in that my face could recuperate without scrutiny.

Überfall oder Präventivkrieg: neue brisante Dokumente aufgetaucht!
in einem sind sich die Historiker einig: Es war ein furchtbar blutiger Krieg. Einer, der unzählige Opfer kostete. Gemeint ist der 2. Weltkrieg, insbesondere der deutsch-sowjetische von 1941 bis 45. Da die Sieger anschließend die Geschichte schrieben, war auch der Schuldige schnell ausgemacht: Deutschland!
Dass wir dafür auf ewig büßen sollen, war vielleicht nicht einmal den damaligen Akteuren so bewusst. Inzwischen hat sich in Deutschland ein regelrechter Schuldkult etabliert. Vieles wird an der Kriegsschuldfrage aufgehängt. Hier streiten die Historiker seit Jahrzehnten ziemlich erbittert.
War es ein Überfall auf die Sowjetunion oder ein Präventivkrieg Hitlers, um Stalin zuvorzukommen? Wer zur ersten Partei gehört, verweist gerne auf die Theorie vom Lebensraum im Osten, den es zu erobern galt. So wie es Hitler schon in Mein Kampf bereits 1925 aufschrieb.
Dass Hitler aber vielleicht doch in diesen Krieg getrieben worden ist, entzweit auch die Anhänger der Überfall-These. Denn zu schnell würde klar, dass interessierte Kreise an der Wall Street diesen Krieg mitfinanzierten, wie es in unserer entsprechenden Sonderausgabe Wer finanzierte Hitler so haarklein gezeigt wird.
Der russische Historiker Nikolai Starikow geht noch weiter. In seinem vom Buchhandel boykottierten Buch Wer hat Hitler gezwungen Stalin zu überfallen? spricht er sogar von Erpressung und dritten Mächten, die Hitler diesen Feldzug aufzwangen.
Als wir vor kurzem von einer entsprechenden AfD-Veranstaltung zum Thema berichteten, ging es bei den Kommentaren zum Beitrag bei uns heiß her. Der Titel war Programm „1941 – Präventivkrieg oder Überfall?“.
Auch in der AfD ist dieses Thema äußerst umstritten. Auf der einen Seite stehen der AfD-Ehrenvorsitzende Alexander Gauland und AfD-Chef Tino Chrupalla. Anhänger der These vom Präventivkrieg ist u. a. Stefan Scheil.
Mag man hin- und hergerissen sein von den Argumenten der beiden Seiten, so bekommt die Präventivkriegthese nun jedoch plötzlich mehr Gewicht.  
Denn jetzt sind zahlreiche neue Dokumente aufgetaucht, die der Ex-General der NVA (DDR) Bernd Schwipper vorwiegend in russischen Archiven entdeckt und zusammengetragen hat. Damit lässt sich die These vom Präventivkrieg zumindest nicht mehr so einfach vom Tisch wischen.
Nach Sichtung dieser Dokumente, die Schwipper in zwei aufwändigen Bänden veröffentlichte, könnte sogar die Frage stehen: Muss die Geschichte des deutsch-sowjetischen Krieges vollkommen neu geschrieben werden?

When I was at Governor’s School after the ‘Oh! Are you a Retardican?’ thing and getting volleyball-smashed in my finger for implying something about male-female differences (I did not say ‘traditional’ since I am pro-renovation / Pope Saint John Paul II) - started practicing the piano again, ‘Claire de Lune’ and two of Chopin’s waltzes. I didn’t know any ‘sweet’ music for girls.  As a kid I liked ‘Swans on the Lake.’  One of my other favorites is Liszt’s transcription of the ‘Shepherd’s Song’ or last movement of Beethoven’s fourth symphony.  Weavings and ���declamations(?’).  But to some the weavings are flower-garlands or vine-stems or sth and to some they are chains; I wonder how Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli would interpret the weavings given his ‘bulletization’ of Chopin elsewhere how his fioritura are like a figure-skater using gravity-boots and wires from the ceiling. 
Watched a bit of the Int. Chop. Comp just now and realized - IMO - they’re just using the wrong pianos and have for a long time.  Chopin started out IIRC with sth called a fortepiano and throughout his life preferred uprights to grands; his favorite brand was Pleyel, perhaps ‘rosewood.’  Some of these heavier grands not only obviate the possibility of the miraculous or intuitive or non-personal(?) in the fioritura (chains of gracenotes), but can cause lasting nerve-damage and even dystonia(?)(a kind of paralysis).  NYT of course loves to use STEM and call everything ‘small muscle athletes.’  To achieve certain ‘pellucid(?),’ singing effect the triceps sth sth I think.  To me perhaps the most totally realized pianist of 20C was Uchida Mitsuko but honesty I don’t have the money to know or the time to listen to hundreds of records.  I just felt as though she never threw a note away - she had no ‘personality cult’ as a pianist.  The other I admire from an ethical standpoint Wilhelm Kempff.  Kempff could’ve been a ‘gr8′ Headmaster.  
Milstein, Furtwaengler.  Heifetz as obviously gifted but IDK if I ever felt ‘wow’ or ‘oh’ listening to him.  Milstein’s ‘Chaconne’ starts to rip the chains and weavings both apart; like Bach is attacking his math or rebelling against God.  
I never studied conducting but surely one of the problem has to be giving the violins a ‘true voice’ which Furtwaengler is able to do in ‘Shepherd’s Song’ along with the flutes.  Orchestras need many violins and only a few trumpets ad trombones and on, but even with many the violin section can lack a ‘will to live(?),’ ‘identity,’ ‘face?’  There is a ‘bright’ at the end of his ‘Shepherd’s Song’ - literal ecstasy which IDK how he was able to inspire either the violinists or to get the other sections to back off.  In America there are all these jokes and during choir break they’re playing Mario-songs on the piano.
If you lose everything that was special about you at the end of your life were you ever truly doing what you enacted or acted out?  What was my most specific trait?  Was it ultimately snobbery?  
Lately I want to punch through doors and stuff.  Maybe I ought to go back to the night at the department store with person and person; downtown Milwaukee used to have a ‘certain shade of blue’ to their Christmas-lights in 2008 but today the whole city that I can tell drank warm Burger King milk before singing ‘Deck the Halls’ and it shows.  Like everyone I love ‘The Carol’ and sometimes tell myself 3-gen’s ‘Hail Mary(?)’ moment was ‘Wish Tree.’
At the hagwon I was known for leaving the side-office at the right moment ater telling a joke but it’s really easy to be like that and in the land of lemmings and Ewoks that’s all some people want like 55-year-old male nurse when I criticize him for railroading me - not giving me 1 minute to make a life-crucial decision -he comes at me with my own ‘executive style’ like, ‘How you like me now oppa?’  Like DROP FUCKING DEAD.  I try to make them crisp and considerate but they don’t get that procedure and style have human consequences - that they belong to an organization that impacts lives.  Just banging on their drum... no ‘chain of care,’ no ‘ownership.’  Lt’s just Thatcherize all of Wisconsin!  They actually kill people this way and Biden says social media is killing people.  I wasn’t asking you for peanuts or a glass of OJ I am asking to be allowed to consider my own body, psyche, soul.
And it’s like all of America or the world, Jiang Zemin.  TS 1989 they ask for democracy and not only can CCP not say ‘no’ but they have no process or plan; I don’t even know.  It’s like your pussy bitch father finally tried to an up - a bit like ‘Anna Karenina’ where the husband starts quoting the Bible but who knows what is in his heart or whether he has any [nunchi?]; whether say he LIKES Christianity or would feel sad or disappointed if he lost it? 
CCP ccream at each other in a closed session for days.  I just tell myself again, ‘Oh XJP can’t quite control his own country and Mao was a blunt-force instrument and the remains of his heyday are being mitigated even still’ but in America and Europe they’ve never seen full-blown Maoism even in the times of Hitler and Stalin, that I know of.  Maybe in China after TS1989 they still let the pro-youth cadre live for decades under house-arrest, Zhao Ziyang, and maybe ‘e-flowers’ on the occasion of his passing for ‘a vanished world of love’ - ‘I am thinking of my old friend, ‘zi(?).’  I was fond of Tu Fu’s ‘Thinking of Li Bai Beyond the Sky,’ ‘Demons exult in human failure’ - but I mean literal demons not fairy-tale characters from Amy Tan stories that Chinese use to seem loveable.  And that too there again feeds in to ‘Op. White Summer’ / nuke Milwaukee / uke America.  
David  has a sense of evil like when driving to DC with TW-1 we got lost in Fredericksburg at night - never again.  Outside Madison 08.  Maybe bairen didn’t manage the environment here well, there is no real wilderness, everything is ’revolving in crystal’ or ‘the glass man, without external reference.’
I would look around for n/Nature more but the pervasive disbelief-engine or anti-belief-engine or whatever is happening t me with debates over the past has made it hard to drive and I lose energy quickly except with typing.  I miss my gifted student whom I tried to push to write her sci-fi novel about caste societies enabled by biotechnology but she was already pulling a Catherine Chung(?) talking about children and the coming generation instead of accomplishing the proximate mission or purpose or objective.  My uncle is /was really devout and resembles Saint Paul in my mind’s eye, kept his muscles in to his 90′s, and yet the transmission of his best values encountered massive interference - kids divorced, Spice Girls(?!), cultural Christianity / Christian nationalism(?), CS Lewis and Martin Luther saying it’s cool to tell sick jokes and fart, the jocular contempt of the Gingrich-era GOP for the poor and perhaps women.  And how most of my family’s money seemed to come from the arms-industry like the Sidewinder missile and eve after walking away from the mil-ind complex the mentality of massive retaliation or lethal and punitive solutions to all problems - but that is a a big intuitive leap and maybe self-serving.
One of the ‘split’ moments in my life was being offered a job at Catholic University of Daegu ad I requested 3 days to decide but was woken up in the morning at UncleHammer’s house told to leave immediately and forgot to reply b/c I had like 1hr sleep.  Just shouldn’t’ve been there.
This again why I say if I don’t die from coronavirus and ever work a good job again I should just talk out any problem all night or bear any burden; 10 billion people all wanna good job and ever 36-y/o male has stories and observations.  
‘Heaven and Earth.’  People tried so hard to make this world a little better, some theory of r/Revolution as bringing Heaven down to Earth and maybe now Man will go  out to the stars as well.
