Ordem y Progresso

I first blogged this in January 2021 and here we are in 2026 and there’s discussion of the Amazon turning into savanna. A terrible prospect for many forms of life and for the effect on natural cycles. Although some progress has been made since Lula was elected we are far from saving the Amazon.

First off, this isn’t a Brazilian tree but I’m using it to illustrate a problem. Second, there are probably no countries that are truly clean and green and living sustainably within the ability of the planet to regenerate. That said Brazil is currently one of the worst countries in the world for forest destruction. So the saying on their national flag is rather meaningless because if the destruction of forests and extinction of tree species is order and progress then the human monkey species has got the meaning of the words seriously wrong. Take the case of the iconic and distinctive Araucaria tree. They have been part of Brazil’s Atlantic forest for hundreds of thousands of years long before the descendants of Europeans drew the imaginary line on the continent of South America, https://theconversation.com/climate-breakdown-is-pushing-brazils-iconic-araucaria-tree-to-extinction-new-research-123068?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20September%2011%202019%20-%201406813256&utm_content=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20September%2011%202019%20-%201406813256+CID_1faadc5548eba903dffbb5148a125fe3&utm_source=campaign_monitor_uk&utm_term=Climate%20breakdown%20is%20pushing%20Brazils%20iconic%20Araucaria%20tree%20to%20extinction%20%20new%20research. In the 20th century Ordem y Progresso led to 97% of them being cut down and now human caused climate change could finish them off. What are the reasons for this species and others demise? Quite simply too many human monkeys and there is no sign of any plans to even stabilise that population so many more species of not just trees but species from insects to animals will disappear as the ridiculous mantra of Ordem y Progresso continues. As I mentioned I have only used Brazil as an example of a global human problem, one we will not deal with. Humanity needs to start acting as an intelligent species and not a huge swam of locusts.

I keep seeing commercials for Paxlovid again. I haven’t seen these commercials in YEARS.

Btw- Did we know it could affect hormonal birth control? That’s part of the commercial now & I don’t remember that from before. Great news for those of us on HRT /s

#paxlovid #CovidIsNotOver #BirthControl

Also, for people outside the UK: Victoria sponge is not a form of birth control.

It's cake. Do an Internet search. You'll see.

Even Aldi sells it, so you know it's a best seller.

A study of approximately 3,300 U.S. adults found that religious complementarianism--the belief that men and women have been given different (but complementary) attributes and roles--is strongly associated with national pronatalism (for Whites and Christians) and support for government control over women's fertility.

The article examines how a specific religious worldview about gender roles, known as complementarianism, relates to attitudes toward national population growth and constraints on reproductive rights. Findings indicate that beliefs in divinely ordained gender roles strongly predict pronatalist preferences and support for restrictive reproductive policies. The study highlights how religious worldviews can influence political and policy attitudes beyond general religiosity or party identification.

This topic is of interest to psychology readers because it links belief systems about gender and religion with measurable public policy attitudes, shedding light on how internalized worldviews shape social and political judgments. It also demonstrates how individual differences in sexism interact with religious ideologies to influence reproductive attitudes.

#BirthControl kommen im Februar wieder nach #Kiel 😍

Na, holen wir uns aber ganz sicher wieder Karten!

"the bill’s broad language would effectively allow people to kill anyone using #contraceptives to prevent pregnancy, such as IUDs.

“We can’t feed kids in school, and we won’t give health care to people, but we will make it legal to #murder women who use #BirthControl,” ...

The bill’s broad language means that doctors and nurses could also be considered accountable and therefore eligible to be put to death."
