I,
Gloria Poole,RN,artist of Springfield Missouri, have been creating things lately-- #art #sketches,[ see lop sided photo of a sketch I drew last week at bottom of page], a toy rocket from recycled cardboard, a pen holder from recycled cardboard, 3 sewed useful things, and I added to my "see the light" mobile I made from recycled [used] lightbulbs. I got the idea to experiment with this ideas from a conversation I had with one of my daughters who said the idea that consumers should recycle everything and salvadge wood, metal, bricks, paving stones, from old buildings is a popular one and has spawned a whole industry. So, I thought how to go about implementing that in my apartment?
I have always saved cardboard because it's made from trees and is very durable, so I practiced reshaping it into objects that would make something usuable from trash that would have been discarded before the "green "movement became the next big thing. Here's my technique to share: save the cardboard rollers from toilet paper, paper towel holders til you have enough to make something. Design the something you want to make. Use hot glue to attach the rolls in a helpful way to each other. If you need cardboard squares, unroll some of the rolls and cut the rectangle from the unrolled cardboard and then hot glue it where you need it. To make nose cone shapes, cut a circle from the rectangle, then cut halfway through the middle of the circle, then fold it upon itself to make a little upside down teepee shape. Then paint it with gesso and let dry. Then paint it with acrylic paints, several coats and then you have a toy, or a pen holder, or a whatever you made.
I am writing this instead of showing photos because I worry that Americans are losing the ability to read and comprehend what they read, and instead tap icons on gadgets, and or tap on pictures. We as a nation cannot allow ourselves to collectively be controlled and dominated by little electronic surveillance tools.
The other thing I have been doing a lot of lately is watching the news reels of the King making in the United Kingdom. It's a historic event and I always like to watch those in some way. Today was the culmination of a ten day period of mourning for the U K and the laying to rest of Queen Elizabeth II, and the installing of her son King Charles III. It's not something that has ever happened before in my lifetime. I know from news that other nations have replaced their kings and queens but no country does that as spectacularly as the U K. The pomp and circumstance, the pageantry, the Beethoven over loudspeakers, the drummers, the trumpeteers, the protocol, and those Crown jewels, are all fascinating to me. I am a U S citizen but I visited the U K twice and some of the E U countries also.
Also, I want to remind world that #personhood for baby humans is the right thing to do.
Quote: anti-abortion activists are pushing for a long-held and more absolute goal:
laws that grant fetuses the same legal rights and protections as any person.
So-called fetal personhood laws would make abortion murder,
ruling out all or most of the exceptions for abortion allowed in states that already ban it....
Already in Georgia, a fetus now qualifies for tax credits and child support,
and is to be included in population counts and redistricting...
In Indiana, where this month the Republican-controlled Legislature banned abortion starting at conception —
one of the strictest laws in the nation — some conservative lawmakers objected that the law
included exceptions for rape and incest. “This bill justifies the wicked, those murdering babies
, and punishes the righteous, the preborn human being,” one lawmaker said,
pushing instead for a fetal personhood law with no exceptions.
In Georgia, a law granting fetal personhood to fetuses
after around six weeks of pregnancy took effect...
Georgia Right to Life and other conservative groups are petitioning Gov. Brian Kemp
to call a special legislative session to pass a fetal personhood amendment to the state constitution.
It would eliminate any exceptions for abortion allowed in the law, by declaring a
“paramount right to life of all human beings as persons at any stage of development
from fertilization to natural death.”...
And this month, Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate, urged by anti-abortion groups,
introduced legislation that would establish a right to child support for fetuses beginning at conception.
Such a mandate might be difficult to enforce but would nudge federal law toward an understanding
that fetuses have the same right to life as other human beings, including the women who carry them.
The goal is to establish a federal ban on abortion, through legislation or another Supreme Court decision.
“Personhood has always been the ultimate ambition of the anti-abortion movement,”...
“The movement very much wants a declaration that abortion is a human rights and
constitutional rights violation. Not just that it’s a crime; that it’s unconstitutional.
From a symbolic standpoint, that’s a really big deal to a lot of people in the movement.”...
“Life begins at conception,” Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., said in proposing the Unborn Child Support Act
in Congress this month, “and this bill is a straightforward first step towards updating our federal laws to reflect that fact.”...
The decision overturning Roe in June upheld a Mississippi law that referred repeatedly to the “unborn human being.”
The decision adopted the language of fetal personhood, citing several 19th century state laws referring to “unborn children.”
That opened the way for the Georgia law passed in 2019 to take effect.
The law, titled the Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act, defines an “unborn child”
as “a member of the species Homo sapiens at any stage of development who is carried in the womb.”
It declares a fetus a person as soon as embryonic cardiac activity can be detected, usually around six weeks....
The decision overturning Roe in June upheld a Mississippi law that referred repeatedly to the “unborn human being.”
The decision adopted the language of fetal personhood, citing several 19th century state laws
referring to “unborn children.”...The Georgia law declares that the “unborn” are entitled to 14th Amendment protection....
Smith predicted more states would try to move toward fetal personhood by passing laws along the lines of Georgia’s
declaring that a fetus makes a woman eligible for a tax exemption.
“It’s another piece of evidence to support the fetal personhood argument..."

I also have other blogs which I update internmittently. A few days ago I was prevented from updating a blog of mine after I had signed into the account because a criminal intruder broke into the account from a remote location causing the "lock-down"of account, so I still have to resolve that in some way.
