How can we create new things when we are still enamoured by the old ones? How can we create new things if we don't learn from the old ones?

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.

Graph of maternal mortality rate against year for the UK. Rate bounces until and down around 500 deaths per 100,000 births until about 1940, when it falls sharply. It’s been very low (~1–3 per 100,000) ever since.

My review of "Just Mercy" about Bryan Stevenson's work to free those facing the death penalty, reflects on the supposed neutrality of law which aims to treat both sides the same... even where one side has made itself a mountain, and the other a speck of dust. folukeafrica.com/just-mercy-o...

Just Mercy or Just Justice
Just Mercy or Just Justice

Thinking of neutrality and ‘both sides’ when one side is a mountain and other is a speck of dust.

My favorite session ever: Convener: Any questions? Dude with a beef with the speaker: This is really more of a comment... Convener: Can you rephrase that as a question? Dude: Not really Convener: Then no. Next question!

This is a short reflection on futile demands to place barriers on the floodgates of time. Yes, it was a long time ago, but it happened. And the time returns. It happened. Can happen again. Is happening. Let us bear witness, as the earth bears witness. folukeafrica.com/it-happened-...

It Happened … A Long Time Ago
It Happened … A Long Time Ago

The politics of memory
