‘We Are The World’ …. “🌎 We Always have Been, We Always will Be 🌎 …. “!!

TURBULENT TIMES

~We Always have Been, We Always will Be~

I find myself so pulled by the negativity and awful events taking place in our world nowadays. Sometimes it’s so overwhelming that I can’t really breathe.

I can’t fathom or wrap my head around the level of inhumanity, greed, vileness, evil, violence, crime, injustice and so much more that inhabits this world.

Music helps me.

Here’s an example.

~~March 8, 2018~~ 

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

The tradition began with the first National Women’s Day in 1909 and its roots are in campaigning for better pay and voting rights.

What is this year’s theme?
The theme this year is #PressforProgress.

The website says:

“We can’t be complacent. Now, more than ever, there’s a strong call-to-action to press forward and progress gender parity.

“A strong call to #PressforProgress. A strong call to motivate and unite friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive.”

March 8 is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women

The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

International Women’s Day (IWD) has been observed since in the early 1900’s – a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies.

International Women’s Day is a collective day of global celebration and a call for gender parity. No one government, NGO, charity, corporation, academic institution, women’s network or media hub is solely responsible for International Women’s Day.

Many organizations declare an annual IWD theme that supports their specific agenda or cause, and some of these are adopted more widely with relevance than others.

“The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights,” says world-renowned feminist, journalist and social and political activist Gloria Steinem.

Thus International Women’s Day is all about unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and action – whatever that looks like globally at a local level. But one thing is for sure, International Women’s Day has been occurring for well over a century – and continues to grow from strength to strength.

Darci Lynne Farmer …. “⭐️ Ventriloquist Act for ‘America’s Got Talent’s Golden Buzzer ⭐️ …. ‘Anything You Can Do’ Duet ⭐️ …. “!!

~~September 23, 2017~~ 

DARCI LYNNE AND TERRY FATOR 

“ANYTHING YOU CAN DO”

I have been following this young girl since she first appeared in the AGT’s auditions and Mel B pressed the Golden Buzzard.

This child is amazing.

She’s very talented in so many ways. She sings (with her mouth closed, she’s a ventriloquist) and her charisma fills the room.

Her performance throughout the season was cute, incredible, amazing and completely professional.

Take a look at her performance at the FINALS as we all waited for the results!

HortyRex©

Have you ever had the chance to meet your idol?

Well, America’s Got Talent contestant Darci Lynne Farmer did – and in a huge way!

In the video below, posted on September 20, 2017, Darci Lynne and her puppet, Petunia, joined a fellow ventriloquist named Terry Fator, who just happens to be her idol and a previous winner of America’s Got Talent from the 2007 season.

During the live finale results show, the two of them put on the ultimate ventriloquist act for millions of viewers to enjoy.

Petunia meets Terry’s turtle, Winston, and starts to get a little competitive. The diva bunny can’t help herself as she and Winston sing “Anything You Can Do” and fight for the spotlight.

Little do they know, they are even better together!

As they sing with each other, Petunia and Winston hit high notes, one after the other, proving that each ventriloquist has something special within them.

The song fits their act perfectly as Winston and Petunia take turns out-singing each other for the audience!

REST IN PRIDE

~Rainbow Flag Creator Gilbert Baker Dead at 65~

Thank you Gilbert for giving our community one of our greatest gifts.

You are a trailblazer for #LGBTQ youth around the world.

You will be missed!

It Gets Better Project

Gilbert Baker (June 2, 1951 – March 31, 2017) was an openly gay American artist and civil rights activist who designed the rainbow flag in 1978. Baker’s flag became widely associated with LGBT rights causes, a symbol of pride that became ubiquitous in the decades since its debut.

The colors on the Rainbow Flag reflect the diversity of the LGBT community.

When Baker raised the first rainbow flags at San Francisco Pride (his group raised two flags at the Civic Center) on June 25, 1978, it had eight colors, each with a symbolic meaning:

Hot Pink: sexuality
Red: life
Orange: healing
Yellow: sunlight
Green: nature
Turquoise: magic/art
Blue: serenity/harmony
Violet: spirit

THE RESIST SYMBOL

Unity is loud.

Symbols amplify all our voices.

Let’s channel the energy across the country:

Show the world you are a RESISTOR.

~From their Facebook Page~

I am a Resistor

https://www.facebook.com/ResistSymbol/

The Resistor is a historical symbol for solidarity and peaceful dissent

You might also remember using the squiggly line in this image when drawing Resistors in physics class; it is a universal standard symbol seen in circuit diagrams.

We hope that the RESIST symbol will serve as a daily reminder to be vigilant and to RESIST any attacks on democracy or the progress we have made as a society.

Feel free to adopt the symbol as your own and please help us spread the message!

ALL-STAR Remake Of Black Eyed Peas’…. ‘#WheresTheLove’ …. “!!

~~September 2, 2016~~ 

WHERE IS THE LOVE?

Nearly 15 years after a post 9/11 landscape inspired them to write the original , The Black Eyed Peas have re-imagined their most beloved single at what feels like another critical moment.

Its message hasn’t changed: with a lush but minimalist arrangement, this star-studded update is a timely reminder that love transcends hate.

All proceeds of sale of the single featured on the iTunes page will be donated to the i.am.angel Foundation

iTunes Site

~The “Love” is Here~

Thirteen years after the original, the Black Eyed Peas call for peace, love, and unity once again with the re-imagined all-star version of their 2003 Elephunk single,

“Where’s the Love?”

Of course, the 2016 edition features BEP stars will.i.am, Fergie, apl.de.ap, and Taboo, but it also includes their famous friends such as Diddy, Cassie, Mary J. Blige, Jamie Foxx, Nicole Scherzinger, The Game, Snoop Dogg, Jessie J, Andra Day, Tori Kelly, Ty Dolla $ign, Usher, DJ Khaled, Jhené Aiko (and her daughter), Wiz Khalifa, LL Cool J, Usher, and Justin Timberlake, who appeared on the original as well.

The powerful black-and-white video stars the aforementioned artists, plus Kendall Jenner, Rosario Dawson, Alton Sterling’s aunt, Philando Castile’s mother, religious leaders, police offers, and a 40-member children’s choir.

“Overseas, yeah, they’re tryna stop terrorism / Over here, on the streets, the police shoot the people, put the bullets in ’em,” raps Diddy, while Khaled proclaims, “Love is the key!”

Inspired by recent tragedies, the Peas decided it was time to revive the track for a new generation.

“Millennials are powerful,” said will. “I don’t think they realize just how powerful they are. I hope this song inspires the millennials to go all out, scream from the tallest mountain, care like your freedom depends on it.

Pay attention like that is at risk.”

All proceeds from the sale of the song in the U.S. will be donated to will.i.am’s non-profit foundation, i.am.angel.

At the end of the day …. “American Indians protest pipeline project …. #NoDAPL …. “!!

~~August 24, 2016~~ 

SUCCESSFUL BLOCKADE 

2,500 Native Americans Successfully Block Oil Pipeline Construction

State of Emergency Declared

“This pipeline’s construction is being carried out without the Tribe’s free, prior and informed consent in direct contradiction to their clearly expressed wishes.”

Last week, a few dozen Native Americans showed up to protest the $3.8 billion, 1,172-mile-long pipeline that would cross right through their sacred land. As word spread, however, the few dozen turned into more than 2,500 native Americans. Because of the large turnout, a brief victory ensued for the people after the developers of the four-state oil pipeline agreed to halt construction until after a federal hearing in the coming week.

In spite of both the company building the pipeline, Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, and the federal government applying pressure, the Native Americans from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe have remained resilient.

On Tuesday, August 23, the government placed a restraining order on the protesters prohibiting them “from interfering with its (Energy Transfer Partners’) right to construct the Dakota Access Pipeline (the “Pipeline”) in accordance with all local, state, and federal approvals it has obtained.”

However, the protestors remained steadfast — and peaceful.

“As we have said from the beginning, demonstrations regarding the Dakota Access pipeline must be peaceful,” Standing Rock Sioux Chairman David Archambault II said in a statement to reporters on August 17.

“There is no place for threats, violence or criminal activity. That is simply not our way. So, the Tribe will do all it can to see that participants comply with the law and maintain the peace.

That was our position before the injunction, and that is our position now.”

“The pipeline presents a threat to our lands, our sacred sites and our waters, and the people who will be affected must be heard,” Archambault told reporters. “Peaceful demonstration can be very powerful and effective.

But the power of peaceful demonstration is only diminished by those who would turn to violence or illegality. We cannot let that happen. The Tribe is committed to doing all it can to make sure that the demonstrations are conducted in the right way.”

In spite of the threat to the sacred land and the unscrupulous action of the state in taking that land on behalf of big oil, government officials maintain their justification.
