Juneteenth is the oldest-known celebration marking the end of slavery in the United States, first recognized by the state of Texas. It is also known as “Freedom Day,” “Juneteenth National Independence Day,” or “Emancipation Day.”
May this day be one of remembering that freedom is for everyone and that slavery in any form is very wrong.
On 14 June 2023, World Blood Donor Day will again be celebrated throughout the world. Officially designated as an annual event by the World Health Assembly in 2005, the Day provides a special opportunity to celebrate and thank voluntary blood donors around the world for their gift of blood and has become a major focus for action towards achieving universal access to safe blood transfusion.
Seriously, thanks for all the likes and love good people. It’s always appreciated.
I am on Team Jesus as you may know. However, I don’t believe that it’s appropriate to proselytize in the workplace. Leaving religious pamphlets known as tracts is not a good practice. My experience is that religion at work can be used as a way of singling out people and discriminating based on various criteria.
I go to work to do a job. I don’t go to be indoctrinated and yes indoctrination can go both ways. Sharing your faith should be done by example and action, loving your neighbor and coworker. Also doing a good job for your employer and being kind. I would much rather encounter Christ or any other higher power that way than through a piece of paper left on a bathroom sink. If I ever come across as preachy call me on it.
Close to where I live are two roundabouts. There are others in other places in my city. They are designed to help traffic flow safely but they are confusing. Some drivers really don’t like roundabouts as this graphic would indicate. It’s all funny until someone gets hurt.
We suffer with those who have disappeared, those who have had to flee their homes, and those who have been tortured.
