THE SECOND FULL MOON OF AUGUST IS TONIGHT

Manoominike-giizis (Ricing Moon) Lᐊᓅᒥᓂᑫ-ᑮᓯ

To the Ojiwe, tonight is the full Ricing Moon. It was the manoomin ᒪᓅᒥᓐ, “food that grows on water”, that brought our ancestors to the Greak Lakes region tens of thousands of years ago.

Wild rice is called manoomin or the "good berry" by the Anishinaabe people and it ripens in August. Members of the tribe head out into the rice beds in canoes and use cedar sticks called knockers to harvest the grains. While one person guides the canoe, the other uses one knocker to gently bend the stalks while tapping the seed heads with the other. Songs are created to the rhythm of the knocking sticks to make the work easier. The loosened grains tumble into the hull. Later, they're toasted and the husks are removed to ready the rice for cooking. Something as delicious and culturally important as the wild rice harvest seems the perfect choice for the August full moon, which also goes by the Sturgeon Moon, named for another traditional Ojibwe harvest that occurs this time of year.

Thousands of years ago, the Ojibwe lived near the Atlantic ocean but received a prophesy that the people should travle West. They were told they will know they are where they're suppposed to be when the get to the place where food grows on the water. They canoed until they found the Great Lakes region and saw the wild rice growing on the water and stayed there ever since.

This migration probably saved us from being genocided by the settlers who arrived on the on the East coast years later.

The Full Ricing Moon rises tonight around sunset and should be bigger and brigher than usual since it is at full perigee.

Going shopping?

Don't get a bunch of ones at the bank and pay in cash.

Don't deface U$ currency.

That would be wrong.

"It is not “transphobic” to refuse to embrace trans belief claims any more than it is “Christianphobic” not to accept that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, or “Catholicphobic” not to believe that that when a Catholic priest says Mass, transubstantiation occurs and the bread and wine become the body and blood of Jesus."

Animal Rights the Abolitionist Approach

https://www.abolitionistapproach.com/the-trans-rights-issue-equality-claims-and-belief-claims

"We do not, however, discriminate wrongly against trans persons by failing to believe their metaphysical/spiritual claims that that trans women are literally women or that trans men are literally men, and by failing to eliminate all single-sex spaces and activities or otherwise not living our lives in conformity with their metaphysical spiritual beliefs. That is, it is not “transphobic” to refuse to embrace trans belief claims any more than it is “Christianphobic” not to accept that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, or “Catholicphobic” not to believe that that when a Catholic priest says Mass, transubstantiation occurs and the bread and wine become the body and blood of Jesus.

To the extent that trans ideology requires us to ignore the basic human rights of biological women and girls, or to maintain that lesbians and gays who are not really bisexual are bigots, or to threaten the welfare of children, trans ideology violates Principle Five."

"The problem is that some trans-rights activists (TRAs) maintain that it is “transphobic” (among other bad things) to not accept as factually or literally true the claims that biological males who identify as women are women and that biological females who identify as men are men. They also claim that, in light of the literal truth of these claims, it is transphobic to maintain single-sex spaces. They demand that we eliminate all single-sex spaces, such as toilets, changing rooms, shower facilities, prisons, rape crisis centers, domestic violence shelters, etc., as well as eliminate single-sex sports, and make other changes that are intended to eradicate the concept of biological sex from society.

So the issue is whether respecting the equality of trans persons and not discriminating against them requires that we accept these claims as true, or at least act as though we do, and eliminate single-sex spaces and activities as well as make whatever changes would follow from our believing in the literal truth of those claims.

Gender-critical feminists (GCFs), such as Kathleen Stock, Holly Lawford-Smith, Helen Joyce, Andrew Doyle, and many others clearly and unequivocally support the equality claims of trans people but reject TRA belief claims. That is, they maintain that an open and decent society should not discriminate against trans people but they reject that we wrongly discriminate against trans people by refusing to believe that trans women are women or that trans men are men. They do not support changes, including, but not limited to, the elimination of single-sex spaces and activities, or other changes that require that we reject the existence and importance of biological sex.

"To not believe that Jesus is divine does not make one “Christianphobic.” To the extent that some Christians suggest that we should all convert to Christianity, or that the practitioners of other religions are “doomed” or are “evil,” we regard those people as zealots and cranks. We certainly don’t think we have to agree that their beliefs are true or that we must live in accordance with them. For example, the debate about regulating abortion from conception or very early in the pregnancy term focuses in part about whether those seeking to restrict access to abortion are doing so for religious reasons and, to the extent they are, that forms the basis for an objection, at least in the United States, that the government cannot establish a religion.

In any event, Christians have a right to believe what they want; everyone else has an obligation to not engage in wrongful discrimination against Christians. But respecting the equality claims of Christians does not require that we accept Christian belief claims that Jesus is God or allow Christians to act out their metaphysical or spiritual beliefs in the spaces of others."
