A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
An unconscious, easy, selfish person shocks less, and is more easily loved, than one who is laboriously and egotistically unselfish. There is at least no fuss about the first; but the other parades his sacrifices, and so sells his favours too dear.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 5 “Selfishness and Egoism”More about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…

"As a #Jewish #food #writer and #anthropologist of sorts, #JoanNathan had always been interested in her own family’s history. The “Julia Child of Jewish #cooking” has even #written about it in her recent #autobiography, “My Life in #Recipes.”
But many details about her father’s family, some of whom had perished in the #Holocaust, were scant.
On a recent Thursday morning, #Nathan spent two hours at the Ackman and Ziff Family #Genealogy Institute in #Manhattan, where those secrets would be uncovered as part of a new program called “Histories and Mysteries.” Nathan learned about the fate of a great-aunt, who was confined at #Theresienstadt, and her grandson, who by a circuitous, ultimately tragic path is remembered by #Catholics as a #martyr.
She discovered not only what happened to those relatives, but saw photographs of them and their homes, and read newspaper articles and letters about them."

Who Will Be Romero Today?
Romero Rally Flyer 1990On this day we remember Archbishop Óscar Romero, murdered on March 24, 1980, while celebrating Mass. The church remembers him not simply as a tragic victim, but as a martyr whose blood was joined to the blood of the people he refused to abandon. Vatican sources still name him what so many already knew him to be in life: a “voice of the voiceless,” assassinated at the altar because he would not stop speaking for the poor.
Romero was killed soon after one of the most fearless sermons of the twentieth century. Addressing soldiers and police, he said that they were killing their own campesino brothers and sisters, and that God’s law stood above the commands of violent men: “Thou shalt not kill.” He declared that no soldier is obliged to obey an order against the law of God, and he ended with that thunderous plea: “In the name of God… cease the repression!”
That is why Romero remains dangerous. He did not speak in abstractions. He did not bless power from a safe distance. He did not soothe the conscience of empire. He named the sin directly. He named the victims directly. He named the moral responsibility of those ordered to carry out injustice. And for that, he was silenced by a bullet at the altar. Yet even in death he was not silenced, because martyrdom is a form of speech the powers of this world do not know how to answer.
Ten years later, in 1990, his name was still summoning people into the streets. The flyer for the Washington march commemorating Romero’s assassination called for an end to U.S. war in Central America, a march from the Capitol to the White House, and even nonviolent civil disobedience after the rally. It named the demands plainly: end U.S. aid to El Salvador, withdraw U.S. advisers, stop repressing the people, end the war against Nicaragua, lift the trade embargo, normalize relations. That call was real, and it was public. It survives in archival collections even now.
And I remember that day not as a line in a history book but as something lived in the body. Ten years after Romero’s assassination, I was arrested outside the White House after I and other activists built a miniature Central American village there. We were trying, in our small and vulnerable way, to make visible what policy papers and patriotic speeches tried to hide: villages, families, campesinos, the poor, the disappeared, the threatened, the dead. We were insisting that Central America was not a chessboard for Washington, but a place of human beings made in the image of God.

How did 1600s Dutch households keep their fire embers from going out at night? With a curfew.
Yes, it's a pun. Curfews were metal covers that kept fire embers smouldering overnight, to be revived for the next day's cooking and heating. The word curfew comes from the French for fire cover (couvre feu).
The brass one pictured here is among the earliest to survive, made in Holland but now in London's V&A. It's embossed with an image of Saint Lawrence.
This is dark humour, since Lawrence was roasted alive in the third century—punishment for perhaps the first Christian protest. The early church's refusal to worship Roman gods led to persecution. Lawrence was ordered to surrender the church's treasures to authorities. He turned up with the sick, marginalized, poor, elderly, and widows, boldly proclaiming: “These are the true treasures of the church.” For this insolence, he was martyred (killed).

There are a trio of seemingly excellent #Diablo style games this #Steam #NextFest.
#DarkHaven Is an insta buy for me. It's destructible terrain brings something fresh to the genre and It also plays perfectly with a controller on the #SteamDeck
I could easily play this demo all day but I'm forcing myself to stop. 😁
#Crystalfall and #Martyr pretty much require a mouse and keyboard. Neither of them control well on the steam deck, but what little I played they look quite promising.

"It would have been so easy for Pretti just to back away, to let the masked men tackle her instead of him, to avoid the sting of pepper spray, the pain of being hit in the face, & the moment of death. Pretti could have told himself that this woman he’d never met before was not his problem. Instead, like the Good Samaritan, he went out of his way for a stranger. He paid the ultimate price for that decision."

"I want them to be the kind of people who will say, 'Are you okay?' if they see someone on the ground. I think of my students at Villanova, many of them studying to be nurses, and want them to be ready to ask, 'Are you okay?' Alex Pretti’s last words might have been the Good Samaritan’s first words when he chanced upon the victim of thieves on the road to Jericho."

"Well, stepping in between an innocent woman and a gang of violent men must count as chivalry if anything does. Shouting 'Don’t touch her!,' Pretti stood between the brutal power of ICE and the vulnerability of a stranger.
But it’s Pretti’s last words that stick with me: 'Are you okay?' I think of my own children."

"He was doing much the same in the frozen streets of Minneapolis—working for freedom, nurturing it, protecting it, and sacrificing for it. ...
Pretti’s charity was expressed in his willingness to intervene for an unknown woman who was thrown to the ground by a thug working for the federal government. Many conservatives lament the decline of chivalry and the loss of what they call the 'masculine virtues.'"
#AlexPretti #Trump #CBP #ICE #murder #execution #immigrants #Minneapolis #martyr

"These are, notably, fruits of the Holy Spirit. In a powerful video clip recorded at the VA Hospital where Pretti worked, we see him speaking after the death of a veteran. He says that to keep our freedom we 'have to work at it, nurture it, protect it, and even sacrifice for it.' Spending his life in service of those in the ICU, he recognized that those in the Armed Services have given their lives for freedom."

"Baptized into the faith as an infant, he attended Catholic grammar school and was formed by his experience in a Catholic Scouting troop where he earned a Light of Christ medal.
Pretti worked in an intensive-care unit, caring for people with life-threatening illnesses or injuries. Fr. Harry Tasto, who worked with Pretti as a hospital chaplain, preached that Pretti was known 'for his kindness and gentleness.'"

"Pope John Paul II affirmed this by declaring the new category of 'martyrs for charity.'
Both popes taught that such martyrs remind us of the central Christian truth that we are all called to lay down our lives for others. That is what Pretti did.

"It first means to witness or testify to our faith. We primarily do this by our words and deeds, by teaching and evangelization. Its second and better-known meaning is to lay down one’s life. Very few live out this form of martyrdom. But some do. Pretti did. ...
In 1971, when Pope Paul VI preached at the beatification of Kolbe, he spoke of him as 'a martyr of love.'"

It drives many of the MAGA white Catholics who have voted in the majority three times now for Trump when fellow Catholics speak of Alex Pretti as a martyr. Their rage does not deter Fellow Catholic Terence Sweeney. He writes,
"Alex Pretti was a martyr. I am not using this term merely rhetorically. artyrdom is one of the most essential categories of Christian life."

I will officially now and forever only refer to Charlie Kirk as "that guy they turned into a martyr" or if you're into the whole brevity thing; #WorstVessel

Apparently, our Hitler Youth is going to be called Club America & Kirk is Horst-Wessel. I hate this fucking timeline.

#RWNJ gun totin' nut job #Amurica is so wrapped up in #hatred for #TheLeft it conveniently blames anyone that isn't a seething foaming at the mouth member of its own #intolerance fueled #DoomLoop for the murder of its #martyr of the moment.
These #Koch fueled mini MAGAT movements and post #Charlottesville cultists get so wrapped up pointing fingers with one hand, masturbating their precious #gunstocks and zeig heiling #DearLeader with the other, never looking in the mirror at their own painfully petty prejudices and hateful hell spawn that stew and seethe in shadows.
The internal dissensions and feuds fueling #radicalized #RightWing rhetoric is what prompts violent fools like the latest guy that took out #CharlieKirk ...but the #PresidentialPropagandist #Punditry and #FauxNews keep beating the #wardrums to blame #Leftists and #LibTurds in a #Reichstag fire event, while #HolocaustDeniers and #Groypers have received free passes to dine at the #Drumpf #WhiteHouse
It's no secret #NickFuentes had been removed from both C-Pac and #TurningPointUSA events and accused Charlie Kirk of being a tool of "the Jews"... So I guess we better blame trans people for Kirk's death?
As David Gilbert wrote in Wired this week :
"For years, extremist groups, white nationalists, and militias like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers saw Charlie Kirk not as their ally, but as their enemy.
Though Kirk denigrated trans people, Muslims, unmarried women, and many minorities and advocated for an America with Christianity at the center of every aspect of life, he was, in their view, a moderate. For some, his staunch support of Israel’s government made Kirk a target rather than a friend."
