  1. A quotation from Gloria Steinem

    The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. We are filled with the popular wisdom of several centuries just past, and we are terrified to give it up. Patriotism means obedience, age means wisdom, woman means submission, black means inferior: these are preconceptions embedded so deeply in our thinking that we honestly may not know that they are there.

    Gloria Steinem (1934–2026) American feminist, journalist, activist
    Essay (1971-08-21), “A New Egalitarian Life Style,” New York Times

  4. [ Bazmanĝaĵo ]

    Ĉi tiu ero devus respondi, "Al kie vi iris kaj revenis?"

    Saŭerkraŭto ne nur estas fajne hakita brasiko sed vivanta akra rezulto de preskaŭ sankta sale masaĝo, kaj retenado de ĝia spiro dum konsiderinda longa tempo.
