Why Recycling Plants Keep Catching Fire, by @ciaraCnugent. As recycling fires go, the 56 Hour #RichmondPlasticFire was dramatic, yet not an isolated incident: at least 2 similar fires broke out the same day in NJ & Alberta. @mayordavesnow @earlham1847 time.com/6271576/recycl…
The recycling facility that went in up in flames in Indiana created a toxic plume of smoke that forced thousands to evacuate. It's an egregious, horrifying situation — and also one plastics fire of many. theverge.com/2023/4/14/2368… via @verge

#Quaker worship uses silence - but does that mean it's a theological blank space? I don't think so. New blog post from an old conference paper which might speak to questions @MarkDRuss has been discussing recently (and also mentions @manofasini's work): brigidfoxandbuddha.wordpress.com/2022/11/04/mee…
In 1927 Philadelphia Quakers were advised to take “care in speech” using only statements that “convey the exact truth without exaggeration or omission of essential facts.” They were reminded: “false impressions may be conveyed by actions and appearance, no less than by words.”
Quaker silence doesn't *work* because we believe things about the stillness or because we have a particular intent. Quaker silence (like the Catholic account of Eucharist) is objectively sacramental because Christ is present. Worship depends on God, not on our will or capacity.❤
Quaker Helen Steven wrote that she found comfort in: “the idea of a God who is “closer than breathing”, the very ground of our being. This shifts the entire focus of the divine .. to an immediate immanent presence within every one of us, constantly present and constantly loving.”
“Protests are well known, and popular. The trouble is, when I look back on the one-off protests I’ve joined over the years, I don’t remember a single one that changed the policy we were protesting against.” —George Lakey @peace_news peacenews.info/node/9240/why-…
Did you know Virginia students get one day off a year to protest? Ranger Balleisen and students at nearly 100 other high schools plan to use one tomorrow to protest @GovernorVA's model school trans policies. @wusa9 @PrideLiberation wusa9.com/article/news/l…
Just finished the graphic novel "Prophet Against Slavery" by @LesterMecca & Paul Buhle based on @MarcusRediker's "The Fearless Benjamin Lay." Highlights @JohanGaltung's typology of violence/peace mediated through the Quaker tradition before the Revolutionary war with slavery.
Five years ago today, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons opened for signature in New York. More countries should sign and ratify it – and work to bring the era of nuclear weapons to a permanent end. #nuclearban #TPNW #UNGA
Rich comments on being "divisive" from the person who started a teacher tip line, is focused more on "CRT" in K-12 rather than pandemic learning loss or educating kids for 21st Century jobs & appoints Confederate apologists to state history boards bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
"My Quaker education didn't just point me on one path," Paige Martin says. "They guided me on a journey…through dialogue, through inquiry." Being able to help other young people on their similar journeys is what prompted Paige to become a teacher as well. fdsj.nl/education

#Quaker worship uses silence - but does that mean it's a theological blank space? I don't think so. New blog post from an old conference paper which might speak to questions @MarkDRuss has been discussing recently (and also mentions @manofasini's work): brigidfoxandbuddha.wordpress.com/2022/11/04/mee…
In 1927 Philadelphia Quakers were advised to take “care in speech” using only statements that “convey the exact truth without exaggeration or omission of essential facts.” They were reminded: “false impressions may be conveyed by actions and appearance, no less than by words.”

Quaker silence doesn't *work* because we believe things about the stillness or because we have a particular intent. Quaker silence (like the Catholic account of Eucharist) is objectively sacramental because Christ is present. Worship depends on God, not on our will or capacity.❤

Helen Steven wrote: “As believers in a God of love and compassion, we are called to resist all that destroys fullness of life… Because the domination system, both political and religious is alive and well in our present day, and we are part of the resistance. ... I hope we are.”
If we think of God, the divine or Spirit as something in each of us, however deeply buried, this suggests we are responsible for one another, and that we are able to listen, speak and act, guided by the loving presence within us. It may not be easy but we can try. We can learn.
Quaker Helen Steven wrote that she found comfort in: “the idea of a God who is “closer than breathing”, the very ground of our being. This shifts the entire focus of the divine .. to an immediate immanent presence within every one of us, constantly present and constantly loving.”
I passed this sign last Sunday. Now I wonder if it might all be in my imagination. #notsorry
