In other words Jono Hey's weekly sketch from 19-5-2024
I am following Jono Hey for several years now. His weekly drawings are often surprising, on point, and even instructive.
And this week, finally, with a bicycle again. ;-)
He also recently released an interesting book full of drawings: Big Ideas Little Pictures.

Alright, I have never (and hopefully will never again) do these Flickr rants but all the marriage equality stuff that’s been flying around today has me really determined to finally get up and say something.
For starters: IT’S 2013 PEOPLE. The fact that we’re still arguing about the marriage rights of two people in a relationship, ANY two people, is absolutely ridiculous. I don’t understand how this kind of issue can go to court and not be called out point-blank for discrimination—as far as I’m concerned, there is absolutely nothing that differentiates the desire for two men or two women (or two people anywhere in between) to get married from the contract between any other couple on this planet. It’s just so frustrating that this country and most of the people in it seem to understand that racism against non-Caucasians is wrong, that ageism is wrong, that discrimination against the handicapped is wrong, but they don’t realize the effect of this type of negligence. And I’m not even speaking as a gay man, but as a human. A human who cares about the love between other humans.
To the government and everyone else in the country that stands in my way: Marriage is a legal contract and I’d like it explained as to how a man’s right to marry a man interferes with another man’s right to marry a woman.
For now, you can tell me I can’t get married. For now, you can tell me my love isn’t equal to yours, that I’m not privy to the same basic human rights as my heterosexual counterparts. BUT these problems, this fight, this journey to equality, is going to be here and is going to continue until you all wake up and ban this ban on love. In other words, you can try to push things aside, you can try and tell me to be quiet for now, but I’m not going anywhere.

Policies must change to achieve equality between women and men, says Parliament in a non-legislative resolution passed by 441 votes to 205 with 52 abstentions on Tuesday. Despite progress on some gender inequality issues, much remains to be done to reduce pay gaps, remove “glass ceilings” on women’s careers, remedy their lack of economic independence, improve their work/life balance, including parental leave, and protect their rights and access to contraception and abortion.
"The verdict is less than glorious: change is too slow and women's rights are suffering the effects of this. But the majority in favour of the resolution shows that the European Parliament backs the fight for wage equality, efforts to combat violence against women, agree on maternity leave proposals and safeguard access to abortion", said rapporteur Marc Tarabella (S&D, BE) after the vote.

Lebanon, 2015.
Portrait of clothing designer Lara Khoury in her studio in Beirut. Lebanon emerged from a 15-year civil war in 1990, beginning its slow but steady recovery. Today it is considered an upper-middle-income country, but economic gains are inequitably distributed among social groups and skewed towards urban areas.

This photograph of the Black Panthers during a drill at DeFremery Park in Oakland, California was taken by Pirkle Jones in 1968. Change was coming to America in 1968 and the fault lines could no longer be ignored—cities were burning, Vietnam was exploding, and disputes raged over equality and civil rights. A new revolutionary culture was emerging and it sought to drastically transform the system. The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense would, for a short time, put itself at the vanguard of that change.
Photographer and author Pirkle Jones (1914-2009) lived in California from the mid-1940s on, photographing the state and its inhabitants with understanding and sympathy. In 1968 Jones and his wife, the photographer Ruth-Marion Baruch, undertook a photographic study of the Black Panther Party. The photographs chronicled the lives and work of the controversial, California-based group’s members. At the time, the Black Panther's were seen by most people as a violent, militant organization. Pirkle and Ruth, in their own distinctive styles, took it upon themselves to portray the party in a different light.

Defying the origin and truth from others would defy the existence of each other. Granting everyone the light that shines on these truths to see them, is what can bring people together.

Today, 9% of women serve in the army and gender-sensitive language is the norm in Montenegro. But the military is still traditionally men-dominated. Captain Sanja Pejović, a former professor of English language and literature, broke the brass ceiling and joined the Armed forces of Montenegro. Now, she is the highest-ranking woman officer in the armed forces. Sanja works closely with SEESAC across the region to enable women to thrive in the military.
