ALS ice bucket balance challenge!
…Just thought this would be cool to share. This is me.
As always, Go Tribe! Go Red Sox!
ESPN - Red Sox reach agreement with former Indians CF Grady Sizemore on incentive-laden 1-year deal - Sources
–
Sadly, that is exactly what Sizemore is: a veteran of the All American a Disabled List. Grady Sizemore was a great, energetic, and genuinely fun player with the Indians…although I am wrecking my brain simply to try and remember the last time he ever played a game for the Tribe…
For the Red Sox, Sizemore represents nearly no risk with an upside attained if he can step into centerfield or run out a grounder for that matter. It just seems like a waste. I mean, if the Sox have an extra million bucks, give it to a charity or better yet, give it to me.
But Sox fans, don’t get your hopes up with this signing. It is true he used to be the caliber of Jacoby Ellsbury, but Sizemore is simply not that anymore and hasn’t been anywhere close for over 5 years.
Take it from a disappointed Indians fan…Sorry to spoil the ending, but Grady Sizemore is washed up…but a great addition to your Disabled List.
“In November 2001, Pasfield’s son’s third-grade class in Ann Arbor, Michigan, started a unit about a Great Lakes people called the Potawatomi. They visited the Great Lakes Indians dioramas in what was then called the Exhibit Museum of Natural History in Ann Arbor for their final activity. Afterward, the boy illustrated the cover of his folder that contained all the worksheets from his unit on the Potawatomi Indians. He drew three deep graves with skeletons at the bottom and tombstones that said “R.I.P.” “This was devastating to me as a mother,” Pasfield says, “because my son is an enrolled tribal member.” Read more in our new article on indigenous histories and dioramas by Francie Diep.

Correspondence (-A Fiction-) (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/IXojh2VwGP
A story.
A whaler’s daughter, out at sea. An orphaned son, building a treehouse for her return. The letters they write back and forth to one another, carried by the waves via the ship-captain’s liquor bottles.
Their love.
Their beginnings. Their new beginnings.
Their Correspondence.

看到這段頗為震撼（和感慨）：
『那些在我們看來似乎是在某些方面相當野蠻的社會，如果我們從另一個角度考慮，可能會變成相當仁慈而且人道。讓我們拿北美洲平原區的印地安人（Plains Indians）為例子，舉他們做例子來討論這個問題具有雙重意義，因為他們既具有一些輕度的食人肉風俗，同時還具有在原始社會中甚為少見的組織化的警察制度。他們的警察（同時也是司法人員）永遠不會想到以切斷罪犯的社會關係來懲罰罪犯。如果某個土著觸犯部族的法律，處罰他的辦法是把他的一切財產全部毀壞，包括他的營帳和馬匹在內。但在處罰他的過程中，執法的警察卻也同時等於欠他一筆債：警察必須負責組織社會成員，集體償還因為犯罪而遭到的所有損失。集體償還罪犯的一切損失，就使那個罪犯有負於整個社會，罪犯也就不得不對他們表示感激，表示感激的辦法是由整個社會包括警察在內的一切成員幫助他累積一大堆禮物來送給償還他損失的人，這樣子也就把整個取予關係又倒轉過來；這樣的一來一往接二連三繼續下去，致送禮物，歸還禮物，一直到由該項犯罪行為所引起的失序狀態漸漸消失於無形，整個社會又回復以前秩序井然的時候為止。這樣的習慣不但遠比我們自己的辦法人道，這樣的辦法之邏輯也更完整一致，即使我們把這個問題用現代歐洲心理學的名詞陳述出來，他們的辦法還是更完整一致；從邏輯的觀點來看，施予懲罰這樣的概念既然表示把罪犯「小孩子化」（infantilization），罪犯也就理所當然有權得到獎勵，如果光只處罰，而不加以獎勵的話，原來的處罰程序便不會有效，甚至會產生出和我們想要的完全相反的結果。我們的制度是最高程度的荒謬，因為我們既把罪犯當做小孩，以便我們有權對罪犯施加懲罰，同時又把罪犯當做大人，目的是為了拒絕給他任何安慰；同時我們卻相信我們在精神上大為進步，而所依據的理由只不過是，我們不把我們的幾個同胞吃掉，而是使他們飽受身體上與道德上的割體斷魂。』
