Betty Osceola (Miccosukee, Panther Clan) grounds us in the spectacular land and life of the Everglades in this visit with host Kahstoserakwathe. She explains how the region's natural filtration system protects fresh water for millions, carries cultural memory for the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, and sustains plant, animal, and water relatives.Betty is well known for her prayer walks that became especially urgent when the cruelty of the “Alligator Alcatraz” outdoor immigrant detention camp surfaced last summer on traditional homelands in South Florida, and her research is instrumental in ongoing lawsuits around the facility. She says our struggle for equitable treatment cannot be separated from the health and well-being of the natural world.Betty spent decades living what environmental justice looks like from an Indigenous perspective: caring for water as kin, community mobilization as a responsibility, and finding joy in walking, guiding, laughing, and listening. She asks us to consider how we reconnect to our own sources of care and to show up when the land says it needs us. This conversation is a clear invitation to walk our lands and raise our voices to protect the natural world and the humanity of our hearts. Stay to the end for her cute stories about mama ‘gators and their babies. Key Takeaways from Our Conversation with Betty Osceola1. The Everglades is a living relative, not a resource.Betty reminds us that the River of Grass is alive, speaking, and essential for the fresh water that sustains millions of people. Protecting it is not just an environmental act; it is a kinship responsibility. The "river" is a slow-moving sheet of water, full of swamp grasses, that flows from Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay, moving only about a quarter-mile per day.2. Ceremony is a form of resistance.Through prayer walks and gatherings, Betty and her community practice ceremony as a form of activism. Each step, song, and offering re-centers human presence within a network of life that has been disrupted by extraction and control.3. Alligator Alcatraz is part of a larger pattern.Betty describes the proposed detention facility as one more example of how industrial and political systems see Indigenous land as empty or disposable. Her organizing through prayer, education, and direct presence helped bring national attention and legal action to pause construction.4. Environmental justice and Indigenous rights are inseparable.The conversation links the Miccosukee Tribe's struggle for full federal recognition with the broader movement to restore balance between governance, ecology, and Indigenous sovereignty. Justice begins when Indigenous knowledge leads.5. Joy and community are forms of survival.Even amid ongoing fights for land and water, Betty's stories centre laughter, family, and collective prayer. Joy is not a distraction from struggle; it is what keeps the work alive.Photo by Lisette Morales, CC BY-SA 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week let's learn about some whales and dolphins, including an ancient whale and a mystery whale, all of them really small. Thanks to Alexandra, Eilee, and Jayson for their suggestions! Let's start with an ancient whale, suggested by Jayson. The genus Janjucetus has been known since its first species was described in 2006, after a teenage surfer in Australia discovered the fossils in the late 1990s. It grew to about 11 feet long, or 3.5 meters, and lived about 25 million years ago. So far it's only been found around Australia. But much more recently, just a few months ago as this episode goes live, a new species was described. That's Janjucetus dullardi, also found in Australia along the same beach where the first Janjucetus species was found, and dating to around the same time period. We don't know a lot about the newly described whale, since it's only known from some teeth and partial skull. Scientists think the individual was a juvenile and estimate it was only around 6 feet long when it died, or 2.8 meters. Small as it was, it would have been a formidable hunter when it was alive. Its broad snout was shaped sort of like a shark's and it had strong, sharp teeth and large eyes. Because it was an early whale, it wouldn't have looked much like the whales alive today. It might even have had tiny vestigial back legs. Its eyes were huge in proportion to its head, about the size of tennis balls, and it probably relied on its eyesight to hunt prey because it couldn't echolocate. Its serrated teeth and strong jaws indicate that it might have hunted large animals, but some scientists suggest it could also filter feed the same way a crabeater seal does. Modern crabeater seals have similar teeth as Janjucetus, as do a few other seals. The projections on its teeth interlock when the seal closes its mouth, so to filter feed the seal takes a big mouthful of water, closes its teeth, and uses its tongue to force water out through its teeth. Amphipods and other tiny animals get caught against the teeth and the seal swallows them. If Janjucetus did filter feed, it probably also hunted larger animals. Otherwise its jaws wouldn't have been so strong or its teeth so deeply rooted. But Janjucetus wasn't related to modern toothed whales. While it wasn't a direct ancestor of modern baleen whales, it was part of the baleen whale's family tree. Baleen whales, also called mysticetes, have baleen plates made of keratin instead of teeth. After the whale fills its mouth with water, it closes its jaws, pushes its enormous tongue up, and forces all that water out through the baleen. Any tiny animals like krill, copepods, small squid, small fish, and so on, get trapped in the baleen. It's just like the crabeater seal, but really specialized and way bigger. Whether or not Janjucetus could and did filter feed doesn't really matter, because the fact that it's an ancestral relation of modern baleen whales but it had teeth helps us understand more about modern whales. Next, Eilee wanted to learn about the Benguela [BEN-gull-uh] dolphin, also called Heaviside's dolphin. It lives only off the southwestern coast of Africa, and it's really small, only a little over 5 and a half feet long at the most, or 1.7 meters. It's dark gray with white markings,

Faraos hantverkare i Konungarnas dal

Byn Deir el-Medina låg i en isolerad dal, utanför dagens Luxor i Södra Egypten, där några unika arbetare levde under Nya riket (ca 1500–1080 f.Kr.). De var kungagravarnas byggare i Kungarnas dal utanför forntidens Thebe. Deras uppgift var att säkra faraonernas eviga vila, men samtidigt skapade de ett samhälle så ovanligt att det fortfarande fascinerar.Medan bönderna i det övriga Egypten slet, levde invånarna i Deir el-Medina ett skyddat men strikt kontrollerat liv. De var privilegierade hantverkare med statlig lön, egna tempel och tillgång till litteratur – men också föremål för sträng övervakning, maktmissbruk och genomförde också den första dokumenterade strejken i historien.I detta avsnitt av Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med egyptologen och museiintendenten Sofia Häggman, aktuell med boken Faraos egna arbetare: Liv och död i Konungarnas dal (Natur och kultur), om livet i hantverkarbyn Deir el-Medina och dess roll i den faraoniska gravkulturen.Deir el-Medina grundades i början av den 18:e dynastin i forntidens Egypten, omkring 1500 f.Kr., som en statligt organiserad bosättning för de arbetare som byggde och dekorerade faraonernas gravar i Konungarnas dal. Här bodde skrivare, målare, stenbrytare, arkitekter och deras familjer i ett samhälle som i praktiken fungerade som en självstyrande enklav.Deir el-Medina var ett strikt organiserat samhälle, styrt av Nekropolens administration. Arbetarna kallades ”kungens egna män” och arbetade i lag under två förmän, medan skrivarna ansvarade för dokumentation, närvarolistor och löner. Lojaliteten till farao formaliserades i en ed, där arbetarna svor att inte stjäla eller avslöja kungliga hemligheter.Byn var en sluten, men livlig värld. Invånarna hade egna hus, mark och tillgång till spannmålslöner från staten. De hade fritid, bedrev hantverk och upprätthöll religiösa kulter, särskilt till gudinnan Hathor. Skrivkunnigheten var exceptionellt hög – upp till 40 procent av befolkningen kunde läsa och skriva, jämfört med bara några få procent i det övriga Egypten.Det unika med Deir el-Medina är överflödet av skriftliga källor: ostraka (lerbitar med text), papyrus och gravinskrifter som avslöjar vardagslivet i detalj. Den framstående skrivaren Butehamon spelade en central roll i byns senare historia. Han ansvarade både för gravbyggen och för räddningsinsatser när gravplundrare hotade den kungliga nekropolen. Genom hans texter får vi inblick i rättssystem, samhällsstruktur och religiös praktik.Arbetarna fick ersättning i form av naturaförmåner – främst matleveranser – från staten. När dessa uteblev utbröt historiens kanske första dokumenterade strejker. Trots sitt isolerade läge hade byn ett aktivt socialt och rättsligt liv. Kvinnor kunde äga egendom, arbeta och spela viktiga roller i kulten. Prästerskapet var i huvudsak lekmannamässigt, men det religiösa livet var intensivt – särskilt kring skyddsgudinnan Meretseger och de årliga festligheterna tillägnade Amenhotep I, byns helgonkung.Bildtext: Gravkammaren tillhörande Nebenmaat i Deir el-Medina (TT219). Graven TT219 tillhör Nebenmaat, en skrivare verksam i den faraoniska dödskultens tjänst. Den ligger i hantverkarbyn Deir el-Medina på Thebens västra sida och är rikt dekorerad, vilket vittnar om Nebenmaats höga status i samhället.

Romarrikets grafitti - att närma sig vanliga romare

När vi läser graffiti på badhusen, statyer och gravmonument i det antika Romarriket kommer vi närmare de vanliga människorna än i elitens klassiska texter från Rom. Här framträder hela människan med allt från kärleksklotter, snusk, skämt, förbud, reklam och sorg.Vår bild av romarriket kommer i stor utsträckning från klassiska författare ur den yppersta eliten. Men överallt har vi hittat klotter av vanliga människor– allt från slavar, kvinnor, kärlekspar, värdshusägare till skolungdomar. Romarna levde i en utpräglad urban miljö och trots att 2000 år har förflutit kan vi känna igen oss i romarna.I reprisen av avsnitt 48 av podcasten Historia Nu samtalar programledare Urban Lindstedt med Dominic Ingemark, docent i antikens kultur och samhällsliv vid Uppsala universitet. Han har skrivit boken Väggarnas vittnesbörd – Graffiti och gravinskrifter berättar om livet i romarriket.Vi sidan om klotter på vers lär vi oss mycket om romarrikets vardagsliv genom skriven reklam för politiker, värdshus och gladiatorspel. Även barnen framträder med barnsliga teckningar och skolungdomars klotter utifrån klassiska texter de läst i skolan.Mest drabbad blir man av gravinskriptioner där sorgen efter en älskad hustru eller ett älskat barn känns flera tusen år efter skrevs.Bildtext: Vägginskription på puts från det romerska museet i Augusta Raurica, fotograferad i augusti 2013. © Codrin.B / Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0.Inskriptionen är ett exempel på romersk epigrafik och vittnar om det administrativa och kulturella livet i den romerska provinsstaden Augusta Raurica, belägen i dagens Schweiz.

Friday of the Thirty-First Week in Ordinary Time - Stewards of Earthly Riches

Catholic Daily Reflections

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 6, 2025 7:00


Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples, “A rich man had a steward who was reported to him for squandering his property. He summoned him and said, ‘What is this I hear about you? Prepare a full account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be my steward.'” Luke 16:1–2There is much to ponder in this parable and many lessons from which we can learn. To begin, the rich man should be understood as God and you as the steward. This is an important first lesson to learn because it reveals to us that, when it comes to material things in this world, God is the true owner of all—we are only stewards. Think about that carefully. When it comes to all that you own, all your money and possessions, do you hold on to it as if you were the complete master of these material items? Clearly most people do think this way. They may work hard to earn a living, save and buy this and that, build up their bank accounts, and then remain very attached to these material things, seeing them as “mine” rather than as God's. So the first very challenging lesson we should look at is that all we “own” is actually the possession of God. He only permits us to be stewards of the things of this world. Do you believe that?As stewards, we must be committed to use the riches within our stewardship only in the way that God wants it used. In this parable, the steward was reported to the rich man for “squandering his property.” We also are guilty of squandering the possessions of God when we use money in accord with our own will and desires rather than those of God's. This is an exceptionally common tendency, especially for those who have become the stewards of much money. Therefore, the more money that one has stewardship over, the more they will be tempted to squander it, meaning, use it for selfish purposes rather than for the glory of God in accord with His will. This is a hard teaching to accept and live. But these truths are indeed revealed to us by this parable, so it is essential that we listen.The words spoken by the rich man, “Prepare a full account of your stewardship,” are words that we must all anticipate hearing one day. If that day were today, what would that “full account of your stewardship” look like? Have you worked hard for selfish gain? Or have you worked hard to act with great responsibility over the things God has entrusted to your care?As the parable continues, we read that the steward acted “prudently” in that he devised a plan to make sure his material needs were met once he lost his position as steward. The “prudence,” however, that is spoken of here is a reference to the worldly, and therefore, evil ingenuity, cleverness, hard work and commitment many people have regarding the material wealth they seek to obtain in this world. Though it is good to be diligent and hardworking in life, too often this is done for the purpose of selfish gain. Just imagine if everyone who worked so hard at getting rich put even more effort into building up the Kingdom of God on earth! How different this world would be if we had so many hard workers for God's mission. Reflect, today, upon the simple truth that when it comes to the riches of this world, you are only the steward of what you possess, not its master. God wants you free from the attachment to material wealth so that you will be free to use all that you have for His glory and in accord with His purpose. That does not mean that you must donate all you have to charities. Instead, it means that you continually offer all that you have to God and seek to use it in accord with His will and His will alone. If that means you discern that God wants you to buy something new, then buy something new. If that means giving more away, then give more away. If that means living more simply as a holy sacrifice, then do just that. Money cannot buy happiness. Only embracing God's will to the fullest will result in the happiness and fulfillment you deeply desire. My Lord of all riches, You and You alone are the Master of all things created. All that I have and possess are Yours, dear Lord. Help me to believe this and to live my life purely as a steward of the possessions I have. Free me from squandering that which You have entrusted to my care. May I use all for Your glory and only in accord with Your holy will. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Андрей Николаевич Миронов (A.N.

This episode takes us to a graveyard for Halloween and explores one of the most canonical poems in the English language, poised between two huge eras of poetry as it meditates on how "the paths of glory lead but to the grave." The whole poem can be found below. The image is of Thomas Gray's monument in Stoke Poges, inscribed with his elegy.

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard By Thomas Gray The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea, The plowman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the world to darkness and to me. Now fades the glimm'ring landscape on the sight, And all the air a solemn stillness holds, Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight, And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds; Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tow'r The moping owl does to the moon complain Of such, as wand'ring near her secret bow'r, Molest her ancient solitary reign. Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree's shade, Where heaves the turf in many a mould'ring heap, Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep. The breezy call of incense-breathing Morn, The swallow twitt'ring from the straw-built shed, The cock's shrill clarion, or the echoing horn, No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed. For them no more the blazing hearth shall burn, Or busy housewife ply her evening care: No children run to lisp their sire's return, Or climb his knees the envied kiss to share. Oft did the harvest to their sickle yield, Their furrow oft the stubborn glebe has broke; How jocund did they drive their team afield! How bow'd the woods beneath their sturdy stroke! Let not Ambition mock their useful toil, Their homely joys, and destiny obscure; Nor Grandeur hear with a disdainful smile The short and simple annals of the poor. The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r, And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave, Awaits alike th' inevitable hour. The paths of glory lead but to the grave. Nor you, ye proud, impute to these the fault, If Mem'ry o'er their tomb no trophies raise, Where thro' the long-drawn aisle and fretted vault The pealing anthem swells the note of praise. Can storied urn or animated bust Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath? Can Honour's voice provoke the silent dust, Or Flatt'ry soothe the dull cold ear of Death? Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid Some heart once pregnant with celestial fire; Hands, that the rod of empire might have sway'd, Or wak'd to ecstasy the living lyre. But Knowledge to their eyes her ample page Rich with the spoils of time did ne'er unroll; Chill Penury repress'd their noble rage, And froze the genial current of the soul. Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear: Full many a flow'r is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. Some village-Hampden, that with dauntless breast The little tyrant of his fields withstood; Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest, Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood. Th' applause of list'ning senates to command, The threats of pain and ruin to despise, To scatter plenty o'er a smiling land, And read their hist'ry in a nation's eyes, Their lot forbade: nor circumscrib'd alone Their growing virtues, but their crimes confin'd; Forbade to wade through slaughter to a throne, And shut the gates of mercy on mankind, The struggling pangs of conscious truth to hide, To quench the blushes of ingenuous shame, Or heap the shrine of Luxury and Pride With incense kindled at the Muse's flame. Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife, Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray; Along the cool sequester'd vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way. Yet ev'n these bones from insult to protect, Some frail memorial still erected nigh, With uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture deck'd, Implores the passing tribute of a sigh. Their name, their years, spelt by th' unletter'd muse, The place of fame and elegy supply: And many a holy text around she strews, That teach the rustic moralist to die. For who to dumb Forgetfulness a prey, This pleasing anxious being e'er resign'd, Left the warm precincts of the cheerful day, Nor cast one longing, ling'ring look behind? On some fond breast the parting soul relies, Some pious drops the closing eye requires; Ev'n from the tomb the voice of Nature cries, Ev'n in our ashes live their wonted fires. For thee, who mindful of th' unhonour'd Dead Dost in these lines their artless tale relate; If chance, by lonely contemplation led, Some kindred spirit shall inquire thy fate, Haply some hoary-headed swain may say, "Oft have we seen him at the peep of dawn Brushing with hasty steps the dews away To meet the sun upon the upland lawn. "There at the foot of yonder nodding beech That wreathes its old fantastic roots so high, His listless length at noontide would he stretch, And pore upon the brook that babbles by. "Hard by yon wood, now smiling as in scorn, Mutt'ring his wayward fancies he would rove, Now drooping, woeful wan, like one forlorn, Or craz'd with care, or cross'd in hopeless love. "One morn I miss'd him on the custom'd hill, Along the heath and near his fav'rite tree; Another came; nor yet beside the rill, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he; "The next with dirges due in sad array Slow thro' the church-way path we saw him borne. Approach and read (for thou canst read) the lay, Grav'd on the stone beneath yon aged thorn." THE EPITAPH Here rests his head upon the lap of Earth A youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown. Fair Science frown'd not on his humble birth, And Melancholy mark'd him for her own. Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere, Heav'n did a recompense as largely send: He gave to Mis'ry all he had, a tear, He gain'd from Heav'n ('twas all he wish'd) a friend. No farther seek his merits to disclose, Or draw his frailties from their dread abode, (There they alike in trembling hope repose) The bosom of his Father and his God.
