Envisioning queer futures where we lovingly wager everything for the world's children, the planet, and all living beings against all odds, and in increasingly precarious times. Tamara Lea Spira's Queering Families: Reproductive Justice in Precarious Times (U California Press, 2025) traces the shifting dominant meanings of queer family from the late twentieth century to today. With this book, Spira highlights the growing embrace of normative family structures by LGBTQ+ movements--calling into question how many queers, once deemed unfit to parent, have become contradictory agents within the US empire's racial and colonial agendas. Simultaneously, Queering Families celebrates the rich history of queer reproductive justice, from the radical movements of the 1970s through the present, led by Black, decolonial, and queer of color feminist activists. Ultimately, Spira argues that queering reproductive justice impels us to build communities of care to cherish and uphold the lives of those who, defying normativity's violent stranglehold, are deemed to be unworthy of life. She issues the call to lovingly wager a future for the world's children, the planet, and all living beings against all odds, and in increasingly perilous times. Shui-yin Sharon Yam is Professor of Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Studies at the University of Kentucky. She is the author of Inconvenient Strangers: Transnational Subjects and the Politics of Citizenship and more recently, Doing Gender Justice: Queering Reproduction, Kin and Care (co-authored withe Natalie Fixmer-Oraiz).

We all want our life to be all peaks all the time. We want maximum enjoyment, pleasure, satisfaction and achievement every moment of our waking lives. Even when we're asleep, we want the best dreams on the best mattress and sheets. We want to always be at the peak of the rollercoaster of life. We want to reach the peak of the mountain without doing the hard, grudging work to get there. Not only do we want it, but we've come to expect it. And that is one of the major causes of suffering in our modern and comfortable lives.In this podcast episode, I explore if living life a life of just peaks is possible, if it would actually be a good thing, and if it would truly make us happy. I talk about how we can shift our perspective so that we can appreciate those inevitable dips. I share the truth about the fleeting and unsatisfactory nature of peaks. And I discuss how we can learn to find the joy in every step we take on this beautiful journey of life.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Who's your best friend? Did you say yourself? You should, because there's no one more important to you than you. You may think there is, but you can only experience other people through your own state of consciousness. So your state of consciousness is the most important determining factor for your relationships and your happiness in life.So how do you treat yourself? How do you talk to yourself? Are you loving and kind, or critical and harsh? Do you spend quality time with yourself uninterrupted and undistracted, or do you avoid yourself? Do you dread spending extended alone time with just yourself, or do you love it? The answer to this question is the real measure of your happiness. In this podcast, I talk about the nature of our relationship with ourselves. I share 3 simple but powerful steps for improving that relationship. I talk about a practical tool that a shaman in Peru taught me for giving ourselves some much needed self-love. And I share how we can deepen our relationship with ourself in a way that improves our relationships with everyone around us.Remember, if the source of happiness was on top of the world's tallest mountain or at the bottom of the deepest ocean, it would have been discovered long ago and everyone would make a pilgrimage to this place. But instead, the universe put that source of happiness in the last place anyone would think to look — within.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

When we look around and see the suffering in this world, it can be easy to wonder what the point of life is. But it is not our world that shows us the suffering. It is our mind.When we are happy, we notice the kindness and beauty in this world. When we are in pain, we only see the bad stuff.In today's podcast, I talk about how we can change our mindset, not to tune out the world's problems, but because only by changing our level of consciousness can we actually create real and lasting change in this beautiful world.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Why do we exist? Are we here to suffer? Is life a tragedy? Or, is life a cosmic joke? Are we the punchline? Is the joke on us? Sometimes, it's easy to wonder why we are here on this Earth if life is so full of suffering. But one thing is clear; there is a way out of this suffering. The more seriously we take life, the more we suffer. The more attached we are to the physical world, the more we suffer. And the more consumed we are by desire, the more we suffer.Only when we tap into the spiritual dimension, can we find the everlasting joy and humor in the physical one.In today's podcast, I share how we can connect to the deeper reality of our existence. I talk about how to stop taking life so seriously, how to develop a sense of humor about it all, and how to release the immense and needless pressure we put on ourselves.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

The Evolution of Startups Navigating the US Health Ecosystem Host Goel Jasper speaks with Noga Devecseri Spira, Tech Practice Co-lead and Partner at Naschitz Brandes Amir, about how the Israeli startup ecosystem has evolved during her 25 years in the space. Spira also discusses the biggest mistake a healthtech startup can make, and when it's the right time to begin speaking with an attorney about a new venture. Topics discussed include: The Evolution of Startups Navigating the US Health Ecosystem 1. Israeli Startup Ecosystem Evolution Over the last 25 years, Israeli startups have evolved from focusing solely on innovation to considering business strategies, reimbursement, and regulatory pathways. Initially, the emphasis was on IT infrastructure and medical records; now, AI and digital health solutions are at the forefront. 2. Importance of Speed and Agility Silicon Valley culture taught Spira that startups must act quickly due to limited windows of opportunity. Negotiations, particularly with hospitals, must be accelerated as slow-moving processes can hinder startup success. AI developments make rapid market entry even more critical. 3. Israeli vs. US Business Mindsets Earlier, Israeli startups assumed the US system operated similarly to Israel's, which was a mistake. Today, they are more sophisticated, considering regulatory pathways, payment structures, and commercialization early on. Stronger networks now exist between Israeli and US healthtech ecosystems. 4. Role of Legal Strategy in Startups Engaging with a legal team early is crucial to establishing proper structures for intellectual property, liability, and compliance. Delayed legal structuring can lead to costly mistakes. NBA (Naschitz Brandes Amir) allows flexible fee arrangements to support early-stage startups. 5. Balancing PR and Intellectual Property Protection Startups should promote the benefits of their product without revealing their “secret sauce.” Intellectual property must be protected before publicly discussing innovations. Each startup needs a tailored approach to balancing visibility and confidentiality. 6. Common Startup Mistake: Monetization Challenges Many startups fail to establish a solid monetization and reimbursement strategy. Even if a product has a strong ROI, hospitals may not have the budget to adopt it. Startups must align with institutional priorities and understand reimbursement models from the outset. 7. The Role of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in Innovation Military service fosters leadership, confidence, and a culture of risk-taking and problem-solving, which translates into entrepreneurship. The IDF's emphasis on responsibility and adaptability plays a significant role in shaping the Israeli innovation mindset. 8. When to Engage a Law Firm Startups should seek legal guidance from day one to avoid costly structural mistakes. Early decisions on intellectual property ownership, liability, and compliance can impact funding and potential acquisitions. NBA supports startups from formation through IPO and beyond. Final Thought Entrepreneurs should reach out to experienced legal teams early to ensure proper structuring and risk mitigation as they scale.

Two techno savants conjure magic in We Go Forest, with Spira Records co-founder BLNDFLD shaping the original track and Feral adding his hypnotic, transcendent touch. Deep and primal by nature, the release will be available digitally on November 17th. The original track delivers a slower, calm, tribal rhythm, while “Jaguar Paw (Feral Remix)” ventures into a wilder soundscape. From the first beat, listeners are drawn into an immersive world—ancient and alive. A deep bassline keeps the mood steady, as organic and cosmic melodies weave in and out like whispers through trees, capturing the transcendence typical of both artists' styles and within Spira's previous releases. Everything was thoughtfully placed, including pauses, to give space for imagery and mood to deepen, as new layers emerge with sounds reminiscent of ancient wind instruments. Subtle rain then guides us out, concluding an adventurous stroll through a forest. An impeccably crafted track that showcases both artists at their finest. @blndfld @feral_music @spira-records www.instagram.com/blindfld__/ www.instagram.com/feral.heruka/ www.instagram.com/spira_records/ Write up by @danpeplow Follow us on social media: @itsdelayed linktr.ee/delayed www.itsdelayed.com www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed www.youtube.com/@_____delayed

Rupert Spira provides a profound exploration of non-dualism, addressing fundamental questions about our true nature and the essence of existence. Beginning with the inquiry “Who Are You, Really?” Spira guides us through a journey that challenges our habitual thoughts and beliefs, encouraging a deeper connection to our being. He delves into our inherent longing for happiness and the qualities of awareness that shape our experience. As he explains how the universe separates itself to know itself, he highlights the implications for morality and our relationships, viewing them as containers for growth and understanding. Spira also discusses the transformative journey of enlightenment, the different types of meditation, and the potential pitfalls of spiritual ego.  This exploration not only sheds light on the nature of thoughts but also offers practical guidance to embody your true self, making it a must-watch for anyone seeking deeper understanding and fulfillment in life.  Sponsor: Pique's Black Friday specials are HERE with weekly deals in November.

At the age of seventeen he learnt to meditate, and began a twenty-year period of study and practice in the classical Advaita Vedanta tradition under the guidance of Dr. Francis Roles and Shantananda Saraswati, the Shankaracharya of the north of India. During this time he immersed himself in the teachings of P. D. Ouspensky, Krishnamurti, Rumi, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta and Robert Adams, until he met his teacher, Francis Lucille, in 1997. Francis introduced Rupert to the Direct Path teachings of Atmananda Krishna Menon, the Tantric tradition of Kashmir Shaivism (which he had received from his teacher, Jean Klein), and, more importantly, directly indicated to him the true nature of experience. Rupert lives in the UK and holds regular meetings and retreats in Europe and the USA.

It was a taste of pure magic, a simple pleasure he wanted to make accessible to all. ​After leaving the corporate world, Jonah volunteered at a local farm, igniting his passion for farming. In 2013, he took a leap of faith and launched a microgreens business right out of his parents' modest 150 sqft spare room. Little did he know that this humble beginning would grow into the 5000 sqft facility known today as Living Earth Farm – one of Canada's premier organic microgreen growers. ​

In this episode, I sat down with Jon Spira to dive deep into the making of his latest documentary, The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee. If you're a regular listener, you know Jon's been on the podcast a couple of times before, and it's always a treat to hear him talk about his work.This time around, he takes us through the journey of bringing Christopher Lee's story to life—literally.Jon kicked things off by sharing what drew him to this project in the first place. Inspired by a mix of fascination and intrigue, he became captivated by Lee's enigmatic presence, especially after rewatching a rather unusual "This Is Your Life episode" featuring Lee. Jon's documentary doesn't just skim over Lee's storied career, from Hammer Horror to The Lord of the Rings, but it digs into the emotional layers of a man who, despite his towering on-screen persona, was often plagued by self-doubt and a desire to control how the world perceived him.We spent a good amount of time talking about the challenges Jon faced in portraying someone as multifaceted as Christopher Lee. It's no small feat to condense a career that spanned over six decades into a single film. Jon wanted to avoid the usual biographical pitfalls—just ticking off achievements and movie titles—and instead aimed for something more intimate and emotionally resonant. He wanted viewers to come away with a sense of who Christopher Lee really was, beyond just the roles he played.One of the more fascinating parts of our conversation was Jon's decision to use a marionette puppet to represent Lee. It was an unconventional choice, but as Jon explained, it made perfect sense for a subject who was so concerned with how his story was told. He originally toyed with the idea of CGI but felt that it lacked the emotional warmth he was looking for. So, he collaborated with Andy Gent, known for his work with Wes Anderson and Tim Burton, to create a beautifully crafted puppet of Lee. And who better to provide the voice than Peter Serafinowicz, whose deep, rich tones helped bring that puppet to life. Jon's approach allowed Lee to narrate his own story, with other voices occasionally chiming in to add a touch of warmth and gentle contradiction. It's this kind of creative storytelling that sets Jon's work apart—finding new ways to tell familiar stories.Jon and I also delved into some of the broader challenges facing filmmakers today. The industry is in a strange place right now, with budgets tightening, streamers changing their strategies, and the rise of new technologies like AI reshaping the landscape. We had a lively discussion about the role of AI in filmmaking. For one specific sequence in the film—recounting a moment when Christopher Lee witnessed the last public execution by guillotine in France—Jon's team used AI-assisted animation to breathe life into archival photos. It's a decision that has sparked some controversy, especially from certain corners of the American press, but Jon sees it as just another tool in the creative toolkit. He acknowledges the fears around AI and the impact it might have on jobs, but he also believes that, when used thoughtfully, it can elevate storytelling in new and exciting ways.Throughout our conversation, a recurring theme was empathy—something that Jon clearly values in his approach to documentary storytelling. He talked about how he always aims to create a sense of connection between the audience and his subjects, to show their humanity in all its complexity. For Jon, it's not just about documenting facts; it's about exploring how those facts feel, and how they shape the person behind the public image. In The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee, this approach results in a film that isn't just a tribute to a cinematic legend but also a portrait of a man grappling with his own insecurities, just like the rest of us.We also touched on the state of cinema today—how trends are shifting, the uncertain future of theatrical releases, and what that means for filmmakers who, like Jon, are passionate about telling unique, challenging stories. It's clear that Jon sees the current moment as both a challenge and an opportunity—a chance to push boundaries and keep audiences engaged in new ways, even if it means embracing some unconventional methods along the way.All in all, our chat was a rich, multi-layered conversation, touching on everything from the intricacies of puppetry to the big questions about where the film industry is headed. It's a must-listen for anyone interested in the art of documentary filmmaking, the evolving landscape of cinema, and the enduring allure of a complex, larger-than-life figure like Christopher Lee.

She is sharing how she experienced burnout while teaching and the need for self-advocacy among teachers who often feel pressured to meet their students' needs while neglecting their own. We're also looking at how teacher vacancies impact overall teacher well-being and how she is still making an impact on students and teachers through her current role.Hayley Spira-Bauer is the Chief Operating Officer of Fullmind as well as a New York State certified teacher. She spent the tenure of her teaching career in brick and mortar schools in New York City, working in a public school in the South Bronx and and then a charter school in Harlem for a decade.

Le coup d'envoi des européennes, c'est dans une semaine exactement : les Néerlandais seront les premiers à déposer leurs bulletins dans les urnes pour ce scrutin qui s'étend du 6 au 9 juin 2024.

Outre-Rhin, c'est l'aboutissement de dix années de combat. Mais le sujet reste polémique, car il est difficile de trouver une cohérence politique aux règles électorales.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Lessons from two pioneering advocates for farmed animals, published by LewisBollard on April 26, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Note: This post was crossposted from the Open Philanthropy Farm Animal Welfare Research Newsletter by the Forum team, with the author's permission. The author may not see or respond to comments on this post. What would Ruth and Henry do? How much can one person achieve for animals? Ruth Harrison (1920-2000) and Henry Spira (1927-1998) started out pessimistic. They inherited an animal welfare movement that had generated more noise than results, especially for farmed animals. As factory farming arose in the mid 20th Century, the movement paid little attention. Moderate groups, like the ASPCA and RSPCA, were too busy sheltering lost cats and dogs - a role that had largely supplanted their original missions to win legal reforms for all animals. Radical activists, meanwhile, were waging an endless war on animal testing. "Self-righteous antivivisection societies had been hollering, 'Abolition! All or Nothing!,'" Spira recalled, noting that during that time animal testing had skyrocketed. "That was a pitiful track record, and it seemed a good idea to rethink strategies which have a century-long record of failure." Harrison and Spira shook up this impasse. Harrison's 1964 book Animal Machines exposed factory farming to a mass audience and led to the world's first on-farm animal welfare laws. Spira's campaigns won the world's first corporate animal welfare policies, first for lab animals and then farmed animals. Today's movement, which has won dozens of laws and thousands of corporate policies to protect factory farmed animals, owes much to Harrison and Spira. So how did they do it? And what can we learn from them? Ruth-lessly effective advocacy In 1960, an obscure grassroots group, the Crusade Against All Cruelty to Animals, pushed a leaflet against "factory farming" through Ruth Harrison's door. They got lucky. The leaflet prompted Harrison, a Quaker peace activist and life-long vegetarian, to reflect that "in doing nothing I was allowing it to happen." She set out to study the issue. The result was Animal Machines, the first book to document the cruelty of factory farms. With graphic images and vivid prose, she described a system "where the animal is not allowed to live before it dies." She called for a slate of political reforms. Harrison then expertly promoted her book. She got Rachel Carson, the author of Silent Spring, to write a foreword. Harrison leveraged Carson's endorsement to get a top publisher and to serialize the book in a London newspaper. The book's publication sparked an outcry loud enough to force a reluctant UK Ministry of Agriculture to order a commission of inquiry.
