Belted kingfishers, with their fluffy topknots, often left their perches in the trees along the beach to flutter their blue-and-white plumage past my bunker. They eyed me through the unglazed window with fearless curiosity. River otters scooched along the beach below me sometimes, and once in a while I saw an orca breach, carving an arc between sea and sky. Their sleek black-and-white beauty was no less majestic than that of the eagles, and I cheered softly when I caught sight of them.”

- ¡Fuegoo!
Y la descarga cerrada, estridente, silbante. Las calles se teñían en sangre. Baldomera había llegado a la cabeza de la manifestación. Movía los brazos en el aire y gritó hasta enronquecer. Poco rato duró la sugestión de su figura. Los brazos, con los puños cerrados, cortaban el aire. Se alzaban picos, palos, banderas rojas, letreros. Y los cabellos de las mujeres flotando, flotando al viento. Y las voces que atolondraban todo. Y los empujones. La asfixia. El ir de un lado al otro, llevado por todos, sin pisar el suelo. Alaridos y quejas. El silbido cortante de las balas. El olor de la pólvora. El inclemente martilleo de los ametralladoras. Los cuerpos humanos tronchándose como racimos, fecundando la tierra, sembrando la venganza y el odio. Las quijadas abiertas, los ojos saltados, los brazos queriendo subir y subir para escapar por algún lado. Los niños con las manos crispadas, arrugando las mantas de las madres, chillando, las facciones paralizadas. Y sin armas, carajo, con qué matar soldados y generales.”

“Ball busting [a friendly form of humor]...contains a fundamental flaw, one that has done immeasurable harm to the male psyche, and basically eliminated dance and music as potential outlets for bonding.
That is the use of the term 'gaaay.'
It's a form of self-policing, some fucked-up safe word that got called out if any behavior approached a level where it felt intimate or affectionate. Really anything that felt 'feminine,' and that list was long.
It was not used to describe romantic attraction to another many--though it certainly insulted that entire idea in an inexcusable way--but instead was used to reinforce what Niobe Way, a psychology professor at NYU, calls the 'crisis of connection' among men. We so fear being called -gaaay- for making connections that are 'feminine' that we sacrifice intimacy for casual banter.
It's a huge disconnect, perhaps the central one at the heart of the problems of with modern male bonding. And unlike many 'male' things, it cannot be blamed on genetics. It's cultural. It's learned.”

“Ballarat survivor Andrew Collins, watching in the room in Rome, said the first word that came into his mind was 'empathy'. 'To me it showed that he [Cardinal George Pell, giving evidence before the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse] struggled to show any,' Collins says. 'We didn't see it as a blunder, as he thinks carefully before he speaks and is very intelligent and articulate. This is just how his mind works. If it's not about him, involving him or of benefit to him, then it hardly registers.”

“Ballet dancers are a self-chosen elite. To survive and surmount years of disciplinary preparation and seasons of even more arduous performance requires rigid determination and almost mindless self-abnegation. One other factor is difficult to predetermine: without a certain admixture of hysteria - sometimes masking as self-obsession, sometimes even counterfeiting incipient madness - performers, at once acrobats, artists, and animals, make little public impression.”
