“It seemed to me the basic definition of mental illness, this persistent, painful inability to simply be with someone else. It might be lifelong, or it might descend like a sudden catastrophe, this blankness between ourselves and the rest of the world. The blankness might not even be obvious to others. But on our side of that severed connection, it was hell, a life lived behind glass. The only difference between mild depression and severe schizophrenia was the amount of sound and air that seeped in.” WorldMightSoundSidesDifferencesBehindsHellAirAmountConnectionsMental HealthGlassesDefinitionsPainfulIllnessObviousMental IllnessSevereCatastropheInabilityPersistentLifelongSchizophreniaBlankness Author:Tracy Thompson
“In the end, the fate of children depends on our ability to use technology constructively and carefully. The connection of childrenand technology is not simply a matter of seat belts, safe toys, safe air, water and food, additive-free baby foods, or improved television programming. These are all important issues, but to stop here is to forget that today's children will soon be adults. Technological decisions made today will determine, perhaps irrevocably, the kind of physical and social world we bequeath them and the kind of people they become.” PeopleWorldKindChildrenMadeImportantEndsMatterUseTodaySocialWaterAbilityDecisionForgetTechnologyIssuesFateAirTelevisionBabyDependsSafeAdultsConnectionsDetermineSeatsProgrammingToysTechnologicalBeltsImportant IssuesDecisions MadeSeat BeltsAdditives Book:All Our Children: The American Family Under Pressure Source: All Our Children: The American Family Under Pressure

“You start to realize connections between experiences and things that push your buttons, and things that have touched you in those vulnerable areas and what-have-you. And they form a little collection over time - at least I do - and as time progresses and new things are learned, you kind of sift through those things until they're air or danceable, you know? But they start as this thing that's either too hard or too soft to dance to.” KnowsKindLittlesHardFormRealizingProgressAirAreasConnectionsVulnerableCollectionsTouchedNew ThingsButtons Author:Saul Williams
“The connection between toxicity and cancer and safe air and water and food, all of that was important all along, as were women's and human rights issues, but the nuke issue and the safe energy movement became really important to me in the mid-'70s.” HumansImportantEnergyWaterIssuesRightsAirMovementSafeConnectionsHuman RightsCancerToxicityAir And WaterNukes Author:Bonnie Raitt
“I think as we interpret him and frankly as the world learns to interpret Donald Trump, are these just words that are enigmatic things floating on air or are they actually shifts in policy and will they change moment by moment, day by day without any underlying connection to the actual stuff of governance?
