In Better News...Things To Do, Shop and Eat In Beacon Guides 11/08/2024

This week, you may have only allowed yourself to listen to calm music. To keep yourself regulated as you walk about town. On Tuesday Eve, ALBB put out a message about buckling up for an important roller-coaster ride, which now feels like the roller-coaster cars both soaring down the rails and off the rails. Some passengers have been ejected from their seats, and there are open wounds that need dressing. Some passengers flew out of their seats due to faulty buckles. Some passengers got flung into an entirely different ride  - The Gravitron - which is the one where you are up against a wall, cheeks being pulled behind your ears - stuck there defying gravity - as the room spins. We encourage you to read as much as you can while you're in your reflections - about Black women, about anti-racism learning spaces for white women led by Black women so that white women can be less dangerous to others (Ashani has spots open in her Holiday Challenge right now), about white history and the white media's role in influence. If you need a message about processing fear, ALBB posted this one. Happy Veterans Day. For developments on Palestinian liberation, follow this American veteran who speaks about current tactical war moves and past U.S. federal government assigned aggression in the Middle East.                                           THE EVENTS + RETAIL THERAPY GUIDE Add Your Event Here!

It symbolizes the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kartika—between around mid-September and mid-November. The celebrations generally last five or six days.

BINNACLE BOOKS 321 Main Street, Beacon Reading Katharine Graham's autobiography, "Personal History" during these times has been helpful. Raised in a wealthy family, navigating deeply within patriarchy, Katharine's journey to becoming the publisher of the Washington Post to expose Nixon has been revealing. Katharine takes us through American politics before, during and after 1948 (the Palestinian Nakba and Zionist takeover of that land, though she doesn't talk about that, just happenings around that time). She shows how politics and white media were 100% woven in with each other by white men in media - and some white women who were accepted by white men in business and reporting.
