A Reanalysis of the Equality Model in Northern Ireland nordicmodelnow.org/2024/01/1…

Sex industry lobbyists repeatedly state as fact that the official study into the implementation of the Nordic Model (aka Equality Model) in Northern Ireland (NI) shows that the Nordic Model doesn’t work and causes more violence for women. A data scientist re-examined the data and shows that far from being a failure, the data shows that the Nordic Model led to a significant reduction in the scale of the sex trade in NI and no reliable evidence of an increase in violence. Read the report. Link in next tweet.

Cicely Saunders fell in love with a dying man. London, 1948. David Tasma, a 40-year-old Polish Jew who escaped the Warsaw Ghetto, was dying of cancer in agonizing pain. Cicely, a 30-year-old medical social worker, sat with him for weeks. He told her there was no proper place for people like him to die with dignity. Before he died, he gave her his life savings — £500 — and said: “I’ll be a window in your home.” She built that home. Born June 22, 1918, in north London, Cicely trained as a nurse during WWII and witnessed hospitals abandon the dying — isolating them, leaving them in pain, treating death as failure. After a back injury, she became a medical social worker, then, at 33, entered medical school on a doctor’s challenge. She qualified as a doctor in 1957. At St Joseph’s Hospice, she pioneered regular morphine dosing to control pain without addiction or drowsiness, and developed the concept of “total pain” — addressing physical, emotional, social, and spiritual suffering. In 1967, she opened St Christopher’s Hospice in Sydenham — the first modern hospice combining expert care, teaching, and research. David Tasma’s £500 seeded it; a plain window honors him. She pioneered home care, outpatient services, and bereavement support. Her words: “You matter because you are you, and you matter to the end of your life.” Her model spread globally, birthing the modern hospice and palliative care movement. Cicely married Polish painter Marian Bohusz-Szyszko in 1980. She worked at St Christopher’s into her late 80s and died there of breast cancer on July 14, 2005, at 87 — cared for by the principles she created. Before Cicely, the dying were forgotten. She turned love and grief into a revolution of dignity that has comforted millions. Every hospice on Earth owes its light to her window for David Tasma.

Despite what they say, the ability to read & write remains our greatest technology, and they want to take it from us. As Wendell Berry said, “The next great division of the world will be between people who wish to live as creatures and people who wish to live as machines.”

I’ve been informed by folks on this site that The Hobbit and now Jane Austen are too difficult for teens. I can’t stress enough how condescending this is to teenagers. You’re taking away all the things that might bring them joy and leaving them with no pastimes but scrolling.
