When I say the report should be read closely, I include this point, which one would think would be elementary:

"Some of these groups describe themselves as 'anti-gender' because they visibly oppose the rights and equality of women and LGBTQ+ people. However, by targeting women and LGBTQ+ people, they also challenge a fundamental human rights principle: that human rights belong to everyone equally. Human rights are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. When the rights of one group are restricted, protections for others can also be weakened, even where the effects are not immediately visible."

Reposting with alt-text, sufficient comment having been made by others.

A finely hand-spun ceramic sugar bowl and lid, the lid closing the bowl. The bowl is nearly cylindrical in shape, spreading out very slightly from bottom to top, then flaring out; it rests on a thin disc of smaller circumference that flares out at the bottom. The lid resembles a shallow inverted soup bowl in shape, with the addition of a circular flange in the middle to use as a handle. On the inside of the flange, slight grooves from the potter's fingers can be made out in the reflections from the glazed surface.

The bowl is a warm light brown in color, and the lid yellow; colors that may belong either to the clay or the glaze. Both are speckled. Gold lettering takes up most of the side of the bowl; the first and last lines in capital letters with serifs, the middle line in script:

Certainly!

There's a degree of resonance, at least: (Text from www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...)

I Kings 22:8, New International Version, found on biblegateway.com:

⁸ The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, "There is still one prophet through whom we can inquire of the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, but always bad. He is..."

If it's the same kind of label as the pronoun labeler uses, it should appear in a count at the foot of your bio.

The last lines of my Bluesky bio, reading "...and one fight, which cannot wait for us to know ourselves." Followed by an information line: "5 labels have been placed on this account," followed by menu headings: Posts, Replies, Media, Videos, Likes, Feeds.

"jugs" would be only minimally figurative this too is valid

If Metamorphoses/The Metamorphoses counts, then this certainly must:

"Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals" (1785; German: "Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten; also known as the "Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals", "Grounding of the Metaphysics of Morals", and the "Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals") is the first of Immanuel Kant's mature works on moral philosophy and the first of his trilogy of major works...

This is the most absurd version of this diagram I've seen yet, as it makes it the children's job to shield their parents as well as vice versa. But absurdity is a plus for this kind of communication, which is really a demonstration of power.

A color drawing, captioned "Biblical Order of the Family", depicting four umbrellas of different sizes mounted, unusually, on the same metallic shaft with a black curved handle and black cylindrical end cap.

The lowest and smallest umbrella is green and is labeled CHILDREN. Underneath it are written "Love Parents" and "Obey Parents".

The umbrella above it is wider and is blue, labeled WIFE. Underneath it, "Comfort", "Teach", and "Nurture". The shaft is interrupted under the word "Teach", suggesting that a second line of text obscured it but was then deleted.

The third umbrella is wider than the second, orange in color, and labeled HUSBAND. Underneath it are the phrases, "Protect Family," "Lead the Family," and "Provide for Family".

The largest umbrella is at the top, has divisions in orange, blue, and green, and is labeled CHRIST. There is no text under it defining Christ's role in the family.

There is a faint background of flowers on the lower quarter of the image, where the handle and caption are, that fades to white behind the rest of the diagram.

Photo by u/bookman1984 from his Reddit post, "I don't see it here that often, so here's my James Michener collection."

The photo shows a white-painted bookshelf with a row of ten hardcover books by Michener in their dust jackets. From left to right, the books are "Space", "The Covenant", "Poland", "Chesapeake", "Centennial", "Hawaii", "Texas", "Alaska", "Mexico", and "Caribbean". All the covers are black except "Hawaii", "Mexico", and "Caribbean", which are white, the latter two having small multicolored images of tropical sunsets. The middle three books are not as tall as the others, and expose part of a label or poster--or perhaps a thin book trapped behind the others--on which we can read the words, "The World".

It had been an unusual bus journey from the first, but I had no inkling of trouble until we arrived at Port Townsend and my younger passengers all started to take their clothes off.
