#Human memory

[dontforgetukraine]

On November 15, 1949, in the village of Dmytrivka, Sumy region, Mykola Mykhailovych Bondarenko was born — a Ukrainian graphic artist and author of the artistic album of engravings "Ukraine – 1933: A Cookbook. Human Memory". Mykola Bondarenko created over a hundred works on the Holodomor theme, which were included in the abovementioned book. In this work, the artist offered an unusual perspective on the Holodomor, depicting it with images of plants and animals that people had to consume to survive. These illustrations, rendered in clear black-and-white lines on a dark background, are accompanied by brief descriptions and "recipes"— narratives about how those plants or animals were cooked for eating. "I understood that the Holodomor theme should not be depicted 'head on' (starving people, skeletons, and the like), but through the food of that time. And I wondered: how was that foliage or root prepared? Did they just eat it as is? I asked people to recall how they cooked that food. Thus, these sorrowful recipes appeared, giving rise to the title Cookbook," Bondarenko recalled. In addition to engravings, the book contains testimonies collected by the artist and lists of villagers from Pisky who died during the Holodomor. They were preserved thanks to the miraculous survival of metric books documenting deaths in 1933. It also includes testimonies of fellow villagers, which Bondarenko began recording in the late 1980s during the Soviet era. Mykola Bondarenko is also the author of numerous artistic projects, including the regional Memorial to the Holodomor Victims of the 1932–1933 in Pisky, a monument in the village of Chernecha Sloboda (Buryn district), a stele to Taras Shevchenko, a memorial to the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred and local defenders of Ukraine’s independence, and a monument to the Destroyed Churches (in Buryn town). Suddenly, the artist passed away on June 3, 2023, leaving a rich creative legacy. His works are housed in the Kimura Goro Museum on Oshima Island (Japan), the Ukrainian Orthodox Church Museum in the USA (Bound Brook), S. Petliura Library of the Ukrainian Diaspora in Paris, As well as in the museums of the Sumy region, and numerous private collections across Europe and America. —Holodomor Museum

“I imagine the feelings of two people meeting after many years. In the past they spent some time together, and therefore they think they are linked by the same experience, the same recollections. The same recollections? That's where the misunderstanding starts: they don't, have the same recollections; each of them retains two or three small scenes from the past, but each has his own; their recollections are not similar; they don't intersect.” ― Milan Kundera, Ignorance

All of this, and more. SMH

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.

then they started fighting Covid precautions.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.

now my parents think climate change is a myth.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.

then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.

now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.

you can guess who they voted for.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.

when did they forget?

"Sorry, forgot to press send"

i walked into a different room

and the experience obliterated the text from existence

probably because encoding the event

boundary disrupted encoding the text

but it'd be too awkward to explain my cute little theory about human memory

so i just lied

"Holding your hand doesn't have to mean that I accept your friendship," the liar said to the truthful, trying to lie in front of the only person who understands his intentions.

He knows, of course, that the liar did not lie. For the liar is also the truthful.

The Mandela Effect: A Fascinating Psychological Phenomenon

[snazzymolasses]

omg, you don't know what it means to me to read this! My whole life people have told me I can't possibly remember what it was like to be two years old, but i DO and reading you say this means SO MUCH!

I think you may remember even more than I do, but I remember learning to talk, I remember my grandmother holding me on her lap and pointing up at the moon and saying "Do you see that up in the sky? That's the moon. Can you say 'moon'?" and I said it and she was SO PROUD OF ME and I felt SO HAPPY and I've loved the moon all my life and I know that memory is the reason.

And oh god, the snot, SO MUCH MUCUS, you are so correct about that 😭😭😭

A friend has once again brought it to my attention that it is unusual to have an intact chronological memory of life prior to age 12 and you know what’s weird to ME is that the rest of yall forgot how to sing the clean-up song

یادداشت تیز کرنے کے پانچ بہترین طریقے

انسان کی روزمرہ کی زندگی کے لیے یادداشت کا تیز ہونا بہت ضروری ہے پھر چاہے وہ اہم کاموں کو یاد رکھنا ہو، کسی کے نام اور چہرے کو یاد رکھنا ہو یا نئی معلومات کو ذہن نشین کرنا ہو۔ ایسے لوگ جن کی یادداشت کمزور ہے اور اُنہیں کسی بھی چیز کو یاد رکھنے میں دشواری محسوس ہوتی ہو تو اب اُنہیں پریشان ہونے کی بالکل ضرورت نہیں کیونکہ جس طرح جسمانی ورزش کے ذریعے انسان اپنے جسم کی فٹنس کو بہتر بنا سکتا ہے اسی طرح مختلف قسم کی ورزش سے انسان کے دماغ کو بھی تربیت دی جا سکتی ہے اور یادداشت کو بہتر کیا جاسکتا ہے۔ یہاں ایک نظر چند ایسے مؤثر طریقوں پر ڈال لیتے ہیں جوکہ انسان کی یادداشت کو تیز کرنے میں مدد گار ثابت ہوسکتے ہیں۔

1- میموری گیمز میموری گیمز نہ صرف تفریح کا اچھا ذریعہ ہیں بلکہ یہ انسان کی یادداشت کو چیلنج کرنے اور بہتر بنانے میں بھی کارآمد ہیں۔ میچنگ کارڈز، نمبرز یا الفاظ کی ترتیب کو یاد کرنے جیسے گیمز انسان کے دماغ کو مشغول کرتے ہیں اور اس کی یادداشت کو مضبوط کرنے میں مدد کرتے ہیں۔ میموری گیمز، اب بورڈ گیمز یا ڈیجیٹل ایپل��کیشنز کی شکل میں بھی دستیاب ہیں اور کوئی بھی بہت آسانی سے ان گیمز کو اپنے موبائل فون پر ڈاؤن لوڈ کر کے کھیل سکتا ہے۔

2- پزلز اینڈ کراس ورڈز پہیلیاں، کراس ورڈ پزلز، اور سوڈوکو میں مشغول ہونا انسان کے دماغ کو متحرک کرنے اور علمی صلاحیتوں کو بڑھانے کا ایک بہترین طریقہ ہے کیونکہ ایسی سرگرمیوں کے لیے منطقی سوچ، مسئلہ حل کرنے کی صلاحیت اور یادداشت برقرار رکھنے کی ضرورت ہوتی ہے۔ باقاعدگی سے ایسی سرگرمیوں کا حصّہ بننا انسان کی یادداشت اور مجموعی ذہنی بصارت کو نمایاں طور پر بہتر بنا سکتا ہے۔

3- مراقبہ مکمل دھیان سے مراقبہ کرنا نہ صرف تناؤ کو کم کرنے اور آرام کو فروغ دینے کے لیے مفید ہے بلکہ یادداشت کو بڑھانے کے لیے بھی فائدہ مند ہے۔ دائمی تناؤ، یادداشت اور علمی افعال پر منفی اثر ڈال سکتا ہے، اس لیے ذہن سازی اور مراقبہ کرنے سے تناؤ کی سطح کو کم کرنے میں مدد مل سکتی ہے، جس سے انسان کے دماغ کو بہترین طریقے سے کام کرنے اور معلومات کو زیادہ مؤثر طریقے سے یاد رکھنے میں مدد مل سکتی ہے۔

4 - نئی مہارتیں سیکھنا دماغ کو تیز رکھنے کا ایک بہترین طریقہ یہ ہے کہ انسان نئی مہارتیں سیکھ کر اپنے اسے مسلسل چیلنج کرے۔ اب چاہے اس مقصد کے لیے انسان کوئی نئی زبان سیکھے یا کسی نئے فن کی تلاش کرے۔ نئی مہارتیں حاصل کرنا دماغ کے مختلف حصّوں کو متحرک کرتا ہے اور نئے اعصابی رابطوں کی تشکیل کی حوصلہ افزائی کرتا ہے یوں یہ عمل انسان کی یادداشت اور علمی صلاحیت کو بہتر بنانے میں مددگار ثابت ہوتا ہے۔

5 - دماغی تربیت کی ایپس موجودہ ڈیجیٹل دور میں دماغ کی تربیت کرنے والی ایپس بہت بڑی تعداد میں دستیاب ہیں جوکہ انسان کی میموری، توجہ، اور مسائل حل کرنے کی صلاحیت کو بڑھانے کے لیے تیار کی گئی ہیں۔ خاص طور پر علمی فعل کے مختلف پہلوؤں کو بہتر بنانے کے لیے ڈیزائن کی گئی یہ ایپس دلچسپ طریقوں اور گیمز کی ایک وسیع رینج پیش کرتی ہیں۔ ان ایپس کا باقاعدگی سے استعمال انسان کے دماغ کو ورزش کرنے اور اس کی یادداشت کو بہتر کرنے کا ایک خوشگوار طریقہ ہے۔
