“We are proud Jews who denounce the weaponization of Jewish identity and the memory of the Holocaust to justify what many experts in international law, including leading Holocaust scholars, have identified as a “genocide in the making.” We reject the false choice between Jewish safety and Palestinian freedom. We stand with all those calling for a permanent ceasefire, including the safe return of all hostages and the immediate delivery of aid into Gaza, and an end to Israel’s ongoing bombardment of and siege on Gaza.

“We honor the memory of the Holocaust by saying: Never again for anyone.”

Yes

A lot of my ancestors have perished in the Holocaust. My great-grandma surviving is the only reason i'm even here now and i say free Palestine, beacuse yes, never again is now!

Udało się! Uruchamiamy w moim sąsiedztwie oddolnie plac zabaw i socjalizacji dla psów. Nazywa się "Wesołe #pieski ze Wschowy" i ma być wzorcowym przedsięwzięciem społecznym. W perspektywie są Wesołe Pieski w innych miejscach.

Potrzebujemy ładnego, radosnego i prostego w wydruku logo do materiałów informacyjnych. Nie będę się kalał wiecie-czym, więc bardzo proszę osoby sprawcze rysunkowo o wsparcie projektu. Nieśmiertelności może Wam to nie zapewni, ale wdzięczność psio-ludzką na pewno.

BANNED IN HER OWN STATE!

MAGA Gov. Kristi Noem was banished from the Rosebud Indian Reservation in her own state of South Dakota on Thursday, the fourth Lakota tribe to bar her from its lands in recent months.

A natural basic income experiment began in the mid-1990s and how the kids (now in their 30s and 40s) are doing is incredible. As adults, they have fewer drug problems and their average IQ is higher. By age 26, the benefits of the UBI exceeded its cost by 3-to-1 thanks to better educational outcomes and reduced spending on crime and medical care.

I was approached by a local theater working on its #sustainability / future-thinking course for the youth (15-23 or so).

They would like me to design a narrative card game which could help the kids imagine a better, sustainable future, making them feel agency over their lives.

It needs to be easy to learn, use and have lesson plans.

I'm currently thinking along the lines of "For the Queen", "The Story Engine", "The Quiet Year", "Dialect"...

I would like to tag in @armadajosh, because I know that's close to his interests, and he's made worldbuilding games like Polis, that takes inspiration from @benrobbins's #MicroscopeRPG and builds a city, complete with its story.
in reply to Johannes

@Johannes @armadajosh @benrobbins thank you! I didn't know such awesome names graced Mastodon!

I need to look into Polis, but at the same time I want to go over the requirements and possible lesson plans again.

I put a lot of work into the @SolarpunkPrompts and finding the right narratives to unlock young people's visions of the future and I wonder what's the best angle to use the same lessons in a form of a game.

I don't want to give them a great ruleset to populate with bad prompts / ideas.

in reply to alxd ✏️ solarpunk prompts

@Johannes @benrobbins @SolarpunkPrompts sounds like a very interesting project. I've been thinking a bit about how a game could help people imagine a better future myself, but I get the feeling we might be coming at it from slightly different angles. Good that there's going to be stuff happening in this space, I think we need it.
in reply to alxd ✏️ solarpunk prompts

@armadajosh @benrobbins @SolarpunkPrompts I'm happy there's maybe some inspiration for your project in the analogue worldbuilding games that are already out there.

In my view, For the Queen and its engine is extremely accessible, but doesn't build a world so much as a story. If you could post a bit more about your design goals, it could be easier to point to relevant material if that's welcome.

in reply to Johannes

@Johannes @armadajosh @benrobbins

I already started working on a FtQ-based Solarpunk game, but I'm not sure if it will align with what the theater wants to commission.

My biggest argument for making it more of a story-based game than worldubilding game is the sense of agency in the players - probably teenagers with little previous RPG / storytelling experience. I don't want to give them static materials, I want them to feel the power of creating something.

Will update you as I get more info!

in reply to alxd ✏️ solarpunk prompts

This sounds great, I'm curious to hear what you will build. Let me know if you'd like more material or a bit of conversation/playstorming/testing at any point.

Edit: If you haven't seen In This World, you should definitely give it a look. For my money, it's the most world for the least effort I know of.

If you're interested in agency for kids in a social setting, I'd like to point you to some of the work being done in the Nordics. I'm just back from watching the Nordic Larp Talks at Solmukohta/Knudepunkt, and the case study from Norway might be right up your alley, if your client is a theater and might want to work with the tools of larp/embodiment rather than something boardgame-like.

The bike shop I work at just told me that they are going ahead with their policy of installing cameras in the shop to monitor employees. They say these are not used to track productivity, but the CEO is a union busting ex-Amazon exec and he has given himself that power, so that's enough for me. My last day will be mid-May and I am now properly desperate to find a new job before I lose my house. Leads in the bicycle or software industry welcome in or around #Atlanta or #Remote.

This is Swedish diplomat Folke Bernadotte who personally saved 31,000 Jews and non-Jews from Nazi Germany.

He was chosen to be the United Nations Security Council mediator in the Palestine–Israeli conflict of 1947–1948.

The Zionists killed him in Jerusalem after he wrote his report detailing the devastated Palestinian villages he saw and the mass killings.

Had a seizure in the checkout. Someone, with all the kindest intentions in the world, called the police to do a Wellness Check.

Please... Please! Don't do this. It disappoints, but the cops are not your friends. A Wellness Check isn't to see if you need help or a carer. It isn't to give you anything. It is to take it away.

While I tend to appreciate folks who are working on accessibility, there is a widespread ableist attitude that disabled people should be grateful for whatever scraps of consideration, inclusion, and accessibility we get.

I have no obligation to feel grateful for that. Being considered, included (including in planning), and having my public university that I've paid for all my adult life be accessible to me is my *right*.

“Fedi HOA” or “Mastodon HOA” are dog whistles.

There are some folks who want you to think it’s wrong for instances to protect their black and/or queer community members by blocking instances that tolerate their members harassing people who are black and/or queer.

Those folks want to conflate that with the folks who fine you for having your grass too long or painting your door the wrong color.

What bums me out about the "van life" and "tiny home" trends is that people who should be starting a revolution are consenting to live in a car or a shed, but they think it's a clever Instagrammable life choice.

Not that I'm trying to date you, but last week my wife flushed and sewage came bubbling up out of the lid of our septic tank cause the septic field is frozen right now, and my puppy went and had himself a drink.

I'm teaching a guillotine workshop next week so I mean, I'm there with you, but composting toilets are alright. Anything that gets people off of overloaded sewer systems is not entirely bad. Our socialist future probably involves a lot more composting in general.

You're right though, I'm just here to speak up for rotting matter lol

I have at least one friend my age who has embraced van life and, it coincides with a number of other signs that they are only doing kinda okay right now, after really kinda nailing it in their early life.

But this is also a view from a thousand yards, we're not really close enough that I trust my perceptions. But from here it looks like a choice made from necessity, not aesthetics, and OP resonates.

For me, I read blogs more than I read threads in the Fediverse. To me, any 10 or 20 post Fediverse thread would get more readers if it was a link to a blog with paragraphs.

Actually, this is just me. When I see a Fediverse thread that's like 20 posts long, I just instantly look for a blog link and if I can't find one, mute the person for 1 hour. Yet, I am that very person that will read a 3 hour estimated reading time blog post in one sitting.

People on Twitter are debating whether a person using uncommon words like "delve" are trying to sound smarter than they are, or worse, are ChatGPT bots, because "normal" people don't talk like that.

You don't have to get upset, or embroiled in the debate. Not worth the time or attention. But I'll share some important context as your friendly neighborhood Nigerian 🙋🏿‍♂️

Many Nigerians have bigger English language vocabularies and better command of grammar than the typical American or English person

in reply to mekka okereke :verified:

I feel this thread a lot and I'm not Nigerian/Nigerian descent but Puerto Rican. I recently had a thing where someone thought I was using a translator because...idk apparently my writing didn't appear to be that of "a native speaker."

Meanwhile in grad school, some of my evaluations had design students offended that I was so rude and arrogant enough to take time to teach the class of college seniors how verb tenses work. Because I had way too many Americans not knowing how tf they work in their essays.

It's not my fault that not only am I a native speaker of English (and Spanish at the same time, it's complicated) from a little small island, but that I know English better than you :ai_niyari:

I've had other moments where folks are impressed I know "old" words :akko_aah:

in reply to NAAN

@naan this does seem to be the line. Whether someone is impressed and thinks you're "smart," or offended and thinks you're a showoff, depends on whether they like you, and/or whether you're triggering an inferiority complex. 🤦‍♀️

in reply to secretsloth

@secretsloth Unfortunately I've mostly have the second happen to me LMAO. I did have one or two people say that my English is impressive (especially after they find out I'm not from an English-speaking country) but I take that in stride because it's such a "okay.png" moment. I know not everyone reacts that way, but considering that nobody realizes I'm not from the US until I tell them, I react as such! :zerotwoevillaugh:

I'd rather someone thinks I'm smart more often, if I had to choose, ngl XD;; One time was being the only one who knew the word "aviatrix" in an anthropology class XD

@naan I'm from the US and a native English speaker, but female presenting, and unfortunately, sounding "smart" tends to bring out the misogyny in a LOT more people than I would have expected growing up. We were taught (technically) that it was good to be "smart," I use quotes because measuring brains is sort of silly. But if a man thinks a woman might be smarter than he is, it can cause a ruckus 😅 nowadays I play it "down" with more humor, because I felt unsafe too often.

I legit had a guy tell me that my intelligence intimidated him when we first were getting to know each other. Looking back, I wish I'd taken that as the red flag I should have, because when I dated him for a few months he treated me like trash and very specifically tried to shove me into a domestic homemaker role that was absolutely the furthest from what I wanted in my life. I was in a bad place at the time, so I put up with it for much longer than I should have. >.

Any scientist or science communicator who takes a pharmacological cure for loneliness seriously needs some sort of emergency philosophical intervention. They are a danger to themselves and others.

https://scienceillustrated.com/humans/loneliness-eats-your-brain

in reply to The Luddite

that kind of nonsense makes me feel nauseas, the scientists and those celebrating them have missed the point to thoroughly I feel embarrassed for them. As social beings, we cannot flourish without the opportunity for good quality relationships. You can‘t ‘cure‘ a lack of such opportunities except by providing them. And that mouse study is vile - it‘s just a re-run of Harry Harlow‘s deeply unethical & very messed-up primate studies from the 50s-80s.
in reply to Grumpy Philosopher

@SteveCooke Yes, I couldn't agree more. I haven't read the study, so maybe it's being misrepresented here, but torturing mice in search of a pharmacological cure for loneliness by placing them in solitary and then trying to get them to act normal via medication makes me feel very angry for many reasons.
