There comes a point when we can eat no more because our bodies simply must have time to digest what we have taken in.
So it is with knowledge, or what passes for knowledge, or facts, or "news," -- there comes a point when we must stop ingesting and take time to review and ponder over, analyze and question, think upon and contemplate what we have taken in.
I've seen so many posts and heard many talking heads talk about how student protesters during Vietnam war ended up getting Nixon elected. They say that current students who are protesting the US and Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank need to pay attention to that. "They'll defeat their purpose and get trump elected"
Fuck that noise! Stop telling people protesting a genocide it'll be their fault. Start telling Biden it will be his
Seems like a good time to remind everyone that it was a student in their dorm recording on a cassette recorder who forever captured the order to fire on students by the Ohio National Guard at Kent State
"Mit Frieden im Ostseeraum wirft der Herausgeber ein Schlaglicht auf eine Region, die in der deutschen Geschichtswissenschaft noch immer wenig Beachtung findet."
@dorotheegoetze über Dirk Schleinert (Hg.), Frieden im Ostseeraum.
Es freut mich sehr, dass die erste von mir für hsozkult betreute Rezension erschienen ist.
It's not acceptable to take #hostages when making demands in #civilrights protest. Taking hostage is against the #genevaconventions, making your cause worthless. Not at all #peace.
Modern #terrorists NEED you to lower your standards to claim their cause is your cause. #terrorism
I'm watching these kids protest a genocide and facing suspension, expulsion and physical danger and I'm so filled with pride at the courage. This can change their lives and they are standing up to power. I'm crying my eyes out here
💜Caring for our community takes a collective effort.
Today, I joined the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute and other volunteers in my childhood Dorchester neighborhood to paint the Mother's Day Walk for Peace route purple! 👟💟
We hung flyers and had great conversations with bodega owners, community members, and local businesses to spread awareness about the 28th annual Mother’s Day Walk for #Peace!☮️
Why can't people just be nice to each other and the planet we all live on?
Why can't people help others when they see they are in need?
Why can't country leaders be happy with the amount of land their country already has?
Why can't we just celebrate all our unique cultures and learn from each other?
This is how I was brought up to be. The path of #peace and a beautiful way of life seems so simple, yet so unachievable. My little brain must be faulty because I just don't understand.
In eastern Rajasthan (specifically within Meena/Gurjar communities), two neighboring villages are invited to participate in Kanhaiya Dangal. This ceremony uses Kanhaiya songs to strengthen their unity.
Medeas (the MCs) guide each village through lyrics and musical flow to make connections. The goal being mutual harmony.
🇺🇦🚨 Never Forget: Russia invaded Ukraine, and the war continues. The invaders and their allies, including elected leaders in the US, are relentless in their propaganda efforts. Their objective? To promote disinformation and dehumanize Ukrainians.
But we won’t be silent. To supporters of Ukraine, let’s use social media as our shield. 🛡️

<<A local man came up and said ‘Please – what does this mean?’ I explained I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website – but on the internet people only look at pictures of kittens.>>
