The number of people on the internet who think using shame will cause people to change or even listen shows the gut belief about the human mid works. Shame only EVER works if paired with respect. You must care about the opinion of a person before shame has any impact at all. Shaming people online especially is dumb with your own assumption that they respect you. Shame is a method of showing a lack of respect and poor opinion. Shame is respect denial but only actually after giving respect. You are being essentially an emotional drug dealer. They need their fix, but you HAVE to get them hooked first. If you haven't do that, people react terribly because literally all you are doing is disrespecting someone, straight off the bat and unless you are really charismatic, your chances of having the impact you want is near zero. #psychology#communication#shame

#WordWeavers 2404.29 — Who's feeling shame in your story? Is it justified?
/It's'a [#brainfog#fibromyalgia day, but I'm gonna write this to get something out. Hoping it's coherent. —RS/]
This question made me think hard for quite awhile until I—like an artist or a photographer deciphering how shadow defines volume and dimension—saw /negative space/ in a story... where something wasn't. Emptiness.
Wintereyes /doesn't/ feel #shame, and I'm realizing this is an #emotion with which I can make a #feminist point in my story. Whilst shame is IMHO used more often to control women than it is men, it is both incidious and /learned./ Shame is a combination of built-in emotions programmed into a person to make a person self-punish for "wrong" behavior even if it's secret; it's related to, but not the same as guilt.
Wintereyes was raised by wolves, but not until she was 7 when her "gift" caused her to seek a second set of parents. Her early childhood will require investigation in another story, but I'm pretty sure her human parents didn't teach her the emotion; it's not that she forgot. Forced to live again amongst humans over a decade later, to become more human, people's behavior baffles her. Late in the story, when she's asked to disrobe by stylist at a modeling shoot, and does without a thought, the stylist observes, "You don't feel shame, do you?" This is where Wintereyes will go off like a firecracker, and it should be very interesting.
The stylist may actually feel ashamed...

2 guys fired for getting Israel in trouble by doing what they’ve been ordered to do and have done many times already, nevermind the journalists slaughtered in a parallel campaign to keep stories like these at bay (hence the obligatory firings).
Gaza today:
Millions bombed, starving, displaced. Thirty-three thousand dead and counting. Unknown numbers crushed, maimed, buried.
“Violence” in medicine: necessary and unnecessary, intentional and unintentional
Johanna Shapiro, 2018. Phil. Ethics, and Hum. in Med.
"I further suggest possible explanations for the origins of these kinds of violence in physicians, including the fear of suffering and death in relation to vicarious trauma and the consequent concept of “killing suffering”; as well as why patients might be willing to accept such violence directed toward them."
"As has been noted, structural violence injures some, but protects and benefits others. Acknowledging that one is implicated in the suffering of others is a painful realization. To safeguard themselves, many physicians might prefer to avoid it."
Zomi Frankcom, an Australian aid worker who was killed in an IDF attack in Gaza.
Australian PM Anthony Albanese says the death of an Australian aid worker in Gaza is “completely unacceptable” and “beyond any reasonable circumstances”, saying the government will call in the Israeli ambassador and contact Israel’s government.
Albanese says the government is demanding “full accountability” over the death.
@appassionato@palestine if the "allegations" (obviously lies) that UNRWA members were involved in October 7th was enough to cut funds, shouldn't this "accident" be enough to stop exporting weapons and supporting Israel?
@PacificNic PS: DBH is a graduate of my alma mater — and got an honorary degree from there a couple of years ago. This is one of the reasons I refuse to wear my grad ring. #shame
"Joe Biden laid out one after another policy that voters overwhelmingly support. Behind him, Speaker Johnson squirmed, often shaking his head. Republicans sat sourly, usually in silence.
Joe Biden orchestrated a public event where voters could see that Republicans collectively want government to fail, want popular policies to fail.
We could do with a lot more shame in the United States."
[ [#Johnson said: "A lot of the points that Vladimir Putin made are accurate. They're obvious, and so many of our people here in Washington D.C. are just ignoring that, making people believe like Ukraine can win. Putin won't lose. Putin will not lose. He's not going to lose." ]]
He spent the 4th of July as Putin's guest. He has been paid by Russian operatives for his support for the Russian dictatorship.
WI Americans have lost the sense of #shame and patriotism.
Growing up, Mimi felt ashamed because she wasn’t like other #girls, but a chance discovery at 21 changed that. >>>
When she was first told about the enzyme deficiency, she says she was "reassured that I was...a girl, but that I just couldn't do the things that typical girls could do. I was also told that I couldn't tell my siblings or friends about this."
Today in 'Shitty Art-world Gatekeepers Treating Artists Shittily' news...
Wondering what happened to some applications that took days and days to put together, I find that @arselectronica who run an EU Digital Deal residency are not even bothering to notify losers! Only winners contacted.
No feedback was bad enough. Now, not even a courtesy 'no thank you'.
Shame on you, Ars Electronica.
Shame on all you gatekeepers who think it's fine to treat people this way.
"Lawmakers and the governor are so proud of themselves that they’ve already branded this misguided way to deal with homelessness “The Florida Model.” But mandating that a class of people exist behind by barbed wire and supervised by authorities in the name of “security” is called internment. It’s incarceration as punishment for being destitute. And, it’s despicable — reminiscent of some of the world’s worst atrocities."
In a decent society wed have had presidential level attention, massive home construction, and trillions of dollars applied to the homeless crisis. That we havent is a testament to the type of society we are.
NB: US has always had a large number of homeless, from colonial days to the present. It is almost a feature of the American system.
I don't want you to have my life, it is horrible, but I wish sometimes that people could see my life as their own, to feel what I feel to experience life as I do for just a moment, so that maybe they could better understand me and be more open to helping fulfilling my needs, it would be nice to know people are willing to help this #disabled man living in #poverty as he battles #mentalillness while trying so very hard to move forward each day. https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=5BN5MB5BVQL22
@woctxphotog I feel this, ty for using your voice and light even if it hurts and it's almost impossible - you're speaking the heart of those of us who were robbed of our voice due to #shame and abuse
How much effect the ICJ ruling has on the status quo depends on how great of a role shame has in influencing state policy. I happen to think it has a very small role, hardly enough to alter the overwhelming force of history, of capitalist expansionism, of white supremacy, of religious messianism, all of which point toward continued atrocities in Palestine.
Some western politicians may feel a slight twinge of shame upon being exposed for the monsters that they are; they can and will be replaced by others more amenable to the task, as long as unconditional support for Israel is a profitable and politically viable position.
The Israeli state and its most important sponsors have already indicated that they will ignore the ruling. This year marks the twentieth anniversary of another "landmark" ICJ ruling: the one that demanded Israel tear down its apartheid wall in the West Bank and compensate Palestinians for the damage caused in its construction. International law has been against Israel's occupation for a long time. It doesn't matter.
Let's hope this ruling acts more as a boost to those who are already committed to ending the war and the occupation (and who understand that the courts can't do it for them), and less as a calming reassurance that international law and sacred institutions mean fuck all when the interests of empire are in question.
From the Guardian, July 2004:
'International court rules against Israel's wall'
'"This is an excellent decision," Mr Arafat said. "We thank the court in The Hague. This is a victory for the Palestinian people and for all the free peoples of the world."'
