"...A BRIEF TOUR OF THE BROAD HORIZON: WORLD-WIDE HYPER-CRISIS
I intend this essay to be...a pointer to how it could fit together into not only a renewal of Judaism but a transformation of it — of us. That...could meet our own needs and the needs of a multi-level, worldwide crisis.
In some countries, the crisis of globalization has so tormented parts of the people who feel excluded from it that they have turned to hyper-nationalism.
...The long-powerful communities — white, Christian, and male — are also entitled to a place and shared power in an expanded democracy. They are not entitled to exclude the newly visible communities, as some politicians have trumpeted with a silver trumpet often made of cash and contempt, not a sacred shofar.
The result of all this: Two world-wide crises: the Democracy Crisis and the Climate/ Extinction Crisis..."
Je lis "Paresse pour tous" de Hadrien Klent. C'est un livre bien relaxant que j'ai choisi pour changer d'humeur et je ne m'attendais pas du tout à ça. Le #fediverse fait parti de la science fiction politique de cour terme. Bien évident, là où je l'ai lu. 😁
Ich finde es immer wieder bemerkenswert, wenn ein Fedi-Projekt, das keine nennenswerte Weiterentwicklung erfährt, noch immer auf wenigstens 97 Server mindestens 724.627 Accounts führt.
"The Conference of European #Rabbis explained that Jewish communities in Europe were raising their level of preparedness given the history of #Iranian proxies attacking #Jewish targets around the world.
"We are closely monitoring the Iranian attack on #Israel and its implications for the security of #Jews in the #diaspora," said conference president Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt. 'We are in contact with all the leaders of the Jewish communities and security officials across the continent. I call on all Jews across Europe to remain vigilant in community institutions and to act responsibly in the public sphere."
The diversity of network and UX types across the fediverse/social web that my little Friendica server sees is astounding. This is just Diaspora and ActivityPub federated content since Bluesky is integrated through a client API not AT. #fediverse#SocialWeb#ActivityPub#diaspora#Bluesky#friendica
#Introduction: Hello, I am #new here! I was on #Diaspora for quite a few years but it was a very small community. Mastodon seems larger and more dynamic.
I'm mainly here to chat about #RPG games. I have been playing #DnD since the #1980s, starting with Moldvay #Basic and Keep on the Borderlands. These days I am mostly playing #DCC, but also enjoy Call of #Cthulhu, Traveller and #OSR games.
Besides #RPGs, I like British comics, especially #2000AD and its spin-offs. And #cycling.
Une #instance ou un #pod#Friendica à me recommander pour ouvrir une page d'info #antifasciste ?
Ou un autre réseau tout aussi ouvert ?
(Friendica fédère avec #Diaspora*, c'est ce qui me botte)
Sadly, people constantly measuring our (and each other's) Chineseness is also not new. Hundreds of years ago, Straits Chinese people were asked to define how Chinese they were: did they speak any Chinese languages? Were they the right ones? Did they dress Chinese? Did they perform rites for their dead parents?
The deeper story is, diaspora Chinese have tended to be southerners far from centers of Chinese power; many of us are descendents of anti-imperialist rebels, too (Boxer rebellion)
wang gungwu: born in surabaya to parents from china, lived in ipoh, became a federal malaya citizen, was a japanese subject, british subject, was a chinese subject, lived in singapore, lived in australia
has written extensively on what it means to be overseas chinese. unlike him, i only have to worry about my own experience; he had multiple shifting colonial and cultural identities throughout his life
