    A fishing boat crowded with migrants traveling from Libya to Italy sank in Greek waters last week. While hundreds are still missing and feared dead, it has garnered far less attention and resources than the Titan rescue efforts for five people.

    so much emotions while watching this movie, scenes of of violence that triggers very bad memories and harsh realities of parenting that I never knew but in my own way suffered for their radical absence. It’s really awkward for me to think about my own education environment (born inside a toxic cult ) with elemtary teachers that were average, some were very bad, It was a very closed environment like only coercive communities can be, it’s a paradox that we were at the same time neglected but also sparred from our own parents only to be violented by strangers that were to be considered “the family”.

    There are still 30% of the 8k #reddit subs that pledged to go dark ongoing #RedditBlackout

    This might be the base that won’t move no matter what reddit does.

    And apparently, Reddit is willing to die for lies and “becoming an adult”

    Quand une démocratie dégénérative se retrouve à faire des Listes pour dissoudre un ensemble d’associations de faits en utilisant la loi #separatisme, conçue exprès pour démembrer la contestation social en utilisant le terrorisme pour criminaliser des mouvements sociaux, c’est la fin des haricots. Ça ne peut que partir en dérive sectaire politique. La France des Lumières se mue chaque jour un peu plus en France des ténèbres tout en organisant un théâtre sécuritaire et répressif pour manipuler “l’opinion publique”, elle même otage d’une concentration de média jamais autant monopolisée, histoire de faire le même coup qui s’est fait sur #NDDL depuis 50 ans : stigmatiser et jeter le discrédit sur des luttes dont la forme nous divise (ou pas) mais des luttes et des actions nécessaires face à la paralysie organisée et intentionelle qui caractérise les actions des gouvernements depuis… Au mois 28 ans #COP28 Continue reading →

    I want to be able cross-post my Bookmarks, using the title+link I use N8N but without RSS it’s a bit more pain to play this out :)
