@daniel@social.telemetrydeck.comPeople who abuse their partners or others emotionally, sexually or physically should be brought to justice. Especially if they’re using their privilege to do so. Especially if they are in positions of power.
We need to shame these abuses of power and build and strengthen networks of support and trust, especially in our privileged circles as is our responsibility. We need to believe and support victims and people at risk. And we need to ensure that offenders face meaningful consequences…
@hex@kolektiva.socialI've mentioned it before, and I'm sure I will again, but, as much as there's a reason why I reject Christianity, there were also a lot of good things. Churches have governing bodies (with varying degrees of democratic representation) that guide the ministry (preaching and actions) as well as managing logistics (building maintenance, accounting, etc). This provides opportunities for self-governed collective action.
Quakers are the most radical in terms of this, and are basically anarchists. Quaker circles often meet at people's houses and can be as small as 3 people. There is often no leadership. A Quaker service could easily just be everyone sitting in a circle and someone talking at one point.
I grew up in a Presbyterian church, and one of my first jobs (at 11 or 12) was landscaping there. Within the church there were a lot of different trades, which meant that you could volunteer time and learn basically any kind of maintenance. Basically everything that needed to be done was done in-house. This also meant that if you needed a plumber, an electrician, etc, that you could pick one from within the church.
I remember painting the church, learning how to paint, with a bunch of other members of the congregation at a work party. I also remember being volunteered for child care during choir. There were a few rooms around that were used for different things, such as music practice. But these rooms could be made available for any type of community activity. This can actually include community organizing. In fact, Seattle GDC was offered an occasional space for organizing in a church (we didn't take it, but appreciated the offer), and that same church hosted a lot of other community events. I actually went to a queer relationships skills class once hosted in a church, which was great.
What I'm saying is that churches often act as a kind of parallel society up-to-and-including acting as dual power structures....

@cdarwin@c.imIn New York social circles, he was known as the “Jewish James Bond”:
a refugee from Nazi Germany whose gratitude to his American hosts was such that he volunteered to join the US army and became the CIA’s first station chief in Berlin as a mere twentysomething,
filing early warnings about Soviet activity that have been credited with ringing in the cold war.

@timfoster@mastodon.socialI went out to the garage this evening, turned on the lights, and saw a bat flying in circles around the Land Rover.
This of course is now going to be in my origin story, of a very slow, noisy, super-hero who fights crime using a mixture of hope, iron oxide and the ability to easily find a good supply of after-market parts.
(The bat was ok. I turned off the lights, opened the roller door, and he sped off, no doubt in search of a lights-behind-the-grill Series 1)

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioA particular dissonance in my musical life is the aggressive non-interest of the world in my music in competitive circles (commerce, grants, whatever) and the warm, passionate enthusiasm it receives when I share it with people in person.
What’s worked for me: creating contexts of joy and mutual support where I can share with people — not just share generically in general, but sharing with specific actual people where there is a human relationship underlying the sharing — and then sharing.

@kexpmusicbot@mastodonapp.uk @cdarwin@c.imIf 'bitch' could signal service at the tea table, it also came to convey swagger on the bandstand.
In jazz circles in the 20th century, the label functioned as a genuine compliment.
A musician who was truly ‘hot’, a master of their instrument, might be described as a bitch.
Miles Davis used the word this way, both for himself and for players he admired, most famously in the title of his album Bitches Brew (1970).
The usage surfaces repeatedly in memoirs and mus…

@BBC6MusicBot@mastodonapp.uk @inthehands@hachyderm.ioWhat’s everybody’s read on the attempt at a second general strike this Friday?
From where I sit, it feels much more like a social media action than the on the 23rd; I don’t see the unions or same kind of organizing infrastructure behind it.
On the other hand, apparently it •is• getting a lot of social media traction in some circles? “All I see posts about,” said one student.
What’s the read from where you sit? Does this one have legs? Or is it a day to keep our powder dry?
