Musk’s quality of thinking rests in medieval era, when masculinity and power closely tied.

Palestine, Kashmir, Tibet, Kurd, and many more.
The power-hungry and blood-thirsty monsters are killing some of the unique, indigenous, and important cultures of the world.

My heart goes to the innocent civilians (esp. the disadvantaged women and children) of Palestine.

@beastoftraal: Shivaji Rao Gaikwd had subtly referred to his Sanatani Hindu identity several times, even while receiving an outpouring of respect from Dravidians.

When the deliberate attempts to sideline Dravidian identity take place under the Savarna Hindu regime, Shivaji’s calculated silence about those and these kinds of actions are deplorable.

Perhaps, Dravidians would decide now who they should respect and endorse and who they should not!

Long days after taking the recipe from @MikeInTheGarden, I’ve got to prepare the “Chili Butternut Squash” dish. 😊

And it came out very well. Thank you, Mike!

Except for the garnish of mustard, curry leaves, and dry chili, I followed your method and ingredients.
Check out the pics. Thanks, Mike!

One of Big Journalism's saddest traits is choosing to be helpless in the face of challenges with ready solutions. Two examples:

1) Political coverage still obsesses on falsely balanced issues and horse races, and continues to normalize extremism, even when our democracy is at stake.

2) Journalists stay on Twitter, or X or whatever, even though the person controlling it uses the site to amplify extremists, including enemies of democracy (and journalism).

The (few) exceptions prove the rule.

I read that #Meta has launched #Threads and many don't understand why it's not fully usable via the web but only through a dedicated mobile app. Meta isn't interested in letting us talk but rather in collecting as much data as possible. Browsers have become (more) skilled at protecting us, while apps can have almost complete access to our mobile devices, gathering data that an average person couldn't even imagine. And our mobile devices have become the safe (or should I say, the exposed pantry?) of our lives. #privacy #datacollection #SocialNetworks

@beastoftraal: Without doing a thing to safeguard the fundamental rights of women and minorities for over nine years - what he had taken oath for, this sudden cry for “rescuing” Muslim women from patriarchal practices is all about widening polarization ahead of 2024.

#Introduction I guess?

Any #classicalMusicians out here on the fediverse? Would love to connect! Classical Twitter still seems mostly on Twitter.

I'm a Montréal-based amateur cellist & #composer. I also play flute, voice, and dabbling in guitar, recorder, melodica, and others. Lots of #Baroque and #RomanticMusic, trying to discover more #NewMusic.

I'm always looking for more gender-marginalised, #queer and #BIPOC representation in classical music!

Lili Boulanger is <3

When reports appeared on ’s usage of Facebook users’ data to influence electorates, I lost respect for and .

The recent interventions of convinced me to detach from - in addition to its favoritism for radical groups and authoritarian regimes.

Neither of these lobbyists values “freedom of expression” or “free speech.”

They simply wanted to have hands own user data for business and benefits.
