#politics as a concept is never not dangerous. It didn't just start to be this year or the last. If it did to you, you might google "solidarity" and check your #privileges

#intersectionality #marginalization #marginalisation #EverythingIsPolitical

You can be both privileged and marginalized at the same time. That's because, you can be privileged in one aspect of your life and marginalized in another.

It's easy to have a "no politics here" policy when you are privileged. Everything is politics if you are marginalized

"Une personne âgée s’échappe pour retrouver son amoureux, un jeune homme est verbalisé pour s’être rendu à l’enterrement de sa grand-mère, un intervenant social dans un lieu de mise à l'abri : ils témoignent d’un impossible confinement."—France Culture [Série « COVID : ce qui nous est arrivé »]

Les #Pygmées d’#Afrique centrale : #marges, #marginalité, #marginalisation et #résilience
Réfléchir sur la situation des populations « pygmées » d’Afrique centrale, en examinant les représentations historiques et les #stéréotypes qui les entourent. Il s’agit d’une analyse critique des défis auxquels ces communautés sont confrontées, allant des violations de leurs droits fondamentaux à l’exploitation économique et à la marginalisation politique.

“Have we been radicalized? At any stage of your life, have you started to go down the rabbit hole?

Yes, to a certain extent, that's something that did happen to me. And I pulled back from it, and my mum were talking about Julian Assange and WikiLeaks and Wanted the World to Go on Fire. I've become quite hawkish now about those things.

At the time, I was really into that. I very nearly did go down that rabbit hole, but I saw it and came back from it.”

Can we go back to calling "the left" society please? If nothing more, it'll upset Steve Bannon.

I kinda understand their history a bit now.
Always wondered as a child till now why they were terribly poor surrounded by or at least within reach of very rich countries.

What are #straightwashing and #ciswashing? The worrying #trends #undermining #LGBTQ+ #progress.

In recent years #film #critics have introduced the term “straightwashing” to highlight the #marginalisation of the #LGBTQ+ #community in #Hollywood, #television, #literature and in #history.

I liked Mia Mulder’s vid on it. Institutionalisation should always be with fully informed, non-coerced consent, where remotely possible.
One simple test might be: let the staff stay in the incarceration facilities for a week. If they don’t want to, ask them why not? Would they want someone they love to stay there, and why or why not?

Many diagnoses are just checklists created and used by people who read a lot of books, wrote a few papers, and had other similar people vouch for their understanding of the fundamentals (as they understood them at the time).
While practical work and dedicated study are important and valuable, so is the lived experience and personal interpretation of the people directly affected.

Within the past few months, I had someone diagnose me with mixed personality disorder. What I expect they did not note was that this interaction was based on talking to me for 40 minutes after I’d had 4 hours of sleep, with no context from my partner or anyone else who knew me.
They did not look at the extensive notes I was asked to bring. Finally, the appointment started late because reception did not inform the clinician I’d arrived. First topic of conversation? Neither of us knew what the appointment was for.

I know the NHS has been defunded for decades, mental healthcare is deprioritised, and my many intersections of identity make it difficult to find any professional who wouldn’t need at least 3 full hours to get a baseline understanding of my experiences. Equally: that’s not my problem.

Urban Marginalisation in Kashmir: The Vulnerabilities of 'Watals' in Sheikh Colonies of Srinagar

Socio-economic challenges, limited access to basic amenities, and a sense of exclusion from mainstream society characterise the daily life experiences of inhabitants of Sheikh colonies. Lack of private space, congested houses, and unhygienic conditions underscore the pervasive nature of urban marginalisation within the colonies. A three-part series of essays by the Visual Storyboard team of the Centre for New Economics Studies (CNES), O.P. Jindal Global University, working in Kashmir for a manuscript project focusing on new subaltern voices of communities from the Valley.

A Modi Win Will Only Mean More Trouble for Indian Muslims

If the BJP is able to secure a huge majority in the parliament, Hindu majoritarianism will remain unchecked. The hostility towards the minorities could escalate even more, and opposition parties may bear the brunt of state agencies and crackdowns if they ask questions.

Banning transgender persons from begging is cruel and illegal
