"If you knock on the door. In many people's eyes, wearing the burka is against British values" Zia Yousuf 11.06.2025

Where is this book of 'British Values' that I may consult?

The 37,000 workers in Australia employed below their level of skills
By Bronwyn Herbert

New research shows almost half of refugees previously working as managers and professionals are, 10 years later, still experiencing what's known as an "occupational downgrade".

Lost
Hamid Shami

To quote my distant friend Imran MacLeod,
‘A man with no culture has no identity.’

The last I heard of him was, he was off
To the Himalayas.

He had a very confused childhood.

Father was Scottish,
Mother Pakistani.

They’d always be arguing over many things
Concerning him.

One was religion.

Father wanted him brought up
A Catholic; mother wanted a Muslim.

Was the only boy on our street who went
To mosque on Fridays and chapel on Sundays.

But in the mountains

God’s sure to find him.

Filipino Heritage 2of2

Personally, I love cooking nutritious regional dishes (more info in comments) like "pinakbet" for my family. I don't often post about it because my culinary world is so wonderfully diverse, influenced by friends, family, and even past partners.

Being mixed-race myself (Portuguese, Spanish, Italian) has also shaped my understanding of #multiculturalism, something I've experienced firsthand as a #ThirdCultureKid #TCK i.e. someone raised in a culture different from their parents' or their country of nationality.

This month, let's learn more about the diverse heritage, traditions, and achievements of Filipino Canadians. Try a new dish, listen to the music, connect with friends!

Let's use this month to honour the past, celebrate the present, and build an even more welcoming future together! What are your favourite things about Filipino culture? Share below! 👇

One thing that I find iffy about mainstream conceptions of #multiculturalism is how they offer an easy pass to anything that can be called #religion. Within any community there are nay-sayers; they are just as legitimate in their nay-saying as are believers in their affirmations of belief. In my view, even more so. When I say that #monotheism is a vile aberration, that is not disrespect to any "culture'.

I heart my local fruit and veg shops. There's an Italian/Macedonian one, and an Afghan one, and a few a Vietnamese ones, and a couple I don't know the origin story of.

This week my cooking is leaning Mediterranean, and I got rapa, fennel, pomegranates, and fresh borlotti beans, among the usual bits and bobs.

For those from elsewhere, or who don't shop, you can very rarely find these things at a supermarket in Australia.

WARSAW INDEPENDENT BOOKFAIR 2025

„Im więcej wiesz, tym lepiej działasz”

Zapraszamy na IX edycję Warsaw Independent Bookfair, który odbędzie się w Warszawie w terminie 6-7.09.2025

Warsaw Independent Bookfair 2025 to przestrzeń wolnej myśli i kultury, będąco narzędziem sprzeciwu wobec cichej cenzury, monopolizacji i kapitalistycznych ograniczeń rynku książki. Działamy, aby wspierać twórców i twórczynie, którzy odrzucają komercyjne kompromisy, bronią autonomii swoich przekazów i budują alternatywne modele dystrybucji oraz współpracy. Wydarzenie jest otwarte dla wszystkich osób, które wierzą w wartość samoorganizacji, oddolnej solidarności i anarchistycznych idei jako siły zmieniającej świat. W zeszłych latach wiele dyskutowaliśmy o tych pojawiających się problemach. Widzimy że ich rozwiązanie wymaga globalnej świadomości, solidarności między twórcami i czytelnikami, oraz wsparcia dla niezależnych inicjatyw kulturowych. Tak jak przez ostatnie lata, tak i teraz chcemy nie tylko pogłębić nasze dyskusje i krytyki, ale także wypracować rozwiązania. Zapraszamy was do aktywnego uczestnictwa w wydarzeniu.

Deklamujcie manifesty!
Spotykajcie się i dyskutujcie!
Prezentujcie nowe rozwiązania!
Bądźcie kreatywni i kreatywne!
Jesteśmy otwarci na Wasze propozycje!

Wydarzeniu będą towarzyszyć spotkania (także w formie online), w trakcie których będą poruszane tematy obecnie zajmujące wydawnictwa niezależne oraz inicjatywy oddolne, które wpisują się w ideę dziewiątego Niezależnego Kiermaszu Książek. Jest on otwarty na przekaz równościowy obejmujący głos osób wykluczanych. Jest przestrzenią do wspólnego dzielenia się naszymi doświadczeniami, uczenia się od siebie nawzajem, dyskutowania z szacunkiem nad alternatywami oraz spojrzenia krytycznie na współczesną rzeczywistość.

W poprzednim w kiermaszu brały udział wydawnictwa, kolektywy i osoby reprezentujące różne środowiska zarówno z Polski jak i zagranicy. Wydarzenie przyciągnęło też sporo miłośniczek i miłośników książek i liczymy na to, że w tym roku będzie podobnie.

Naszym wyróżnikiem jest też to, że nie pobieramy opłaty za stoisko. Jeśli bardzo chcesz przyjechać a jedyną przeszkodą są dla Ciebie finanse, napisz do nas – spróbujemy coś razem wymyślić. Kiermasz jest bezpłatny dla osób odwiedzających.

Ponieważ mamy ograniczoną liczbę stanowisk, prosimy o wcześniejsze zgłoszenie. Na zgłoszenia czekamy do 1 czerwca 2025 r. pod adresem warsawbookfair[at]riseup.net. Na ten sam adres mailowy można przysyłać wszelkie propozycje współpracy, pytania i uwagi odnośnie wydarzenia.

Zapraszamy!

WARSAW INDEPENDENT BOOKFAIR 2025

‘The more you know, the better you act’.

We would like to invite you to the 9th edition of Warsaw Independent Bookfair, which will take place in Warsaw on 6-7.09.2025

Warsaw Independent Bookfair 2025 is a space for free thought and culture, a tool for opposing the silent censorship, monopolisation and capitalist restrictions of the book market. We act to support authors and creators who reject commercial compromises, defend the autonomy of their messages and build alternative models of distribution and collaboration. The event is open to all people who believe in the value of self-organisation, grassroots solidarity and anarchist ideas as a world-changing force. In the past years we have discussed a lot about these emerging issues. We recognise that their solution requires global awareness, solidarity between creators and readers, and support for independent cultural initiatives. As we have done in recent years, we want not only to deepen our discussions and critiques, but also to develop solutions. We invite you to actively participate in the event.

Declare manifestos!
Meet and discuss!
Present new solutions!
Be creative and imaginative!
We are open to your suggestions!

The event will be accompanied by meetings (also online) to discuss topics currently preoccupying independent publishers and grassroots initiatives that fit in with the idea of the ninth Independent Bookfair. It is open to an equality message that includes the voice of the excluded. It is a space to share our experiences together, learn from each other, respectfully discuss alternatives and take a critical look at contemporary reality.

The previous fair was attended by publishers, collectives and individuals representing a variety of backgrounds from both Poland and abroad. The event also attracted quite a few book lovers and we hope that this year will be similar.

Our distinctive feature is also that we do not charge for a stand. If you really want to come and the only obstacle for you is finances, write to us – we will try to work something out together. The fair is free for visitors.

As we have a limited number of stands, we ask you to register in advance. We are waiting for applications until 1 June 2025 at warsawbookfair@riseup.net. You can send any collaboration proposals, questions and comments about the event to the same email address.

We look forward to hearing from you!

He looked at me and he said "Kosher food.... What exactly are you looking for?"

me: "Kosher food?"

him: "Exactly What is Kosher food."

me: (a little stunned and unsure how to answer) "Food for Jews?"

him: Well we go these crackers in.... (pointing to a display of matzoh I hadn't seen). Is there anything you're looking for specifically?

me: Well that's good (I hadn't seen the matzoh). What about gefilte fish, or borcht, or bamba, or....?

him: *looks blankly* I'm sorry I'm not very.... I don't have a very... broad... experience with....

me: (really uncomfortable at this point) "It's okay. It's okay really. It's fine" and I walked away (out of the store).

I believe the guy when he says he doesn't know what kosher food is, but he was head (?) of grocery, and even though he didn't do anything wrong, it was a lesson in how important understanding can be in making someone feel welcome/unwelcome.
