Looks badass. I love how she seems to have decorated the wheel spokes with foliage.

BRICS is a trading bloc not a military alliance.

Also, BRICS is rumored to be starting its own currency and we have already seen stuff like Sri Lanka using rupees to deal with its economic crisis. That’s going to be very attractive to some countries hence the clamour to join.

They are trying a genocide, looking like the villain while doing it kind of comes with the territory.

I have some kind of a Samsung but it doesn’t have that button.

At least, I don’t think it does.

Nice. I need to get a better phone.

Probably Twitter.

I think you’re right - women are also socialized to seek out social/interpersonal connections more than men; this is a big factor in why the suicide rate for elderly men tends to be significantly higher than for elderly women.

This doesn’t explain the 60 year olds but with the elderly (70+) women in my life, the vulnerability to misinformation is also an artifact of their comparatively poor levels of education. They were schooled with the expectation that they would be SAHMs.

@Lupo how do you get such long screenshots?

They’re basically fancy ways of saying “non white”.

There’s a use case for making that distinction but it’s a lot narrower than expecting people to self-identify in those terms.

Which, within that use case (e.g talking about wide and systemic oppression by white-led cultures) I guess that could be like the argument some people from certain countries have made that “Third World” is useful term because it does retain the history of its useage, whereas when it’s exchanged for terms like LDCs>Global South>LICs>etc that sort of obscures the historical material conditions and relational aspects which inform the present. Or something.

Thanks, those were both really good articles!

Seems “BAME” is being rejected mostly for qualities it shares with the term “PoC”.

* She. It was the previous one, not the one that has actually laid the charges.

Pretty sure the UK term was BAME, but US culture is pretty pervasive.

If you read the articles on this, the timeline makes sense. No one has to be “psychic”.

• In 2015 Palestine applied to join the ICC.

• Mossad’s harassment of the ICC’s chief prosecutor seems to have begun straight after that.

• Israel was already breaching international law with the settlements and flouting of the Geneva Conventions, and had been accused of war crimes in e.g. 2014.

If an entity is repeatedly accused of committing crimes it’s not really some crazy conspiracy if prosecutors start taking an interest in their activities. And the more they escalate their criminal activity the more likely it is that an investigation and eventual warrant will follow.

Worth noting that’s Hexbear not Lemmy as a whole. Hexbear has a unique culture.

To answer the question, the way you attract openly cis women is create spaces where they are definitely not bullied, trolled, and stalked. The fediverse is young and has relatively few mod tools.

There are plenty of cis women on mastodon as far as I can see.

This. Lemmy.world is probably the most vanilla. I suspect there are probably more cis women on instances like Beehaw as well.

Let us know what you go with!

I feel the same way. He’s not my friend and he’s not a cute kid or something. He’s a genocidal war criminal.

Rights and sympathy are two very different things.

Seeing people you have no sympathy with as somehow not having human rights is exactly how we get to genocide.

Noooo not the alpacas!! They deserve better.

For real tho I’m not looking forward to pandemic 2.0.

That would be a really positive outcome, their commandments are pretty good.
