  1. Hell, this ABC article reads worse than a press release from Albanese's office.

    Sir Albanese the brave kills the wicked dragon and rescues the fair white maiden.

    Nauseating.

  2. careful self reflection is a sign of strength

    But it would be uncouth for me to pretend that there isn’t some self-interest involved. Being in charge of a social media project is, turns out, quite the stressful endeavour, and I don’t have the right personality for it. I think I need not elaborate that the passion so many feel for social media does not always manifest in healthy ways. You are to be compared with tech billionaires, with their immense wealth and layered support systems, but with none of the money or resources. It manifests in what people expect of you, and how people talk about you. I remember somebody jokingly suggesting that I challenge Elon Musk to a fight (this was during his and Mark Zuckerberg’s martial arts feud), and quietly thinking to myself, I am literally not paid enough for that. I remember also, some Spanish newspaper article that for some reason, concluded that I don’t dress as fashionably as Jeff Bezos, based on the extremely sparse number of pictures of myself I have shared on the web. Over an entire decade, these tiny things chip away at you slowly. Some things chip faster. I steer clear of showing vulnerability online, but there was a particularly bad interaction with a user last summer that made me realise that I need to take a step back and find a healthier relationship with the project, ultimately serving as the impetus to begin this restructuring process.

    My next chapter with Mastodon – Mastodon Blog

    Eugen Rochko is stepping down as the CEO of mastodon as it completes the transition to a nonprofit. I am sharing this snippet from the article announcing it.

    Eugen started mastodon as a self funded project and kept it going years before twitter imploded. This is the writing of a thoughtful, serious, reflective person who deserves to be praised. He didn’t end up the world’s richest billionaire.

    However, he sure made a dent in the universe. All the best during recovery and I look forward to mastodon attaining greater heights.

  7. It's a curiosity of #history that the life of #Siddhartha #Gautama, the historical #Buddha, found its way into #medieval #Christian #hagiography as #Barlaam and #Josaphat. The tale shows how #Buddhist themes such as #renunciation, #moral transformation, and spiritual #awakening, were reframed across languages and faiths.

  14. I am driven by my emotions.

    "Our opinions generally have emotional rather than intellectual roots, and indeed rationality largely functions as a post hoc justification. Our political opinions, ultimately, are what we feel about the world, not what we think about it. And in turn, our opinions about particular events have a lot to do with how we feel about the world in general. It’s not an exaggeration to say that most people’s views about the kind of things that happen today are extensions of concerns of their own ego. And consequently, invitations to change their minds because new facts emerge, or because old ideas are discredited by new evidence, are in fact a threat to the strength and even survival of that ego."

    "But few people, especially those who have received a decent education, want to acknowledge that their views are based on emotion and not reason. They therefore try to argue".

    The unrelenting savagery of of christian #hagiography is pretty darn grim.

  25. New instance, new #introduction.

    I'm a historian, tutor, editor, beginning gardener & aspiring self-hoster. My research focuses on early medieval #hagiography & its function in the pastoral care of the laity, so I think a lot about the intersection of ideology, rhetoric, & praxis.

    I enjoy travel & (smartphone) photography, museums, big cities but also nature. I hope to use this account to share my travels and to promote ancient & medieval studies on the fediverse. @medievodons @histodons

    Reagan, like Netanyahu, fought his war without a strategy or plan for what followed. We wound up with the oligarchs and Putin, just as Israel in turn nurtured Hamas.

    Thatcher hated only her own nation’s ‘have not’ citizens more than the Soviet Union, and she fought them far harder.
