RE: https://mastodon.social/@Toadlyturtle/115554755824379271

Can we stop seeing #MutualAid as #transactional please? #Reciprocal yes, transactional no. And we must allow that #reciprocity isn't always direct. Otherwise, are we not simply uplifting #capitalist paradigms of #hierarchical value?

I keep seeing trends wherein those in pain, grieving or ill get dropped.

I know that I haven't uplifted as much, while ill and grieving and in many ways never have enough, but my loved ones are in danger and they need uplifted. Please!!

[Thread] So, the book #LimitsToGrowth is back in the news after the projections were updated. I've been doing a lot of reading and thinking about this topic (the preface of the book 1177BC, The Year Civilization Collapsed being the impetus).

My conclusion is that only #Degrowth and implementation of a lot of #SolarPunkSunday ideas (repairing stuff, building community, rewilding) will help us adapt to the coming changes. That's why I started SPS -- to highlight events, ideas and to build connections.

Yes, I am known for "Doomposting," but like with most things, I try and find solutions as well. Yeah, all the #Fascist BS isn't helping -- in fact, it's a symptom of the desperation of the elites to hold onto their #Capitalistic, #Colonial, #hierarchical ways. And, well, we all know where that leads.

We may not be able to fix the climate or all the other things that are going wrong right away, but we can try to adapt, and make sure by doing so, we aren't making the problems worse for all the beings that live here on planet Earth.

I'll be posting some quotes in this thread -- some with commentary, some just by themselves. Do humans have all the answers? Not sure (I know I don't)... But sticking our collective heads in the sand is NOT an option!

This article @SabiLewSounds posted talks a lot about the origins #mentalhealth treatments

Things that remain centerstage today in the #marginalization of so many

There's a long history of #segregation and #uglylaws, on and on, to keep those who don't conform with expected norms from having an affect on lulled masses

#fascist #hierarchical #capitalist #elitism is present in systems that are not, nor ever were, built to help the #marginalized

They created the very disparity seen still today

Authors: @wesnerlab, @jimjunker, Vojsava Gjoni, Yuhlong Lio and yours truly.

Really excited this great work led by @wesnerlab is out there and I look forward to seeing what people think of it.

Probably very unpopular opinion, but:

#woke is great. It’s one of the best things to come out of #white society lately. Serious.

But. Expecting conservative people to get it is not being woke enough.

You cannot say you’re woke, if you’re not woke about what makes #consevatives tick.

There’s no way you can sell deconstruction of #hierarchical #narratives to people who intuit the world through those hierarchies.

Be woke, but be smart. Some people can’t get it, accepting that is no problem.

Dropping the last @Stata package of 2022! #treecluster.

This package allows users to plot #hierarchical data in both #Cartesian and #Polar #coordinates. Also features several customization options including line widths, smoothness, spacing etc.
