„For hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, the #livingconditions remain extremely difficult, amid constant fear, #insecurity, often repeated #displacement, and a profound uncertainty about what the future holds. While the hostilities may have decreased, people in Gaza are yet to see any meaningful improvements in their daily lives.“

A quotation from Edward R. Murrow
The politician in my country seeks votes, affection and respect, in that order. This is not unique or surprising. […] The politician of necessity leads an isolated life, so far as his colleagues are concerned, because most of them are his rivals. Many of them are men of undoubted charm, ability and incredible energy, and yet too often they lack purpose or appetite for anything beyond their own careers. With few notable exceptions, they are simply men who want to be loved.
Edward R. Murrow (1908-1965) American journalist
Speech (1959-10-19), “Television and Politics,” British Association Granada Lectures, London GuildhallMore about this quote: wist.info/murrow-edward-r/5470…

There was a stag, once, who could always defeat a stallion
And drive him out of their pasture — until, tired of losing,
The horse begged help of man, and got a bridle in return.
He beat the stag, all right, and he laughed — but then the rider
Stayed on his back, and the bit stayed in his mouth.
Give up your freedom, more worried about poverty than something
Greater than any sum of gold, and become a slave and stay
A slave forever, unable to live on only enough.
[Cervus equum pugna melior communibus herbis
pellebat, donec minor in certamine longo
imploravit opes hominis frenumque recepit;
sed postquam victor violins discessit ab hoste,
non equitem dorso, non frenum depulit ore.
Sic qui pauperiem veritus potiore metallis
libertate caret, dominum vehet improbus atque
serviet aeternum, quia parvo nesciet uti.]Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 10 “To Aristius Fuscus,” l. 34ff (1.10.34-41) (20 BC) [tr. Raffel (1983)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/horace/80424/

An established artist who has been shown at the Tate and the Moma, whom I have known for 75% of my life and adore, said my art was "primitive, but charming in an outsider art sort of way".... and I honestly don't know what to do with that.
I mean, the primitive part is true, I've really only been painting for a couple of years, and I have zero art training outside of wandering the world's museums.
I can't speak to charming.
I know, absolutely know, it was meant as a compliment, and not as a side swipe. I know this person really well, and if they wanted to insult, they are well armed. He was trying to convince me to enter some art shows.
But still, it kinda stings. 🤷🏽♀️ I may be too sensitive to be a painter. ;)

"...Strip away the press-conference warmth and the mechanism is cold and simple. You cannot bar under-16s from a website without checking the age of everyone who visits it. And you cannot check everyone’s age without making them prove, in some fashion, who they are. “Child safety” is the cheese in the mousetrap. The trap is the verification layer that closes behind every adult who reaches for it. ...The threat of fines worth a tenth of global revenue does not encourage platforms to verify carefully. It encourages them to verify everyone, and to keep the receipts. The intention may well be narrow. The outcome, every time, is universal. We are not required to impute bad faith. We need only read the meter."

This is a bit rich, and frankly completely stupid. Some wackjob dishonestly using #Biology to deny what biology already proves. #Gender is not a #BinaryLabel, #Sex is not #BiologicallyBinary. The science has been in for centuries. What these birdbrain people are really about (with apologies to all birds for this misrepresentation) is pure, unadulterated #bigotry laced with heavy doses of #insecurity emerging from #UnfoundedFears. There is of course some pity to be served to those individuals who have been #Brainwashed by the #Patriarchy and the #ChristoFascists currently making noises in our society disproportionate to their numbers.
FFS, people… wake up to yourselves! This member’s bill will never get up or even be discussed in any Parliamentary forum. Dustbin and fire it its only fate leaving behiind an ugly stain on the Member, their party and their electorate.
And for goodness sake electorates, stop voting for these #Fascist and #Libertarian candidates, it does your reputation no good at all, nor does it foster an inclusive and democratic society.

CW: Moody self-doubt-filled rambling about mastodon
I don't think I'm going to keep posting on Mastodon. Maybe I just haven't made enough of an effort and I'm giving up too easily but to be honest, I just don't feel like I have strong enough of a personality right now to ever do what I hoped to come here to: make friends and cheer people up.
When I posted here, replied, liked, interacted here, I didn't feel like I was connecting with someone, I felt like I was trying to infiltrate a community I have no place in. Everyone's already made their friends, everyone's already got their tight-knit groups, and I don't have anything I can offer that would make anyone care in the slightest; I might as well just upkeep my regular blog, since the only extra Mastodon seems to be giving me is insecurity by seeing everyone else just... Being someone worth being.
This note is just to sate anyone's curiosity on why I'm not posting here, if that ever happens.

A series of studies, covering five countries and several thousand people, found a link between attachment anxiety and same-sex status-seeking. Intrasexual competition manifested through aggression and status displays rather than pursuit of prestige.

Sitting here thinking about all the little telltale signs that you see in someone you care about when somebody in their life way back when, told them that they had no value and they believed them. 😔
That's a hard rock to carry around for the rest of your life.

Hey people of the fedi with insecure attachment patterns:
Have any of you found a good way (that works for you) to deal with the fear of falling in love with someone while knowing that a friendship with that person would be really good for you?I'm willing to try anything that sounds like it could work for me.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
Often have I marvelled how each one of us loves himself above all men, yet sets less store by his own opinion of himself than by that of everyone else.
[Πολλάκις ἐθαύμασα πῶς ἑαυτὸν μὲν ἕκαστος μᾶλλον πάντων φιλεῖ, τὴν δὲ ἑαυτοῦ περὶ αὑτοῦ ὑπόληψιν ἐν ἐλάττονι λόγῳ τίθεται ἢ τὴν τῶν ἄλλων.]Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 12, ch. 4 (12.4) (AD 161-180) [tr. Haines (Loeb) (1916)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/marcus-aureleus/4378…

A quotation from Norman F. Dixon
The values communicated by status-insecure parents are such that their children learn to put personal success and the acquisition of power above all else. They are taught to judge people for their usefulness rather than their likableness. Their friends, and even future marriage partners, are selected and used in the service of personal advancement; love and affection take second place to knowing the right people. They are taught to eschew weaknesses and passivity, to respect authority, and to despise those who have not made the socio-economic grade. Success is equated with social esteem and material advantage, rather than with more spiritual values.
Norman F. Dixon (1922-2013) British cognitive psychologist, author, military engineer
On the Psychology of Military Incompetence, Part 2, ch. 22 “Authoritarianism” (1976)More about this quote: wist.info/dixon-norman/82301/

Americans in their 40s and 50s are more depressed and forgetful, and weaker, than those of previous generations, and most of their peers in Europe. Education is no longer protective. Stress and financial insecurity are thought to be responsible.

Cars are Metall shells for humans.
They are there to protect the self perception.
To keep going in a world where you never decide where you really stand
that's why people post clips when they are sitting in their cars. they feel safe to say something.
how miserable.
