  1. CW: Being Individual = Community also + Ubuntu definition / mentality of community / togetherness to grow people...

    @johncarlosbaez @grimalkinUSA A different take on this perhaps, just as different perspective is that;

    We are all a apart of each other (biology, culture, reality, interactions, needs, sharing etc)... so while you can be yourself on your own there is a learning from others or ideal that you can choose much easier when you see it.

    This is why your circle(s) can make you (and break you) but keeping the values and examples ultimately can make you and work naturally with you rather than artificially / aesthetically...

    This is why I think it's all our responsibility as a part of one whole, to help others in various levels of directness / indirectness to be more human and more ourselves (with people who allow and care for it).

    ===================
    The Word Ubuntu
    ===================

    "Ubuntu" covers some of what I mean...

    #Ubuntu (an #isiXhosa / African word...) 'I am, because we are".

    It emphasizes the role of the community in caring for each other. The #Xhosa is a South #African nation, primarily found in the Eastern #Cape.

    Ubuntu (in# computing #community also)... used to describe the #linux #freeware / #freedom that the company distributes.

    Ubuntu is the primary reason why impoverished rural #communities (and individuals) can continue to #survive.

    La vita di Mokgadi Caster Semenya, mezzofondista e velocista nata in Sudafrica, è raccontata in "Qhawe", che in lingua #isiXhosa significa combattente/eroina.

    Di lei si è parlato tanto, dentro e fuori i tribunali.

    Questo testo celebra i suoi successi sportivi.

  5. How do you discuss geology when you speak a language where equivalent words don't exist yet? If you're geologist Sinelethu Hashibi you create new words! On the EGUblogs this week, Sinelethu tells EGU's Simon Clark all about the Chosi Ndabazomhlaba project and how she translated #geoscience for #isiXhosa. #scicomm

    "C" represents a bright, dentalized click that sounds like a disapproving tsk.

    "Q" is a clear, dark click, as if you're imitating the "tock" sound that a clock makes.

    "X" is sort of in between, with the tongue flat against the teeth. It's a little narrower and wetter to me. I don't know how else to describe it.
