Habt ihr Buchtipps für mich?
Ich möchte wieder mehr auf englisch lesen. Vor vielen Jahren habe ich eine Sprachausbildung gemacht, habe aber viel vergessen und war lange zu faul auf Englisch zu lesen. Ich merke aber, dass es gar nicht so schwer ist wie befürchtet.Ich suche Bücher, die es wert sind, in Originalsprache zu lesen. Genre egal. Für den Moment soll es nicht so ganz schwer zu lesen sein.

Je cherche des sources sur l'intersection du racisme et du validisme, ou alors des représentations de personnes racisées et handicapées, est-ce que vous auriez ça sur le coude ? J'accepte tous les formats (livre, podcast, zine, BD, émission de télé, documentaire, chaîne youtube...)
:boosts_ok: Merci d'avance de partager c'est important 🙏
⚠️ pas de personnages fictifs
⚠️ pas de sportifves paralympiques (je les aime beaucoup mais on en a par-dessus la tête de cette représentation dans le milieu antivalidiste)#handicap #racisme #antiracisme #validisme #antivalidisme #lecture #mastoread #mastoreco

Sobering weekend reading on #healthcare analysed by former UN Asst SecGen for Economic Devt. #mastoread
"UK NHS capitation sys successfully transformed Drs’ incentives. ISO prioritising patient payments, UK Drs r incentivised to ensure e well-being of those under their care. Prof Geoffrey Williams rejects “any [government] intervention .. in almost every area of economic activity, but not in health, bec health is where markets fail.. particularly insurance market failure"

Back when I was still a subscriber, The #Economist was weekend reading much looked forward to. My years-old guilt pangs from unsubscribing it have finally been resolved by this clear-eyed "review" of that hollowed #newspaper written by #SatyajitDas for #nakedcapitalism. Made my day.😊
Oh, how I still miss the Far Eastern Economic Review!🤭 #MustShare #mastoread #FEER
Happy #weekend fellow tuskers!!🌞🌄🗞Fear & Loathing on The Economist Subscription Trail

[A tyrant] kills not for justice’ sake but by his power [&] lust of his will.
Thus there can be no safety. Everything is uncertain…Nobody will be able firmly to state: This thing is such and such, when it depends upon the will of another, not to say upon his caprice.
Aquinas #MastoRead

No trap is harder to detect than that which lies concealed behind apparent loyalty or family connection. The open enemy, with care, can be avoided. But the threat from within the walls, the hidden threat from the domestic hearth, is upon us and overpowers us before we see it coming and take its measure.
Cicero
(Verrine Orations 2.1.13)

But the wise man, they say, will undertake just wars. As though just wars will not cause him all the more grief, if he is mindful of his own humanity!

Consider this line from a pagan comedy — it is a commonplace which is grasped instinctively:
Married a wife. That was a curse.
Then came the kids. They made it worse.
(The Brothers 5.4.13)

According to the logic of conspiracism, any widely accepted belief must of necessity be false, because it is tainted by association with the forces that shape the “official” version of reality, the forces attempting to deceive us. Therefore, rejected knowledge is accorded particular validity, its rejection by the guardians of cultural orthodoxy signals its proximity to the truth.

Reading "Holy Fire" by Bruce Sterling. It's a sci-fi #biopunk novel about the future where all power is in hands of gerontocrats. Actually, the last is not too fantastic...
