    Exactly, and link-pasting is exactly what I've done ever since I got on #Mastodon

    #QuotePosting was an enormous #MoralPanic about four years ago because #Twitter had it and #Mastodon didn't and all the big techy-bro rags convinced #Gargron that he was discouraging new migrants from Twitter because Mastodon didn't have #QuotePosts

    Took 'em about three years to do it, and everyone pretty much ignored quote posts when they were finally implemented, a lot because people could opt-out if they wanted and no one took them seriously

    IMO, YMMV...

  2. „Es geht daher nicht um verminderte Intelligenz. Plausibler ist, dass sie sich umsortiert. Wir werden nicht unfähiger, sondern anders fähig. Nicht alles daran ist gut, nicht alles daran ist schlecht. Aber es ist ein Wandel, der eher an die Einführung der Schrift erinnert als an den Verlust eines Sinnes. Das Smartphone ist, bei aller moralischen Überladung, bloß ein neues Werkzeug. Und Werkzeuge verlagern Kompetenzen. Die entscheidende Frage lautet deshalb auch nicht, ob ausgelagerte Fähigkeiten verschwinden, sondern, welche neuen Formen von Können durch die Auslagerung möglich werden. Schon Platon zeigt das paradoxe Grundmuster: Wer schreibt, entlastet das Gedächtnis und gewinnt eine neue Form der Ordnung, Distanz und Abstraktion.“

  3. I bought some frozen sticky rice wraps from Fairway Market; they're made in Vancouver. Made a quick vid about how I'm unapologetic about eating & using #MSG & how fears of it was based on #AntiAsian #AntiChinese #racism & not solid #FoodScience.

    "If the science doesn’t support MSG as a dietary villain, why did so many people come to loathe and fear it? The answer lies not in biology, but in bias. The very name “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome” points to the misconception’s insidious core: it singled out Chinese cuisine (and by extension, Chinese people) as suspect. This framing tapped into old Western prejudices portraying Asian food as unhygienic, exotic, or untrustworthy. As Korean-American chef David Chang observes, avoidance of MSG became “a cultural construct” – essentially a socially accepted excuse to distrust foreign cooking under the guise of health concerns. In plainer terms, it was ignorance and xenophobia masquerading as wellness"

    De buen humor un viernes, quien lo iba a decir xD

    Estoy con un subidón fuerte con Nothing But Thieves; son totalmente mi mierda y me encanta encontrarme con música que ya tengo oida en mejor calidad que con la que me la encontré y notar matices que antes no. Es como ver más colores :D

  5. First Worldism—“the loss of the prerogative, only and always, to be the one who transgresses the sovereign boundaries of other states, but never to be in the position of having one’s own boundaries transgressed.”
    —Judith Butler, J. (2009). ‘Violence, mourning, politics’, in Harding, J. and Pribram, D. eds., Emotions: A Cultural Studies Reader. London: Routledge, pp. 387–402.

  6. 'The Labour administration […] intends to flatten social, political – and therefore class – conflict, and reassert the state as the sole “legitimate” agent of politics in Britain.'

    'One could reasonably suggest that the particular vitriol reserved for Muslims by the Labour leadership comes down to an as yet not-entirely-tameable internationalist consciousness among Muslim communities in Britain, and their proven willingness to exert this electorally.'

  7. Margot Déage: "A girl who does not belong to a boy or a man can fall into the category of whore at any time, whatever her clothes or sexual practices."

    Margot Déage: "Being in a position to say who’s a whore and who’s a good girl is a power in itself within the girls’ group, a power that is strongly mobilised by certain girls. The ones who can fall, in general, are the hardest on the matter."

  8. The social norm is constructed: not naturally occurring but created by the society in which it is found.
    Hence there are no actions which in themselves are inherently #abnormal or universally condemned by all societies at all times. Deviance is thus situational and contextual.

  9. Today is the anniversary of the victory of a militant struggle in France.
    White men of left and right coordinated to push young brown and black women back to their rightful place: subaltern.

    October 2003: Lycée Henri Wallon in Aubervilliers expelled two sisters for wearing headscarves. A deafening political and media controversy ensued. The polemic obtained a law enacted on 15 March 2004, that banned girls wearing headscarves from schools.

    Nathalie (in 2015): "I have children to feed and I’m looking for work, so I’m taking off my headscarf. I have no choice. No choice."
