[P] How do I explain this to allistics? If an autistic person is placed in a room with humans of varuous cases of ethnicity, trans, enby, otherkin, and so on? The autistica of the room would be the only ones not socially picking out some to bus. Yes, this is why autistic people can suck at Among Us. I've seen some really funny videos about that. And the thing is? This fairness doesn't actually have end-point, because why would it?

[P] A huge step in the right direction:
But...
"[...] a broader moral concern, extending fairness beyond their tribes."
There. Are. No. Tribes. Tribalism, the familiarity fetish scale, and the sociopathy room aren't typically autistic traits. Autistics typically don't, for example, separate whites and beowns into us<—>them tribes. Hence the observed more equal moral fairness.

One of my public school students in 1977 at his Little League game. I hope some day gay people are more accepted as teachers. Sadly, it has not improved during my lifetime. #civilrights #equalrights #gayrights #endbigotry #publicschool #publicschools #publicschoolteacher #publicschoolteachers #1970s #littleleague #littleleagues #baseball #baseballplayer #baseballplayers #softball #softballplayer #softballplayers #tribe #tribes #monkeytribe #monkeytribes #monkeytribalism #tribalism

#Aerial #lidarmapping allows #archaeologists to efficiently #map large areas with archaeologically relevant structures. However, the #article cited in the appendix #critically examines the fact that this increasingly occurs over the heads of #indigenous #tribes, whose way of life and traditional #knowledge are at risk of being #overlooked and #ignored. This raises not only #ethical questions.

Accidental ontologist. 🧐 I am madly working on a couple of new ontology books. As a follow-up to A Language Insufficiency Hypothesis, I noticed that the challenge is deeper than language; it's ontological. In my first book on the topic, I focus on the societal problems. In the next, I'll focus on a broader object reality.

The thing is that growth of #liberal #democracy implies the hitherto #oppressed (e.g. #women, #poor, #marginalized, etc.) became better off and the ones at the top (i.e. #men from dominant #tribes) started really hating that. They subverted democracy to gain more #money (low #taxes) and #power to turn back time (i.e. #MAGA) They use both money and power to increase #tribalism which weakens #liberal #democracy that in turn weakens #economic #growth - get it?

#WordWeavers 3. What's the best thing about the world of your story?
Free #housing #education #healthcare #UniversalBasicIncome #transit #energy #water #sanitation
Freedom from #patriarchy #religion #tribes etc.
Freedom to #create and interact with whoever one wants too as long as it is consensual
The big Q for the residents of this world is what to with all this? Whether to revert to the old or building something new?
It is in the name of the #book - "A New Faith" 😀

#Hydropower Developer No-Show Leaves #Navajos with More Questions than Answers
Chapter officials table hydropower resolution, ask for more community info sessions as FERC seeks to end a policy blocking permits on Tribal land absent Tribal support
by #HerbYazzie, Coal-Lease Area Resident; #AdrianHerder, #TóNizhóníÁní; #TaylorMcKinnon, #CenterForBiologicalDiversity
via #CensoredNews, Nov. 21, 2025Excerpts: #KayentaAZ— "On a cloudy, rainy Wednesday afternoon, the Kayenta Chapter held its monthly meeting where a resolution by #NatureAndPeopleFirst was first on the agenda. Impacted community members from the coal-lease area on Black Mesa (#DziłYíjiin) filled the chapter house to voice concern about the resolution. But before discussions could begin, Chapter officials tabled the resolution because the developers didn’t show up.
"Nature and People First (#NPF) are developers who are pushing #PumpedStorageHydropower (#PSH) on the #NavajoNation, particularly in the #BlackMesa region. Pumped storage pumps water uphill during low electricity prices and then releases it back downhill through generators when electricity prices are high, producing electricity and revenue. Pumped storage #hydropower, which requires huge amounts of water, is different than hydrogen, which other developers wanted piped across the Nation."
[...]
"#TóNizhóníÁní (#TNA) e-filed comments objecting to #FERC’s proposed policy reversal along with the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity, #AmericanRivers and more than a dozen #tribes across the US. 'For decades, #CoalMining on #BlackMesa has not only extracted coal but also billions of gallons of #groundwater to support the #mining operation,' wrote #AdrianHerder with Tó Nizhóní Ání. 'Energy projects that propose to use large amounts of water for #EnergyProduction should be vetted diligently.' Water access and reliability is crucial for our communities on Black Mesa and the southwest region of the United States.
"Tribal communities understand the resources and impacts by industry. Any project that proposes to use groundwater when it has been heavily impacted and in a state of recovery should not be considered for continued industry use."

#CMPCorridor Proposal: A Bad Deal for #Maine
"In April 2023, a Cumberland County jury ruled in CMP’s favor during a court case that very likely will decide the future of the company’s controversial transmission corridor. The decision was based on technical legal issues and not on the merits of whether or not this was a good project for Maine
"We are disappointed with the outcome and remain sharply focused on achieving a just and equitable clean energy future that works for all Mainers.
"Maine has already shown there’s a better path forward than the CMP corridor. A path focused on #regional collaboration and centered in Maine’s pragmatic approach to solving problems.
"Mainers are pursuing home-grown clean energy sources, like the #KingPineWind project in Aroostook County that will deliver new and verifiable reductions in pollution rather than a shell game that shifts existing energy for maximum profit.
"#MaineVoters got it right when they overwhelmingly passed a referendum rejecting the #CMP corridor because it’s a bad deal for #Maine and a bad deal for our climate.
"#NRCM is honored to stand with youth #ClimateJustice activists, #tribes in Maine and Canada, people across #WesternMaine who rely on a vibrant outdoor recreation economy, and many others in opposing the CMP corridor. Thank you to everyone who partnered with us on this hard-fought campaign.
What is the CMP Corridor?"Central Maine Power (CMP) is building a 145-mile transmission line through the heart of Maine to send hydropower from Quebec to electricity customers in Massachusetts.
"The CMP corridor is a bad deal for Maine. It will permanently damage #undeveloped #forest and #wildlife habitat, stifle the #LocalRenewableEnergy industry, and jeopardize the creation of clean energy jobs. The corridor won’t reduce global greenhouse gas emissions or create sustainable jobs for Maine people.
Top 4 Reasons NRCM Opposed the Corridor:
- Won’t reduce climate-changing pollution, and may actually increase it.
- Cuts 53 miles of new transmission lines through undeveloped forests in Maine’s #NorthWoods, harming brook trout, deer, other #wildlife, and the tourism economy.
- Jeopardizes the construction of new in-state renewable energy projects and creation of clean energy jobs.
- Generates billions of dollars of profit for CMP [#Avangrid] and #HydroQuebec while offering very little to Maine people and businesses."https://www.nrcm.org/programs/climate/proposed-cmp-transmission-line-bad-deal-maine/

Thinking of #clans, #tribes and wanting to 'belong'...
Many people are born into a family without wider connections than parents, grandparents, maybe aunts and uncles. Family traditions, but no larger tribal group or traditions.
One can yearn for that and be drawn to such groups, hoping for a legitimate reason to belong to them. If one isn't careful, one tries to buy into that culture - kitting yourself out with feathers, or kilt, or lederhosen, or team colours.

Add #SovereignTribalNations to the list of 25 states resisting #Trump's #BudgetCuts !
#NativeCommunities could lose $24.5B under #Trump administration proposal
If upheld by the courts, the proposed freeze on #FederalGrants would affect nearly every tribeby Amelia Schafer
Excerpt: " 'Nearly all Tribes would be affected by a federal grant freeze, with many facing the prospect of losing tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars — funding that is critical for supporting some of the most historically underserved communities in the United States,' the report concluded.
" 'When the federal government withholds funding from #Tribes and #NativeAmerican people, it’s not just a policy change. It’s a violation of those commitments — putting essential services at risk and undermining Tribal governing capacity.'
"A federal appeals court will decide if the administration has the legal authority to mass-suspend the grants, with arguments set in coming months in a lawsuit filed by the state of New York against President Donald Trump and his top administrators.
" 'as litigation around OMB’s funding freeze continues, it is essential that federal decisionmakers recognize the unique basis of funding for Tribes and #NativeAmerican people,' the report states. 'Funding to #IndianCountry is rooted in longstanding, legally-binding agreements between the United States and sovereign Tribal nations — not race, climate, or DEI.'
"At the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term, the OMB issued a sweeping order announcing a halt to federal grants nationwide, throwing tribal programs into turmoil.
"Although the grant freeze was temporarily halted, the administration continues to push for its implementation, and tribes continue to report difficulties in accessing the already-approved funds, the report notes.
"The bulk of the at-risk funding is dispersed through programs such as the Department of Health and Human Services [#DHHS], the Bureau of Indian Affairs [#BIA] and the Bureau of Indian Education under the Department of the Interior, the Department of Commerce and the #EnvironmentalProtectionAgency.
"If the funding freeze clears legal hurdles, critical projects across the country will be at risk, the Brookings report said. These projects include a $35 million grant to the #OglalaSioux Tribe for #broadband development, a $3 million grant to urban #NativeHealth board for community health worker training, and a $200,000 grant to the #Chickahominy Indian Tribe for preliminary #engineering and #environmental work towards a #childcare center.
" 'This is the building block of how the U.S. government pays back tribes for the land it took,' Maxim said.
"The report does not include the sweeping cuts approved under Trump’s so-called '#BigBeautifulBill' by Congress, which includes cuts to #Medicaid, #FoodStamps and other social programs that include Native people as well as others, Brookings officials said.
"The Brookings Institution is a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization based in Washington, D.C. Maxim co-authored the report with Glencora Haskins, research associate and applied research manager."
