  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.

  3. 2/2 it’s #MothersDay in the UK today andI am thinking of all the mothers who have lost their children and children who have lost their mothers, including very much those in #Gaza.

    But I am also again thinking about the #Xhosa concept of #Inimba, especially in its wider sense of the motherly love mothers feel for all children (see ⬆️). So sharing again today. Here is to #Inimba!

  9. Ndicela – Please

    "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.

  12. There's this series, #VoicesRising , the music of #WakandaForever on #Disney that is super cool for a number of reasons. Because of what the film attempts to communicate culturally much of the magic happens at the intersection of authentic local music and really old traditions but
    in film context. #Manna for students of music and film

  17. Google Translate is a relatively simple looking app that offers a lot of functionality. It has the ability to translate words or sentences that you type or paste into the app and can even translate text found in images. Furthermore, the app is also capable of translating the world around you, on the fly in real time using the power of Google Lens. This is an incredibly useful feature that it tends to get right a lot of times, even if you're rushing and on the move. Finally, the app offers a conversation mode that can translate a chat between two different people in real time as well.
