If you want to do running and jogging and speed hiking and you're blind or with low vision, you can adapt your running style. You can't do sighted people running. That's why those walking/running blind initiatives all want to tether you to a sighted runner. Because otherwise their sighted running style isn't safe for you. But you can run untethered and with a cane if you adapt your style to more "namba walking/running". Don't fly, don't land. You won't reach 10 km/h, and you'll run at a pace that's often just above fast walking speed. But namba removes the transition between walking and running and because of the speed you can run with a long cane. For directions I use VoiceVista and gpx routes that I prepare with sighted assistance and also scout with sighted assistance. So that I can slow jog untethered and find my own way, and can choose company or do without.
I got the feedback that my running "looks blind". Yah. That's because I'm blind. My running is blind running, yours is sighted running. I don't like the tethered buddy system and want to do without. I did tethered running once and my guide made me uneasy.
I just don't understand how you would want to do running without your own means of keeping you safe on the street.

Don't you think it is the approaching ecological, economic, societal collapse that is causing the pain that must be dulled with addiction.

YT channels that do: those Israelis are all fake because they're European, those are not "the real Jews", are deeply antisemitic and ignorant of anything jewish and they like to keep it that way. Once more for the entire chevre:
ANYONE can BECOME jewish. It's not an ethnic religion. And indeed many people converted, e.g. in Europe in Roman times and in the Middle Ages and in Central Asia and Kavkaz in the 8th century. And today too there is a steady stream of converts. Read the talmud and you'll soon notice the presence of Sages who were either converts themselves or the children of converts.
Genes have nothing to with being Jewish: that judaism is genetic is an antisemitic notion, that sadly, is also entertained by the Israeli government.

Als er een directe intellectuele erfgenaam van Jacob Israel de Haan kan zijn, dan is het Daniel Boyarin. Zijn studie over het talmoedische mannelijkheidsideaal maakte op mij grote indruk. Net als bij de Haan is ook Boyarin's eindafrekening anti-zionistisch diasporisme https://ayinpress.org/the-no-state-solution-a-conversation-with-daniel-boyarin/
It’s something that forms a language, a kind of aesthetic. An aesthetic of living, and an aesthetic of speaking and thinking. And you’re absolutely right. That’s exactly my project. I want to make a kind of Judaïté [a term Boyarin prefers to Yiddishkeit so as to include all Jews] that doesn’t first have to name people as Orthodox or not, that doesn’t have to do so at all. Some may do more mitzvahs, some may do fewer mitzvahs. But my project leaves behind that conceptual framework of determining Jewishness by levels of halachic “observance,” which is after all a very modern framework. But it also doesn’t leave the traditional practices and texts behind. I mean there’s nothing new in saying that, right? The same expanded frame was used by Jews who developed movements or whatever you want to call them. For example, was Rashi Fuenn [a leading figure of the Eastern European Haskalah23] Orthodox? I mean, what was he, Conservative? No, he was a Jew. Professor Dimitrovsky24 taught that every time Rashi Fuenn passed the synagogue in Vilna where they were praying mincha,25 he went in and prayed because he didn’t want people to say, “Oh, the maskil, the enlightened Jew, doesn’t daven mincha.” So sometimes he would daven mincha five or six times in a day. That’s a Jewish joke, Vilna style.

The power imbalance of the "Sighted gaze on blind people" was such an issue with both my current therapists that I had to address it in order to progress with therapy. In the arts I see Sophie Calle as the artist who exploited blind people most on account of the "Sighted gaze"
I have always felt deep distrust against the BME volunteers, as a group. And now it turns out to have been the correct stance.
So then, when the prompt is: "depict a blind person on a park bench", the video of you is already contributing to negative stereotypes.

Wat zijn de kwatrijnen van Jacob Israel de Haan toch prachtig. Toen ik braille ging leren was mijn doel om tenminste zijn kwatrijnen te kunnen lezen. Vier regels per gedicht moest toch gaan, was mijn gedachte. Een bescheiden doel.

In een Gebed, dat beeft en vreest.

At the same time as they assisted the functioning of the police, denuncia-
tions also played a key role in eliminating the social enclaves that would have
allowed people to gather, discuss, and organize resistance. Without denuncia-
tions in Nazi Germany, for example, there is no telling how many people might
have helped Jews or members of other stigmatized groups or expressed solidar-
ity with them. Insofar as denunciations and institutionalized informing made
the Gestapo and Stasi myths come alive, they had a devastating effect on all
forms of disobedience, much less resistance. Evidence of the extent and conse-
quences of citizen informing in the German dictatorships remains a source of
unease even now.

Al een paar dagen luister ik naar deze band. Vooral de commentaren onder de video's zijn interessant. De naam, de vormgeving, de stijl: 1950s nostalgie, naar een tijd waarin Indonesië precies een paar jaar onafhankelijk was en de koloniale echo's nog luid klonken https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL_al0PJmEk
Waaraan je goed kunt zien dat Israel altijd een antisemitische staat is geweest: hoe Teimani joden zijn behandeld tot in de jaren 80 van de vorige eeuw. In kampen gezet, gedwongen gesteriliseerd, hun kinderen geroofd en aan Ashekenazi gezinnen gegeven ter adoptie. Zionisme bergt antisemitisme in zich en dat antisemitisme is in Israel altijd geprojecteerd geweest op Arabische joden. In de jaren 50 verdwenen jemenitische kinderen uit de ziekenhuizen waar ze waren geboren. Aan de ouders werd verteld dat hun kind was overleden.
