“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”
I HAVE MOVED
mastodon 4.8.0-alpha.3+glitchPlease find me @forse@kolektiva.social
I'm posting more about world events and philosophy than about functional programming, so I think the new home is more appropriate.
Heya! #introduction ! =)
#italian #australian transplant in #sweden .
Sleep deprived #dad of two small humans and trying to do the best possible job of it.
I suffer #chronicdepression and raging #socialanxiety which also means that I have very poor focus and memory and am bad at peopling in general.
Leaning heavily into #anarchism and #solarpunk .
Fascinated with #psychology , especially related to politics, society and #authoritarianism .
I spend most of my non-dad time developing Squarepants, a minimalist and #accessible programming language, otherwise I play #warframe and dream of #gamedev
I know I'm privileged in many ways and I try to be a decent ally.
I am thinking a lot about how to do something for the #climate emergency, but so far I'm just trying to learn to talk to people effectively.
"I’d like to propose what I believe to be a better approach than “cultural appropriation” for understanding problems with using other people’s culture. I think when we talk about appropriation, we’re really talking about two separate issues: first, an issue of cultural exploitation, and second, an issue of cultural disrespect."

This is a through article about cultural appropriation, it really cleared up things for me.
I'm posting it here because it took me a while to fish it up, it seems like it doesn't pop up easily on search engines, I had to go dig into my backups to find it.
I really think it's worth reading.
I really want to set up / join a #multigenerational #cohousing / #intentionalcommunity , possibly around #göteborg, why isn't more people doing this? =|
