Our family friend Mimi Wada co-produced and co-starred in the new "Snack Sakura" that shows ( hostess ) through the experiences of the expert Canadian Greg Girard. It is under 25 minutes and posted for free at https://hi-lo.tv/Our-Work or permalink https://player.vimeo.com/video/935465833

Other professors used to take me to snacks when I was single, so I was well aware that hostesses were mostly divorced or single mothers. Mimi sheds light on the nature of snacks by saying that has a dark side. Regarding the that Greg mentions, Mimi clarifies that there is a double standard whereby men can go to snacks openly, but it is shameful for to work in them. Now I'm a family man, but I sympathize with such women, who would otherwise have to for close to the minimum wage.

A documentary succeeds insofar as it sheds light on the topic. If you watch it, perhaps let us know your impressions.

One concern raised about this proposal is that it is symbolic and might not do anything to improve the lives of people with visual impairments.

I would like to hear perspectives from people with visual impairments on whether this kind of action is helpful.

Just discovered that most of the people I was following over at Bluesky haven't been active there in months, sometimes many months.

I've got a hunch that Bluesky is not going to be the Twitter successor they hope for. 🤔

There's this platform called Mastodon though… 😉👍

The word was first mentioned in 1651 & described as an in 1688.

In 1710, it was claimed that music of Swiss herdsmen & the Guggisberglied (a song), led Swiss soldiers to desert. The singing of the same resulted (allegedly) in capital .

Back in the day, phone numbers used to belong to carriers. So if you switched carriers, you changed phone numbers.

Feels like the same situation with social networks.

If I move to a new social network, all my followers have my "old number".

Imagine if there was a level of indirection (like an Apple ID or an email) that always led to my current social network.

Impossible? Dumb idea? 🤔

Il nostro sogno per il fediverso è un mondo in cui non sia più necessario dover dipendere da social frammentati che non comunicano fra di loro, ma poter comunicare su un'unica grande rete libera e unita. Il fediverso è l'unica grande rete in cui è tutto collegato.

Il fediverso è differente. Ci sono migliaia di mondi ma non è necessario che ci sia una copia di noi in ogni mondo. L'utente di questo universo può connettersi e visitare persone e luoghi in tutti questi mondi lontani. Qui con un solo account potete collegarvi a qualsiasi rete.

Il modello del fediverso rende i social più semplici, accessibili e piacevoli.

Ok: how is it helpful to keep pointing out how bad Trump is? OF COURSE he is! But it seems like most people already either know this, or are complicit with/brainwashed by his kind of corruption….

Interesting that some people w/ large audiences never explore: WHY he's gotten away with his -criminal level- bs for decades -no delving into previous failings in law enforcement, the justice system(s) or media realms

or discuss much about the many heavily pushed norms that enable authoritarianism

L'inimité entre Attal et Houlié, qui ressurgit à l'occasion de la réforme du chômage, remonte à 2018, quand "Gaby" voulait la présidence du groupe LREM à l'AN. "Il a toujours été vu comme une pièce rapportée par la bande de Poitiers (les fondateurs de la campagne de Macron dont fait partie Houllié) qui a fait barrage", confie un conseiller. C'est finalement Gilles Legendre qui avait été élu...
