She joined in a #lawsuit against Cali’s AG at the time, #KamalaHarris. A judge found that the challengers could show no direct injury & dismissed the case.
"A liar, fraud, money launderer, indicted, hanger on-er is expelled from Congress, while a liar, fraud, money launderer, indicted, hanger on-er is leading the GOP race for President. This conundrum is not a conundrum at all. In fact, it’s a feature of today’s GOP."
Twice a month, I run my popular Personal Values workshop on a pay-what-you-like basis, because our most uncertain moments may also be times of financial hardship.
Really, not all that hard to write off Fox News brainwashed relatives once the math is done:
🔹️ Narcisistic grievance complex
🔹️Oppose upward mobility for anyone not them
🔹️ Hollowed our a false echo chamber- reinforced reality for themselves
🔹️ See even their children as a threat to any wealth their generation hoarded
🔹️ Support thinly veiled Nazi policies
🔹️ No common spoken language due to false presuppositions about the world.
Robin Wall Kimmerer says we have a “shared responsibility for Mother Earth,” and Indigenous understandings can help us heal our relationship with the land. I wrote about three of those values: responsibility, respect, and reciprocity, and what might be possible if they informed Western science.

Inclusive dignity
Pablo Gilabert, 2024. Politics, Philosophy & Economics
"According to the Dignitarian Approach, there is a moral nexus between people such that when some can affect others with their acts and institutions, they ought do so in ways that are responsive to the valuable features that give rise to their dignity."
Today's blend of Taurus Moon's stability and scriptural teachings emphasizes mindful decisions. Choosing actions that align with your values enriches life. Practice gratitude to deepen this alignment.
"Call it anomie or call it airsickness—we find ourselves in a land of confusion. Trump pays off a porn star and yet is hailed as a champion of Christian values. He mocks prisoners of war and calls dead soldiers 'suckers,' and his MAGA base is thrilled by his patriotism."
good question "Why are we all so angry these days?"
"[..] fear became important as a component... rather than being a defensive mechanism, it started to eclipse the very values that it was supposed to be protecting.... democratic countries have engaged in many dubious moral campaigns over the many decades since World War II, like the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the propping up of brutal right-wing dictatorships across the globe."

It’s true that Christish tradition is to send #greeting#cards for the #holiday of the sender and not the recipient, but that just doesn’t reflect our great nation’s Islamojudaic #values.
Pick up some Christish cards at my shop for whichever of their #holidays is up next.
Are you at Mensch & Computer and interested in #values in design? Michael Bui will present our paper on “Patient Journey Value Mapping: Illustrating values and experiences along the patient journey to support eHealth design” today at 14:00 in building 4.
Today, reflect deeply on personal beliefs and values. Commit to an action that aligns with your highest ideals. This practice enhances clarity and purpose, leading to more meaningful contributions to the world.
Our state of denial of the role of cars
The normalisation of crashes must stop Pt.2
"These policies have promoted car-based infrastructure and urban sprawl. Public transport and active transport such as walking and cycling have been neglected.
Children are the victims of our obsession with allowing heavy, fast-moving vehicles in our everyday spaces, including around schools.
The freedom of car drivers comes at the expense of the freedom of all others. At the same time, the environment and society bear most of the costs of this car culture.
It’s essentially a form of victim blaming. Instead of reducing the source of violence, we tell everybody to be more careful around it.
We need to recognise that the car threatens children’s safety and their right to independently roam public spaces. This directly threatens their long-term health and wellbeing.
Car drivers’ rights are not more important than children’s rights to be safe on our streets. The interests of those who oppose measures such as reduced car parking or lower speed limits should not be more important than our children’s wellbeing. No benefit of a pro-car policy can be greater than the benefit of children’s active presence in public spaces, where they have a right to be imperfect and distracted."

\o/ Marie Kondo "is open with followers… I realised always maintaining the perfect state of tidiness was not my goal, but spending time with my kids is. That’s what really sparks joy. …It’s just that the idea may no longer always be attainable”.
“In the past, I didn’t have the idea of a temporary location for items.”
We are posting here the messages from organizations, institutions, NGOs, etc. that have opened a channel on Mastodon and left #X/Twitter. Many of their arguments cite the same points as mentioned in our open letter calling the universities to become active on Mastodon and fediverse servers.
The messages represent a broad consensus among Internet users who want to bring the choice of social media in line with their mission statements. The first of these is the data protection foundation @DS_Stiftung.
It writes about itself: „Acting independently in the field of #DataPrivacy, Stiftung Datenschutz links politics and the public, academics and business. It complements existing organizations and initiatives while liaising closely with German data protection authorities on state and federal levels.“ https://stiftungdatenschutz.org/english
At the end of September, she drew the consequences and broke away from X/ #Twitter https://twitter.com/DS_Stiftung/status/1704059550335119522
A logical and responsible decision @wikimediaDE !
