I’m reading Star Wars Ahsoka (trying to finish my books TBR this month) and I must say I really like her. It’s an interesting character and a nice addition to SW stellar crew. But I think it’s so upsetting all this discourse of “not being a Jedi” just because she doesn’t belong to the Jedi Temple Studio 54. So, to be a Jedi you must be a member of a country club and that’s it? #starwars #ahsoka #books #reading @bookstodon

That’s so uncannon and go so against the very core of Star Wars. We all have learn that Luke is a Jedi. “Return of the Jedi” means something to anyone? Luke even restored the Jedi Order in EU (what they call Legends now). I know it’s an identity issue for her, but it really is… boring. @bookstodon

I don't know if I agree with this list (which I don't), but here we go, I'd like to hear your impressions.

@simonzerafa @allstartrek Agreed, agreed!

@factolvictor@dice.camp avatar

@allstartrek @MirrorAyako Have you already chosen your favorite seasons? I think it's quite problematic because those seasons have so many episodes and there is always a bad apple...

factolvictor,
@factolvictor@dice.camp avatar

@lxskllr @allstartrek I totally agree! And we should consider that these “Top 10” lists are always subjective.

It has been a while, but I think it’s worth asking it after so many months. What do you think of Bluesky App? And Threads? Are you still up to Mastodon?

@maegul I created an account there several weeks ago and I can see several people who I was following here migrated to Bluesky App.

I've just finished teaching a class on Anthropology of Food in Japan. How I like this topic, wow... it's really, really cool, being able to think about culture through the meals we eat, food production and consumption systems. As the anthropological motto says, food is good not only for eating, but also for thinking. @anthropology

factolvictor,
@factolvictor@dice.camp avatar

@taichara @anubis2814 Sure! There are some classic anthropological articles on this topic. One of them is “Why do we overeat?”, by Margaret Mead. In this text she talks about the American Thanksgiving and the pattern of overeating (and developing guilt later) at the end of the year as something cultural. I also like “Toward a Psychosociology of contemporary food consumption”, by Roland Barthes. > @anthropology

factolvictor,
@factolvictor@dice.camp avatar

@taichara @anubis2814 @anthropology But my favorites are Pierre Bourdieu’s “Distinction: a social critique of the judgement of taste”and Claude Lévi-Strauss’s structural analysis. I also recommend Claude Fischer books and articles (mostly in French, but he has some stuff in English as well). >

factolvictor,
@factolvictor@dice.camp avatar

@taichara @anubis2814 @anthropology Regarding some Anthropology of Food in Japan, there are several interesting works. I strongly suggest T.J.M Holden’s “The overcooked and underdone: masculinities in Japanese food programming”. I also like Jordan Sand’s “A short history of MSG” and Nancy Stalker’s “Gourmet Samurai: changing food gender norms in Japan TV”. >

factolvictor,
@factolvictor@dice.camp avatar

@taichara @anubis2814 @anthropology If I can also recommend an au concours article, definitely is Anne Allison’s “Japanese Mothers and Obentos: the Lunch-Box as Ideological State Apparatus”.

    @jynersolives It’s amazingly sad, but it’s true. We’re living in dark times.

    I spent most of the last two days playing Star Wars Battlefront (2015 and 2017). The multiplayer experience with both is very good and these games really put the player inside the movies. It’s a shame that the Rogue One expansion for the 2015 Battlefront has no one online, because I remember that the missions were very good and immersive. Is there anyone here who plays these games on PlayStation? #starwars #starwarsbattlefront #battlefront #videogames #playstation

    Does anyone here still play the 2015 Star Wars Battlefront? If you want, we can do some missions in the online Co-Op. #starwars #starwarsbattlefront #battlefront #videogames #playstation

    @MindTGap @allstartrek That’s quite disturbing, I didn’t know that. It’s not the first time Paradox does something controversial such as this. Considering TTRPGs, their poor management of Vampire the Masquerade and Werewolf speaks for itself.

    I’ve just finished binge watching Star Wars – The Clone Wars. It took several days to watch everything and the final season was SO AMAZING that I watched it in a single run. It’s really great and it has so many important episodes. It was so good to see Ahsoka finally reuniting with Anakin at the end and so sad at the same time! Rebels still is my favorite, but I’m now very fond of the Clone Wars.

    Yesterday I watched for the first time the episode of Star Wars - The Clone Wars in which Ahsoka leaves the Jedi Order. It was such an episode, but so sad that I cried copiously. Now I begin to understand Ahsoka’s sobriety and pragmatism in her own series.

    After a busy week I’m finally listening to the latest episode of Rebel Force Radio and their analysis of Ahsoka season finale: https://podcasts.apple.com/br/podcast/rebel-force-radio-star-wars-podcast/id593355728?i=1000630267726

    @factolvictor hey so there is a starwars group: https://chirp.social/hashtag/StarWars?page=1&sort=name

    Which should be useful for uniting the community in a way that hashtags are not. I found out it exists today, we can use it a lot more than it currently is.

    @jynersolives I have 41 and I also love . But I do play them on my or on . I don’t care to much about finishing all the games I have, but I love reruns or spending a lot of time of them (that’s why those RPG open worlds lengthy games are my favorites). That’s my list::
