This is one of my favourite photographs from my walks around Halifax 55 years ago. When I took it, did I think I was capturing a world that was vanishing - a world of cobbled streets, gas lights and soot-stained stone terraces - or did I simply see it as an interesting composition? In truth, I can't remember, I just pointed the camera and clicked the shutter. I'm glad I did.
Everyone’s aways obsessed with Frankenstein’s monster. How come no one ever talks about Frankenstein’s rose bushes? Or Frankenstein’s amazing chicken Parmesan?
We made you a rigorously cited timeline of major moves, cases, changes, and other wildass developments in the immigration system since January 20. This is one of the most complicated things I've ever worked on, but we think it needs to be done. The thread breaks down the kinds of things we found. RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:7bmz7…

It's not just about what but who we're building with IRL! I'm committed to making these events welcoming. Here's what makes our #FediverseClub the best kind of #DWeb gathering:
1. Community First: As an alcohol-free and family-friendly event, the focus is on clear-headed conversations and genuine connection. Feel free to bring your kids and pets along; this is a space where your whole self is welcome
2. Accessible to All: Events are designed to be economically affordable for everyone. Located near a Skytrain station with free parking, we've removed the barriers so anyone can join the conversation and contribute
3. Intentional Connection: The goal isn't just networking; it's to have intentional conversations with developers, designers, and thinkers who are all about building a better #OpenWeb
“You wanna straighten out the budget? Start taxing corporations and the wealthy like we’ve been telling you. Do you think we’re idiots? Do you think we don’t pay taxes? ... You know nothing about what a working-class citizen does."
The tools of boycott and public protest are inherited from the period of direct colonial rule. We need to adapt these tools to target where the centers of power lie today in our region: Arab capital.

The Philosophy Behind the Movement: More Than Just #SolarPanels
Solarpunk represents not just an aesthetic or literary movement, but a comprehensive framework for reimagining human civilization. Its strength lies in combining practical technical solutions with radical social and cultural innovation, while remaining grounded in ecological reality and human needs. As we face cascading environmental and social crises, Solarpunk offers not just hope, but a practical pathway forward that is both revolutionary and achievable.
by NickyCammarata Nov 24, 2024
Excerpts: "While mainstream coverage often focuses on Solarpunk’s aesthetic elements, the movement represents a fundamental reimagining of human civilization’s relationship with technology, nature, and itself. At its core, Solarpunk challenges the dominant narratives of both techno-optimism and eco-pessimism, proposing instead a radical middle path that embraces both technological advancement and ecological wisdom.
"Often overlooked in basic Solarpunk discussions is the movement’s deep connection to #IndigenousKnowledge systems and decolonial thinking. Many Solarpunk principles mirror traditional ecological practices:
"Solarpunk explicitly rejects the notion that market forces alone can address environmental challenges. Instead, it proposes alternative economic models:
- Commons-based peer production - Gift economies for local exchange - Circular economic systems that eliminate waste - Democratic ownership of key infrastructure - Time banking and alternative currencies - #Degrowth economics in overdeveloped regions #TechnologicalSovereignty
"Unlike techno-utopian visions that centralize control in #corporate hands, Solarpunk advocates for:
- #OpenSource technology development - #CommunityOwned and maintained infrastructure - Appropriate technology scaled to local needs - #RightToRepair and modify equipment - Distributed manufacturing through #makerspaces - Knowledge sharing networks independent of #corporate control"

: you are not permitted to abuse Czech WWII victims for your hasbara spam purposes. But you do that anyway.
If a Czech holocaust victim is found at all in your online victims database, the record never contains an adorable pre-captivity photograph (sometimes a triple pane prisoner mugshot, typically a drawn silhouette of a man replacing a photograph).
However, commonly no record is found at all for murdered Czech Jews, like Laura Kussiová, in victims.auschwitz.org/victims?….
In addition, it is uncommon to find pre-captivity photographs of Czech Jews in the online Yad Vashem database, although usually a record exists (as is the case for Laura Kussiová - see the first screenshot).
Typically records describing Czech Jewish Holocaust victims ARE found in holocaust.cz/en/ as is the case forLaura Kussiová in holocaust.cz/en/database-of-vi… (see the second screenshot which shows a warning not to mess around with the information and photographs provided).
You keep scanning the internet looking for adorable, pre-captivity, photographs of JEWS - and incidentally, of mostly prominent Polish people.
In DuckDuckGo I searched for:
"Anton Guttenberger" murdered
The second result referred to an Instagram page (instagram.com/p/C9aFtZhKabE/). Part of it is shown below in a screenshot.
Note: the faces of the people shown were made unrecognizable (by me) as I did not attempt to obtain permission for republishing an image showing recognisable faces of WWII victims (please visit instagram.com/p/C9aFtZhKabE/ to see their faces).
The Instagram page contains the following additional ext (outside of what can be seen in the screenshot): ❝ 20 likes romasintiholocaustmemorialday
Anton Guttenberger was one of the Sinti and Roma who actively resisted the National Socialists. In April 1938, he and his family refused to take part in the planned examinations by the Racial Hygiene Research Center in Schondorf. However, when another registration took place in July of the same year, nine members of his family were categorized. In March 1943, Anton Guttenberger, his wife and six children were deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp and murdered there. Stolpersteine (small plates engraved with the names and live dates of victims of the Nazi persecution) in front of their former home commemmorate the family since 2008. 2August #neveragain #NaBister #BistrenGar #RomaSintiHolocaust #RomaHMD2024 July 14, 2024 ❞
@auschwitzmuseum : you clearly don't care about WWII victims. In particular Sinti, Roma and queers get even less attention from you. When spamming about Jewish victims, you prefer toots containing huge photo's of adorable people for your Hasbara, as click-cattle boosts them most, comparable to a beauty contest.

"Solarpunk is a prefigurative, utopian artistic and activist movement that envisions what the future might look like if humanity solved major modern challenges like #ClimateChange, and created more #sustainable and balanced societies. As a genre and cultural aesthetic, it encompasses literature, visual art, fashion, video games, architecture, and more. Solarpunk carries many aspects of punk ideologies such as rebelliousness, #humanitarianism, #egalitarianism, animal rights, #decolonization, #AntiRacism, #AntiSexism, anti-#authoritarianism, anti-#corporatism, and anti-#consumerism. Similar to the cyberpunk genre, the big difference between the two is that in solarpunk technology and nature are in harmony with one another rather than in conflict."

At the top, grayed out, the same photograph as in the Auschwitz toot, of Laura Kussinová, can be vaguely seen.
Below that is a relatively big dialog box demanding respectful treatment of victims in the Czech database of Holocaust victims. It reads:
Database of Victims – Terms of use
This database contains the names and fates of those who were deported from the territory of today’s Czech Republic, be it their homeland or may they have been deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto before from different european countries. Further, it contains basic information on those men, women and children, most of whom were Roma or Sinti, who died as prisoners of the so-called „Gypsy camp I“ Lety u Písku.
This data has been published for the purpose of a decent and dignified commemoration of the victims, and with great respect towards their descendants.
