if you know a lot of stuff i think it is your moral duty to be kind and excited when people learn stuff for the first time. the world is full of stuff we don't know about, don't be mean

Jeg har et debatindlæg i @jyllands-posten.dk i dag om at højrefløjen agerer imod danske værdier og kulturarv, når de forsøger at begrænse transpersoners rettigheder:
jyllands-posten.dk/debat/breve/...

Her kommer lige nogle highlights i en tråd 🧵
Det er udansk at kæmpe imod transpersoners rettigheder
Hvis højrefløjspartierne reelt vil kæmpe for danske værdier og dansk kultur, så skal de kæmpe for flere rettigheder til transpersoner, ikke færre.

Det kan og skal gøres bedre når 45 af de 50 mest citerede eksperter er mænd. Ingen kvinder i top 20 og slet ingen med minoritetsbaggrund.

The only possible good thing I could say about any of this is that there is finally a solid, comprehensive, well-written piece of journalism about this whole tragic mess.

FED klumme af Bodil Skovgaard i dagens @information.dk: www.information.dk/debat/2024/1...
Der er ikke længere nogen, som taler om sorg, fortvivlelse eller vægelsind. Nu hedder alting stress
Det er svært at tale om sin demensramte forælder eller skamfølelsen over et kærestebrud. Men når alt fejes ind under det gulvtæppe, vi kalder stress, bliver det en blaserthed over for de mange måder, ...

Seeing the Danish media attempt to start a moral panic about rising fly agaric use is so funny. I can’t think of anything more morally neutral.

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

HUMANS!

I keep seeing people posting calm, collected contemporary poetry, but the only thing that can encapsulate how I’ve been feeling is this video of Michael McClure reciting his poems to caged lions youtu.be/djtmpdlXKEA?...

Oddly enough, our best and brightest heterodox columnists have analyzed the election results and all come to the same conclusion: people were mean to them on computer

A lot of you probably saw these words from Rebecca Solnit today, but in case you didn't, maybe you can take some inspiration from them.
“They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving. You may need to grieve or scream or take time off, but you have a role no matter what, and right now good friends and good principles are worth gathering in. Remember what you love. Remember what loves you. Remember in this tide of hate what love is. The pain you feel is because of what you love. The Wobblies used to say don't mourn, organize, but you can do both at once and you don't have to organize right away in this moment of furious mourning. You can be heartbroken or furious or both at once; you can scream in your car or on a cliff; you can also get up tomorrow and water the flowerpots and call someone who's upset and check your equipment for going onward. A lot of us are going to come under direct attack, and a lot of us are going to resist by building solidarity and sanctuary. Gather up your resources, the metaphysical ones that are heart and soul and care, as well as the practical ones. People kept the faith in the dictatorships of South America in the 1970s and 1980s, in the East Bloc countries and the USSR, women are protesting right now in Iran and people there are writing poetry. There is no alternative to persevering, and that does not require you to feel good. You can keep walking whether it's sunny or raining. Take care of yourself and remember that taking care of something else is an important part of taking care of yourself, because you are interwoven with the ten trillion things in this single garment of destiny that has been stained and torn, but is still being woven and mended and washed.”
