To gain an deeper understanding of what pushed Palestinians to desperate acts of violence and how brutality far exceeding that of October 7th has been ongoing for decades

Also: there are over 10,000 Palestinian hostages being held in Israeli prisons facing torture, dismemberment, sexual assault and degradation; all being held without trial or representation

Yet the people in this film do not want ot be seen as victims, and although I cried deeply watching this film, I left the theatre feeling empowered and stronger than ever in my support of Palestinian liberation; and the liberation of Indigenous and all opressed people globally

And I wrote about this before, but I feel that those of us with European, especially Germanic heritage have double responsibility to be a part of dismantling what's going on in so-called Israel, because it's European antisemitism and White / Western supremacy that is the root cause of this conflict

I'm part of the Palestinian liberation movement, and I also work to address legimitate acts of antisemitism, including hate site on Neocities, like nazi.neocities.org

I moved my site off of here because of these sites being hosted, though i still post on this wall. Kyle Drake is the sole decision maker for Neocities, so send him an email today and tell him how uncool it is that he allows antisemitic sites on here. Even Geocities, over 30 years ago did not allow such sites to be hosted.

I finally posted an essay that I've been working on for about 3 months about revolutions in systems and platforms for posting content online and how de-corporatizing them will not lead to the kind of free, equitable internet people hope for. It was one of those things originally meant for the Spare Words section, but then morped into a 4,000 word essay against my will.

Bravo! I enjoyed reading! I love these quotes, "How internet discourse change if we allowed people to learn in public, which of necessity means making mistakes?" and "good internet just as importantly depends on our tolerance for incompleteness and imperfection." Finding human pockets of the internet is what keeps me surfing and doom scrolling. Those fleeting moments give me hope.

"everyone’s feeds became well-crafted soundbites", accidentally read as well-scrambled soundbites and it seems to fit my overall feeling of social media sites. I could relate a lot to your writings on academia as well (I also left, for various reasons). I made a short comic panel about social media recently with a similar conclusion that going at our own pace instead of feeling pressured to post seems better.

Overall I could relate a lot to your writing and it was kind of refreshing, actually, to just read someone else feeling frustrated about the whole experience

This was a great piece of writing. Very relatable too. Made me think a lot about my own social media use and experiences (I'm currently on Mastodon, but I have my reservations) among other things.

i love your distinction between a private journal and a public blog -- i think the web has made externally-oriented the default rather than internally-oriented! if we write something but no one reads it, what was the point? similarly if we had a thought/reflection. i often wonder whether we'd be happier/healthier if we were internally-oriented primarily, if sitting and daydreaming were a natural activity on its own.

Thank you all for your kind words. I was kind of frustrated by how much time this essay sucked up, so I am glad that my curmudgeonly opinions resonate.

Also, sorbier, you remind me of the Pascal quote: "All of man’s misfortune comes from one thing, which is not knowing how to sit quietly in a room." A good reminder humans have been dealing with this long before the internet.

You have come full circle and that is good, although change is scary, it also includes the possibility of something better than what you have known. It's good to give yourself that chance to know something better, to give it a try. As always, all the best !.
