The unspoken demand for #Muslims specifically to hold #comfortable positions for #Westerners about their countries before getting #trust and #friendship is part of why so many groups are not #safe enough for Muslims to fully participate in.

#SocialJustice & #leftist #orgs aren't exempt.

You do not get to allow your #white members to say "#Hamas is a threat" or "anyone who supports #Iran is a #terrorist", and then ask "why are we so white/western/non-Muslim?".

Super excited to share Berry House's newest project: https://calgarygroups.ca/ ✳️

It's a free, accessible wayfinder for community in Calgary, Alberta.

My co-founder Yvonne (https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonne-berger/) spent hours researching and curating over +150 #grassroot #orgs, #clubs, and initiatives around #Calgary / #YYC

We built this because finding your people shouldn't be hard. Whether you're looking for a book club, a mutual aid network, an Indigenous-led organization, a tech meetup, or a place to volunteer. It's all here, organized and accessible.
What makes this different?

- Includes groups often invisible to mainstream directories
- Filters by identity (LGBTQ2S+, Indigenous, Disability, etc.) and interest
- Highlights grassroots and community-led initiatives alongside established nonprofits
- Free to use, free to list, built with accessibility in mind

Give it a look if you're interested!

Under the hood, I used 11ty + Tailwind CSS + Alpine.js to make an easily searchable static site, and I attached Decap CMS so Yvonne can edit and add entries effortlessly as well.

This is a cool feature preview of #guilds and #orgs in #starcitizen presented at #citizencon .

Missions of guild-members give the org reputation and thus benefits to members.

More and more #companies ( #agencies, #orgs and others) deliver themselves to #Google #protection #scheme online, #giving-up their #clients’ (users, staff and others) #privacy to the #monopolist (as proved in court) company.

I’ll say no more. (Deduction is up to you.)
