Semitones@ai6yr @dank Not sure if it applies, but the food banks near me have started rebranding so that they are for *everyone*. They are called "mobile market". They don't check if you are in need. You just show up, fill out a survey (which asks things like, has food gotten more expensive for you?) and then accept the food they give you. A lot of times the produce is "ugly" surplus like huge carrots that they can't sell in the store but is perfectly good to eat. I think they want to reduce the stigma.
Historical DialoguesThis is the new social media home of the Historical Dialogues, Justice, and Memory Network. Previously communicating through the bird site (@HistDialogue).
Welcome to fellow migrants! We hope you’ll like it here, and perhaps at some point we’ll say more about why we’ve made the change.
Alexander Karn10th Conference of the Historical Dialogues, Justice, and Memory kicks off today in Vienna 🇦🇹. Thank you to the organizing committee and hosts: The Vienna Wiesenthal Institute and the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
Friends:
False equivalence and demoralization are fascist gold.
The MAGA set badly want you to give up any sense of idealistic striving. They need you to believe that the system is rotten and degraded. Once the full promise of democracy has been undercut, nobody objects to its being discarded. That’s their plan: to sully everything in the political imagination until the majority relinquish any claim to something better than their violence and sadism.
Mass intoxication first requires small, private capitulations. The force of the group substitutes for the weakness of the individual.
We change venues today. Rountable discussion this evening at VWI (Wiesenthal Inst. for Holocaust Stuides) to discuss the future of historical dialogue and historical justice.
I’ll speak abt recent example of progress/achievement (esp in US and Europe) and the limits of critical disposition and avoiding discouragement.
Joined by Nanci Adler, Ariella Lang, Klaus Neumann, Baskara Wardaya, and Eva Kovács.
Moderated by Kate McGregor and Steve Winter.
Archivos de la HistoriaTodo el agua se llevaba desde el Nilo hasta la urbe en cientos de camellos que iban de un lado para otro cargos de hinchados pellejos de cabra, sin contar a los aguadores que la distribuían por las calles en pequeños recipientes que costaban un penique de cobre. Los musulmanes ricos también dispusieron unos navíos cargados de agua para beneficio de los musulmanes, judíos y cristianos pobres que quisieran beber y lavarse con ella.
En su visita al palacio del sultán para obtener pasaporte, Arnold comprobó la riqueza de la sala de audiencias, los espléndidos sementales de las caballerizas y los acueductos con caños de plomo que llevaban agua a sus estancias (construidos por Saladino y en uso hasta 1872).
