#Valentinstag: Sags doch mal mit… Moor!

Du willst Deinem/Deiner Liebsten zeigen, wie wichtig Dir eine gemeinsame Zukunft ist? Du suchst eine Möglichkeit, die Liebe zu Deiner/m Partner*in mit Deiner Liebe zur Natur zu verbinden?

Dann ist Moor genau das Richtige für Dich!

Wenige Dinge sind so unüberraschend wie das Erstarken des #Rechtsextremisms in Zeiten von #Inflation und Wirtschaftskrise. Der #Kapitalismus verstärkt schon lange das besitz- und statusorientierte Denken des Menschen - und was passiert wohl, wenn aller materieller Besitz entwertet und sein Erwerb erschwert wird? Richtig, man fällt zurück auf die immateriellen Werte die man gegenüber anderen exklusiv haben kann: Volk, Herkunft und Vaterland.

Es stellt sich - mal wieder - heraus, dass #Liberalismus nur auf Sand gebaut ist und genau so lange hält wie der gesellschaftliche Wohlstand.

There is no contradiction in full support of the statehoods of #Israel and #Palestine, concern for all noncombattants in the region, decriement of historic settlement policies that sabotage a two-state solution and (currently the most important) denouncement of Hamas as terrorists and unworthy representatives for anything that would be a just or peaceful cause.

(Also, bemoaning and denouncing the surging Xenophobia and Antisemism in the "Western World" of which naming all examples would sadly take more space than I have here)

Shattering the myth of men as hunters and women as gatherers

"They found that women hunt in 79% of the analyzed societies, regardless of their status as mothers. More than 70% of female hunting appears to be intentional—as opposed to opportunistic killing of animals encountered while performing other activities, and intentional hunting by women appears to target game of all sizes, most often large game."

Shattering the myth of men as hunters and women as gatherers

Analysis of data from dozens of foraging societies around the world shows that women hunt in at least 79% of these societies, opposing the widespread belief that men exclusively hunt and women exclusively gather. Abigail Anderson of Seattle Pacific University, US, and colleagues presented these findings in the open-access journal PLOS ONE on June 28, 2023.

Fun #History / #Mythology fact about Cesar and Cleopatra. The family of #Cesar claimed to be the descendents of the goddess #Venus. Which is the romanized version of the goddess Isis. Of which #Cleopatra claimed to be the incarnation.

Venus/Isis could not be reached for a comment whether she approved of this divinely incestuous relationship. Then again, she most definitely did not prevent the course of history as it went.

There's multiple:
- Kingdom by Ben Robbins, my first ever GM-Less game. It thought me that you don't need a GM if you collaborate at the table.
- Blades in the Dark for the fact that you can put a lot of power in your players hands
- The Beetween by Jason Cordova: You don't need a character back story, you can simply work on it during play, but only when the game tells you
- The final Girl: Why just have one character, when you can create so many? And kill them all =)
For the sake of clarity.

The ancient #Romans had #Latin as a language. Today we commonly talk about a group of languages being 'romanic' and groups of people being 'Latino/Latina'.
