"At 77, Jiang may be the last remaining writer of qiaopi — remittance letters exchanged between Chinese migrants overseas and the families they left behind. Often sent together with money from abroad, the letters once served as a vital lifeline between relatives separated by migration." #qiaopi #china #letterwriting

“but all companies bad!!1”
yes, big companies do a lot of things. some good, some bad. yes, “piracy” exists.
but LLM pushers are unique in their ability to destroy culture by twiddling at this speed and scale.
During an activist event, we will have a child care corner. As one of the benevolent caregiver, I would like to bring some coloring pages. Is there any under public domain or creative commons I could print at home? Cheers
Boosting add colors to life
The #Fediverse population skews old - I think the median age is in the mid-40s.
So how can we, as older people who have presumably seen some shit, support younger people who are anxious about their personal future and the future of the world at large for entirely understandable reasons?
I mean, I definitely hit some rather low points in my life. But I now have a stable career, gotten out a debt hole, and even own an apartment where I have only 10 years left to pay off the mortgage.
In contrast, young people who need to enter the workforce to pay their bills are constantly told that AI will make their beginners' skills worthless, and there is a high chance that we will soon enter a new Great Depression once the #AIBubble bursts.
Oh, and fascists are taking over more and more countries while the global environment is collapsing more and more.
In other words, young people need all the help they can get. So how can we support them?
Loops Roadmap ⚡️
The NAACP on Tuesday launched a campaign
urging Black athletes, their families, alumni and fans to boycott athletic programs of public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”.
In the announcement of the
“Out of Bounds” campaign,
the civil rights giant name-checked eight states
– Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Georgia
– whose flagship public athletic programs generate more than $100m in annual revenue.
Each of those states has moved to draw new maps to limit Black voting representation,
following the supreme court’s Louisiana v Callais decision severely weakening the Voting Rights Act.
“What these states have done is not a policy disagreement.
It is a sprint to erase Black political power,”
Derrick Johnson, president & CEO of the NAACP, said in a statement.
“The NAACP will not watch the same institutions that depend on Black athletic prowess to fill their stadiums and their bank accounts remain silent while their states strip Black communities of their voice.”
