It would be nice if @peertube could add the ability to put your own language on videos. Right now, there is a list of languages, which are perhaps the most popular, but it doesn't include every language in the world. For example, I'm uploading a film in Acholi, but there is no option to specify that this is the language.
Update: I see Kiswahili now, was a user interface thing as it was hidden. #peertube
Hello people! We are Sisi Film Collective, and this is our #introduction post. We are a #collective of #filmmakers and #storytellers based in Uganda.
At Sisi, we believe in collaboration and nurturing voices that might otherwise go unheard. Together, we create short films, poetic visuals, feature films and collaborative art projects.
We’re here to share our stories, #connect with other creatives, and discover your stories too. Let’s connect and keep the stories flowing.
🧵 Some random thoughts about #journalism, #journalists #media, #socialMedia as echo chambers, and our ability to change from #nagScrolling to #solutions.
Have you ever noticed that people get upset about bad journalism or claim that ‘the’ media are not reporting something? They post (supposed) evidence. Who gets the attention? (a good question before boosting!)
In advance: Yes, if we analyze something bad for learning, we need these links and proofs. But I don't talk about that. I talk about
🧵 borders. Now I found an article by a Pakistani journalist which is a good example: It is internationally understandable. It shows the context of climate change from the very first sentence. But it also shows the political interdependencies and the environmental damage: https://globalvoices.org/2025/07/14/deadly-floods-hit-pakistan-as-government-preparedness-faces-scrutiny/
Sharing this good example of journalism, readers can be informed better, learn something new. And we can even take the good example to teach about bad journalism and how do do better. And so we all
I finally started uploading some of my photos to wikipedia as CC-by-SA. Makes it so much easier to find them again when I need them.
This is a star worm from the family Rhagopthalmidae. It looks like a tiny subway train crawling on the forest floor.
Took this with my cheap 25mm 7Artisans manual lens, because the wide apeture could capture the dim bioluminescence. I had a fill light to the right so there is a glimpse of what the animal actually looks like.

“Where their fur is normally fawn or black, under certain wavelengths of light, they exhibit a process referred to as biofluorescence – like nature’s version of a white shirt glowing at a disco.”

That is helpful. Thanks for sharing.
I went and reviewed and found Israel and the United States have not signed Protocol I and II according to:

...every military adventure in my living memory has been a test: "are there any real consequences if we do serious war crimes?"
And the answer is nope. Repeatedly.
It is sickening. I don't understand how people could give such orders, or follow such orders if given.
@petergleick @alisynthesis Not really surpised. They even voted against water and food as human rights.
Israel will continue as long as the west will ignore the genocide. It is sickening. There should have been consequences long, long time ago.
It wouldn't shock me at all.
Has the US ever ratified banning land mines, or banning enlisting children under 18 as soldiers?
there is no right to food enshrined in the U.S. Constitution thus starving the poor huddled masses won't even require the scotus to look the other way
That we even have rules that say what you can't do during war, is obscene. It implies that there are things that are fine fuddafucka, just go ahead and kill and maim people. We're a fucked species is what.
@petergleick the Geneva convention at this point is a historical set of rules. There are currently two active multi-year imperialist invasions and occupations in Europe and Palestine. Both wars have routinely broke this rule and more than one other (I don’t know them by heart).
There are zero consequences for ignoring the Geneva convention.
I remember. I remember being taught many of these rules and agreements were made because of what was done to Jewish people. Their stories broke my heart, and I admired their 'never again' stance and advocacy. Which makes this even more hard to bear accordingly.
In every sense of the word, these deaths are wrong.
"The best friend of a nation is he who most faithfully rebukes her for her sins—and he her worst enemy who, under the specious… garb of patriotism seeks to excuse, palliate or defend them." - Frederick Douglass
And the world is watching… like it did with the genocide of 6 million jews…or the genocide of the Armenians. In a world where the UN are a dead letter.
Shameless…
Israel whines continualyy about the German driven partial Genocide, they do not care in the slightest for any conventions and continue to starve maim kill citizens of Gaza. Men Women Children brutally murdered.
Antisemitism is growing rapidly and it is deservedly so....
