- “Answering ACCUSATIONS about My Palestine Activism.. (I am so done with this sh*t.)” https://youtu.be/yQBlo_hQrGU?si=-oMR0ZViCDWQ48Vr The comment to the effect that one cannot be spiritual and ignore massive human rights abuses resonated strongly with me - but the whole video is, in my opinion, excellent (especially the passion - I have subscribed)

the erosion of the postwar social contract, and the fraying of public
services and the social safety net hit some people harder than others.
... “the odds are stacked against those who can’t seem to break free
of poverty and disadvantage, no matter how hard they try.” Many of the
policy recommendations the researchers made still remain: fair and
adequate income support; accessible and responsive health and support
services for parents from non-English speaking backgrounds;
reinvestments in safe, secure public housing, accessible public
transport infrastructure, and more.” This has been known by those living it (especially here in Victoria, where Kennett savaged society in the 90s)
and advocates ever since it started happening, but this evidence will
greatly aid the understanding of many and the efforts to accomplish to
change for the better

- “Autistic Anger” https://youtu.be/Dr85NtK7j7U?si=AzeieLOvIAyGwH6w I consider she was correct to call out the man in the park - and for the reasons she stated. Yes, he may have had problems, as pointed out in the comments, but that does not give him the right to interfere with other people’s valid life activities. This has wider application, which I why I have included it here, rather than in the neurodivergent section
- this week’s videos from the revised archetype character arc being developed here are: “Love is not enough: how to empower the next generation” https://youtu.be/3Zlo9gZmdMs?si=3RvEJPoNIfD0XCe9 “True, empowering
parents, bosses and other leaders know how to trust, inspire and
strengthen others. But can they resist the darker draw of their shadow
rulers? ... Do you have what it takes to be an empowering leader, or
have you been unknowingly captured by the inner Figurehead or the inner
Vampire?” “Do you have this surprising skill shared by all true
leaders?” https://youtu.be/bKUC2xG-v8o?si=5MHH0pV0Ff1tJS_k “Whether
you're a parent, CEO, team leader or simply the boss of your own head,
there's one skill you need to develop. But be warned: it's not going to
be easy.”

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).Copyright © Kayleen White 2007-2024 NO AI
