#SocialMovements / #EcoSystem
= #Social #Individual #Movements #FreeSchool
Off to Birmingham today to talk about #Queer(ing) #Ecologies, and #Reimagining our relationship with ecology and nature, for STEM, LGBTQ and You!
This is a culminated talk.
Culminated from the many interactions I've had in the last few months and years even with ecology through so many lenses, be this #decolonial #theory in #conservation and ecology, #critical ecology, queering theories and practices, techniques and behaviours of #divestment, #discussions on #regeneration and #movements
I'm not a fan of Rachel Shabi and disagree with her a lot, including with parts of this article. But she is circling an important recognition of the left ceding the ground of antisemitism to the right. To all our detriment.
"With the #farright in ascendancy across the world, #Jewish people turned to leftist movements that had long served as our political homes—and found them not only lacking the language to speak to what was happening but also often mired in ignorance over #antisemitism. As American communications specialist Sharon Goldtzvik told me: “We as #progressives should be leading on the issue of antisemitism, but it has become a critical vulnerability, rather than a critical strength.’” This Achilles heel has been seized upon by the #rightwing, derailing #progressive #movements and thwarting efforts at social, economic, and climate #justice across the world."

The #Fascist #Threat Becomes Clearer With #Argentina’s #JavierMilei’s #Call for a #Global #Alliance of #FarRight, #Nationalist, and #fascist #movements, called a '#BrownInternational.'
The proposed #alliance draws on #Nazi ideology linked to the color brown, referencing the #brownshirts of the #Nazi #Party’s #paramilitary wing in 1940s #Germany.

(3/N) The first (adapted) question of the #ThreadModelingManifesto is:
The answer in a business context is usually a set of "#assets" that are worth protecting.
Individuals seem to struggle more than businesses with brainstorming specific and relevant "assets", though. The mental link to potential threats seems to be hard to make. That's why I suggest to reflect on a few abstract assets, first – how much do these matter to you, relatively?
#Safety and #wellbeing
Your freedom. Having a home. Your physical and mental integrity. Your autonomy. Having a space of your own, with your boundaries being respected. Creative space and time, free from interference. Being able to own things; or in some cultures, to participate in shared stewardship, and benefit from commons. Integrity of objects and data that belong to you, or that you depend on.
Your #locations and #movements
Where exactly your domicile is. Your travel plans. The freedom to move and to gather, without surveillance or tracking. The right to solitude.
Your #privacy, and your #anonymity
Being able to stay incognito, or pseudonymous. Deciding who gets to know what about you. The option of repudiating claims about what you allegedly believe, have said, or have done – regardless of the facts.
Your #relationships
Knowledge about your family, friends and significant others. Your reputation and public standing. The freedom to associate with others. Knowledge about your memberships, the communities you belong to, and your employment, including the specific hierarchies within those contexts.
Your #personality
Your identity and its facets, including gender. Political affiliations, and religious beliefs. Your hobbies, love interests, feelings, intentions, behaviors, habits, and preferences.
Access to information, goods, and services. Availability of a functional infrastructure that enables such access.

“Movements like the Indieweb and the Fediverse remind me that the ideals I once loved, and that spirit of the early web, aren’t lost. They’re evolving, just like everything else.” — Ben Werdmuller
