A Tattered Scrapbook

https://mastodon.social/@Tattered

Time for a proper introduction. I am a literature teacher, mostly retired. I love reading, music, baking, nature & cats. I am learning to boost a lot, which includes my passion for a truly inclusive world, so lots of support for Black, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, Women, Working Class, & other rights. I understand users who want Mastodon to be a quiet corner, but I am more concerned about what happens if we look the other way when people suffer.

At the point that he described the Labour front bench as “formidable”, I also realized what his handle is telling us. Not w/c, and possibly a bit of a troll. I’d mute him. He has nothing to contribute to the exchange of ideas.

I live in Japan and I used to live in China, so I have an interest in peace.
It would probably help if successive US presidents stopped dumping on China. I swear for every banned product or trade embargo, the US pushes China closer to Putin and Kim.

I disagree with the take here. I don’t think China is “testing the US response”. I also think that the Philippines placing military on the disputed island is “escalation”. This is not to defend Chinese actions. It is merely to indicate (typically American) anti-Chinese bias.

And policies on climate and migration.

While you are right, they don’t even have to explicitly want to “support” Palestinians. They just need to want to separate themselves from businesses and interests willing to slaughter civilians. And, as the original poster noted, that should not be a hard ask for a place of higher learning.

The slow motion apocalypse. Again.
