Call for experts to participate in the IPCC Scoping Meeting for a Methodology Report on the Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies and Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage
Hallo allerseits! 👋 🙂 Ich bin der Markus, Romanautor für Fantasy und Science Fiction, außerdem Illustrator, RPG-Designer und vieles mehr. Hauptsächlich bin ich hier auf Mastodon, um über meine Bücher, das Schreiben und allgemein kreative Betätigung zu plaudern. Ich bin gespannt, wen ich hier so alles kennenlernen werde. 😊
@kcarr2015 Yeah, the whole "is this person still that person" was interesting. It's one thing that Star Trek does pretty well presenting these dilemmas, Measure of Man, is another case, as well as the VOY episode where the Doctor wrote a holonovel and his publisher is like, you're not a person so this work belongs to us. #AllStarTrek@allstartrek
My first client is late today, so y'all get my braindumps this morning. I am 46. I guess that's in the window of possibly starting to experience #perimenopause. I haven't been able to determine if my temp regulation issues are because of #autism#anxiety or perimenopause. But they started getting really bad last yr. My husband had bought this same #Embr Wave Cooling Bracelet for his dad when he was going through chemo. It had helped him, so he bought one for me. 1/

🥹 I understand. There are generations of patriarchal socializing and shaming 😒 that produce an unsafe and female body shaming environment. It's in the water as the say...#feminism has come a ways, but there's a ways more to go.

Left school thinking 2nd wave feminism had fixed everything. In my first job in a bank, 1977, ascthecjuniorci made coffee for everyone when the doors closed at 3pm. When we got a new junior, it was still my job. The new junior was male. And when the female advance clerk got a promotion, I heard someone ask who she’d slept with.
"And the Band Played On is a 1993 American television film docudrama directed by Roger Spottiswoode. The teleplay by Arnold Schulman is based on the best-selling 1987 non-fiction book And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic by Randy Shilts, and is noteworthy for featuring both a vast historical scope, as well as an exceptionally sprawling cast."
Matthew Modine, Alan Alda, Ian McKellen, Richard Gere, Lily Tomlin, Swoosie Kurtz, Steve Martin, etc.
According to Wikipedia, it was his dyslexia that led him to science, as subjects where reading was a central focus were difficult for him. (UC Berkeley undergrad, UCLA Med Center residency).
I saw elsewhere here someone saying to stop using #Huel because it's ultimately camping food. One of my #neurospicy friends recommended it & my order came today. I'm sharing because for many #autistic people food prep is very draining & getting the #nutrition we need can be a challenge. I have the privilege of a very thoughtful & culinary partner who's kept me fed for over 2 decades. But this new career post gradschool has messed up my eating routine & I hope this will be a good supplement.
"Books aren't just commodities; the profit motive is often in conflict with the aims of art. […] We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings."
Thank YOU for letting me know you joined the Knowledge Commons instance as a result of my above report on it. They -- @hello -- might also be glad to know this.
Speaking of your mission of films for social activism, through our family friend in Tokyo, I happened to encounter such a group based in NYC led by a Chinese-American woman, with collaborators in Canada and here in Japan. I reviewed their most recent documentary -- available free at https://hi-lo.tv/Our-Work -- on professional photography of Japan's hostess bars, as explained at https://hcommons.social/@SteveMcCarty/112621109879323004
Being a career academic, it was my first foray into a film review or that kind of content, but it all goes toward my challenge as a Japanologist of explaining this inscrutable culture (for once a stereotype is an understatement!). If you happen to contact Hi Lo TV, please give them my regards.
