TIL that the term "Mizrahi" is a reclaimed term, originally a racist term and slurrish, it's since been reclaimed by those Jews as a way to self-identify, especially for those Jews who live in Israel.
I've only heard it in the context of its reclaimed use, but knowing the history is important.
While I am am Ashkenazi, if someone identifies as a Mizrahi, you do not have the right to call them an "Arab Jew". You should always use the term that they use for self-identification.
In addition, I did not ask to be put on these groups, nor do I wish to engage with you any further.
If someone identifies as Sephardi or Mizrahi and someone else "re-classifies them" "Arab Jew", this is a form of erasure and possibly harassment.
@josephramoney well we have those as well… Baruch ashem … 🙏 the #Ashkenazi eugenicist Arthur Ruppin, for example, a prominent #Zionist leader who met with Himmler's mentor, Hans F. K. Günther. Ruppin was also Ben Gurion’s mentor, so I guess the ethnic cleansing of #Palestine was not an accident.

אז באסיפת הורים של גן תקשורת נציג העמותה התחיל למכור לכולם ניתוח התנהגות.
אני לא הייתי שם, כי לא הרגשתי טוב ובן הזוג היה לבד ולא היה לו את הביטחון לסתור אותו מול כולם.
היום הכנתי את טפסי ויתור סודיות, ציינתי במפורש שזה לא חל על מנתחי התנהגות, סייעות aba והתרפיסטיות.
ואז שלחתי לגננת (שמכירה אותי, שנה שלישית כבר) את ההסתייגות שלי ואת דעתי על הסיטואציה בה משווקים להורים "טיפול" שמצפים מהם לעשות גם בבית בלי שום גילוי נאות שזה שנוי במחלוקת, נזקים, כלום.
@fraunora@janinefunke@domwass@kattascha@histodons@histodon Bei der COST-Action „Comparative Analysis of Conspiracy Theory“ ist eigentlich eine Liste aller Mitglieder, die zu Verschwörungserzählungen forschen und da sind auch Historiker*innen dabei. Allerdings lädt die Seite bei mir am Handy gerade nicht.
My first post in Mastodon!
I'm Nosrat, I'm doing my PhD in computational neuroscience in university of Geneva.
I’m working on understanding underlying dynamics via direct measurement of neural spiking under the supervision of Timothée Proix.
A repost would be amazing as I’m finding my network here in Mastodon. #neuroscience#computationalneuroscience
Labor Day weekend is always a time of both anticipation as well as trepidation.
Apart from the usual variables, COVID has brought us new generations of high school students who learned under very challenging different conditions from their predecessors.
I am delighted to report that when I met with entering students to discuss the common reading on Friday, they were very engaged, interested, and interesting. A good omen for the first-semester seminar I have to teach
Academic snapshot 2: Just back from the wedding of 1 of our daughter's friends. The father of the bride shared a treasured childhood drawing of her with him.
As a historian of science, however, he was compelled to point out that the position of the 2 figures violated the universal law of gravitation & the figures lacked the full articulation of human joints, as a result of which he was glad his daughter would be working in emergency medicine rather than as an orthopedic surgeon like her husband

It's giving sun-poisoning or that new fancy version of COVID that nobody has tests for. Throbbing headache, aches, im exhausted and I'm pissing like a Roman fountain.
No coincidence that my partner, the librarian, has been stockpiling books on self-help topics now that the Internet is practically useless (and increasingly, actively damgerous) for things like "how do I repair X" or "recipe for bread".
@CodexArcanum@carey@SamYourEyes One of the collections I'm responsible for contains a large number of Chilton auto repair guides going back decades. I refuse to weed them, despite low use, because the digital equivalent is very expensive and it's the sort of information that will increasingly be locked behind paywalls
