Mastodon Migration

Good question...

Why is media not reporting on this 128 day Albanian protest of Kushner and Ivanka's insane corruption?

This Thursday (8th October) it's #NetMCR (https://www.netmcr.uk/) in #Manchester from 7pm!

At the moment there's no scheduled talk, so if you feel like giving one yourself, feel free to propose it 😀

Even if there's no talk, it will be nice to meet some like-minded individuals, try some interesting 🍺, and if you're hungry, 🍔 and 🍟!

By Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), Gravemarker Moon, 1886, color woodblock print. As a print, it appears in many collections, both public and private. This image is from the British Museum, London. #arthistory #art #printmaking #woodblockprints #japaneseart

From the University of Oregon, The Lavenberg Collection of Japanese Prints: “The old woman seated on the fallen grave marker is the celebrated beauty and poetess Ono no Komachi (9th century). Komachi lost her beauty, position, and wealth, but after wandering destitute for many years, gained enlightenment.”

One of Komachi’s poems:

“The autumn night
is long only in name—
We’ve done no more
than gaze at each other
and it’s already dawn.”

Translated by Jane Hirshfield and Mariko Arantani

From the University of Oregon, The Lavenberg Collection of Japanese Prints: “Beneath drying autumn grasses, the aged Komachi sits gazing at the moon. Ono no Komachi was a beautiful, intelligent woman and one of the most accomplished early court poets. As a young woman she was pursued by many suitors, most of whom she heartlessly rejected. In her old age she became destitute and wandered about the outskirts of Kyoto reflecting on the world and the vanity of life. In the Noh play Komachi and the Grave Marker (Sotōba komachi), the aged poetess sits down on a gravestone to rest. Two passing priests criticize her disrespect for the dead, but she refutes their doctrinal arguments:

I too am a lowly buried timber
But if at heart, I've still blossoms,
Why should they not do for offerings?
Surprised that this beggar-like woman should be so intelligent and well read, the priests inquire her name, but the poetess cannot answer them for shame at her present state. She falls into a reverie and recalls her youth when she was being courted by one of her many suitors; when the memory passes she becomes calm again. Yoshitoshi's Komachi is dignified and still intelligent, alert, and beautiful in her old age. Her robe with its patches of different rich brocades is like the costume the protagonist wears in the Noh play.

Later she becomes possessed by the spirit of her unrequited lover Shii no Shosho, who pined to death for her, and she does a slow dance at the gravesite to his memory. — From the University of Oregon, The Lavenberg Collection of Japanese Prints: “Beneath drying autumn grasses, the aged Komachi sits gazing at the moon.

So, uh, job search update:

About a month ago now, I pleaded on mastodon for help. I didn’t really have a goal in mind. I was just miserable at work, not getting paid enough to do too much work.

I posted a big long, rambling post that ended with, effectively, “will someone please help me”

A lot of you reached out, actually. It was a truly overwhelming outpouring of help. And I _definitely_ got overwhelmed by it. I’m sure I dropped at least a few opportunities right on the floor. If you’ve been waiting to hear from me and haven’t, I am truly sorry.

Today I just filled out the forms to start a new job, and it happened because someone reached out to me after reading my post.

My first day is in a little less than a month. On top of it being a welcome escape from my current position, it happens to be _literally_ a dream job of mine.

#getFediHired works. If you’re on here, and you’re losing hope, know that it works. There is a way out for you. You’re not in this alone.

If you’re not trying to get out of your current job, or you’re not actively looking, I urge you to check out the hashtag anyway. Boost folks. Send them leads.

It works.

Nearly 38 percent of Palestinian students in East Jerusalem now study the Israeli curriculum, while the rest of the students' textbooks are being censored line by line, stripping mention of Jerusalem, prisoners, the Nakba, and freedom fighters.

A image titled "The Evolution of the Phone Booth" divided into three vertical panels showing different time periods. The left panel shows a vintage wooden telephone booth on a street. The middle panel shows a mid-20th-century metal and glass phone booth on a sidewalk. The right panel shows a modern public toilet stall with an open toilet seat.

The only reason he's done this ad is because he knows he's losing massively and wanted to get people talking about his campaign. And now they're talking about what a weird creep he is.
