Music programs in prisons cultivate hope and dignity, while reducing the chances of re-incarceration. But journalist Maurice Chammah says that's only one side of the story — that listening to music made by incarcerated people has the power to change people on the outside. Here's his 2023 story for The Marshall Project on the history, impact and potential of prison music. "Listening to and sharing music may sound like a soft, superficial way of changing a broken system, but you can’t get policy change if you haven’t paved the way with culture," he writes.
Excellente vidéo de Marouchka, de la chaîne Youtube "Qu'est-ce qu'on lit ?", sur un sujet complexe : la cotisation sociale des artistes et auteurs·trices.
Depuis au moins 15 ans l'organisme en charge de collecter les cotisations des artistes n'a pas fait son travail, sous prétexte qu'il n'en avait pas les moyens... mais tout en occupant un hôtel particulier à Paris pour 600 000 € de location annuelle, entre autres joyeusetés.
C'est scandaleux.

my partner has begun reading this to me. she often stops and says, "isn't that autism" or something like that.
we also stop and shake our heads at the sexism here and there.

the Martian human in the #book Stranger In A Strange Land by #Heinlein represents the culture of an advanced civilization starkly contrasted with the (literally) ridiculous maze of lies of Earth #culture.
Smith, the Martian human, appears to Earthlings simplistic and dysfunctional and the plot of the book progressively contrasts enlightened Martian culture with primitive and chaotic Earth. we are over halfway through now, and I do find it neuroaffirming, and I wonder what other #actuallyAutistic
