Cleo, a black trans woman in Germany who was a Berlin resident, has been held (per my understanding) without charge on "general suspicion" for over a year and on little to no evidence. She has been transferred to a men's prison despite objections from Cleo and her community. https://www.instagram.com/priderebellion.berlin/p/DILwz5oMgtk/?img_index=3 https://innn.it/justiceforcleo

Fediverse: suggest me the best (introductive) political philosophy book that I can binge on instead of doomscrolling.

Bonus point if it includes indigenous philosophies and bonus bonus points if it includes women philosophers or scientists!

I'm already familiar with reading secondary texts on philosophy, as I've read a fair amount of will durant and have been 'trying' to read A.C Grayling.

I'm loosely familiar with anarchism and Marxism purely from being affiliated with communists and anarchists online, but haven't read both the philosophies thoroughly.

Thank you fedi, stay kind and swag

"In [non-Western] cultures, they might have never used terms like 'plural', because they don't need to. In a culture where they have a concept of self that is not singular, they have the language they need to articulate their experiences. And if you refer to people in other societies who experience something like we do as 'just plural', you are not better than the people in psychiatry who say they 'just have DID'. You are superimposing your understanding over their own, and claiming its superiority. It is the same bias that prioritises Western explanations and insists on looking at things through Western eyes."

[…]

"Even though I think the study of plurality is fascinating, even though we have DID and have found the psychology surrounding it to be helpful, most of us don't use those labels at all anymore. We don't want to be validated by psychiatry. We don't want there to be a rational explanation. We want to be respected as people regardless."

I found some pouch lipo batteries in a project box I haven't touched since before the pandemic. One was looking a bit inflated so it's gonna go to the recycling center with my 3S. But the other looks fine. However, it's charged at 3.8V, which has me worried considering it's a 3.7V battery. Should I recycle that one too?

the absolute gall they have when they say you need a specialized doctor called an endocrinologist to help you transition because a gp couldn’t possibly know about all of that, and then the endocrinologist literally doesn’t know a single true fact about anything and doesn’t care to learn

I've been suspecting i have some form or another of EDS for some time now, I tick most of the boxes of the diag sheets including bad wound healing

I started electrolysis sessions last month, the first one was already pretty bad but for the second one (last week) I reacted so badly I ended up in emergency care

so I'm curious if people who have EDS have similar experiences or if it's something else

Hey so this is probably a really niche and maybe weird question but are there people on here with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (or other similar ailments) who also get hair removal treatment by electrolysis? How is it going for you?

boosts very welcome
