Teken de petitie 'Tanks? No Thanks: ik wil vrede en echte veiligheid!'
Wij willen échte vrede en échte veiligheid. Dit betekent stoppen met alle militaire escalatie en het kopen van steeds meer wapens. Dat maakt ons niet veiliger. Het maakt alleen wapenbedrijven en hun rijke vrienden rijker.
Iedereen wil veilig leven en in vrede samenleven. Maar grote wapenbedrijven en hun vrienden in de politiek verdienen veel geld aan angst en oorlog. Gewone mensen hier in Nederland, maar ook in Palestina, Oekraïne, Congo en Sudan, wij betalen de rekening. Als je kritiek hebt op meer wapens kopen, word je vaak de mond gesnoerd. Zo zien we niet wie er echt aan verdient.
Kijk naar de feiten: Europa is militair al 3 keer sterker dan Rusland. Rusland is economisch even sterk als de kleine Benelux. Toch wil Rutte dat we gaan bezuinigen op onze pensioenen, op onze zorg en op ons onderwijs, zodat we in Europa 200 miljard kunnen uitgeven aan militarisatie en escalatie. Dat geld gaat vooral naar grote Amerikaanse wapenfabrikanten.
Wij zeggen: Tanks? No thanks! Trump en zijn Amerikaanse vrienden worden steeds rijker en machtiger terwijl wij de rekening betalen en straks naar het front worden gestuurd!
Deze petitie markeert het begin van onze Tanks? No Thanks! campagne voor vrede en echte veiligheid. Juni staat voor ons in het teken van bevrijding, rechtvaardigheid en solidariteit! Met op 22 juni een grote demonstratie voor vrede en rechtvaardigheid in Den Haag. Samen kunnen we een stem zijn die durft op te komen voor vrede, rechtvaardigheid en échte veiligheid, niet alleen voor enkelen maar voor iedereen!

re: LB (on community health)
this is something i've been mulling over for a while now, but i think never actually posted. in short: community health is not just an individual responsibility, but also a community one.
there is an individual responsibility to communicate and seek treatment, like the people did in this example. let people you're cuddling with know that you have a weird rash or itch, doctors said it's probably just an allergy but just fyi. and then when someone else starts getting one (like person b and c here), they have an opportunity to connect the dots.
but there's also a community responsibility. to normalize talking about things, like this post, so we can learn from each other. to think about how infectious disease spreads in our community and about ways we can act.
we keep ourselves safe. we keep ourselves healthy.
(more posts to come but i need a break. it's the same with covid etc.)
PSA, Scabies and why it's not always that easy, ph
"You should just immediately know when you got scabies and make sure not to spread it!" You think that's easy? Let me tell you our little tale of woe!
It's February Person A notices some itching and a few spots on their hands. As there's been a few fedi posts about scabies, they panic and think it's scabies, so the next day when they're home they try to contact a Dr. Unfortunately, there's no general practitioner with a quick appointment
gendering your baby feels kind of like calling a skein of yarn a "sweater." like, yes, it might turn out to be a sweater, and it's probably gonna look like one at least for a while if you decide to knit it into one.
but ultimately, it could become anything, and even if you shape it into a sweater... it could all unravel someday.
ultimately, we don't control other people. we can observe and support them, or we can push our expectations on them. connect, or set them up to perform for you.
What's up with American food recipes being terrified of measuring stuff by weight? I mean even something like "a tablespoon of flour" can mean a whole range of amounts depending on the size of the spoon and whether you dose the flour flat on the spoon or if you create a mound..
And then there's stuff like measuring raw ginger by length which absolutely baffles me cuz like have you ever seen ginger root?? It's like the most irregular object at the grocery aisle which way am I even supposed to measure out an inch??
I do appreciate that the shop reused the box, though, and judging from the writings on the box (which didn't match my shipment) this was actually at least the *second* time that this box was reused!

Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
