A common beginner mistake in non-violent communication, reminding the speaker's loved ones of past school/education violences
Non-violent communication empowers giraffes to communicate in a non-violent, healing, empowering manner. I've just had a violent argument with a loved one, trying to assert my boundaries, and I've made them feel guilty, so after having cooled down while washing the dishes I've...

NVC, class oppression through privilege, CW politics
Of course, degrading communication in such a manner degrades social mobility; blaming or rewarding a child for their "grades" in an exercise (in which they're supposed to do mistakes, that's how we learn things!) brings down poor children and narrows down their possibilities to the most essential, less paid jobs (like construction, the food supply chain, and so on).
Spreading NVC is an action against oppression.
Sure! Thanks for the message, take your time. We're microblogging, publish whenever you feel comfortable doing so.
And I don't want to condescend on you, you could be my dad, buuuuut this is still microblog and there are other people reading us so from experience I know it bears repeating
There's a lot to unpack here, so I'm spending some time thinking about it before I respond...

@baslow Talking about this students social movement getting enclaved in their presidence-assigned buildings (harshly negociated, in their young naive minds) on the border of the campus, which were dedicated to the less funded, legitimate cursus they offered, they've stayed in these buildings for 2 years. Then they went in a brand new building rented by Vinci, dedicated among other things to sociology ("we aren't defunding sociology, look, we're renting a building for them"), rang the fire alarm, and we occupied the building, put tables in a circle, and on this horizontal model started to discuss about our individual end-of-the-semester reports.
We all wanted this social movement to succeed and I've never experienced something similar, and it lasted for about 2 hours before the police came and evacuated the building (which means the presidence had approved the police intervention), before blocking access to the building until the end of the year.

🥵 It's hot outside, which for some reason makes me want tacos.
@baslow I’ve seen various attempted social movements claiming that "we’re worth more than this" and failing on the long run, or getting enclaved on the border of the campus (in their presidence-assigned buildings), because they would fail to positively describe the world we'd want to live in. The cultural/advocacy part for any marginalized community is very important; pride comes among the most salient aspects of such a culture, and the French private television, although required when I was a teenager for my overworked mum’s mental health (resting mentally for half an hour), has made me ashamed of coming from the lower class, sort of deserving poor treatments like low grades, which are by the way an education disaster, but also kinda useful to keep a strong social hierarchy across generations. If people feel too ashamed to even claim a decent way of life, and this might be especially true for our declining middle class, then they will merely see the world in terms of what they oppose to, what they need, and not in terms of imagining a better society that would be worth spending nights figuring out what it could be and how to get there.

You cannot develop a full, rich, robust community
if your paramount concern is to programmatically thwart bad actors.
If you don't believe that the trust and good will engendered
among a manageable number of comrades
who collectively undertake communal interactions and collective actions
is enough to prevent the triumph of bad actors
then you have deemed the project of community doomed at the outset.

@dajbelshaw well directly embeding a remote image is called hotlinking and some websites don't like it, whether it's because of bandwidth costs or less chances to shove ads in our faces. When we next update the playground though, you'll be able to copy the image (the image itself rather than the URL, see screenshot) and paste it into the editor, which will upload a copy of the original file instead.
Nice 👍
How many online "communities" would be better described as online "associations"?
Community should be distinguished from association. The distinction is fundamentally one of commitment and identity. Associations, even while they provide their own form of social glue, make little claim on our loyalties and at best make minor contributions to our identities.

From Common Sense to Bespoke Realities
While the multiplicity and scale of digital media effectively brought the age of consensus to an end, it did not return us to an age of common sense. There is no imagined community to encompass the body politic, and our perceptual capacities are still untethered from our bodies. The worlds we now inhabit are digitized realms incapable by their nature and design of generating a broadly shared experience of reality.

Giphy is one of those sites that does something dodgy where what looks like the URL to image file (see the .gif extension) actually serves you an HTML page if you visit it directly. If you use the URL of the page the gif is on though, oembed should allow us to pull it in: giphy.com/gifs/tongue-goodni...
