Thanks. I didn’t miss that even if not every detail isn’t included.

At least he gets to die in freedom.

And that’s the most important part of all. The past can’t be changed but after all the campaigns and marches and rallies he’s finally heading home. I’m sure your Lemmy post helped, too.

The article could definitely use an editor

I hear you. That regional history must have been part of Butler’s inspiration or at least influenced it. I’m not as familiar with the geography of the area as I live in the Northeast so I appreciate your perspective. It seems as though many people saw this as inevitable and it’s a tragic wake up call for others who ignored history. Thanks for sharing the link.

Not just “a neighborhod” but several including predominently black neighborhoods as the article points out. This is far from a natural disaster and many are actively trying to claim it is. Indigenous peoples performed controlled burns that prevented this prior to colonization. The article is very brief but points this out. It’s an entire ecosystem impacted not just celebrities and Octavia Butler made some predictions that were frighteningly astute without trying to say that we are doomed to repeat this.

That response is unwarranted especiallly as I took time to thoughtfully give you feedback and advice. Emotional intelligence is important on Lemmy and you are clearly lacking by not following its very basic code of conduct. Good luck.

While the articles may not be spam you are flooding the feeds of users who subscribe to mutual communities by posting 6 times in one community in a minute, therefore pushing posts in other communities way down in users’ feeds. I appreciate your passion and the information you share but it may make a better experience for others if you spread your posts apart a bit. I have been on Lemmy for over 2 years and moderate a few communities so you can take this feedback or leave it. Getting blocked by other users probably isn’t your desired result especially when you have good information to share. Calling people “sad” will definitely lead to getting blocked or banned from communities which I doubt is your desired result.

Great question! If you look in the sidebar of this very community and its larger instance you will find that our admins have placed helpful links to answer exactly that question. You can find the articles “What is Solarpunk?” and “A Solarpunk Manifesto” on our wiki

He’s one of many celebs known for having close ties to Diddy so those skeletons will be coming out of the closet soon enough.

Yeah I agree. Maybe Solarpunk is meant to be a “niche” genre . It was definitely not meant to be defined by executives at Disney. Much like Anarchism it works as an ideal that can’t be rushed into the “mainstream”. I do agree smaller indie projects are the way to bring the ideas and genre codifications to a wider audience and more fitting with decentralization. There’s definitely a demand for those stories and projects or we wouldn’t be here

I was thinking the same thing. Going “mainstream” would rob it of its meaning and subversion in a way that punk isn’t supposed to be mainstream so much as an ideal working to counteract “mainstream” values

Thank you for a reading the article and responding with substance from it that considers what it says instead of being dismissive. These projects are far from perfect.

They can argue against the employer’s claim and prove they weren’t fired for cause. My former employer lied to unemployment and and it worked in my favor. Either way they can appeal a decision and should start consulting attorneys immediately.

Is this question rhetorical? Articles are shared for discussion but I didn’t write the article or its headline

Different century. We’re in the 21st century. Robocop came out in the 80s which was the 20th

District 9 is mentioned as one of the director’s other films

I brought up fame to reassert her desire to be just like everyone else which I believe you misunderstood. Please don’t lash out and make this personal when this is a place for open discussion. I have heard your opinion and I disagree. I am not saying what is allowed, that’s a moderator’s job, so much as asking for a clear discussion on the topic brought up. No need to further it by throwing insults back and forth

Your first sentence is true but not really relevant to this thread. As another commenter pointed out, it’s possible she doesn’t have the most articulated politics. To expect or assume otherwise is to put her on a pedestal.

I’m aware of the context. I still disagree. This is a person who’s been struggling because of the impact of fame on her personal life and been begging to be treated like a regular person and I think putting her on a pedestal by assuming she’s a political expert or pundit isn’t honoring that. She gave her answer. That’s all.

That’s a valid interpretation although not an objective one or one I share given the rest of her delivery and vague discussion of “policies” .
