The Baftas honoring the best films of 2023 will take place Sunday. Since the first ceremony in 1949, no Black women have won the award for best actress. This story from Variety underscores the considerable work that remains regarding the UK’s “persistent issue with embracing diverse performers.” https://flip.it/8mI8jb

Hi Fedi Family,
In 2008 Californians voted for Prop8 that defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman in the California constitution. While this was defeated in courts this draconian Prop8 language is still in the California constitution. Justice tHomas and the right wing SCOTUS is openly hinting at destroying precedent and trampling rights. If they overturned Obergefell - the Prop8 language in the California Constitution will act as a “trigger law”, raining havoc on queer families like mine across California.
Please spread the word to vote “YES” to repeal Prop8 (2008) from the California constitution in Nov 2024. Talk to your friends, family and colleagues about it.
Boosts appreciated.

Is being ‘woke’ a badge of honor?
Historically, the word was used as a warning to be aware of racial injustices.

Gabby Petito went missing in the summer of 2021 and was later found to have been murdered by her fiancé. Her disappearance generated enormous publicity, which at the time was described by activists as "Missing White Woman Syndrome," where white crime victims get more attention than non-white ones. Now, Gabby's family and the foundation they created in her honor are campaigning for every missing person to get the same level of publicity as she did. Here's an interview from People magazine with her father Joe.
For the first time in Japan, a local government recognized same-sex spouses on a residence certificate as a common-law marriage. Now, it looks like other governments may follow suit in a move that could pressure Japan's central government to act on marriage equality.

I think it's time for a re-introduction!
Hello fediverse! I am an admin for Veganism.Social, VoIP engineer, sim-racer with @ethixracing, gamer, foodie, and long-time ethical vegan. I'm originally from South Florida, but now living in the Orlando area as of 2020. I'm usually not a very social person, but I'm trying to change that! I want to make a difference in the world, and one person cannot do that alone, so connecting with others is essential.
My political and ethical views are all centered around equality, compassion, and environmental protection. I am anti-capitalist, but I also understand that it's impossible in the current state of society to avoid participating in it. So I try to make the best decisions I can with the options given to me in order to minimize the harm it causes.
Humans and animals all over the world are facing troubling times, and thinking about it has taken a massive toll on my mental health. Now, I am trying to focus my efforts on things that I can change, rather than spreading myself too thin and not helping at all. This doesn't mean I'm ignoring all of the other suffering, but simply trying to prioritize based on what is within my reach.
Thank you for taking the time to read, and if you feel like we have something in common, give a follow! I look forward to meeting like-minded individuals and organizations that seek to make the world a better place!
For a bit more info about myself and my sim-racing efforts, check out this interview I did with @veganeasy last year.

CORRECTION POST ON CANADIAN LGBTQ HOTLINE FAKE
However, the number listed, 1-877-330-6366, does not connect to a Canadian government service. It connects to Trans Lifeline, a nonprofit, peer-led support line that has served both American and Canadian transgender people since 2014. No new Canadian hotline has been created for LGBTQ+ Americans.

#Introduction, or "everyone wants to be Trad until it's time to do Trad shit."
I write philosophy of a practical nature, and my primary concern is avoiding #TheEcocide.
Humanity has to get itself organized and then evolve in order to save Earth ecosystems.
Based on historical data, I endorse the #FourPillars:
1. Culture-rule: remove bureaucracy, have a unified culture=ethnicity=religion. This requires ethno-nationalism or remigration of all foreign ethnic groups. This is more significant than racial nationalism and opposes both civic nationalism and diversity-socialism.
2. Hierarchy and excellence: social classes are genetically different, and higher IQ makes better decisions, therefore we need both (a) a caste system and (b) constant competition in a natural selection context. This avoids getting overwhelmed by deleterious mutations through unchecked gene drift. We also must aspire to a goal of excellence (arete) as part of our pursuit of the transcendentals "the good, the beautiful, and the real." Aesthetics are important for making choices, and reflect our genetics; nature is both relativistic and consistent, which means that we know only what our genetics allow us to know, and this informs the decisions that we make.
3. Positive reward systems: this means no socialism, wealth redistribution, unions, or other negative reward systems; instead of trying to bring people up to equality by pulling down others, we reward the good, remove the bad, and leave everyone in the middle alone. If they do no harm... do as thou wilt. This includes hard eugenics to remove those who are defective and dangerous to normal people -- insane, "homeless," criminal, promiscuous, retarded -- through exile. A rapist at age 15 is not going to change his stripes, so instead of judging by laws we should assess people quality and remove those incompatible with healthy life for our people.
4. A transcendental goal: we cannot allow material goals (means-over-ends) to overshadow our goal of constant improvement in mind, body, and soul as individuals and as a civilization. Transcendental goals mean accepting nature as it is, both "good" and "bad," and finding a way to adapt and thrive by maximizing the patterns of nature. We are not here to avoid suffering or tragedy, but to make sure our lives are moving toward fulfilling ends, and we accept that bad things will happen and every person has a different destiny. Some are born to sweet delight, and some are born to the endless night.
My philosophy involves two novel concepts, #Crowdism and #Parallelism.
* Crowdism states that all human groups bond on the lowest common denominator, which is fear, so they self-censor mentions of what they fear, and by artificially narrowing their mental maps, create a world of #symbolism which drifts farther from reality whether endorsed or opposed through the #HegelianStepladder in which reactions to a first mover idea end up affirming it. This is a form of survivorship bias, since we are reacting to other reactions instead of going back to the roots of perception, analysis, imagination, and intuition to understand our world.
This means that dualism, socialism, and other forms of individualism are inherent to the individual and amplified by the group. There are no evils manipulating us, only our own error; our enemy is stupidity and anti-realism which we are prone to because we get stronger/clearer signals from our own desires and other people communicating through tokens, language, and symbols than we do from the murky and gritty flood of details that is reality.
* Parallelism says that nature creates in parallel between all possible forms. Notably, thought, material, energy, and pattern are parallel, which means that changes in each reflect the other. Past and future are parallel (cyclic). Different groups evolve in parallel but unevenly because they are relative to one another and also to the whole, which means that a condition like "objectivity" but more accurately described as logical consistency exists. Different individuals learn about life in parallel, a process known as esotericism, and until they have learned the precursors for an idea, it is invisible to them and they will oppose it through a variation on the #DunningKrugerEffect.
In politics, parallelism means that each ethnic group seeks its own autonomy, homeland, and self-determination of its composition and future. That negates the assumptions of goodness behind both colonialism and anti-colonialism. Each group must follow its own path, which only it can define, and dwell alone, so that it can pursue its unique destiny. We see the proof of this in constant friction created by diversity (having more than one ethnic group in a society) in areas like Kosovo, Northern Ireland, Catalan, and Rwanda. Parallelism and culture-rule state that only mono-ethnic societies have a change to survive; diversity forces each group to act for its own interests against the other groups, and will eventually destroy them through #traceadmixture which replaces the original group with a hybrid. Ethnic diversity is genocide.
I offer up further observations:
1. Reality is the only morality. "Might is right," sure, but strength does not determine what thrives in the long term. I reject all symbolism and emotion as parts of the analysis or decision process. Reality alone is consistent and whole (and we are relative to the whole as well as each other) and so the only moral decisions that can be made are based in #consequentialism or measuring the effects on reality instead of our judgments, desires, and sensations in reaction to it.
2. While I am a flaming ethno-nationalist who endorses mono-ethnic societies to avoid genocide, I know good people from every religion, tribe, race, culture, ethnicity, and social class. To protect each group, ethno-nationalism is required. My position is not adversarial to these groups, but nor is it opposed to recognizing #humanbiodiversity (#hbd) and the variations between groups, which are genetic in origin and not "culture" in the sense modern people use the term (political culture, laws, and conflict-avoiding socializing strategies).
3. Half Earth cures all of our environmental problems and nothing else does a damn thing, so all other environmental activism should be discarded.
4. Natural Rights are much better than civil rights (called "human rights" in an international context) because civil/human rights create a government interest in all interactions public and private. That leads to big government, then scientific management, the managerial-administrative state, and finally tyranny when the bureaucracy represents its interests against those of its population.
5. Eugenics is necessary to ensure genetic health. This continues #naturalselection in a civilizational context by removing threats to those who will thrive. It cannot exist in a poly-ethnic context because standards are not common to multiple ethnic groups, and this will unfairly and unwisely disadvantage (a) whatever group gets the worst of this and (b) both groups by forcing an averaging of standards.
6. We seek proaction not reaction as individuals, tribes, and species. We need transcendental goals or we are merely reacting to stimulus including solipsistic stimulus from our own brains including emotions, judgments, peer pressure, and desires. Humanity is evolving out of a monkeylike past in which individualism ruled and people did whatever triggered the strongest stimulus-response, to one in which we "think of as all" per Roky Erickson.
I build my political construct within the work of Plato and Fred Nietzsche. It is parts libertarian, monarchist, traditionalist, and futurist, hence the term #futuristtraditionalism that I use to describe it.
I oppose #DEADS:
* #Democracy (one form of #demotism which prioritizes number of responses over quality of responses; #aristocracy and #monarchism are the only functional forms of leadership, since the State -- oligarchy, democracy, dictatorship, junta, military rule -- is based on methods not goals, and finding agreement on those goals and moving affirmatively toward them as individuals & group is the foundation of all human thriving)
* #Equality (as well as #equity, which is a form of equality: a condition of equality is only "proven" to egalitarians when equity exists, and nature does not "do" equity, instead prefers infinite textural variation as a way to maintain a cycle of selectionism that favors quality over repetition)
* #Atomization (#individualism, #deracination, #socialmobility, bureaucracy dominating over culture; when culture is deposed, ideology/government, bureaucracy/management, commerce, and peer pressure take over).
* #Diversity (it is genocide through Rotherham-style rape as a weapon of warfare, constant ethnic conflict, and eventually genetic replacement through outbreeding).
* #Socialism (and all wealth #redistribution programs, which take from the capable and give to the incapable, who then per the #DunningKrugerEffect (#DKE) are unable to wield that power, wealth, energy, and focus and waste them on trivialities.
I reject the following as well
* #APE (#altruism, #pacifism, #empathy: methods used by sociopaths and psychopaths to manipulate us)
* #Individualism (in philosophy, the "ism" means "this thing above and before all else," and implies a centrality of it to thinking, which means a rejection of reality in favor of the individual; neurotics seek to dominate and destroy nature, culture, and others who rise above the mediocre minimum because those things are threats to their #solipsism or unwillingness to change #mentalmap based on new stimulus or analysis)
* #MeansOverEnds thinking (if per consequentialism something produces better results, "by any means necessary" #EndsOverMeans analysis is required; #MeansOverEnds produces the problem of Crowdism, or bonding on the lowest common denominator of negativity and therefore, to maintain a pleasant mental state, excluding those ideas by disallowing methods related to them, for example in pacifism refusing to fight to save your family or nation)
* #Consensus reality (as a nihilist -- "Nihilists decline to accept the consensual collective hallucination that there exist objective, universal, and absolute/categorical forms of truths, values, and communications" -- I find it to be illogical)
Influential thinkers:
Francis Galton, Charles Darwin, Madison Grant, Arthur Schopenhauer, Marcus Aurelius, Michel Houellebecq, Friedrich Nietzsche, Julius Evola, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Plato, Pentti Linkola, Ted Kaczynski, Mike Davis, W.S. Burroughs, Aldous Huxley, Lothrop Stoddard, Carleton Coon, Barbara Pym, Fred Nietzsche, Marcus Aurelius, Paul Gottfried, Richard Spencer, Peter Brimelow, Jared Taylor, Jane Austen, John Muir, John Zerzan.
Popular Culture:
1. "Be excellent to each other." - Bill and Ted
2. "Sodomize the weak." - Blood
3. "Think of as all." - Roky Erickson
4. "You get what you give." - Deicide
5. "There are no easy answers to the problems that we face, history's a lesson, let us learn by our mistakes." - Kurt Brecht
6. "One law for the ox and the raven is tyranny." - William Blake
7. "The sick must die." - Nguy Lamont Hughs
8. "With every mistake, we must surely be learning." - George Harrison
9. "Life is suffering." - Siddhartha
If you combine these, you end up with a reasonable realistic and yet optimistic outlook on imperfect life. As Paul Ledney says, there is no perfection or purity because these would be boring, like eating an infinite donut on a soft fluffy cloud in the "prosperity gospel" vision of Heaven. Heaven is more appropriately Nibbana, a state of mind which carries between before-life, current life, and afterlife, but requires effort and escaping solipsism.
Religion
To my mind, religions are vocabularies for discussing philosophical concepts about the interaction between physical and metaphysical dimensions of our reality. As a result, I embrace #perennialism, which says that religions share a common understanding of the metaphysical; it does not say that all religions are the same, are "equal" (equality does not exist in nature because equality is the opposite of quality, or degree of texture to reality) or any other such Unitarian or universalist dogma. It says they found the same truths. Religiously, I am a Platonist who borrows extensively from Greco-Roman beliefs, occultism, and Luciferian ideals.
Mission:
I seek a traditional society in unison with parallels between nature, biology, and the divine.
Metal:
I also write about a variant of heavy metal music known as "underground metal," splitting into subgenres like death metal, black metal, grindcore, doom metal, speed metal, and thrash. The creator of the oldest and longest-running metal website, Death Metal Underground, as well as its precursor from early web, BBS, and FTP days, the Dark Legions Archive, I have been writing about metal on AEs through the internet since the late 1980s. I endorse a philosophy called "hessianism" which bases an aesthetics of affirmative, positive realism upon recognition of the necessity of entropy and therefore, a #hedonicimperative to make life pleasurable and epic instead of trying to avoid suffering.

* #Consensus reality (as a nihilist -- "Nihilists decline to accept the consensual collective hallucination that there exist objective, universal, and absolute/categorical forms of truths, values, and communications" -- I find it to be illogical)

Popular Culture:
1. "Be excellent to each other." - Bill and Ted
2. "Sodomize the weak." - Blood
3. "Think of as all." - Roky Erickson
4. "You get what you give." - Deicide
5. "There are no easy answers to the problems that we face, history's a lesson, let us learn by our mistakes." - Kurt Brecht
6. "One law for the ox and the raven is tyranny." - William Blake
7. "The sick must die." - Nguy Lamont Hughs
8. "With every mistake, we must surely be learning." - George Harrison
9. "Life is suffering." - Siddhartha
If you combine these, you end up with a reasonable realistic and yet optimistic outlook on imperfect life. As Paul Ledney says, there is no perfection or purity because these would be boring, like eating an infinite donut on a soft fluffy cloud in the "prosperity gospel" vision of Heaven. Heaven is more appropriately Nibbana, a state of mind which carries between before-life, current life, and afterlife, but requires effort and escaping solipsism.
Religion
To my mind, religions are vocabularies for discussing philosophical concepts about the interaction between physical and metaphysical dimensions of our reality. As a result, I embrace #perennialism, which says that religions share a common understanding of the metaphysical; it does not say that all religions are the same, are "equal" (equality does not exist in nature because equality is the opposite of quality, or degree of texture to reality) or any other such Unitarian or universalist dogma. It says they found the same truths. Religiously, I am a Platonist who borrows extensively from Greco-Roman beliefs, occultism, and Luciferian ideals.
Mission:
I seek a traditional society in unison with parallels between nature, biology, and the divine.
Metal:
I also write about a variant of heavy metal music known as "underground metal," splitting into subgenres like death metal, black metal, grindcore, doom metal, speed metal, and thrash. The creator of the oldest and longest-running metal website, Death Metal Underground, as well as its precursor from early web, BBS, and FTP days, the Dark Legions Archive, I have been writing about metal on AEs through the internet since the late 1980s. I endorse a philosophy called "hessianism" which bases an aesthetics of affirmative, positive realism upon recognition of the necessity of entropy and therefore, a #hedonicimperative to make life pleasurable and epic instead of trying to avoid suffering.
