However, it may have something to offer our ongoing conversations around racist and sexist abuse here on the Fedi. We, too, are a peer network, where many of us may act as hosts or guests at alternating moments. Do we have, or can we create, structural incentives directed specifically at seld-commodification that counteract the slide into abusive behaviours?

The US is UGLY. How did this happen? How did we get this suburban sprawl that we all have to live with today? And what can we do to improve our communities? Turns out it's lots of money, PR, and, you guessed it, racism. Let's talk about it.

Exploiting wo/man's best friend
"There has also been an increase in people buying cute-looking flat-faced dogs such as French bulldogs, which are often beset by health challenges. Data consistently shows Frenchie dogs and pups are the most advertised breed for sale. Sadly, it is often the RSPCA that has to step in when the inevitable costs and vet bills for these animals mount up, and the novelty wears off. Abandonment incidents reported to the RSPCA in 2022 were up by 24% on the previous year...Increased legislation has a key role to play in protecting vulnerable animals from exploitation."

The commons are under threat. Commodifying information commons, such as cloud computing, undermines the potential of peer production and democratic participation. Rethinking the legal and economic frameworks governing the digital commons is essentail.

So, I’m trying to define the device. Is it a #fetish, a #muse, a #MacGuffin, a #redHerring, a #philosophersStone, a #huntingBlind, an #f(x)? What device do you use to better observe the ineffable? As a quasi “throw away,” what duty have we to identify with it, serve it, thank it, or let it go? #writersBlock #themeBlock #commodification

Thankful for any examples that prove that wrong.
Following yoga related soc. media is painful for the reason of having to witness a rise in costly retreats across the Global South; increasingly accompanied with #greenwashing, everything from "responsible" business and tourism to "green" this and that.

14 followers · 3 posts · Server todon.eu12 years ago in Nagoya, a sufficient number of Parties resisted the #commodification of nature.
Now at #COP15, developed and developing countries both call for the same instruments that are a threat to biodiversity and people - in the hope that it will somehow bring them money: payment for ecosystem services, biodiversity offsets and credits, etc.
And they explicitely want money
from the "private sector" and
from "philantropists" such as Bezos. As if this were magic money trees who simple give - without their own agendas, obligations to shareholders etc.
COP15 feels like it's the end of the road, the end of a good tool that we have, but that now has been coopted beyond recognition.

In the cases explored in this volume, animals lead humans to rethink their relationship to animals by either blocking and/or allowing human commodification. https://brill.com/display/title/62155 #AnimalRights #Sentient #Beings #Commodification #Ethics #AnimalWelfare
