trying to communicate with computers using natural language instead of learning the language of the computer aka. #promptEngineering #chatgpt is the mindset of #collonialism and #culturalappropriation

in my opinion it's also a super lame way of #programming

#CapitalismIsKillingYou #Gimmick: outbreaks of #conflict or even #violence are never far from the surface… hijacked by political #opportunists and #demagogues… unveiled as a tussle to establish “purer” standards… In the elevation of the risqué and the substituting of art with entertainment there is also a blurring of the distinction between the sacred and the profane.

#culturalappropriation

@cannaclub does it matter that #Dutchie was founded by a couple of #WhiteGuys who figured out another way to appropriate and #benefit from the #Black #culture

Why would it? It brings you #engagement, right?

Who owns you?🧐

For bonus points, do you know which #race is the most #persecuted and #prosecuted for #cannabis? #ChewOnThat

#Portland's iconic institution now must reckon with its own cultural approproation problem.

( #CulturalAppropriation , a deceptively simple concept, is not centered on respecting tradition, or reproducing authenticity, or loving noodles and dumplings. At least for #diaspora folks living as minorities in the West, it is about surviving in a battleground for — as crass as it sounds — who gets to profit off of our ancestors’ culture as much as the next white creator who is respectful — or not.)

Woke Racism? (Satire)

Most people who say they’re “woke” are actually racist―according to their own rules. Here’s why!

Алёна Репкина, «Улей», 2023 ⦾ Если я правильно понял замысел художницы, всем, кто увидел в скульптуре культурную апроприацию ганских визуальных практик, нужно подойти и воспользоваться подвешенными свистками.

"Specific instances of what people criticize as cultural appropriation may well be wrong, but the term encourages us to call out a property crime when something else is going on... The key question in the use of symbols or regalia associated with another identity group is not: What are my rights of ownership? Rather it’s: Are my actions disrespectful?"

We were a bit perturbed at one point at Burford Garden Centre because it looked like the buying team may have unwittingly bought an entire village of wattle and daub houses from somewhere in the depths of West Africa, evicted the inhabitants and then turned them into Avant Garde lamp shades...

Oh dear...

🧵 2/Indian Cooking Class/Christine Manfield ⬆️

(cont.) To the recipes. Honestly, I think had hoped that this book does not have the "cons" of her Tasting India book - at least I had my fingers crossed. But see below.

There are recipes that jump out - Kashmiri Tomato Salad, eg. How simple this is but how divine. I do wish she had included the Indian names of dishes in the titles. Its a black mark 🙅‍♀️ to not do so. #CulturalAppropriation . The names can appear in her introductory text, but I don't think that is good enough. THE INDIAN NAMES DO NOT FEATURE IN THE INDEX.

Another example of this is the recipe called Scrambled Cheese - NOT Scrambled Paneer, nor Paneer Bhurji. The recipe is not indexed under paneer.

I don't want to go on. If I can find such fundamental errors in a browse of the book, I can only imagine how it impacts those new to Indian cooking.

There are many dishes in this book that look so inviting, honestly. But the book is let down by some fundamental things.

So use at your own risk, and perhaps use for inspiration. The recipes indeed might be accurate, and many of the recipes are simple enough that the chance of error is low. Recipes are marked as GF or V where appropriate.

OK, Y'all, it's #PrideMonth! Here's your annual reminder that when dressing up for Pride, please do not wear #native or native themed headdresses or other native imagery or apparel unless YOU are native (then do what is appropriate for your culture). Doing so is #CulturalAppropriation. Celebrate, have fun, #Respect others.

YouTuber #RebalD has some important points about the #Netflix "documentary" #QueenCleopatra I can agree with: https://youtu.be/jwv_cIm2RRY
Two of his points were not clear to me until now:
1. Since #Cleopatra belonged to a dynasty of #Macedonian-#Greek origin, she was not only not Black, but also a quasi-#colonial ruler.
2. Because Egyptian history is reinterpreted by outsiders in a way that denies contemporary Egyptians part of their identity, it is #CulturalAppropriation.

No, #CulturalAppropriation is not really a thing.

Learn to share.

We're all human and we will all eventually learn to share like mature beings.
