This article and interview do not I feel talk about searching for an identity though it certainly appears framed that way from the start.

The interviewer and subject talk about creating community spaces to explore shared values and learn how to be compassionate, caring people - in a safe space shorn of any dogma, doctrine, or guilt ...

Quotation from MISOGYNY AND THE FEMALE BODY IN DUNGEONS & DRAGONS by Aaron Trammel (2014)

"The problem that recurs in both of these historic examples of game systems is one that elevates the ideology of simulation above values of inclusivity, plurality, and compassion. Such pursuits of authentic recreations and representations of past histories (such as in historical reenactments) can be problematic for the ways in which they offer an airtight alibi for the reproduction of predominantly white, male, historical vignettes. But Crabaugh and Lakofka move this attitude regarding authenticity and simulation into worlds of fantasy where the alibi is lost (no longer is the reenactment about history)."

#JudgeChutkan Limits #Trump’s Ability to Share #Jan6 #Evidence

The federal #judge overseeing #Trump’s #prosecution on #charges of seeking to overturn the #2020election rejected his request on Fri to be able to speak broadly about #evidence & #witnesses.

During a 90-min #hearing in DC, Judge Tanya S. #Chutkan also warned she would take necessary “measures” to keep him from any attempt to #IntimidateWitnesses or #prejudice potential #jurors.

Well wasn’t this predictable. No, your child is not “traumatized” by seeing people of different races holding hands. This whole movement of #parents against #inclusivity and a #pluralistic and multiracial society in the name of protecting their children is really about protecting their #prejudice and #bigotry. #Children don’t naturally hate or fear different people. They might be curious, but they don’t have innate loathing of people who aren’t white, cis and straight. https://abc13.com/conroe-isd-trustee-melissa-dungan-racial-inclusivity-at-schools-pride-flags/13628737/

Racism in sexual/gender minority communities of color is associated with greater odds of recent and heavy alcohol and recent cannabis use, while heterosexism in the same racial/ethnic communities is associated with greater odds of recent cigarette and cigar use. Family support is associated with lower substance use.

With debates for presidential and other significant elections on the horizon, with all the current reversals of personal rights, how can people still believe that our government has the interests of the common person in mind?

"Bite the air in Britain and you can taste the racism, the homophobia, the sexism and all the prejudices that constitute the real cancel culture that pervades our society. It’s the thousand tiny cancellations people suffer daily not because of what they think or do, but because of what they are;"

A quotation from Chamfort, Nicolas:

«««««
It is safe to wager that every public idea and every accepted convention is sheer foolishness, because it has suited the majority.
[Il y a à parier que toute idée publique, toute convention reçue, est une sottise, car elle a convenu au plus grand nombre.]
