@MaryOToole10 @StaffsPLOD @BDA_Deaf @DEAFvibe @ddeaflinks @SignHealth @ActionOnHearing It's an important distinction, so let's unpack it.
To check whether #Makaton is a natural #language like English or #BritishSignLanguage, let's ask a few questions:
To check whether #Makaton is a natural #language like English or #BritishSignLanguage, let's ask a few questions:
@MaryOToole10 @StaffsPLOD @BDA_Deaf @DEAFvibe @ddeaflinks @SignHealth @ActionOnHearing Are there any native signers of #Makaton? Is it possible for children to be born into a family that only or primarily uses Makaton to communicate in every possible scenario throughout their life?
@MaryOToole10 @StaffsPLOD @BDA_Deaf @DEAFvibe @ddeaflinks @SignHealth @ActionOnHearing Is #Makaton rich enough to express every human communication need, from education to work to philosophy to poetry? Or is it limited in its use?
For dharmic people to understand the adharmic, they would need to understand the following methods employed to keep Bharat poor : (thread)
Keeping India poor is advantageous for WEIRD nations (Western Educated Industrialized Rich Democratic)

1/ Ich finde es richtig, dass wir über #KulturelleAneignung (#CulturalAppropriation) reden - es gibt Situationen, in denen marginalisierte Gruppen darunter leiden, dass kulturelle Elemente von ihnen übernommen werden. Aber Dreadlocks bei Weissen gehören m.E. nicht dazu. 🧵
2/ Ein typisches Beispiel für problematische kulturelle Aneignung sind Kostüme "exotischer" Kulturen, mit denen Menschen auf das Stereotyp primitiver, wilder, rückständiger, unzivilisierter Völker reduziert werden. 
3/ Dreadlocks haben historisch u.a. eine antikolonialistische Konnotation (Rastafari-Bewegung in Jamaica), aber Dreadlocks wurden schon früher in anderen Kulturen getragen. Weisse, die Dreadlocks tragen, tun dies m.E. weder direkt noch indirekt rassistisch oder hämisch motiviert.
@VerBubbly @dhaval241086 @KaIIburgism Following are what wypipo put into motion to harm Bharat:
1. Destruction of indic knowledge systems and moving centres of higher ed into UK/US #Universities.
2. Creating the #OverpopulationMyth
3. #CulturalAppropriation and #patenting Indic ideas and traditions; selling it back.

@VerBubbly @dhaval241086 @KaIIburgism 4. Divide and Rule during and after colonisation
5. Creating chasms in society with physical and virtual lines like radcliffe lines, SC/ST /murderer caste and scholarships for Dalits not Brahmins
6. Mysterious deaths of Indian leaders and scientists who fought poverty in India

Thread: @RepJeremyGray. #Namaste! Thank you for being a voice of reason for this bill. Yes, #yoga has its roots and its tied to Hinduism. But, Hindus have never imposed their beliefs on anyone. So...1/n time.com/5946284/alabam…
...there is no need for people to be "allergic" to yoga, Namaste, mantras, chanting, Sanskrit words, etc. Hindus have shared yoga as a gift to make the world a more peaceful and harmonious place - something that is much needed in our society today. 2/n
Stripping "Namaste" away is an unfortunate attempt to de-link an indigenous practice from its roots and an example of #Culturalappropriation. We stand against such attempts and encourage people to acknowledge the roots while sharing in the benefits of this wonderful gift. 3/n
Hi all, if you are interested in social justice and the seemingly unending onslaught of events seems to do your head in. Here are some resources, hashtags and processes I've found helpful in keeping track of what is happening around us.
1. @Article14live has tracked #sedition cases between 2010-2010 in #India. @kunalpurohit provides an in-depth overview of the use of colonial laws to suppress dissent and active requests for rights in the country. #memoryproject
2. The #freespeechcollective has tracked arrests and detentions of #journalists in India between 2010-20. @geetaseshu's work has demonstrated that 40% of these took place in 2020. #memoryproject
Localized avatars to be more representative of the end user in each country. So cool @MinaMarkham #clarity2019 #localization #designsystems
. @MinaMarkham on her process for localizing styles for @SlackHQ in Japan:
1. Design research
2. First iteration of designing the webpage
3. Design with cultural elements
4. Hide animation unless you have JavaScript enabled in browser
Note: localize w/ extreme care #clarity2019

It's important to localize styles with extreme care, respect and cultural appreciation (not cultural appropriation).

Shame on @britishmuseum for plastering @bp_plc logos over its #Iraq exhibition. BP has extracted massive profits from the suffering of people in Basra (info: behindthelogos.org/iraq/)

In 2003, BP denied it had met the UK govt about Iraqi oil.
I obtained govt minutes of 3 meetings they had with ministers and senior officials in 6 months leading up to war. "Iraq is *the* big prospect. BP are desperate to get in there": fuelonthefire.org/documents#1458
More in my book!

Something that really is bothering me as a Moroccan Amazigh is that neither those accusing #Madonna of #culturalappropriation nor those defending her are actually talking about this headpiece and its history.
Read below for a little but real sneakpeek of it 👇

A lot of Berber headpieces are common to different Berber tribes from the same region or even from different regions.
This particular headpiece is only worn by one small confederation of Berbers called Ait Baamrane

They are found in the vicinity of the city of Sidi Ifni and composed by very few tribes and multiple clans. It is impossible for a Berber woman wearing this to be mistaken for a Berber from any other place by a fellow Berber.
The capitalist argument that there will always be a need for garbage-men and toilet cleaners, is very telling on the issue of racism. Racism is not just affecting the ones living next to us, but effects trans-nationally. #marxism #racism #capitalism #intersectionality
Racism is a cornerstone of outsourcing labor to the lower classes and the lower ethnicities both within the exploiting country, and outside in economically weaker countries. In capitalism, each economic class, ethnicity class, and sex class is assigned labor roles.
Racism serves to keep the people within and ethnicity class in their assigned labor roles. Just the same as misogyny serves to keep women in assigned labor roles (overlapping in ethnicity and the same sex).
