As a child in #Vietnam , Thao’s mother often rescued #ants from bowls of sugar water. Years later they would return the favour.

Boat People is an #animated #documentary that uses a striking metaphor to trace one family’s flight across the turbulent waters of history.

In the fall of 1985, a small group of #Haida people stood on a muddy #logging road on #LyellIsland —and refused to move. What followed was a landmark act of peaceful #resistance that helped spark a nationwide reckoning around land, #sovereignty and #environmental #justice. Drawing from over a hundred hours of electrifying #archival footage, The Stand immerses us in the tension, #courage and quiet #humanity of that moment.

Directed by Christopher Auchter (Now Is the Time), the film honours the #Elders , #activists and supernatural spirits who helped shape a new future for the #HaidaNation — and for all of #Canada.

#MarkZuckerberg ‘s vision for #humanity is terrifying

Under his control, #Meta is putting #Facebook ’s & #Instagram ’s vast resources toward getting more of us to use their #ai #chatbots , consequences be damned. We’ve known that this push is ethically questionable — #bots like these can make us dumber, & fuel tragic delusions… #Reuters published bombshell reportingthat exposes #Zuckerberg and Meta as particularly bad administrators of the powerful new technology.

This feature-length #documentary reveals the unspoken truth about #war - it never really ends. #Archival images and personal stories portray the lingering devastation of war. Filmed on location in #Russia #France #Bosnia and #Vietnam the film features individuals involved in the cleanup of war: de-miners who risk their lives on a daily basis, psychologists working with distraught soldiers, and scientists and doctors who struggle with the contamination of dioxin used during Vietnam. Based on the Gelber Award-winning book by Donovan Webster, this film conveys the fact that war doesn't end when the fighting stops.

Look at that ceiling!

Nobody with aesthetic hopes of regency or palatial splendour can survive the tech requirements of a modern press briefing room, or the human instincts of its occupants.

...I mean what's up with the little shelf, right up at the top of the frame? I like to think everybody who uses this room has brought something to contribute to this little museum.

How is it that so many people who demand flexibility and accomodation from those around them are the absolute worst at extending such things to others?

I know plenty of people who have no fears of putting themselves into physical life/death situations to get adrenaline fixes & feed their egos. I know plenty of the same kind of fearless with physical adrenaline challenges, who are complete #cowards when it comes to speaking our for #humanity. The same folks don't do anything that's uncomfy or may upset their #StatusQuo lives.

They may be fearless in #selfish pursuits.
They are absolutely cowards when it comes to bigger than their #ego arenas.

The Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) is a political assembly representing political parties and organizations in North and East Syria. The SDC creates a political framework for the governance of Syria along a decentralized, federal model. It is the political body to which the SDF reports. It is also the political counterpart to the Autonomous Administration, which takes on more administrative and executive functions. Negotiations with the Syrian government, as well as diplomatic relations with international powers, are generally conducted through the SDC...
