Keep Karlsruhe Boring...<p><strong>Gegen die Sparmaßnahmen der Stadt Karlsruhe!</strong></p> <p>Marktplatz, Tuesday, June 24 at 04:00 PM GMT+2</p><p>Die Stadt Karlsruhe will am Dienstag weitreichende Sparmaßnahmen im Haushalt für das Jahr 2025 abstimmen. Diese Maßnahmen werden vor allem uns Frauen treffen. Streichungen bei öffentlichen Geldern für Hebammen und die Abschaffung der Beitragsbefreiung für Geschwisterkinder. Gleichzeitig soll auch in anderen sozialen Bereichen gespart werden, wie in der Schulsozialarbeit oder bei Hilfe für Menschen mit Behinderung. Auch hier sind es meistens wir Frauen, die diese Lücken füllen müssen. Wir machen da nicht mit!</p><p>Komm zur Kundgebung gegen die Sparmaßnahmen und schicke diese Nachricht an drei deiner Freund*innen weiter!</p> <p><a href="https://keepkarlsruheboring.org/event/gegen-die-sparmassnahmen-der-stadt-karlsruhe" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">keepkarlsruheboring.org/event/</span><span class="invisible">gegen-die-sparmassnahmen-der-stadt-karlsruhe</span></a></p>
WYM Mod<p>Are liberals misreading Trump supporters? This commentary critiques their belief that economic hardship will sway votes. It argues that cultural identity and assumptions drive GOP loyalty among white Americans, revealing a distorted understanding of self-interest. The author suggests that the optimism of white liberals is outdated, and real change requires confronting deeper societal issues instead of expecting minds to change easily. For further context, see the original commentary [here](<a href="https://www.alternet.org/alternet-exclusives/trump-voters-psychology/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">alternet.org/alternet-exclusiv</span><span class="invisible">es/trump-voters-psychology/</span></a>). <a href="https://mastodon.vtip.me/tags/TrumpSupporters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpSupporters</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.vtip.me/tags/PoliticalIdentity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalIdentity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.vtip.me/tags/CulturalPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalPolitics</span></a></p>
Julian D 🏳️‍🌈 #FBPE #RejoinEU<p>Economic decline alone doesn’t explain the rise of the far right. Cultural anxiety fuels support: discomfort with immigration, gender roles, and social liberalism play a big part. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RightWingPopulism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RightWingPopulism</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CulturalPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CulturalPolitics</span></a></p>
Jonathan Emmesedi<p>I am not a Christian, but I do urge those who are not to allow conservative evangelicals' use of the unqualified term "Christian" to pass unchallenged.</p><p>In the USA - and quite possibly in other parts of the world too - letting conservative evangelicals describe beliefs, practices, and polices either peculiar to themselves, or stridently right wing, or both as simply "Christian" is letting them get away with a propaganda victory, given the positive associations the term "Christian" still enjoys amongst large sections of the nonevangelical public. </p><p>PS: I'm well aware that theological conservatism does not always entail political conservatism, but that's a subject for another post.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Christianity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ConservativeEvangelicalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ConservativeEvangelicalism</span></a><br><a href="https://c.im/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CulturalPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalPolitics</span></a> <br><a href="https://c.im/tags/Conservatism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Conservatism</span></a></p>
Jonathan Emmesedi<p><a href="https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/diego-velazquez-the-immaculate-conception" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nationalgallery.org.uk/paintin</span><span class="invisible">gs/diego-velazquez-the-immaculate-conception</span></a></p><p>My son paid his first visit to London's National Gallery earlier today. He told me how much he liked the paintings by Velasquez, particularly "The Immaculate Conception"; he was struck by the unidealized naturalism of the Virgin's features.</p><p>I couldn't bring myself to ask him if he had seen the Rokeby Venus. My guess is that the damage inflicted on the glass by the Just Stop Oil protesters has not yet been repaired.</p><p>I posted a little while ago about how annoying I found this Just Stop Oil action and suggested that it was probably counterproductive as far as changing British public opinion is concerned.</p><p>On further reflection, I recognized that I was more than annoyed. I was upset and saddened by the readiness of "progressive" activists to destroy a major work of art held in trust not just for the citizens of the UK but for everyone. This act of vandalism is symptomatic of one of the most unattractive aspects of the British left, a sanctimonious philistinism noted by Matthew Arnold back in the 1860's as widespread amongst the British middle classes. The roots of this "progressive" philistinism could probably be traced back further, to the iconoclasm of Protestant zealots and early modern republican theorists inveighing against the corrupting power of luxury.</p><p>I strongly support decarbonization, moving from private to public transport, egalitarian redistributions of wealth and power, and extensive socialization of the economy - but the politics of the left should not entail or seem to entail a Taliban like assault on shared art, history, and pleasures both public and private.</p><p>(In case you're wondering, I don't think the 1914 slashing of the Rokeby Venus by suffragette and future fascist Mary Richardson is anything to celebrate either.)</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Velasquez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Velasquez</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NationalGallery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NationalGallery</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CulturalPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/RokebyVenus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RokebyVenus</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Progressivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Progressivism</span></a></p>

Keskeisimmät havainnot suomalaisesta apurahajärjestelmästä SARVin Apurahat, tunteet ja toiveet -seminaarista tänään:
• apurahajärjestelmä on keskittynyt
• todella erilaisia todellisuuksia samassa systeemissä
• järjestelmä on keskiluokkainen
• koronakriisissä kävi selväksi, että taiteen rahoitusjärjestelmä tehty instituutioiden ehdoilla
• koko homma pitää miettiä uudestaan ekologisen katastrofin edetessä
