the most visible example of solarpunk praxis I’m seeing is visitors wearing respirators to keep their loved ones safe from COVID and also the other patients. people forget that being hospitalized is an immunocompromising condition to be in.

I’m afraid hospitals are systemically and ideologically incompatible with solar punk.
getting together with other medics and starting neighborhood clinics however would be much easier than attempting reform from the inside.
also stuff like DIY medicine, it would help me greatly as a trans person if medics stopped policing medical knowledge and taught us their skills instead. the idea that medicine can only be safe if practiced with a license is one that’s getting countless trans people killed because we’re denied the autonomy to save ourselves. the major example is DIY estrogen being safe but most doctors would tell me succumbing to a dysphoria-induced suicide is the healthier option

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•42-yr-old pedestrian in crosswalk almost hit by car. He kicks the car. The driver pulls out a gun and shoots the pedestrian.English
1511·19 days agoit’s impossible not to call it a car issue. cars function as weapons against pedestrians, that’s why car murders are illegal but almost never carry the same sentence as shooting someone despite sometimes being more lethal than a handgun.
also calling gun violence an American phenomenon is a European’s way to soothe their own egos despite Germany frequently having lynchings by gun caused by Nazi cops. there’s a reason why BLM didn’t remain contained to USA and sparked massive uprisings in Europe

because there’s a universal blockade by the genocidal Israeli state on the Palestinian people both in Gaza and the West Bank. that’s what the apartheid wall is for. that’s what the segregated roads are for. a state’s currency can only exist if the state is autonomous, not the other way around. otherwise they’d just be printing origami paper

arguing that he isn’t a christian is effectively a no true Scotsman argument. the US constitution was based on the doctrine of discovery which was derived from the papal bulls. if you’re arguing the papal bulls are unchristian that’s your prerogative but most Christians sects still practice said colonial doctrine.

hey, sounds like you’re coming from a mad pride perspective based on the “toxic chemicals” rhetoric.
as a mad person myself, I don’t believe using unscientific language like that helps us achieve liberation. whether something is toxic depends on dosage, circumstance and context. for example, regardless if estrogen saved my life, administering it to a trans man in the same dosage I use would probably kill him. can you see how me calling a certain medicine toxic because it killed someone even would be taking things out of context?
chemicals are value-neutral, and making this association between something being chemical and something being harmful and “artificial” can easily lead to ableist policy like MAHA.
thank you for reading thus far and hopefully this is not taken as an attack on you ❤️
