Mix Mistress Alice💄<a href="https://pubeurope.com/@europesays" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@europesays</a> Always more apps and digitalization; always less genuine human support. Fuck that. A good education teaches not to be a bystander, to be responsive against cruelty, so kids and other targets won't have to seek recourse in some apps. <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/bullying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bullying</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/bullies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bullies</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/digitalisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitalisation</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/disengagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disengagement</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/bystanders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bystanders</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/apps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apps</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/unresponsiveness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unresponsiveness</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#software</a> vs <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/support" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#support</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/genuinesupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#genuinesupport</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/teachers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teachers</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/responsibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#responsibility</a>

demi7en 🎗🇪🇺<a href="https://eupolicy.social/@AliceStollmeyer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@AliceStollmeyer</a> A multi-generational ally (now a hostile elected autocracy!) stabbing Europe in the back is truly something for the history books.Yet, talking about chasing, most European states are *still* individually seeking to further deepen their economic entanglement with the Chinese dictatorship hostile to *all* of our fundamental values. 🤯That equation is — and always was — not only absurd and ridiculous, but it is the absolute antithesis to "democratic resilience".Before we choose to acknowledge and address the truly foundational threats to democracy worldwide, all else is akin to building sandcastles on a beach near a key PRC-operated shipping port... 🤷🏻‍♂️ <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/EuropeanUnion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EuropeanUnion</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PRC</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CCP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CCP</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/china" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#china</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/disengagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disengagement</a>

WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/taylor-barbara-brown/49305/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from Barbara Brown Taylor</a><blockquote>I know that the Bible is a special kind of book, but I find it as seductive as any other. If I am not careful, I can begin to mistake the words on the page for the realities they describe. I can begin to love the dried ink marks on the page more than I love the encounters that gave rise to them. If I am not careful, I can decide that I am really much happier reading my Bible than I am entering into what God is doing in my own time and place, since shutting the book to go outside will involve the very great risk of taking part in stories that are still taking shape. Neither I nor anyone else knows how these stories will turn out, since at this point they involve more blood than ink. The whole purpose of the Bible, it seems to me, is to convince people to set the written word down in order to become living words in the world for God’s sake. For me, this willing conversion of ink back to blood is the full substance of faith.</blockquote>Barbara Brown Taylor (b. 1951) American minister, academic, author Leaving Church: A Memoir of Faith, Part 1 (2006) Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/taylor-barbara-brown/49305/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/taylor-barbara-brown…</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=belief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#belief</a>, Bible <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=disengagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disengagement</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=engagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#engagement</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=faith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#faith</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=life" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#life</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reading</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=reality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reality</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=story" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#story</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=study" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#study</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=wordsanddeeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wordsanddeeds</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=world" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#world</a>
