@Qi2Navet tu sais que je suis mĂšre duun jeune homme autiste, c'est une question qui me ravage les tripes depuis toujours.
En plus le grem , petit, était d'une angélique beauté... Blond chaud, frisé, poupin, il lui manquait que les ailes.
Je surveillai en permanence que quelqu'un essaie pas de les lui arracher.

(et puis bon il s'est passé un truc qui m'a rassurée quand à SA gestion des soucis, je raconterai ça plus tard)

Mais bon, le harcÚlement scolaire , le harcÚlement tout court, c'est un sujet pour moi depuis l'école primaire, y'a rarement un truc qui m'a foutu plus en colÚre.

Merci pour ce texte.

J'ai aussi fait pas mal de colo, mais eu la chance d'avoir des directeurices qui n'avaient pas ce genre """d'humour""", et donc les équipes avec qui j'ai bossé ne pratiquaient pas ce genre.

Par contre, j'ai du coup entendu pas mal d'histoires de """blagues""" faites par des anim', voire le directeur lui-mĂȘme aux jeunes dans d'autres colo. Et j'Ă©tais lĂ  en mode "mais what ? mais c'est pas ça une blague". đŸ€·

"Israel has bombed the home of prominent Gaza #journalist, Motasem A Dalloul. At least 10 are dead.

Israel is exterminating #journalism in Gaza, prior to enacting its final solution...

it was a “double-tap” strike by Israel. Hitting Dalloul’s family home then hitting the rescuers once they arrived.

It comes 24 hours after Israel assassinated the entire, remaining Al Jazeera crew in Gaza City."

In laboratory studies, the active component of honeybee venom rapidly killed two types of breast cancer cells that are particularly difficult to treat. Crucially, the toxin left healthy cells unharmed.

National treasure Miriam Margolyes isn’t afraid of speaking the truth. And amid the ongoing horrors of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians, the 84-year-old Jewish actress has invoked the wrath of Zionist genocide-supporters by calling them out.

Now, because she dared to highlight how Israeli war criminals are behaving in the same way as Nazis during the Holocaust, the pro-Israel lobby is out to cancel her.

“Gaza. I feel it particularly because I am Jewish. I know how much wickedness and cruelty were meted out to Jews in my lifetime. I was born in ’41 at the height of the Holocaust.


And so my heart is broken and I think the terrible thing I have to face is that Hitler won. He changed us. He made us like him.”

in reply to DisisdegueyđŸ”»PalestineActionđŸ‡”đŸ‡ž

I really hate this kind of reports. To promote the "importance" of someones profession is like giving the green light to the repression to go as far as they want with others. It is like some jobs are "good" and the citizen has a status and some others' jobs are nothing and they deserve to be repressed just because they don't have this kind of "professional status".
These kind of reports only impose a dichotomy (especially in the working class) which is productive for the power and the forces of repression.
We all should be more careful. Thanks for your efforts.

Rather than trying to keep teens off mostly harmless social media like TikTik and Facebook for fear they will run across bad content, the government needs to ban Nazi sites like X altogether. Existing hate speech laws would suffice once we get past the idea that Musk isn't a publisher. #auspol
in reply to John Quiggin

this might sound crazy but hear me out. Rather than embark on a ham fisted legislative and technological challenge we could start by getting the government to stop actively promoting it on every page of the public broadcasters website, and hopefully the entire profession of journalism might then at least pay lip service to the idea of self regulation by being principled about where they donate original content.
in reply to John Quiggin

Yes, I think many (not just “some”) would support this:
“the government needs to ban Nazi sites like X altogether. Existing hate speech laws would suffice”

It seems the US has no equivalent to our bans on hate speech etc - in place to protect people, especially vulnerable people.

It really does seem to be a jungle over there, in the US - but that’s no reason why it should be like that here in Australia & our near neighbours & friends.

Thanks for saying this so clearly. 🙂
