A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

I was not even alive then, but I know what you are referring to. I am sorry for what you went thru. Way too many people today will never connect the dots. Mainly because they are not aware the dots exist.
Canβt make this up.

So after a couple of days of snooping around and butting into conversations, I guess it's #introduction time π
I'm originally from Singapore, but moved to Naarm (Melbourne, Australia) in 2004.
I have been in the hospitality industry for 18 years.
The last 12 of which have been spent in the kitchen as a chef. I post about #food a lot π
I also have a background in #Anthropology, #SocialTheory and #HumanNutrition.
Am currently in the middle of a #PhD in #Education - researching community #foodpedagogies as well as food education in #PublicHealth.
I am passionate about #SocialJustice, #FoodSecurity, #Decolonisation and dismantling systems that perpetuate division and inequity.
I am a #dancer, #SciFi geek, a novice gardener and have a regular #yoga practice.
Open to meet anyone and everyone. Excited to be here and looking forward to many amazing conversations and friendships! π

European Universities started β¦
.. leaving X
.. leaving X
#Universities in #Amsterdam, #Vienna, #Berlin, #Karlsruhe, #Aachen and other cities in Europe have left microblogging service X during the last week(s).
They justify this step with the systematic lack of moderation on the platform, which has resulted in a flood of hate speech, disinformation and cyberbullying.
Some of them have already started to run channels on Mastodon: @univienna, @tuberlin, @KIT_Karlsruhe, @UniOldenburg @unibremen, @freieuniversitaet, @UniUlm , @HTW_Berlin, @uni_paderborn.
X is not a suitable medium for communication in #research and #education. Help get the other #universities to follow suit and sign the petition
