Participating in this innovation sprint made us *even* more excited about what tokenised deposits could mean for the humanitarian aid sector.

I've had three calls in the last two days with my bank to confirm a simple ACH. And it still hasn't happened. Tell me again why stablecoin payments are just a solution in search of a problem?

20/ We can point fingers and argue about meme coins, but that absolutely misses the point Meme coins are not the problem - our current market structure is Here's to unfucking our current market and going back to our democratic roots🥂

Basically, y'all need to hear that flipping the switch from, "[x] bad" to, "[x] good," is not enough. You need to completely dismantle your white supremacist understanding of others and rebuild it with the acknowledgement that they're every bit as real and complex as you.
This is getting too general. tl;dr: The main point of this thread is that the mentality of forcing perfect victimhood onto marginalized groups to the point of denying their agency to form hierarchies within themselves is an element of dehumanization that we practice on animals.
This is the inherent problem with any political prescription short of anarchy/total liberation. If your ideal world ISN'T literally perfect, you're implicitly defining a threshold of acceptable systemic oppression at which we can stop trying to make things better.
Not being able to properly identify a source of oppression makes it very difficult, or even impossible, to dismantle that oppression. If you're only targeting one specific hierarchy, you won't be equipped to keep pushing for change after it's gone.
But for whatever reason it doesn't get called out nearly as often as it should. People actively make it harder to advocate for liberation, not just of marginalized groups from hegemonic groups, but also of those who are marginalized WITHIN their own communities.
There seems to be this obsession with forcing marginalized groups to be perfect victims, as if anything less would somehow make them undeserving of liberation from white supremacy and other hierarchical structures. And that's just, like, wholly ahistorical & straight-up racist.
Ten years ago, on behalf of APS, Ling Miao and I opened Physical Review X for submissions. We could only dream that it would become the most impactful original research open access journal covering all of physics. Iended in 2016, but it keeps going strong. Congrats! @PhysRevX
24 years ago, I fell in love with my best friend. 20 years ago, I married him. Happy 20th Anniversary @vellumhill - loved you then, love you still, always have, always will.
@Loster At least I'm consistent :). I've looked at some of the papers he cites. His statements are refuted literally in the abstracts of those papers. At best, he bends the research to suit his narrative, at worst he makes shit up..
Kind of weird but oddly satisfying how someone that I thought was a massive prick 20 years ago is now thought of as a massive prick by countless other people.

For real, all of you have my eternal gratitude for embarking on this wild adventure with me. It's been a ride with wild ups and downs so far and I'm wishing for slightly calmer seas going forward.
@EcoTechBro Right yeah, *Marx* and anarchism align. *ML*s have fallen for the all too common trap of "but you see if *we* have the power, surely things will go differently than it has every other time. I'm built different and can resist the temptation"
Shameful to be shaking the blood shedded hands of junta and making it a news. Asking the snake that bit to suck out the poison from the wound is as if allowing to add more poison to the wound. We will not forget which UN and IO stood which side of history.
Naypyitaw is a military fortress from which an illegal junta - not recognised as the government by any UN body and with no status at all at the UNGA - commands daily massacres and widespread sexual violence against members of the public demanding basic rights and democracy.
Which of Naypyitaw's 500 infantry battalions full of trained rapists are you hoping to "partner" with to deliver "gender-based violence response services". Go work for a bank and get some strong sleeping pills, you mindless shill. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
