Alx ๐ (alx@mastodon.design)'s status on Monday, 12-Feb-2024 17:45:46 JST Alx ๐ As I woke up with the outrageous news that #Israel was bombing #Rafah exactly at the exact time of the Superbowl where a Pro-Israeli ad was broadcast, I reached my tipping point.
The fact that we are in such a low point that the discussion for allowing this massacre to continue revolves around establishing if this is "genocide" or simply a "slaughter", as if the latter is somehow justifiable, it's simply unbearable.#Design community, raise your voice:

Alx ๐ (alx@mastodon.design)'s status on Saturday, 27-Jan-2024 02:51:55 JST Alx ๐ @aral well, the EU has already said it expects Israel to comply immediately.
The Court could have done more, but I think that taking in South Africa's case, declaring that Israel might be committing genocide is a big blow for Israel. It's not a historical victory, but still a win for South Africa and the official acknowledgement that Palestinians as a people exist and the ICJ must protect them.
It's a tiny progress, but still a progress. -

Alx ๐ (alx@mastodon.design)'s status on Thursday, 19-Oct-2023 18:30:18 JST Alx ๐ @aral Gosh, Israelis politicians' comments day after day sometimes make me think they were just waiting for a terrorist attack so that they could go rogue and having a moral excuse for it.

Alx ๐ (alx@mastodon.design)'s status on Thursday, 19-Oct-2023 18:30:10 JST Alx ๐ @be @aral I've seen the news, and going full conspiratorial is easy. Information at the moment is so murky I prefer not to make statements, also out of respect of all the people mourning and being affected by the situation. I prefer not to believe that a govmt will allow something so tragic to happen just so they can have their cleansing war. But I alos think it's clear that the level of Isrealis politicians' talking doesn't help people thinking otherwise.

Alx ๐ (alx@mastodon.design)'s status on Thursday, 14-Sep-2023 23:02:20 JST Alx ๐ I found today that there are some downside in being mostly in this amazing ad-free space that the #fediverse is. I check my Facebook account everyday for notification-only, as many people still use it sometimes to get in touch with me. Today, casually, I decided to scroll. And OMG.

Alx ๐ (alx@mastodon.design)'s status on Thursday, 14-Sep-2023 23:02:18 JST Alx ๐ Not only 90% are ads (and encouragement to join their dating app!), but a large part of them are scams. And tbh, one almost got me, as my 'alert' sense seems to be duller by not having to constantly double-check every post.
Which, I mean, from one POV, it's great: between being mostly in the fedi and all ad-blockers and browser full privacy on, my current web experience is almost smooth (still need to deal with search ads and some that apparently escape)#scam #facebook #ads #CyberSecurity

Like, let's play a game on who has the worst COVID vaccination policies: and for once, no, it's not the US -

Alx ๐ (alx@mastodon.design)'s status on Thursday, 07-Sep-2023 04:52:38 JST Alx ๐ Anyone else feels like we need to delete the label 'carbon-neutral' from any sustainability vocabulary because, well, it's an enormous, gigantic lie whose only purpose is to shield business-as-usual and to make individuals feel good without them having to engage in any meaningful substancial change?

Alx ๐ (alx@mastodon.design)'s status on Monday, 04-Sep-2023 22:49:47 JST Alx ๐ @aral the old good American exceptionalism that the Americans love so much. Like when they need to explain Russian colonialism to Ukrainians and Eastern Europeans, or monopolising the race critical discourse only through the lens of American BIPOC, dismissing altogether how racism, imperialism, and orientalism manifest in many way in other part of the world with different histories.
All my solidarity to you, Aral. There is nothing worst that being lectured by people who claim are allies. -
