Vesper Moore's post, including this article by Stefanie Lyn Kaufman-Mthimkhulu vehemently supported by community members:
' We need more peer support and community response networks. We need to put power back into the hands of the people. We need the people most impacted to not only give input but to run and be responsible for the inception of all system services. We need those who are marginalized to take the lead in each community not out of expectation or tokenization but humanization.
βReplace the cops with mental health workers!β is a really well-intentioned statement, but the current mental health system is also a white-dominated, violent, coercive, and unaccountable structure that disproportionately harms people of color.β β Morgan M. Page '

' Cymraeg, or Welsh as its known in English, is, according to the last count, spoken by 23% of the population. Up until 1850, 90% of the population spoke Welsh, but it has since faced a great many challenges which at times almost led to its extinction.
Potentially up to 4,000 years old, Welsh is one of the oldest living languages in Europe. Welsh originates from the Celtic language spoken by the ancient Britons. Before the Roman invasion Celtic languages were spoken across Europe as far as Turkey. Celtic language came to Britain around 600BC, with one version evolving into Brythonic which formed the basis of Welsh, Cornish and Breton.
When the Anglo-Saxons colonised Britain, Brythonic speakers were split up into those in northern England speaking Cumbric, those in the south-west speaking an early version of Cornish, and those speaking primitive Welsh. The Welsh spoken in the 12th to 14th centuries, or Middle Welsh, is what the earliest surviving manuscripts of the Mabinogion, its famous literary collection, are written in, and it is a Welsh which speakers today can more or less understand.

A Brief History of the Welsh Language
Read all about the fascinating history of the very old language of Welsh, still an official language of Wales to this day.
' Would you be surprised if I told you that, far from being a land of monoglots, there are ten indigenous languages spoken today in the British Isles? Yet we are very quick to tell ourselves that we're rubbish at languages. We are linguistically isolated monoglots, marooned on a cluster of islands on the edge of the Atlantic. If we were in the mix of mainland Europe, we tell ourselves, we'd be blethering away in at least two languages.
Except, as you read this, people the length of these islands are using indigenous languages other than English to communicate with friends, family, teachers, colleagues and public services. That they are in the minority doesn't meant that they don't exist. In fact, the numbers of primary school-age speakers are growing; almost a quarter of school pupils in Wales are educated through the medium of Welsh, Northern Ireland is home to 30 Irish-medium schools, Scotland's capital has just opened a new, dedicated Gaelic school due to increasing demand, and the Isle of Man has a Manx-medium school.
All of these children are also fluent in English; indeed, in the case of Gaelic-medium pupils, they outperform their English-educated counterparts in English tests. Their bilingualism bucks the monoglot trend of the majority. '

Though EFC and we surely have our differences, his recent astrological piece describes the oft-invisible violence of traumatic robotization, highly relevant to recent network discussions.
' Mars Conjunct Chiron: The Initiation
We are about to experience the first Mars conjunction to Chiron in Aries. The most recent conjunction of Mars to Chiron occurred in late Pisces on Dec. 29, 2018, during Chiron's transition from Pisces to Aries. Mars and Chiron are conjunct about every two years, following the cycle of Mars.
I could say a lot about this aspect -- it's one of my favorites of the lot, inviting the full activation of Chiron by Mars. However, in Aries, this aspect has special meaning. That's because I consider Aries to be the scene of the crime where electrical technology has turned people into a swarm of tribal robots.
This aspect, exact July 14, can have a few possible manifestations. Under the best circumstances (balanced person, communicative environment), it's about the healthy and bold expression of individuality. Chiron's mission is to turn injuries and wounds into healing gifts. This happens over time, with experience and maturity.
Under less ideal circumstances, this aspect could provoke a deep feeling of injury, related to the sensation of loss of identity. As the McLuhans have noted, violence is an attempt to find one's identity. Total immersion in electrical technology, particularly digital technology, has gone a long way to deplete people's sense of being.
So this could also result in the eruption of aggression and conflict as associated with being clueless about one's actual reality -- which would be a misplaced attempt to "find oneself." I guess we have to resort to desperate measures after living online for 20 years -- that makes anything and everything in the physical world too dangerous to even consider.
In the end, that is what we're experiencing with this whole virus thingie: the reason it's the result of digital consciousness is not just that it's been amplified and distorted by social media and 24-hour news feeds, which make it impossible to tell which way is up, unless you work with a research team.
The real crisis is that from the cool, clean, and most of all disembodied standpoint of the digital universe, anything pertaining to the body is diseased and disgusting. And that has taken us a long way from home. '

βAt electric speeds, we, not messages, are sent. It is an old observation that on the phone or on the air you are in more than one place at a time, minus the physical body that you once used to define identity. The cybernaut abandons his body and physical identity and self (including gender) whenever he embarks on each trek into cyberspace. The conditions for disorientation are complete: out of body, out of time, out of space.β
