I routinely see commonalities among advocacy groups for vulnerable populations - in healthcare, social support, fighting racism, climate change and more.

Too often these issues become siloed (usually by design) when they're part of the same fight.

Does anyone know of writers/ thinkers in this area that are looking at cross-sector collaboration, vulnerability theory, or related issues?

I'm thinking of starting some conversations/articles/podxasts in this area.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 296.

Jill Trevelyan's biography, Rita Angus: An artist’s life (2008/2020) celebrates a New Zealand artist, hardly known in Europe but a major influence on modernism in NZ. Trevelyan allows Angus to speak for herself a lot of the time, but also sets her into the context of the growing NZ art world well. Well-illustrated & unfussily written this is a great way of familiarising yourself with Angus's fascinating work.

"#NewZealand MPs who performed #haka in parliament given unprecedented punishment

#TePātiMāori co-leaders and youngest member to be temporarily suspended from #parliament after performance protesting controversial bill"

The bill in question (the #TreatyPrinciplesBill) wanted to reinterpret the #TreatyOfWaitangi (1840), which upholds #Māori rights

The bill was defeated

I think the proper response to a bullshit punishment for protecting #MāoriRights is a lot more hakas

BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.

THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

This state’s power prices are plummeting as it nears 100% renewables

South Australia is proving to the world that relying largely on wind and solar energy with battery back-up is incredibly cheap, with electricity prices tumbling by 30 per cent in a year and sometimes going negative

I don't understand this

#Germany's reckoning for #WWII was large

But #Japan's was not

Thus Japan continues to have issues on the topic

But it's just so fucking stupid. There's nothing to gain from an incomplete reckoning

It's just so nasty
