> the latest changes at NZ Herald owner NZME, including canning the jobs of dozens of journalist

mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/114

In my head, possibly confusing it with previous waves of news media job losses, I was thinking the number was in the hundreds. A subsequent listen to MediaWatch corrected that, to just about 40;

Technically this is about 3 dozen, which is still a lot of people losing their livelihood, but ...

One of my permaculture teachers says;

If you're not making any mistakes, you're not learning anything.

That really stuck with me. When I get things wrong - especially in areas I consider myself knowledgeable about - what I try to do is focus not on what I failed to do (be right), but what I did do (learn something).

I give myself props for having the humility to accept my human limitations, and the courage to transcend my current knowledge. I celebrate it (see the #MeaCulpa tag).

A while back someone told me an electric car was not a car, because it doesn't have a carburetor. So you have to call it an EV. I took him at his word. Then I was on a train and I said something to another passenger about the train car we were in. And I thought;

Maybe the word "car" isn't short for "carburetor", maybe it's short for "carriage"? So I checked. Yup;

Was that EV geek messing with me, or did it never occur to him?

Me:
> Stalin only joined WW2 because the Nazis had the hubris to attack the USSR

As I learned sometime after this, from Snyder's Yale lectures about the history of Ukraine, Stalin actually helped Hitler *start* WW2 by invading Poland with him, and occupying a big chunk of it. Strange that this isn't part of the popular narrative if WW2 history.

But my comment here is still fair if applied only to why they started fighting the Nazis.

About the illustration with the raccoon and the guillotine.

As @lhaulde@piaille.fr points out, the guillotine symbol is not the happiest (especially in the French context) and may refer more to the death penalty than to a provocative and revolutionary symbol.
This was the 2nd aspect I was interested in when I first created and posted the image some time ago.
I thought I was being clear, which is obviously not the case. I'm sorry about that.
So as not to prolong the confusion any further and in the interests of not maintaining a bad symbolism, I'm going to delete the illustration from my collections and remove it from Redbubble and my sharing space.
(I'll just use the nostalgic little raccoon in a more positive context)

For the sake of honesty, I'm publishing these messages here and on my other networks for safekeeping.

I feel like I owe Eddie Vedder and PJ a public apology. I'm sure they'd understand, if they knew, but when I listened through their discography recently, I posted some fairly dismissive comments about their more recent albums. At the time I was frustrated and angry with the world, and I wanted music that spoke to that, like Ten, and Vs, and Riot Act.

Die Impfbereitschaft der Eltern, ihre Kinder impfen zu lassen, sinkt alarmierend!(Danke an Early Twix #meaculpa an mich) 🚨 Nur 77% der Zweijährigen in Deutschland sind vollständig geimpft, was gefährliche Impflücken schafft. Krankheiten wie Masern und Diphtherie könnten zurückkehren. Es ist wichtig, dass Eltern die Bedeutung von Impfungen erkennen! 💉👶 #Impfung #Gesundheit #Kinderschutz #Masern #Diphtherie #newz

Hi friends! I spent some time going through my old posts and hashtagging them for easier searching/finding later on, and didn’t realize (until I woke up to a bunch of notifications this morning) that each post edit sent out notifications to people. Sorry about the inadvertent spamming! 😳🤭
