PLOY - Egalitarian liberation doesn't have to just be a dream?!

Dear friends who seek to become more informed, engaged, & wise participants
for an integrated, recovering transnational democracy:

As summer approaches, I am dedicating my "Conceptual Age" taskforce to
specifically help validate "cultural capital" which includes (but is not
limited to):

  - “Mom & Pop” Record Shops & Independent Booksellers
  - Art House Film & Cinemas, Coffeehouses & “Other” Arty/Punky Venues
  - “Fan” Zines & DIY Media (organic, analog, & digital formats)
  - College Radio & Alternative News Sources

The logic is simple: Feminism is for everybody
especially, the "deplorables" (punks, queers, freaks, losers, weirdos,
nerds, etc.). Obviously, I am inspired by arty/punky networks which
include riot
grrl
, queercore
&
other cultural campaigns
in social welfare. I very well know that the DEI+ junk is still under
attack, and that is because faith-based work seems to sometimes get lost in
the shuffle. (However, the Jewish "left" remains impressively resilient

The value that “cultural capital” offers doesn’t readily transfer into
financial wellness for those
more ephemeral institutions; however, the clear ongoing emergence of a
“conceptual age”
shows the importance of spiritual yearnings, aesthetic pleasures, creative
expressions, and other “feminine” sensibilities which better supports
egalitarian liberation. We can start by honoring the divine and sacred
within ourselves as it is understood as the ancestral/collective wisdom
that is passed down by matriarchs, patriarchs, and everyone in between (or
beyond?!) via popular & scholarly information, media, & technology
artefacts. We are collectively condemning the profanities that are causing
pluralistic ignorance which condones, promotes, & exploits corruption in
the forms of greed, violence, and misogyny (i.e. toxic masculinity) -- and
other undeserved advantages and privileges whose outcomes continue to offer
“high costs” to our communities.

I have just started a Wikiversity page called: *Not Another Marketing Ploy
(NAMP)*. You can view it here: <
synthesis of Sex & Gender Activism via "Rock'n Roll Rebellion" as I am
inspired by all the vital institutions of cultural capital; and I have
continued this research here in Northampton. You can view my latest report
about my research at Smith College Libraries after perusing their
collections of paperwork donated by Tinuviel Sampson
launch the Kill Rock Stars record label and the careers of Sleater-Kinney
and Mary Lou Lord. The final report is on the Dagger Zine blog: <
That false idolatry theme is not new to the many subcultural iterations of
punk rock, no wave
& so on & so forth.

I have also been pondering unconventional pioneers in nontraditional
"cross-gender" relationships like Steven Patrick Morrissey & Linder
Sterling, Robert Mapplethorpe & Patti Smith, and Stephin Merritt & Claudia
Gonson of The Magnetic Fields. You can read those reflections in another
Dagger
Zine blog post
This continues to remind me how we cannot overlook the importance of
recovery as a pluralistic endeavor. And I have recently been inspired to
revise my opinions of what I sometimes call "RECOVERDOXY" after watching
various participants' testimony in a documentary about The New York Dolls
reuniting
.

And I'm going to need it because I am still being involuntarily medicated
as an impoverished homeless person who is pathologized, criminalized, and
otherwise fighting stereotypic slander as these are clearly
political assaults on my wellness. As the shelter system itself is being
jeopardized, I can only imagine that real jail will be next for us; despite
the absence of criminal convictions since due process has gone out the
window. Immigrants and LGBTQ+ communities continue to get marginalized
instead; and we all face a slow death. I too am an “offender” for trying to
be a Jewish feminist trying to live a man’s world that prefers Jews when we
are dead! I can be locked in an asylum, a ghetto, or a jail… does it even
matter?

With only respect and gratitude to my audience and followers as I struggle
to live a meaningful life at age of 50!

-Dina

Advocating for better consumer safeguards and sustainable economic reform

emerging "Conceptual Age."

Stopping the epidemics of misinformation, disinformation, & malinformation
(propaganda) from disrupting our information, media, & technology (IMT)
ecosystems by facilitating the effective, appropriate, & ethical
comprehension/production of IMT artefacts on our journeys toward
integrative recovery & holistic wellbeing.


Facilitating the acquisition of lifelong literacies, instead of reinforcing
the perception that "natural vulnerabilities" are "permanent deficiencies,"
as a community of learners struggling to fight the onslaught of unhealthy
messages generated by practices which condone/promote the exploitation of
typical human fallibilities reinforcing the greedy, violent, and
misogynistic approaches of a plutocratic tyranny who resorts to
criminalizing, pathologizing, and otherwise blaming the victims of their
wanton ludicrousness.


Alerting consumers to the impact of numerous illusions and other deceptive
efforts that turn our individual differences into manufactured deviations
(and other forms of "learned helplessness"); thereby revealing systemic
injustices that are perpetuated by ongoing inequitable power dynamics (i.e.
colonialism) and other accessibility barriers to the basic resources that
support our universal human needs, wants, & desires.


Building a taskforce of nonviolent communicators who are:

  - Promoting an informed, engaged, & wise

  global citizenry and participatory transnational Democracy. (cf:
  listography

  )
  - Elevating “Conceptual Age

  shortcomings of residuals from the preceding "Information Age" and
  "Industrial Age."

  - Adopting the principles of "Data Feminism
  challenging power; elevating emotion & embodiment; rethinking binaries &
  hierarchies; embracing pluralism; considering context; and making labor
