"What if we developed a politics of refusal — the ability to say enough is enough — and recognized that we aren’t powerless to the whims of rich tech CEOs who force this dystopian garbage down our throats while claiming it’s 'inevitable?'"

"Artists are tired of tech platforms that pay them virtually nothing, owned by degenerate billionaires that see all human creativity as interchangeable aesthetic wallpaper, valued only for its ability to make numbers go up.

Another Chronic Illness Christmas

disabledginger.com · Dec 24

When you're chronically ill, the holidays can be lonely. Feelings of guilt are common. A look at how to set boundaries, support other disabled people and a reminder that you're never alone.

Social media generally slows down at the holidays. Why? Because people are celebrating and spending time with their families.

I’m not one of those people.

Why? Because I’m having another Chronic Illness Christmas.

When you’re disabled and chronically ill, the holidays hit different.

They’re lonely. Isolating. Exhausting.

As a result many of us are excluded and left on our own.

When I created The Disabled Ginger I wanted to build a community where everyone felt included.

I wanted to reach across the internet and connect people so they could always have someone to talk to. Someone who understood them. Someone who could make them feel a little less alone.

This Christmas that’s my wish for all of you… that you feel a little less alone.

That you find comfort and joy in the small things, whatever they may be.

If you’re healthy, please remember that not everyone is. That many people are suffering this Christmas and could use a kind word or a bit of love.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Thank you for spending another year with me.

VEGA (@vega) · Dec 24

Je suis athée, mais cet article d'un pasteur palestinien m'a touchée, car il rappelle la similarité entre la situation de naissance de celui que les chrétiens considéreront comme Jésus, et la situation actuelle des palestiniens.

lisez cet article, qui rappelle que noël n'est pas une histoire de nos pays développés, mais que c'est une histoire palestinienne.
Pensez y bien, vous qui allez vous rendre à la "messe de minuit".

extraits traduits:

"Même les paroles familières du chant de Noël "douce nuit" occultent la véritable nature de l'histoire : Jésus n'est pas né dans la sérénité, mais dans le tumulte.

Il est né sous occupation militaire, dans une famille déplacée par un décret impérial, dans une région vivant sous le joug de la violence. La Sainte Famille a été contrainte de fuir en tant que réfugiés car, selon le récit évangélique, les enfants de Bethléem ont été massacrés par un tyran craintif, déterminé à préserver son règne. Cela vous semble familier ?

En effet, Noël est une histoire d'empire, d'injustice et de vulnérabilité des gens ordinaires pris dans son sillage."
.................................................................................

"Pour les Palestiniens d'aujourd'hui, ce n'est pas seulement une question de théologie, c'est une expérience vécue. Lorsque nous lisons l'histoire de Noël, nous reconnaissons notre propre monde : le recensement qui a contraint Marie et Joseph à voyager ressemble aux permis, aux points de contrôle et aux contrôles bureaucratiques qui façonnent notre vie quotidienne aujourd'hui. La fuite de la Sainte Famille fait écho aux millions de réfugiés qui ont fui les guerres dans notre région. La violence d'Hérode fait écho à la violence que nous voyons autour de nous.

Noël est une histoire palestinienne par excellence."

Christmas is not a Western story – it is a Palestinian one

Christmas is a story of empire, injustice and the vulnerability of ordinary people caught in its path.

Every December, much of the Christian world enters a familiar cycle of celebration: carols, lights, decorated trees, consumer frenzy and the warm imagery of a snowy night. In the United States and Europe, public discourse often speaks of “Western Christian values”

- Summary: After three failed attempts to be promoted from L4 to L5 at YouTube despite leading high-impact projects, the author chose to leave Google rather than keep over-performing for uncertain recognition. While still employed, they ran a covert, exhausting job search—studying nights, hiding interview prep, and carefully abstracting proprietary work to honor NDAs. They aimed for a rare “double-level” jump (L4→L6) to match the scope they already handled. Thirteen interviews at one company exposed organizational dysfunction, whereas tighter loops signaled clearer cultures. A heartfelt resignation talk with a supportive manager underscored that retention has limits; sometimes the best move is letting talent grow elsewhere. The takeaway: if your responsibilities outrank your title and compensation for too long, test the market; comfort breeds stagnation.
