Will be cutting back shortly on posts about West Asia

At around the one year mark of the current, worsening crisis in West Asia, and more than one year after retiring and five months after I decided to cut back on my posting for the sake of my health, I will be cutting back again - this time, on the extent of posting I am doing about the current crisis in West Asia. 

There is no doubt that that this crisis is a major regional and global risk, as have been other crises I have lived through (the Cuban Missile Crisis [although I was too young to remember that], several assassinations [including John and Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and others], the October War, 9/11, the GFC, and so on) and are still continuing crises (especially the climate crisis, and other environmental crises), and - notwithstanding moments of hope (such as the Whitlam government, the Oslo Accords) - needs continued attention and activism, but others are doing that - albeit against great odds.

I will be continuing my other activism in this area, but the posts are draining, and I need to look after my health - and attend more to other areas of life. 

Exactly when I will cut back will depend on events associated with the anniversary on 7^th  October, but I expect to cut back this weekend. 

Other posts will continue. 

 

 

Assumptions / basis 

In writing this, I have assumed / started from the following: 

• this blog states quite clearly that it is about political and human rights matters, including lived experience of problems, and thus I will assume readers are reasonable people who have noted the content warning in the post header;

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”; 
  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.
  

 

 

If they are of any use or interest, the activism information links from my former news posts are available in this post.  

If you appreciated this post, please consider promoting it - there are some links below. 

Note that, as with my main blog [see here], I am cutting back on aspects of my posts.

Remember: we need to be more human being rather than human doing, and all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering”.
