it’s rare to find a sinhalese person (online atleast) who is supportive of tamil self-determination. genuine question: among leftist circles in sri lanka, how common is such a stance?
I don't know whether I'm a reliable source to answer this question because I'm very jaded about this in general. A couple of days ago, someone on the Sri Lanka Reddit started up discourse about Maitreyi Ramakrishnan's choice to reject identifying with the country that tried to genocide her people, which I'm still chewing wire about. I'm a very isolated person with a very small social circle of like-minded leftist friends. They're mostly not SinBud and anti SinBud nonsense, but none of them are Tamil and I'm the one who really convinced them about Eelam I think. The people I learned from, who are out there doing the work of building inter-ethnic dialogue and overturning Sinhalese propaganda, might have a more hopeful view.
Thing is, there's no one "leftist" faction here because "left" doesn't mean the same thing as it does in the West. The Rajapaksas' party SLPP is socialist, a legacy of the SLFP that they branched off from, who was the party aligned with the USSR. They and their voters and their saffron terror acolytes (Buddhist priesthood) are all for public infrastructure they can rob blind and central government they can use to crush minorities, and build on the nationalist fervour of genocidal Sinhalese Buddhism that's served both major parties independence. There's quasi-communists, descendants of the ethnonationalist Marxist JVP that rose in opposition to the class corruption of ethnonationalist USSR-aligned socialist SLFP and enthonationalist US-aligned neoliberal UNP. The current JVP party itself is no longer communist; their coalition the NPP are mostly just very pro-union social democrats, and they've since distanced themselves from their ethnic myopia, possibly due to suffering much of the same state terrorism as minorities via militarisation and policies like the draconian Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA). They're the most vocal about the abolition of the executive presidency, the removal of all martial law mechanisms and the PTA, defunding of military and police, and restructuring and executing the long-mismanaged socialist infrastructure. These are usually the working class and university students, but their base has been growing in other demographics too, since we "held our noses and voted" for the Yahapalana government in 2015 and it ended up fucking us over. But despite their sympathy with the suffering of Tamils and Muslims and favouring the devolution of power, most still cling to the idea that Sinhalese majoritarianism is a fair result of democracy.
The kind of pro-LGBT, anti-racist, feminist liberals that would pass muster with the western left otoh, are a minority of urban, English-speaking middle class. The younger of this crowd is increasingly favouring the aforementioned NPP (that is rapidly marrying the economic left with the social consciousness led by western dialogues that go against their traditional rural working class base), but that is very new and hampered by decades of Red Scare propaganda. The minority communities and the urban liberals traditionally vote for the current neoliberal party, that has distanced itself from their virulent nationalism over the last thirty years and basically modelled itself after the US Democrats (diet right-wing as opposed to nuclear right-wing) Their idea of reducing corruption and increasing efficiency is privatizing everything, makes the right pro-feminist and pro-LGBT noises, and coasts on the minority votes on the promise of never actively feeding ethnosupremacy, even if they won't do anything about it either. The Sinhalese affiliated with this party are deeply uncomfortable with if not entirely resistant to the idea that the North and East are Tamil lands colonized by the Sinhalese. Just like the quasi-communists, urban liberals are aware of the corruption and complicity of the Buddhist priesthood in ethnofascism and are prepared to do exactly as much nothing about it.
What I'm trying to say is that Sinhalese Buddhist ethnosupremacy is baked in to the Sri Lankan political fabric. "Left" means jack shit when it comes to whether Tamils have rights, in much the same way that the western left agrees on everything except Palestine. It's a political no man's land everyone tries not to look at.
The fundamental problem is that Sinhalese people who know enough about 1958, 1983, or the full scope of genocide perpetrated against Tamils during the last push of the war, let alone all 26 years of it, are very much in the minority. It takes a particular education to understand that "Sri Lanka" is a post-colonial invention that took over from "Ceylon", which was nothing but a construct for the ease of British administration. As far as I know, this education is confined to activist organizations and whoever followed my sociology program. So my kind of anarchist leftism that calls the war a Tamil genocide with their whole chest, calls the priesthood saffron terrorists, and recognises Eelam, is vanishingly small, afaik.
To be honest, I never really questioned the propaganda and narrative we've been spoon fed myself until I went to Canada when I was 23 to complete my anthro degree (became disabled and dropped out after). One thing that struck me was how racist the Sinhalese diaspora was. I was raised SinBud, my school didn't admit any non-Sinhalese, half my uncles were in the military, but these people that had left the country decades ago still hated Tamils and Muslims in a way that nobody else I knew did. I wondered whether this was what it had been like when it had all started; whether this hatred that seemed to have been preserved in amber was a true taste of what had ignited Black July. Suddenly the attitude of the Tamil diaspora towards the Sri Lankan government and Sinhalese people didn't seem so unreasonable.
Then, later in the same uni term, I went to an art exhibition of a white artist who travelled the world collecting information about their genocides and made art about them, and found a painting depicting Sri Lankan Tamils in 2008. Promptly had a meltdown. Went to the lady and told her tearfully that it was all propaganda, we didn't really hate Tamils, not even my uncles in the army hated Tamils, it was a war, the LTTE had terrorized us for my whole lifetime. Bless the woman, she didn't fight me, just let me cry at her and patted my hand and pretended to take me seriously. This made it easier for me to really think about what I knew once I'd stopped wailing and stamping. It prompted a years-long self-interrogation and fact finding that made me unearth how much brainwashing had been done to us by everyone, from our families to our school textbooks to news media. It's like the air we breathed was propaganda. And I still didn't know a fraction of what life had been like for Tamils (or Muslims) and the scope of atrocities perpetrated by the Sinhalese until I began my Society and Culture degree at the Open University when I was 30. The first year textbooks were only broadstrokes facts, but at last I found out about Gnananth Obeysekera, Prageeth Jeganathan, Stanley Thambaiya, Malithi DeAlwis. Their work on nation-making, ethnicity, historical revisionism, genocide and ethnic conflict and state terrorism...everything I should have been taught as a child. The chapters on the rapes and murders and shelling and war crimes and IDP camps were..indescribable. That was what properly radicalised me about Tamil self-sovereignty, because there's clearly no possible way the Tamil people will ever be safe and safeguarded under a Sinhalese majoritarian government.
I had to drop out of that programme too because of my health. But during the mass protests against the government in 2022, I learned even more about Tamil indigeneity, the extent of JR Jayawardena's crimes, and the persecution of Marxists and victims of the '71 and '89 insurrections. So much of the protests and their encampments were directed and galvanized by social media, that organised online and in-person lectures, teach-outs, and live discussions that anyone and everyone could attend right alongside the protests. I've never seen that kind of truly democratized, free, egalitarian civic education and discourse before. That was the very first time I saw academics, survivors, refugees and human rights activists being given a respectful platform, the masses hearing firsthand accounts from people of the North and East and witnesses of Black July. April to July 2022 was a truly golden bubble of time where I saw people finally start listening, believing, and challenging all their convictions. It was the closest we ever came to realising the hope that things could be different; that we could, as a society, understand how Sinhalese ethnosupremacy had been the black rot killing this country from the first, stop being racist Sinhala-first cunts and actually hold any of these murderers accountable.
Teach us to hope, I guess.
But I suppose it's no small thing that I learned about the Tamil resistance and struggle and taught all my friends about it. I'm sure they're informing their own circles in small ways too. These tendrils are hard to see, but they exist and grow. Especially with the fall of the Rajapaksas and their Bhaiyya contingent, more people can see ethnosupremacy for the grift that it is, and the younger generations are less defensive, more willing to listen and eager for justice and change. So I guess the answer is: not very common, but less uncommon than it used to be.

Resources and study tips to get you in cyber forensics
Master post • Part1 • part2
let's get you prepped to be a cyber sleuth without spending any cash. Here’s the ultimate tips and resources.
Ps: you can't become one while doing these pointers but you can experience the vibe so you can finally find your career interest
### 1. **Digital Scavenger Hunts**
- **CTF Challenges (Capture The Flag)**: Dive into platforms like [CTFtime](https://ctftime.org/) where you can participate in cyber security challenges. It's like playing *Among Us* but with hackers—find the imposter in the code!
- **Hunt A Killer (Digitally)**: Create your own digital crime scenes. Ask friends to send you files (like images, PDFs) with hidden clues. Your job? Find the Easter eggs and solve the case.
### 2. **YouTube University**
- **Cyber Sleuth Tutorials**: Channels like *HackerSploit* and *The Cyber Mentor* have playlists covering digital forensics, cybersecurity, and more. Binge-watch them like your fave Netflix series, but here you're learning skills to catch bad guys.
- **Live Streams & Q&A**: Jump into live streams on platforms like Twitch where cybersecurity experts solve cases in real-time. Ask questions, get answers, and interact with the pros.
### 3. **Public Libraries & eBook Treasure Hunts**
- **Library eBooks**: Most libraries have eBooks or online resources on digital forensics. Check out titles like *"Hacking Exposed"* or *"Digital Forensics for Dummies"*. You might have to dig through the catalog, but think of it as your first case.
- **LinkedIn Learning via Library**: Some libraries offer free access to LinkedIn Learning. If you can snag that, you've got a goldmine of courses on cybersecurity and forensics.
### 4. **Virtual Study Groups**
- **Discord Servers**: Join cybersecurity and hacking communities on Discord. They often have study groups, challenges, and mentors ready to help out. It's like joining a digital Hogwarts for hackers.
- **Reddit Threads**: Subreddits like r/cybersecurity and r/hacking are packed with resources, advice, and study buddies. Post your questions, and you’ll get a whole thread of answers.
### 5. **DIY Labs at Home**
- **Build Your Own Lab**: Got an old PC or laptop? Turn it into a practice lab. Install virtual machines (VMware, VirtualBox) and play around with different operating systems and security tools. It’s like Minecraft but for hacking.
- **Log Your Own Activity**: Turn on logging on your own devices and then try to trace your own steps later. You’re basically spying on yourself—no NSA required.
### 6. **Community College & University Open Courses**
- **Free Audit Courses**: Many universities offer free auditing of cybersecurity courses through platforms like Coursera, edX, and even YouTube. No grades, no stress, just pure learning.
- **MOOCs**: Massive Open Online Courses often have free tiers. Try courses like "Introduction to Cyber Security" on platforms like FutureLearn or edX.
### 7. **Scour GitHub**
- **Open-Source Tools**: GitHub is full of open-source forensic tools and scripts. Clone some repositories and start tinkering with them. You’re basically getting your hands on the tools real investigators use.
- **Follow the Code**: Find projects related to digital forensics, follow the code, and see how they work. Contribute if you can—bonus points for boosting your resume.
### 8. **Local Meetups & Online Conferences**
- **Free Virtual Conferences**: Many cybersecurity conferences are virtual and some offer free access. DEF CON has a lot of free content, and you can find tons of talks on YouTube.
- **Hackathons**: Look for free entry hackathons—often universities or tech companies sponsor them. Compete, learn, and maybe even win some gear.
### 9. **DIY Challenges**
- **Create Your Own Scenarios**: Get a friend to simulate a hack or data breach. You try to solve it using whatever tools and resources you have. It's like escape rooms, but digital.
- **Pen & Paper Simulation**: Before diving into digital, try solving forensic puzzles on paper. Map out scenarios and solutions to get your brain wired like a detective.
### 10. **Stay Updated**
- **Podcasts & Blogs**: Tune into cybersecurity podcasts like *Darknet Diaries* or follow blogs like *Krebs on Security*. It’s like getting the tea on what’s happening in the cyber world.
### 11. **Free Software & Tools**
- **Autopsy**: Free digital forensics software that helps you analyze hard drives and mobile devices. Think of it as your magnifying glass for digital clues.
- **Wireshark**: A free tool to see what's happening on your network. Catch all the data packets like you're a digital fisherman.
### 12. **Online Forensics Communities**
- **Free Webinars & Workshops**: Join communities like the *SANS Institute* for free webinars. It's like attending a masterclass but from the comfort of your gaming chair.
- **LinkedIn Groups**: Join groups like *Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR)*. Network with pros, get job tips, and stay in the loop with the latest trends.
### 13. **Practice Cases & Mock Trials**
- **Set Up Mock Trials**: Role-play with friends where one is the hacker, another the victim, and you’re the investigator. Recreate cases from famous cybercrimes to see how you'd solve them.
- **Case Studies**: Research and recreate famous digital forensic cases. What steps did the investigators take? How would you handle it differently?
There you have it—your roadmap to becoming a cyber sleuth without dropping a dime. You don't have time find your interest after paying pennies to different ppl and colleges. You can explore multiple things from comfort of your home only if you want to.

JAN MOIR: She gave Harry an icy stare any husband would know - watch what you're saying mister! by u/Von_und_zu_
JAN MOIR: She gave Harry an icy stare any husband would know - watch what you're saying, mister! Full of sarcasm and snark. Moir sees right through the facade and does not hold back.***'I am so, so happy you're here. Thank you,' said Meghan, giving the famous American television host that special big hug she reserves for famous American television hosts. \***'We always talk about in the olden days if your kids were under your roof, you knew what they were up to,' he said, making a steeple with his fingers to illustrate the shape of a roof, presumably so that any hobbits or igloo-dwellers out there would know what he was talking about.'And at least they were safe, right?' But were they, Harry? Were they really? They could be trying on Nazi uniforms or playing naked billiards or taking cocaine or all sorts. You just never know with kids.\***'So if me voicing what I have overcome will save someone... I'll take a hit for that,' added Meghan, giving viewers an inspiring example of the emotional benevolence that makes her so very special.Indeed, in the four years that the Sussexes have lived in America, Meghan has perfected her gracious duchess-in-exile persona: regal but relatable, grand and bland in equal measure.She smiled beatifically when she talked of 'change for good' and her 'amazing' children, but sometimes would look stonily at Harry when it was his turn to talk on camera. Husbands around the world would recognise and interpret that icy, wifely stare in seconds: Watch what you are saying, mister. \***Sometimes you wonder how Harry and Meghan have the nerve, the sheer brassy audacity to do what they do. Of course, the altruistic urge is obvious in launching an online Parents' Network. One can see the essential goodness in building an 'empowered community of families' to 'support and uplift each other'.Yet it is no secret that the Sussexes are estranged – to a greater or lesser degree – from their own parents. Parents such as Mr T Markle, who lives in reduced circumstances in a dusty Mexican border town. The 80-year-old is in poor health and has yet to meet his daughter Meghan's husband or be introduced to his two grandchildren, who he is longing to get to know before he dies.Is there a network for him to join? Or what about a network for King Charles, the parent who has become so concerned about his younger son's public indiscretions and confessions that he reportedly avoids taking his calls and keeps their meetings to a minimum?It is all very confusing. Do the Sussexes mean well – or are they just mean? Perhaps you think I'm being too cynical, but I'll take a hit for that.https://archive.ph/EOWDyhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/article-13707697/JAN-MOIR-Harry-icy-stare-husband-watch-saying-mister.html​ post link: https://ift.tt/xFD5r1m author: Von_und_zu_ submitted: August 05, 2024 at 04:34AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

Invader's Cookbook #4: Crafting, Consumables, Community Assistance.
Warning: this issue of Invader's Cookbook is only for those who have completed the base game. If you're a new player, using advice from this guide may ruin your natural progression path.
Part 1: Community
As you become better at PvP and it becomes more interesting to you, Elden Ring stops being a PvE game with PvP attached to it, and becomes a PvP game with PvE attached to it. And if you do dueling and invading with any regularity, you will discover that certain resources are way more limited than they should be. Which is fine for a PvE playthrough, but in PvP it becomes a detriment to the variety of the things you can do in any given encounter.
For example, starlight shards is an item that gives you enough Focus Points regeneration that allows sorcery builds to rival melee builds in invasion scenarios. There are only a few dozen of them in the entire game without going to NG+ and they are completely unfarmable.
That is why some players opt to simply duplicate their items via reloading their saves and dropping them to their friends. It is not considered cheating, not by the dedicated PvP community and not by From Software either.
There are a bunch of ways to go about acquiring items.
1. Find a person who plays PvP and who has already acquired all the items
Pretty straightforward. If you don't have such a person, shoot a DM to @huggingtentacles she can usually help.
2. r/PatchesEmporium
Patches Emporium is a community on Reddit where you can place a request for certain items, and if you're willing to fulfill someone else's request, you can successfully gain all the items you need.. Typically they will ask you for a "mule". A mule means transferring their items between characters through your character. You simply pick up the items, and give them back to another character they have. In return they might share some stuff you might want.
3. Join a PvP-focused discord community
You can find plenty of them online, Elden Ring PvP is the most popular one. Plenty of streamers on twitch, big and small, also have similar communities.
Part 2: I got the stuff, what now?
Now you probably have enough crafting materials to craft literally every item in the game in ridiculous amounts. Which is good, you will need them for the following items:
1. Boluses
Boluses to cure status effects are the most important, especially Preserving Boluses that help against Scarlet Rot. Make a bunch of them.
2. Uplifting Aromatics
Finally you can use those perfume bottles for something! Having up to 10 is quite strong. It makes you take 90% less damage on your next hit, as well as gives you a noticeable damage boost. Very important to cross places where you might get ambushed around the corner. You can also use this aromatic to buff mobs in the area!
3. Greases
You can only use greases on weapons with physical affinities: Keen, Heavy, Quality and Standard. Now you are able to replace regular greases with Drawstring Grease, which does significantly more damage, albeit it lasts for a shorter period of time. You can use it quickly mid-combat, highly recommend
4. Everything else
Dried livers, various Pots Cured Meat, Exalted Flesh, Bolts, Arrows, Pickled Turtle Necks, Throwing Daggers, Warming Stones. All of these amazing items are important to use in most PvP activities. Learn to utilise them to their fullest potential.
Part 3: And what about making builds faster?
Through other players you can also acquire weapons and runes. However, you can't acquire weapons that are higher level than the one you have already upgraded on your character. You'll have to upgrade a weapon to a certain level if you want someone to drop you weapons of that level.
A typical fast playthrough to meta level 125-137 would be getting a +10 somber weapon as fast as possible, and then having every other item dropped from another player, then finishing the playthrough with all of that stuff and the appropriate level using the infinite runes you got. (Do you see why I don't recommend this to first time playthroughs? Don't ruin your experience.)
Closing Thoughts
One aspect of Elden Ring PvP that's rarely talked about is how the developers never quite anticipated the amount of PvP some people do. Some items are simply too ridiculous to farm for PvP purposes. Imagine having to farm for half an hour only to waste all of that in one single invasion! Some builds like sorcery simply shoot themselves in the foot by not having vital things like starlight shards.
It's not all bad though. After all, trading items and helping eachother makes for a more meaningful community interaction among players, even if it's purely transactional. In fact, I met many cool players through trading favours like that, and I hope you will as well.
Aren't sure about talking to strangers to get Elden Ring items? Try talking to @huggingtentacles she is always happy to help out new invaders!

kind of random, but I’m curious about your thoughts on what seems to be the intended growth and direction of Weverse and Weverse magazine beyond the kpop sphere
bang pd has said that they want to expand weverse’s use to western artists and fanbases. Of course it’s still almost entirely kpop and kpop adjacent, but in general I like the platform and I think it could be an interesting tool for smaller artists globally. But I also don’t see western artists being that interested in engaging with their fans like this, especially where they already have tools like Instagram live. Maybe I’m biased by my army experience, but the Weverse armys are some of the cringiest (and youngest) imo, and the parasocial relationship encouraged somewhat in kpop isn’t encouraged in the same way in the west. Maybe there’d be interest in the online concert format?
as for Weverse magazine, I like the idea of growing a kpop oriented magazine that actually respects the artists. There’ve been so many dumb articles written about bts that it’s nice to see there be consistently decent interviews with them. The bts/hybe bias shows, but I don’t need constant fluff pieces about the members to appreciate the magazine and I think it’d be better off in the long run if they have objective authors writing about kpop generally. I have seen some articles about western artists which threw me off of what I thought they wanted to do with the magazine and who they want their audience to end up being. Do you see a benefit in trying to grow their reach to western artists and growing their audience? What do you think they want to do with this magazine?
***
You raise very good points. I want to challenge and expand on a few things.
"...and the parasocial relationship encouraged somewhat in kpop isn’t encouraged in the same way in the west."
This is changing. Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Billboard, etc, the main music publications have been highlighting since BTS got on the scene (2020), that musicians should look into actively building dedicated fanbases via more fan engagement, to be more successful. Here's an article from Billboard crediting this shift in the industry to Taylor Swift (I disagree). Also, western artists already leverage parasocial relationships: Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj are all examples of western artists who are about as engaged with their fans as some k-pop groups are. So if the sales pitch for Weverse is a customized fan engagement solution to lean on the parasocial aspect more, there's more than a few western artists who will be interested.
Just wanted to put that out there, and also because it ties to my next point about the (theoretical) competitive edge WV has over a platform like Instagram Live:
IL is technically the better platform because it gives you the widest audience reach. More people have Instagram already installed than they do Weverse.
But the key thing about successful fan engagement, is cultivating a fandom. Meaning, a somewhat organized group of fans. For the fans to organize, they need a fandom space. A shared feed where people in the fandom can communicate and build community. It's somewhat difficult to get this on Instagram and this is why forums like Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, Quora etc thrive.
Weverse's pitch is highlighting a customized solution that combines the best things about those platforms into one thing, creating a dedicated fan space for the artist and their fans.
In theory, Bang PD is right on the money here and with a few adjustments should have a gold mine on his hands. But the platform isn't well managed.
And neither is the magazine.
And so that theory remains just that.
There's been a handful of dumb articles about BTS/members and other artists by Weverse Magazine too. They've done an excellent job with the interviews they've published, and sometimes they've offered critical counterarguments to shoddy logic from mainstream music publications, but the times they've gaffed have been really embarrassing for everyone involved. For example that racist article that undermined Jimin's accomplishments with FACE. One can assume that was maybe their attempt to show less bias towards BTS and come across as 'objective', but all it did was make the writer and magazine look uninformed.
To gain any critical cred they need more flashy bylines, more socially conscious Korean critics and more mainstream writers, etc. And to increase their audience, yeah more pieces featuring western artists is one way to go about it. They want the magazine as an avenue to tell their own stories and offer their own side, as well as an attempt to participate in discussions in the wider industry, in k-pop and outside k-pop.
This is the wrong way to think about things, but I use Weverse as a bellwether to gauge how efficient and well-run HYBE is. My take on things, using how Weverse appears to be managed as a proxy, is that HYBE is bloated - not quite yet a bureaucratic nightmare but key departments are slow to react whether it's in fixing problems, picking up on trends, course correcting, etc.
I don't know much about coding but the UX/UI on Weverse feels like an afterthought. Almost everything from the color scheme (and lack of personalizing options) to the fact there's a WV streaming platform nobody uses.... they could be doing a much better job with a leaner structure.
Last week if you opened Weverse you'd have gotten a notice to participate in a survey. I left my feedback and I hope y'all did too. BigHit used to be decently good at responding to fan feedback. Let's hope that's still the case with Weverse and HYBE because even the company recognizes that Weverse is underperforming.

Post 1: Digital Spaces Are Vital for the LGBTQ+ Community
For years, the LGBTQ+ community has searched for ways to bring members of the community together and support each other. Before the vast majority was able to have technology at their fingertips 24/7, finding those who related to their struggles and feelings was more difficult. The Queer community has historical struggles with visibility, acceptance, and safe spaces in physical environments. As technology has progressed, there has been a key tool that many Queer people have turned to: digital spaces.Â
Digital spaces can be found all throughout the internet today. Many seek refuge in digital safe spaces when people in their physical, daily lives do not seem to understand or relate to their struggles as someone in the LGBTQ+ community. Digital spaces have become vital tools for LGBTQ+ communities to find safety, solidarity, and shared identity online.Â
In the 1970s, prior to the rise of the popular social media platforms we all know today, chat rooms and forums were among the first digital spaces where LGBTQ+ people could connect. These rooms and forums were often anonymous or semi-private, so people could discuss identity, relationships, and activism with ease. Avery Dame-Griff, a Lecturer in Women’s and Gender Studies at Gonzaga University, states, “Communicating via computer reduced the risk of outing or retaliation, and the technology allowed those without a local queer community to stay connected.” (https://www.processhistory.org/dame-griff-how-computers-transformed-lgbtq-life/)Â
The first platform that introduced these forums and chat rooms was the bulletin board system, or the BBS, in 1978. This platform required a microcomputer, open phone line, and a modem to dial in. There were other features as well, including games and file libraries. The platform became more popular in the late 1980s with the first Gay and Lesbian BBS Lists being published to the site. There was even an anonymous discussion and exploration space for those who were questioning or not out of the closet yet. People were able to connect with those in their specific area code and local communities. The lists were mainly used for hosting fundraisers, get togethers, and political organizing. During the AIDS epidemic, the bulletin was used to spread awareness, organize protests, and circulate key information. The site is also credited with being vital for transgender people’s support and communication with one another when it was dangerous to express your true self in public. (https://www.processhistory.org/dame-griff-how-computers-transformed-lgbtq-life/)Â
Since this time, we have come a long way with the platforms that we have access to. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the most used sites for connecting with others were AOL, MySpace, Blogger, and Tumblr. These sites gave users access to chat rooms and safe spaces that appealed to their personal niches. Tumblr became a haven for LGBTQ+ expression, art, and storytelling. The site’s format allowed for anonymity and the sharing of personal experiences and fan culture, which was deeply tied to queerness. MySpace allowed LGBTQ+ users to shape their online identities through customized profiles and music preferences, which often reflected queer subcultures.
Today the internet keeps expanding with a plethora of platforms available for those seeking refuge online. Some of the most popular sites include Reddit, Discord, and TikTok. Reddit allows niche communities to form around sexual orientation and gender identity with spaces called Subreddits. These are sections that are based on and discuss specific topics, for example: r/LGBT, r/actuallesbians, and r/NonBinary. On Discord, users can create private servers for smaller, curated queer communities. This offers users greater privacy and real-time chat features. TikTok allows LGBTQ+ creators to share stories, educate others, and build visibility. The app’s algorithm helps these creators build platforms and express themselves to a wide audience.
These platforms have been crucial for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults seeking connections with those who understand their struggles in a world where they still face discrimination.

Building a German Learning Community: How to Create or Join Online Study Groups for Beginners
Learning a new language like German can be an exciting journey, but it’s even more rewarding when you don’t have to do it alone. For beginners, building or joining a German learning community through online study groups can be a game-changer. In this blog, we'll discuss why these communities are so important, how you can create or join one, and how they can enhance your experience in a German language course in Coimbatore. By staying connected with others, you can stay motivated, track progress, and build valuable relationships with fellow learners.
The Importance of a German Learning Community
When you enroll in a German language course in Coimbatore, you often find that learning with peers accelerates your progress. A study group allows you to practice with others, clarify doubts, and engage in meaningful discussions that enhance understanding. For beginners, who are just starting with basic grammar and vocabulary, collaboration can be invaluable. You get the opportunity to reinforce learning through repetition and interactive tasks. Whether you're aiming to master conversational skills or hoping to study in Germany, being part of an online study group can provide the support you need.
Benefits of Joining Online Study Groups
Joining an online study group while taking a German language course in Coimbatore has several advantages:
Increased Accountability: When you commit to a group, you're more likely to stay consistent with your learning. Other members can motivate you to keep up with the lessons and not fall behind.
Exposure to Diverse Learning Styles: Each learner brings their own approach to studying. Some might be great at pronunciation, while others may excel at grammar. Learning from different perspectives can deepen your understanding.
Real-Time Practice: Whether you’re enrolled in German classes in Coimbatore or studying online, having peers to practice with will boost your speaking and listening skills. Regular conversation sessions help you become more comfortable with the language, especially with native speakers.
Networking Opportunities: Your study group could include people from different regions, some of whom may have experience with the German language course in Chennai, German language online course, or even those who are preparing to study in Germany. This broadens your learning horizon and builds connections.
How to Find Online Study Groups for German Learners
Now that you know the benefits of joining a study group, the next step is to find one. If you're enrolled in a German course in Coimbatore, your course provider might offer study group options. However, there are also independent online platforms where you can connect with learners globally.
1. Language Learning Platforms
Platforms like Duolingo, Babbel, and italki not only offer courses but also have community features where you can join language learning groups. These groups often have learners at the same level as you, making it easier to share resources and practice.
2. Social Media Groups
Facebook, Reddit, and Discord have vibrant communities dedicated to German learners. By joining these groups, you can find people interested in study sessions, language challenges, and live conversations. Look for local groups related to a German language course in Coimbatore or broader communities like "German Learners for Beginners."
3. Course-Specific Groups
If you're taking an online course, such as a German language online course or German course in Coimbatore online, many institutions provide study groups as part of the course package. These groups typically meet via Zoom, Skype, or Google Meet for structured practice sessions.
4. Language Exchange Websites
Websites like Meetup, ConversationExchange, and Tandem are specifically designed for language learners. They allow you to connect with people who are either learning German or willing to help beginners practice speaking and comprehension.
How to Start Your Own German Learning Community
If you can't find a study group that fits your needs, starting your own can be just as rewarding. Whether you’re studying in a German language course in Coimbatore or elsewhere, forming a community around shared goals is highly motivating.
1. Identify Your Group’s Objective
The first step in creating a study group is to define the group’s purpose. Are you focused on conversational skills, preparing for exams, or improving grammar? Establishing a clear objective helps attract like-minded learners.
2. Find Members
You can start by reaching out to your classmates if you're already enrolled in a German language course in Coimbatore. If you're studying through an online German course, check the course forum or community area for learners who are interested in joining a study group. Posting in language learning communities on Facebook or Reddit can also help you find members.
3. Choose a Meeting Platform
Decide on the platform you'll use to conduct meetings. Popular choices include Zoom, Skype, and Google Meet. For regular communication, platforms like WhatsApp, Slack, or Discord are excellent for staying in touch outside of study sessions.
4. Create a Structured Plan
For beginners, structure is key. Plan each study session in advance by setting goals such as practicing vocabulary, reviewing lessons from your German language course in Coimbatore, or focusing on pronunciation. Dividing the study group into smaller sections—like grammar, listening, and speaking—will keep everyone engaged.
5. Set Regular Meeting Times
Consistency is crucial. Decide on a time that works for everyone and stick to it. Weekly or bi-weekly meetings help maintain momentum and ensure regular progress.
Maximizing the Study Group Experience
To make the most out of your study group, whether it’s a German course in Coimbatore online or a casual meetup, there are certain best practices to follow.
Be Prepared: Always come to the session prepared with topics or questions. This ensures that your time is used efficiently, and everyone gains something from the meeting.
Engage Actively: Participate actively by asking questions and offering help when needed. Collaborative learning thrives on shared knowledge and curiosity.
Use Multimedia: During study sessions, use audio, video, and text resources. Watching German movies or listening to German podcasts can complement your lessons from the German language course in Coimbatore and provide more dynamic learning experiences.
Rotate Roles: Encourage different members to lead each session. This not only builds confidence but also brings a fresh perspective to the group dynamic.
Leverage Technology: Use language apps, digital flashcards, and language quizzes to gamify your learning process. Many of these tools are available free for those enrolled in a German language online course.
Staying Motivated Together
Learning German can be challenging, especially for beginners. By forming or joining an online study group, you are surrounding yourself with supportive peers who share the same goals. The accountability and encouragement that come from your group can be the difference between success and giving up.
Whether you’re planning to study in Germany or simply aiming to complete a German language course in Coimbatore, building a study group can accelerate your progress and keep you on track. These connections could become lifelong friendships that not only help you master German but also offer opportunities to practice the language in real-world contexts.
Conclusion
Building or joining a German learning community through online study groups is an excellent way to stay motivated and improve your language skills. As you progress in your German language course in Coimbatore, finding like-minded learners can be a valuable resource. With the right tools, dedication, and collaborative spirit, your journey to mastering German will be a rewarding experience.
From German classes in Coimbatore to global online communities, there's no shortage of opportunities to engage with other learners. So whether you're starting a German course in Coimbatore online or attending in-person, take advantage of these study groups to maximize your learning potential.

Using Local Online Forums and Groups for Music Promotion via Local Media
In today’s digital age, music promotion has evolved beyond traditional methods, with artists increasingly turning to online platforms to reach their audience. However, while social media giants like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter dominate the conversation, the potential of local online forums and groups is often overlooked. These platforms offer a unique opportunity for music promotion via local media, allowing artists to connect directly with their community in a more personal and targeted way. By engaging with local forums and groups, musicians can build a loyal fanbase, increase their visibility, and foster meaningful relationships with listeners who are likely to attend their shows, share their music, and support their journey.
1. The Role of Local Online Communities in Music Promotion: Local online communities are digital spaces where people with common interests gather to share information, experiences, and support. For musicians, these platforms can serve as valuable tools for music promotion via local media. Whether it’s a neighborhood Facebook group, a city-specific Reddit forum, or a local music enthusiasts' chat group, these communities are full of potential fans who are actively seeking to discover new music, especially from local artists.
Local online communities are not just about self-promotion; they’re about engagement. Musicians who actively participate in discussions, offer advice, share their journey, and genuinely connect with other members can build a strong presence. Over time, this can lead to increased recognition, more live show attendees, and a dedicated fanbase that feels personally invested in the artist’s success.
2. Identifying the Right Local Forums and Groups: The first step in leveraging local online communities for music promotion is identifying the right platforms. Not all forums and groups will be a good fit for your music, so it’s essential to find those that align with your genre, target audience, and location. Here are some strategies to help you find the best local online communities:
Research Local Forums: Start by searching for forums that cater to your city or region. Websites like Reddit have subreddits dedicated to specific cities or local interests. These can be a great place to start your promotion.
Join Neighborhood Groups: Platforms like Facebook and Nextdoor allow users to create and join neighborhood-specific groups. These groups are often highly engaged and provide a direct line to potential local fans.
Explore Music-Specific Communities: Look for local online communities that focus specifically on music. These might include forums for local bands, music appreciation groups, or even genre-specific communities that have a local focus.
Attend Local Online Events: Many online communities host virtual events, such as open mics, listening parties, or artist Q&A sessions. Participating in these events can help you connect with other artists and potential fans.
3. Engaging with Local Online Communities: Once you’ve identified the right platforms, the next step is to engage with the community. However, it’s important to approach this with authenticity and respect. Simply spamming links to your music is unlikely to yield positive results and may even lead to being banned from the group. Here’s how to engage effectively:
Be Active and Consistent: Regular participation in discussions is key to becoming a valued member of the community. Comment on other members’ posts, share relevant content, and offer your insights where appropriate.
Share Your Journey: People love stories, especially when they’re personal and relatable. Share your experiences as an artist, talk about your creative process, and discuss the challenges and successes you’ve encountered.
Provide Value: Offer something of value to the community, whether it’s advice for aspiring musicians, insights into the local music scene, or even organizing a virtual event for group members.
Promote Thoughtfully: When it comes to promoting your music, do so in a way that feels natural. For example, you could share a new track and ask for feedback, announce an upcoming local show, or invite group members to a live stream performance.
4. The Benefits of Building Relationships in Local Communities: The true power of local online forums and groups lies in the relationships you build. These connections can lead to more than just new listeners; they can result in collaborations, media coverage, and opportunities that might not have come about otherwise. By becoming an active and respected member of a local community, you position yourself as a key player in the local music scene.
Moreover, these relationships can extend beyond the online world. As you engage with local forums and groups, you may find that your digital connections translate into real-world support. Fans you’ve connected with online might attend your shows, purchase your merchandise, or help spread the word about your music. This grassroots approach to music promotion via local media can be incredibly effective, particularly for independent artists looking to make a name for themselves in their community.
5. Case Studies: Success Stories of Music Promotion via Local Media To illustrate the potential of local online forums and groups, consider the following case studies:
The Indie Band: A small indie band used their city’s subreddit to announce local shows, share behind-the-scenes content, and engage with fans. Over time, they became a staple in the local music scene, regularly drawing large crowds to their performances.
The Solo Artist: A solo artist found success by participating in a neighborhood Facebook group, where they shared their journey of creating an album during the pandemic. The group members supported their project by attending virtual concerts, purchasing the album, and spreading the word to their friends.
The Community Organizer: A local musician who also organized charity events used local online forums to promote their shows, which were often tied to community causes. This not only increased their visibility but also positioned them as a community leader.
6. Overcoming Challenges in Local Online Music Promotion: While local online forums and groups offer many benefits, there are challenges to be aware of. These might include:
Navigating Group Rules: Each group has its own set of rules and expectations. It’s important to familiarize yourself with these and adhere to them to avoid being seen as a spammer.
Dealing with Negative Feedback: Not everyone will love your music, and you may encounter criticism. Use this feedback constructively to improve your craft.
Maintaining Engagement: Consistently engaging with a community takes time and effort. It’s important to balance this with other aspects of your music career to avoid burnout.
Conclusion: In the evolving landscape of music promotion, local online forums and groups offer a unique and powerful avenue for artists to connect with their communities. By leveraging these platforms for music promotion via local media, musicians can build a dedicated fanbase, increase their visibility, and foster meaningful relationships with listeners who are genuinely interested in their music. While it requires time, effort, and authenticity, the rewards of engaging with local online communities can be substantial. These grassroots connections can lead to real-world success, providing independent artists with the support they need to thrive in their local music scene.

i have a few questions: mental health support group usually is a community/regional based. it would make them easier to access public buildings for free, etc. now with this arcwell, how will they do it? is it montecito only? or california only? but why they collect all data without regional limit? i don't believe people who suffer actually will come to them, but if there's any, and they're in texas let's say, then what? or all of them will be only online based? no physical meeting? but they said "Connect with fellow parents navigating similar experiences in small, peer-led groups" who will pay for the room?wasn't there already too many support groups/free group therapy/center for things like this in the US? like what i already said, even parents on their video are not those who haven't get support/therapy/help. so what actually archwll want to do? are they aware that they actually offer nothing?James Holt, archwll executive director, he's british, right? doesn't he have family? wife? kids? it's been more than 4 years now. did he moved his family to montecito? if so, is 227k enough to live there? his previous jobs were basically all PR/communication position. now with little to no one who actually paid employees in archwell, James basically does all the works, including separate initiative like this, or packing their donations, arrange overseas trips, and everything. what are his job descs now actually? isn't he tired to work with those two very unprofessional bosses?is "parents' network" possible to be trademarked? isn't it too generic?my impression watching the video, they want the parents to make "loosing children" to become their whole and only identity (just like how meg makes "once upon a time i had a suicide thoughts" as her only identity).. like the way one of the mom said "we will say your kids name over and over again" is it the correct approach on this issue? isn't the good support group is the one who give them access to positive activities, hobbies, jobs opportunities, etc? post link: https://ift.tt/Cl5LE8Z author: LocksmithFar9486 submitted: August 05, 2024 at 08:35AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

4. Online Communities and Forums
Joining online communities and forums dedicated to learning Quranic Arabic can provide support, motivation, and additional resources. Platforms like Reddit and Facebook Groups have communities where learners can ask questions, share tips, and connect with others on the same journey.
How to Learn Quranic Arabic
Learning Quranic Arabic requires dedication, consistency, and the right approach. Here are some practical steps to guide you through the process:
1. Start with the Basics
Begin by learning the Arabic alphabet and pronunciation. Understanding how to read and pronounce Arabic letters correctly is the foundation of Quranic Arabic.
2. Build Your Vocabulary
Focus on common words and phrases used in the Quran. Learning these will help you recognize and understand the text more quickly. Create flashcards or use apps like Anki to aid memorization.
3. Study Grammar
Quranic Arabic has unique grammatical structures that differ from Modern Standard Arabic. Invest time in learning the rules of Quranic grammar, including verb conjugations, sentence structures, and grammatical particles.
4. Practice Regularly
Consistency is key to mastering Quranic Arabic. Dedicate a specific time each day to study and practice. Regular reading, writing, and speaking exercises will help reinforce your learning.
5. Listen and Recite
Listening to Quranic recitations and trying to recite along can improve your pronunciation and understanding. Use resources like Tajweed courses to learn the proper rules of Quranic recitation.
The Advantage of Reading the Quran
Reading the Quran in its original Arabic language offers several significant advantages:
1. Authentic Understanding
The Quran was revealed in Arabic, and understanding it in its original language provides a deeper and more authentic grasp of its meanings and nuances. Translations, while helpful, may not fully capture the subtleties of the text.
2. Spiritual Connection
Reading the Quran in Arabic enhances the spiritual experience, as it connects the reader directly with the words revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The rhythmic and poetic nature of Quranic Arabic can have a profound emotional and spiritual impact.
3. Improved Focus and Reflection
Engaging with the Quran in Arabic encourages greater focus and reflection. The process of understanding and contemplating the text in its original language fosters a deeper connection and appreciation.
4. Enhanced Memory
Memorizing verses in Arabic can be easier due to the rhythmic and repetitive nature of the language. Many learners find that the structure of Quranic Arabic aids in retention and recall.
Understand Quranic Arabic
Understanding Quranic Arabic goes beyond just translating words; it involves grasping the context, themes, and messages conveyed in the text. Here are some tips to help you understand Quranic Arabic more effectively:
1. Contextual Reading
Study the historical and cultural context in which the Quran was revealed. Understanding the circumstances surrounding the revelation of specific verses can provide valuable insights into their meanings.
2. Tafsir (Exegesis)
Consult reputable tafsir works to gain a deeper understanding of the Quranic verses. Tafsir provides explanations and interpretations from Islamic scholars that can clarify complex or ambiguous passages.
3. Vocabulary Study
Focus on Quranic vocabulary and its usage. Many words in the Quran have multiple meanings depending on the context. Learning these nuances can enhance your comprehension.
4. Consistent Practice
Regularly read and recite the Quran in Arabic. Consistent exposure to the text will help you become more familiar with its language and structure, leading to better understanding over time.
Best Way to Memorize the Quran During Fajr
Memorizing the Quran during the early hours of Fajr can be highly effective. The mind is fresh and free from distractions, making it an ideal time for focused learning. Here are some tips to maximize your memorization during Fajr:
1. Create a Routine
Establish a consistent Fajr memorization routine. Dedicate a specific amount of time each day to memorize new verses and revise previously memorized ones.
2. Minimize Distractions
Find a quiet and peaceful place to recite and memorize the Quran. Avoid distractions such as electronic devices and social media during this time.
3. Use Repetition
Repeat the verses multiple times to reinforce memorization. Break the verses into smaller sections and focus on perfecting each section before moving on.
4. Seek Guidance
Consider seeking guidance from a qualified teacher or joining a memorization group. Having support and accountability can motivate you and ensure you are on the right track.
5. Reflect and Understand
Take the time to understand the meanings of the verses you are memorizing. Reflecting on the meanings can enhance your connection to the text and aid in retention.

Title: Enhancing Kodi Exodus Experience with a VPN: Here’s Why You Need One
In the realm of online streaming, Kodi Exodus has emerged as a go-to platform for accessing a vast array of movies and TV shows. However, like any online activity, streaming via Kodi Exodus comes with its own set of risks and limitations, which can be effectively mitigated with the use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
