#Celebrating my 5 year #nonbinary #anniversary

#Being #Nonbinary, I would come to understand, is a #gender categorisation that lands somewhere #between, and #beyond, #male and #female. It takes many different forms, ranging from #rejecting the #gender all together, to #inhibiting #aspects of the “#masculine” and “#feminine” within your #human #spirit simultaneously.

#UnitedMethodistChurch lifts 40-year #ban on #LGBTQ+ #clergy, #samesexmarriage. ‘We no longer say #being #gay is a #sin’

The #UMC #GeneralConference in #NorthCarolina with a #historic 692-51 #vote #repealed their #ban on #LGBTQ #clergy and on #UMC #pastors #officiating at #samesexweddings.

Most opposition to #LGBTQ+ #rights in the #UnitedStates still emanates from #Christian #pulpits.

Nobel Laureate economist #Angus #Deaton has delivered a ferocious rebuke to his own profession, saying economists have failed to understand that ⭐️capitalism is about power.⭐️

Deaton lobs a series of truth bombs at his own profession, the result, he says, of “changing my mind, a discomfiting process for someone who has been a practising economist for more than half a century”.

These include:

🔸“We have largely stopped thinking about #ethics and about what constitutes human #well-#being”.

🔸If “economists should focus on efficiency and leave equity to others, to politicians or administrators… 🔹the others regularly fail to materialise🔹, so that when efficiency comes with upward redistribution
— frequently though not inevitably
— our recommendations become little more than a #license for #plunder”.

🔸“#Historians, who understand about contingency and about multiple and multidirectional causality, often do a better job than economists of identifying important mechanisms…”

🔸Far from being “a nuisance that interfered with economic (and often personal) efficiency”, #unions “once raised wages for members and nonmembers, they were an important part of social capital in many places, and they brought political power to working people in the workplace and in local, state, and federal governments.

🔸Their decline is contributing to the falling wage share, to the widening #gap between executives and workers, to community #destruction, and to rising #populism.”

🔸“I am much more sceptical of the benefits of free trade to American workers and am even sceptical of the claim, which I and others have made in the past, that globalisation was responsible for the vast reduction in global poverty over the past 30 years”.

🔸Immigration contributes to inequality.

But Deaton’s main point is a recognition of how #power distorts #policy:
“Our emphasis on the virtues of free, competitive markets and exogenous technical change can distract us from the importance of power in setting prices and wages, in choosing the direction of technical change, and in influencing politics to change the rules of the game.”

A #SlowWalk for #SevenOnSunday (unlike a hike, a slow walk is not about going someplace, it is about
#being someplace -of course hikes *can* do this too).
Colours just starting to tip over into #autumn #LeafMother starts with the understory, forbs and shrubs and begins to dull the greens in preparation for the over the top displays to come.

Photo collage in 7 panels, two top, two bottom, 3 across middle. Framed in gold in centre blending to golden-green top / bottom. Top two photos:2 similar views across wetlands on the farm. Foreground is open area, seasonally/variably wet grass /sedgeland with variety of native forbs + introduced agricultural weeds. At this season it is +/- green, but bit by bit gradually shifting gold. Naturally and or browsed (cattle seasonally, moose all year) low willow + dwarf birch, grow out of the grass, gradually gaining density and height farther back in a zone less cattle impacted and/or not cleared for pasture for a long time. First a zone of willows/dwarf birch reaching a metre or couple , then taller willows, paper birch, poplars, spruce tamarack, then where the ground is a little higher, taller poplars, tamarack + spruce. Leaves are green sliding into gold tones. Sky is a bit hazy and lightly overcast, so that it has faded to near white in the photos. Centre left and right, close views of willow leaves already turned gold with some brown bits, red bits and bits still green. Centre a Petasites/Sweet Coltsfoot large leaf, oddly nearly immaculate and green still (they are often brown and disintegrated by autumn) Bottom two views into groves of young and rapidly growing Tamarack/Larch trees, their soft, feathery needles still fully green, with an understory of small willows and dwarf birch, many -along with the grass- showing some fall colour and/or already defoliated.
