Important post from @npub12zq9...4zec about what we're trying to do at @npub18wlg...wxmu - and how you can help
Very pleased that @npub18wlg...wxmu has a Portuguese article out today, about Angolan writer and activist Domingos da Cruz - translation into other languages to come! Muito feliz que o @npub18wlg...wxmu tenha publicado hoje um artigo em português sobre Domingos da Cruz!
I am proud to work for an organization that not only covers important durian issues, but also covers the political economy of international durian investment and trade with perspectives from both countries and quotes in both languages. I love it. Please support @npub18wlg...wxmu so we can continue this important work!
The @npub18wlg...wxmu fundraising drive is almost at 100 donors, the vast majority of them new donors for us! That is so much support for independent, non-profit, free global news and analysis. Can you join them and get us up to 100? Any amount helps! image
A favorite recent @globalvoices.org story: I love this article about telenovela cross-over and creative responses to digital authoritarianism, a collaboration between two of our contributors from different parts of the world able to analyze together the connections!
Reminder that @globalvoices.org is a non-profit providing FREE, ad-free community journalism, commentary, translation, and analysis from all over the planet because doing so makes the Internet, and the world, a better place. And in the current funding situation, we can't do it without your help:
Global news you may have missed from the past week, including the doctors' strike in Ethiopia, censorship of Grok and other tech in Turkey; and a mini-pod episode about statelessness and identity in South Africa, plus fantastic book and music recs from the @npub18wlg...wxmu community!
Weekly global news digest from @npub18wlg...wxmu curated by me, with stories about Turkish censorship, Ethiopian doctors on strike, the latest episode of the Where Are You REALLY From mini-podcast, and some banger music and book recs from our community!
At @npub18wlg...wxmu we're trying to raise $250,000 to keep our newsroom and translation going. That's a lot of money. But last quarter we had more than 450,000 page views; $1 for each of them- the cost of a fairly old-timey newspaper -would have us more than covered. If you enjoy our articles, chip in the cost of a coffee, or $10, or $15. Help us to keep offering the coverage you value.
Thank you for facing it out, Harvard Bookstore! ☺️ image
