A press release from Aix Marseille University today said that the program is for American scientists who “may feel threatened or hindered in their research,” and is “dedicated to welcoming scientists wishing to pursue their work in an environment conducive to innovation, excellence and academic freedom.”

In an interview with AFP, University management said that the invitation is in the “DNA of Marseille” values, and that it has previously invited researchers from Ukraine, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Palestine as part of a program that supports researchers and artists forced into exile.

Most of the #oligarchs submitted, but those who didn’t went to #prison or into #exile, lest they fall prey to the country’s epidemic of window-plunging deaths. (Khodorkovsky was imprisoned, putatively for fraud & tax evasion, but really for supporting independent media & opposition parties.) Since then, affinity for #Putin has been a sine qua non of high-level economic success in Russia.

#Plutarch #ParallelLives #Camillus 7/

After he had kissed his wife and son good-bye, he went from his house in silence as far as the gate of the city. There he stopped, turned himself about, and stretching his hands out towards the Capitol, prayed the gods that, if with no justice, but through the wantonness of the people and the abuse of the envious he was now being driven from his country, the Romans might speedily repent, and show to all men that they needed and longed for Camillus.

[Section 12]

As queers and exiles of all kinds, remember that it's up to us to preserve the memory our love and living practices.

Many of us had no practices instilled in us by any queers in our lives, since many of us grew up in an era without queer elders, without a history being communicated by anyone trusted in our lives. Instead, many of us were struggling alone against (in America at least) the heavily Christian-coded practices of capitalist, consumerist hegemony.

We had to develop our own practices.
To keep ourselves and each other safer.
To accept and express ourselves.
To develop community, and love.

It's up to us to protect the memory of these practices, their living history. We cannot expect our memory to be kept by the textbooks of machine that exists to Eat Worlds, to alienate peoples - to produce workers.

We keep the memory of our love, our life, alive. We have to.

And we have the power to do more than those that came before us, so that those after us can walk with our knowledge, our failures.

Celebrate around shrines of your love. Let them burn as bright as your heart.

Build temples of rest for exiles. Let them be sanctuaries of self-acceptance as endless becomings.

⭐ How Did the Babylonian Exile Shape Judaism?

"The Babylonians also changed the names of the Israelite nobles to reflect the Babylonian gods instead of the God the Israelites served in Jerusalem. They were also required to eat from the table Nebuchadnezzar had set before them. Babylonian cuisine went contrary to Israelite traditions and faith."

De Jager, Eben. "How Did the Babylonian Exile Shape Judaism?" TheCollector.com, thecollector.com/babylonian-ex (accessed September 28, 2024).

TheCollector · How Did the Babylonian Exile Shape Judaism?The Babylonian exile marked a significant point in the history of Judah. During this period, the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and the Jewish Temple.
