We reached 1k subscribers on the channel relatively recently.
Never thought this mind-garbage-can sort of place I initially used as an archive of things I enjoy, find interesting, or deem important would grow so big.
To thank you all, I decided to make a list of cool themed channels under 1k subscribers that deserve more eyes on them.
Themed channels because most of telegram seems to be shitposting or variety posting (nothing wrong with either of those, I include this channel in the last category), and I think it can be hard to find more niche content on this app.
Here are some niche gems, curated by yours truly :
• @RAREandOLDbooks
→ rare and old books PDFs
• @fragjourney
→ perfume reviews
• @TheBeautyOfPublicTransportSeats
→ public transport seats pictures
• @necropoleis
→ cemetery photography (original content)
• @chlorophyliac
→ anti-anthropocentric photography
• @plantfuckingbased
→ vegan cooking
• @dailyegypt
→ daily Ancient Egypt history posts
• @adressewebdelapage
→ book binding and crafting
• @LovetheBees
→ bees
• @Foundagain
→ curated visual art pieces
• @iaata
→ anti-authoritarian info in the Toulouse region
• @everythingtea

Preventable deaths in a warming world: how politics shapes who lives and who dies | The Conversation
"Cameroonian historian Achille Mbembe introduced the idea of “necropolitics” to explain how some lives come to be treated as more expendable than others. This does not imply intent to kill, but rather the routine political acceptance that some people will be exposed to harm.
[...]
deaths were shaped not only by heat, but by structural inequalities and gaps in policy and infrastructure.
This logic is visible globally. In south Asia and the Middle East, heatwaves claim the lives of elderly people and outdoor workers. In sub-Saharan Africa, floods and droughts disproportionately affect subsistence farmers.
In the UK, air pollution is linked to roughly 30,000 deaths annually. People from ethnic minority and low-income communities are more likely to live in the most polluted areas. These deaths are not random. They follow recognisable social patterns.
Mbembe’s concept helps describe situations where political, economic or social arrangements leave some populations consistently exposed to harm. That includes climate-vulnerable communities, places where resources are being extracted through mining or areas where people are displaced from their homes."

Preventable suffering is both widespread and socially produced.

Elderly Palestinians determined to stay in Gaza despite terrible conditions | Al Jazeera
"for many elderly Palestinians in Gaza, staying in the enclave is an act of survival, resistance, and historical memory. Rafah may be open, but they are not planning to go anywhere.
In Kefaya al-Assar’s mind, that decision to stay is an effort to correct what she perceives to have been a historical mistake made by her parents – fleeing their village of Julis, which was depopulated in the 1948 Nakba, and is now within Israel.
[...]
“History repeats itself now,” she said. “My parents lost all their money when they were forced to flee. We also used to have money, but now we are displaced and have lost everything.”
[...]
“I don’t want to repeat history, I want to die in my own country,” she said. “Even here, being in Nuseirat, I feel like a stranger. I wish I could go back to Jabalia.”
Her home in Jabalia was destroyed during the war, meaning that, for now, she is staying in Nuseirat. But she is still adamant that it will not mean her departure from Gaza.
“I will not leave for medical treatment outside … I choose to die on my own land rather than be treated outside,” she said.
[...]
The Rafah crossing partially opened on Monday after being largely closed by Israel since May 2024.
The opening of the crossing is part of the second phase of the Gaza “ceasefire”, even as Israel continues to violate the agreement by regularly attacking the Palestinian enclave, killing hundreds.
[...]
“Israel is creating unlivable conditions in Gaza, denying Palestinians all essentials of life,” said Talal Abu Rukba, a political science professor at al-Azhar University in Gaza. “When people resist and stay in their homeland, they ruin the Israeli project of creating an Israeli state on a land ‘without a people'”.
[...]
Nazmeya has her own previous experience of displacement at the hands of Israel – like Kefaya’s parents, she was forced to flee her home in the 1948 Nakba, along with about 750,000 other Palestinians.
Originally from Jerusalem, her family was displaced to Gaza after 1948.
“All my life was displacement and wars since the Nakba,” Nazmeya said. “I am 85, and tired, lonely, ill and displaced, but I would never leave Gaza. I would live as a beggar and homeless and never leave Gaza.”"

Elderly Palestinians determined to stay in Gaza despite terrible conditions
Chronic displacement and trauma burden Gaza's elderly, but they cling to their homeland as an act of defiance.

In your backyard flowers beaten,
Blown away by cold winds.
Buds deflowered,
Blooms trampled,
Stems torn off.
No more tears to shed,
Dried up, empty.
Barely holding their shape,
Already resigned to dust.
You see it without truly watching,
And accept it as natural order.
Hoping for spring, hazily dreaming, coping
With the frozen hands of death around their necks.
Letting the cycle repeat,
Everyday, every hour, every minute,
Everywhere.
Silent.
Man, winter.
Woman, wither.
Blown away by cold winds.

Chocolate cookies
Ingredients :
• 2 and ⅓ cups flour
• 1 and ¼ cup sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla powder
• 1 tsp cardamom
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ⅔ tsp salt
• ½ cup margarine, melted
• ½ cup soy milk
• ½ cup tahini
• ~150g dark chocolate
• sea salt (optional)
Instructions :
Pre-heat your oven at 175°C.
In a big bowl, mix the flour, sugar, vanilla, cardamom, baking powder and salt until you get a homogenous powder.
Add the margarine, soy milk and tahini. Mix well until you get a kneadable dough.
Cut your chocolate into 1×1cm chunks (or use pre-made chunks/chips), and fold them in the dough evenly.
With a bit of flour on your hands, separate your dough in 12 equal balls that you'll place on baking paper on an oven tray.
Press your balls a little with the palm of your hand, then leave in the oven for 15 mins.
Once you take the cookies out, don't eat them yet : let them cool down for ~15 mins, the time for the cooking progress to finish.

Claiming to be anti-oppression, anti-exploitation, and participating in the daily abuse and murders of other animals is cognitive dissonance at best, and hypocrisy at worst.
Speciest exploitation follows the same logic as ableism, racism, sexism and many more forms of oppression : seeing an individual as "lesser than", justifying violence against them by dismissing their suffering, and portraying them as a thing to be used, a ressource to be exploited, a commodity.
Being antifascist, anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-ableism, anti-capitalist, anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia, anti-xenophobia, AND vegan is simply being morally consistent.
