Recommendation for Membership

Your essay's central thesis is fascinating, not an area I could have spoken to, and sheds light on Diasporic Coping Mechanisms that I had never considered. I can, however, speak to the "absence-guilt", having felt it myself when my grandparents died. My Nana died 4 months before I attained citizenship, and her funeral was the day I left for my gap year, and I was unable to attend. It is heartening to me that this is not just something I feel but indeed is part of cultural and spiritual practice in cultures I am not even familiar with, truly eye and soul soothing to me.
Autoethnography is often a fascinating form of study, and in terms of this society's future work, it offers an accessible yet meaningful alternative to wider academic forms of phenomenology. Our pool of potential participants is relatively small, but it offers greater insight than many quantitative studies can capture.
I do, however, have some Peer Review Feedback.
Although not a failing in writing, I do feel that the ontological or philosophical alignment between the specific drumming tradition and the Bon Odori may not quite be clear. To elevate this past the risk of aesthetic extraction, the paper needs to briefly explain if/how these two traditions share a common understanding of rhythm as a spiritual portal or community anchor. Speaking as a media academic, the drum beat and its representation and use in such applications as horror is often used to represent the heartbeat and the feelings on an automatic level of the characters being portrayed, fast for high tension, slow for despair, etc. There is something primal about this, and I'm sure transcendent across many cultures; I just feel that your essay should attempt to state it outright.

To conclude, I find your paper to be an excellent fit for the society. Your qualitative research methods, somatic studies, and advocacy for a structural shift away from sedentary, silent, and internalised sorrow toward active, expressive, and cross-cultural physical performance is truly inspiring. The Talossan culture as a whole lacks some of our funary traditions, and this could be explored further in future study and an opportunity to look into how we might learn from other cultures, considering the diasporic nature of our nation.

I, therefore, as President of The Royal Society for the Advancement of Knowledge, Commend to the peers of this society and call upon its members to second my nomination for Crement Itravilatx to join our ranks as Senior Fellow, having offered a paper as their form of lecture and having attained at least a 2-year college degree. What say we?

Hi @Tierçéu Rôibeardescù

Is the voting period for Crement's membership open-ended?

@Tierçéu Rôibeardescù ??

I can't believe I didn't think of it earlier. With the Summit and all the activity since I think a special on allegations against me and the crimes of CCX and Iusti Canun would be good for an episode of Abbavilla Digest.

It will probably later in the year though. I need to gather the information on Iusti Canun which I think might be in the Old Witt.

Edit: I was not aware of John McGarry, I will add him to the episode.

Quote from: Viteu on May 15, 2023, 10:07:01 PM90 people participated in the election by voting, therefore the number is 90.

No.

Abstaining is by its very nature non-participation.

The fact that it establishes that the voter was present does not change that.

No. If Abstention means participation for the purpose of two-strike, then it necessarily means participation in the referendum.

Not sorry, but your org law failed. And Miestra tried to hide it, like she took a few months to report CCX. After all, she sat on that since February.

This was an unfair accusation from V. I am researching the events for an Abbavilla Digest special.

Looking forward to Clarking this. Co-sponsors are welcome.

Not sure what you are talking about. An encouragement for the URL to participate in a program addressing our very low immigration rates is to be welcomed. Also welcoming the participation of a Green Party member? As the party leader I will raise my glass to that. Did we receive any responses from the URL?

Hi there!  Just wanted to check in -- how are you doing?  Seen anything around here that's been interesting so far?

Azul! I'm doing well, though I'm having a very intense and energy-draining period of time now. Can't spend much time here. Today I logged in by chance and saw your message. Hope you're also doing well!

Please use "Progs" as the abbreviation for our party members.  I mentioned that just now, but I'll repeat it again.  I know that you sometimes just won't listen, and it causes you problems, but hopefully this will help you remember.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 24, 2026, 09:59:27 AMJust so you're aware, our preferred abbreviation is "Prog," not "PA."

Anyway, the election did finish, and I was asked to run again as both party leader and Seneschal candidate.  We've had a very effective term, and I appreciate the confidence from my party members as we gear up to continue our success.  I am grateful to þerxh, XPB, Françal, BenArd, Mximo, Duke John, Tong Mun Kit, and Moinul Moin for their support, but I'm also aware that none of this would be possible without that amazing team working with me.

I am glad to see the PA made a decision. And thank you for answering. I leave it to voters to render a verdict on the effectiveness of your term in office.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 24, 2026, 10:15:44 AMOkay, current volunteers are:
@King Txec
@Françal I. Lux
@Moinul Moin
@Sir Lüc
@Barclamïu da Miéletz
@Muhammed Yasir
Me

That's actually a pretty amazing line-up, and I think we're ready to go!

@Muhammed Yasir Thank you for volunteering. Good to see the government acknowledging the excellent character of the Green Party. I am sad to see no members of the URL?
