Stipe Pleic, Bosnia's 'first Viking,' has followed in Ragnar's footsteps, making weapons by hand, decorating the walls of his house with swords and shields, and dressing like the character. In this thread, our community discusses this case and whether or not they'll go total immersion in a characters' lifestyle. This Slogging thread by Mónica Freitas, Sara Pinto, Jack Boreham and Limarc Ambalina occurred in slogging's official #random channel, and has been edited for readability. Mónica Freitas Feb 1, 2022, 5:25 PM A 21st century Ragnar? https://www.euronews.com/culture/2022/01/31/meet-the-bosnian-viking-living-as-his-favourite-fictional-character Mónica Freitas Feb 1, 2022, 5:26 PM "With his thick grey beard, plaited hair and an arsenal of medieval weapons, Bosnia's 'first Viking' relaxes by hurling axes in the attic of his stone cottage. Over the past five years, Stipe Pleic has undergone a steady transformation from builder to Nordic warrior in homage to the popular 'Vikings'. The metamorphosis began after Pleic returned home to Tomislavgrad in southern Bosnia after years working on construction sites in Germany." https://www.euronews.com/culture/tag/television Mónica Freitas Feb 1, 2022, 5:32 PM Stipe Pleic has followed in Ragnar's footsteps, making weapons by hand (from axes, spears, bows to shields, with some pieces sold for up to €300), decorating the walls of his house with swords and shields, and dressing as the character (tunic and matching trousers). He even replicated a Drakkar (a flat-bottomed boat capable of crossing oceans)! Mónica Freitas Feb 1, 2022, 5:33 PM Jack Boreham, Limarc Ambalina, Abeer, Sara Pinto, Blake Cram, Linh Smooke, Daniel Guzman what do you guys think of this? Would you ever go full emersion on a character? Which character would you choose? Sara Pinto Feb 2, 2022, 1:00 PM Mónica Freitas, oh wow, that takes commitment! And money! I don't think I could do it. I would miss some things about the current world. But if I was to do it, I would choose something like Marie Antoinette in the movie, before the tragic ending, of course, haha. There's something about the corsets and the big hair that I like. What about you? Jack Boreham Feb 2, 2022, 1:52 PM I would, I would live out my last days as Darth Vader, in a cape and everything 😂hahah Limarc Ambalina Feb 2, 2022, 4:42 PM This guy is my Hero. I don’t think we can call him a Viking. Limarc Ambalina Feb 2, 2022, 4:42 PM I think for me to say this is a real-life Viking, he needs to survive off the land and by pillaging (stealing), lol. 😂 3 Mónica Freitas Feb 3, 2022, 3:46 PM Sara Pinto, corsets are great, but they prevent you from breathing, at least the ones Marie Antoinette used. I'd like to live as a medieval princess or a greek oracle. And yes, I'd do it all for the garments and the mystery, haha! Mónica Freitas Feb 3, 2022, 3:47 PM Jack Boreham, halloween costume unlocked! I can imagine you trying to use the force on the remote control, haha. Mónica Freitas Feb 3, 2022, 3:49 PM Limarc Ambalina, maybe that's going to be his next step 😂 What/who would you be? Limarc Ambalina Feb 4, 2022, 2:13 AM Vikings (the show) I think is super underrated, and I really love this guy just for his passion for it. I don't think I'd ever want to become a Viking though, their lifespans were too short (at least I assume so when most of your life is raiding and pillaging). 🔥 1 Limarc Ambalina Feb 4, 2022, 2:14 AM "And in his garden, he has built a replica of a Drakkar – a flat-bottomed boat capable of crossing oceans – which he occasionally sails on a nearby lake." I think with the hype this guy has drawn, he could make a killing giving tours and selling his stuff on Etsy 😄 Limarc Ambalina Feb 4, 2022, 2:14 AM Sara Pinto Feb 4, 2022, 9:07 PM Mónica Freitas, they may not let you breathe properly, but boy do they look stylish haha. Great choice! The garments are always worth it, haha! Mónica Freitas Feb 4, 2022, 9:22 PM Limarc Ambalina, yup! I can't get over Lagertha. I still have to check out the latest seasons. Unfortunately, Netflix only has until the 4th one. Mónica Freitas Feb 4, 2022, 9:22 PM Limarc Ambalina, don't give him any ideas. I can see him opening a Viking-inspired hostel someday. Maybe this is worth a pitch! Mónica Freitas Feb 4, 2022, 9:23 PM Sara Pinto, the things we do fashion 😂 if only we could travel back in time! I'd love to see the Greek temples in their prime years... Sara Pinto Feb 7, 2022, 11:25 AM Mónica Freitas, the worst part is that we may change what we wear and what we use, but the time won't go back for us to have the full experience. :smiling_face_with_tear: 1 Mónica Freitas Feb 7, 2022, 4:04 PM Sara Pinto, that's the real downside. Though I'm not sure I'd like to have the full women experience of the past. Not keen on having my rights stripped away. Sara Pinto Feb 8, 2022, 12:01 PM Mónica Freitas, that's true. Maybe sticking with the garments and some parts of the lifestyle is not that bad haha. This guy can be really on to something. Mónica Freitas Feb 8, 2022, 1:50 PM Sara Pinto, I'm curious to know if there are more people following in his footsteps. Many people still do LARP, so maybe it's not too far-fetched to think there are more Stipe Pleic's out there. 🔥 1

Conclusions and References Abstract: This personal narrative is a critical reflection and affirmation letter to Black women. Throughout this commentary, at the end of each section, I have included what I call “gems”. I hope they serve as a manifesto for our collective healing from working in institutions that center on the ideologies and practices of dominance. This piece particularly focuses on the dominant ideology and practice of “whiteness” within institutions as a surveillance tool through policy that directly impacts Black women’s wellbeing through gender anti-black racism. Through storytelling and drawing on Black feminist scholarship, this narrative exposes the challenges I faced with institutional policies and practices as I pursued my career in both academia and social service work. Throughout this narrative, I highlight how the undercurrent of whiteness is embedded in the foundation of institutional policy and practices. This narrative serves as a demand for institutional accountability and reckoning with the coloniality of epistemology and ontology. There is a great emotional toll for Black women who are confronting and resisting gendered anti-black racism with deep internal struggles and triumphs. The violent institutional practices seek to eclipse Black women’s ability to dream, imagine and create. Whiteness is centered in institutional infrastructure, serves as a distraction, and impedes our ability to conceptualize the world we desire. We deserve to have imagination in our work. This narrative is a reflection of the harm of whiteness, a guide for Black women's academics, a manifesto for change, and a testament to our humanity. Abstract 1. Introduction “Real radicalism implores us to tell the whole ugly truth, even when it is inconvenient. To own the hurt and the pain. To own our shit, too. To think about it systemically and collectively, but never to diminish the importance of the trauma.”
—Brittney Cooper, Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower “Real radicalism implores us to tell the whole ugly truth, even when it is inconvenient. To own the hurt and the pain. To own our shit, too. To think about it systemically and collectively, but never to diminish the importance of the trauma.” “Real radicalism implores us to tell the whole ugly truth, even when it is inconvenient. To own the hurt and the pain. To own our shit, too. To think about it systemically and collectively, but never to diminish the importance of the trauma.” “Real radicalism implores us to tell the whole ugly truth, even when it is inconvenient. To own the hurt and the pain. To own our shit, too. To think about it systemically and collectively, but never to diminish the importance of the trauma.” —Brittney Cooper, Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower —Brittney Cooper, Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower —Brittney Cooper, Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower I decided to write this narrative in the wake of the recent forced resignation of Harvard University president Dr. Claudine Gay and the tragic death of Lincoln University’s administrator, Dr. Antoinette “Bonnie” Candia-Bailey. There are numerous Black women who have faced forced resignations or untimely deaths while holding faculty and administrator positions at universities across the United States. My hope is that this open narrative and manifesto serve as a call for accountability and a testament to the unwavering strength and resilience of Black women. As I observe Black women being targeted and harmed by institutional practices and left to fend for themselves, it forces me to wonder what my fate is as an emerging scholar. As a Black woman myself, who recently completed my doctoral degree in social welfare, my apprehensions about my future as an emerging scholar extend beyond academic realms. As I near the finish line of this part of my academic journey, I grapple with concerns about my wellbeing in academia as I remain steadfast as a research scientist–activist while maintaining my humanity through the challenges in academia while fulfilling the obligations associated with a Doctor of Philosophy This narrative does not aim to represent the diverse experiences of Black women, as Black womanhood is not a monolith. Rather, this piece stands as my personal contribution to the scholarly documentation of the collective journey I share with many Black women who have come before me and who will succeed me. Within the academic and social service field, where the written word is crucial and deemed as supreme evidence, I present this narrative as material proof of our experiences and a call for citation. This piece serves as my contribution as an emerging Black feminist scholar to address the dearth of scholarship that acknowledges both implicit and explicit policies that result in the exploitation and dehumanization of Black women. In the vast fields of academia and social service work, which include nonprofit organizations, philanthropy, and research think tanks, Black women experience extraction, exploitation, and various forms of control. The exhaustion is apparent, and a collective weariness prevails. This narrative is an expression of that exhaustion and serves as a call for change and action. Gem #1: Believe your experience.

Whiteness as a Barrier: A Black Feminist's Call for Institutional Accountability

Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election marked a major turning point for the crypto industry. Thus far, he has partially fulfilled some of his promises to the crypto industry. As of March 2025, crypto is considered legal in some form under the laws of 106 jurisdictions. That is over half of all UN member states, which number 193. These include: 44 countries in Europe 27 out of 34 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean 20 out of 53 countries in Asia 9 out of 54 countries in Africa 6 out of 14 countries in Oceania. As of March 2025, crypto is considered legal in some form under the laws of 106 jurisdictions. That is over half of all UN member states, which number 193. Trump’s Impact On Crypto Regulation Trump’s Impact On Crypto Regulation Let us take a deep dive into Trump's promises for the crypto industry and what he has fulfilled thus far. Dismiss The SEC Chair Dismiss The SEC Chair As part of his campaign promises, Trump promised to dismiss SEC Chair Gary Gensler once he took office. Trump fulfilled that promise, with Gensler announcing his retirement from the SEC before Trump had a chance to fire him. End Crypto Crackdown End Crypto Crackdown Trump promised to end the crypto crackdown that was being pursued across different levels of the federal government. Thus far, that seems to be working out, with information indicating that the SEC might soon drop its appeal against Ripple (XRP). Establish A Crypto Advisory Council Establish A Crypto Advisory Council On January 23, 2025, Trump established a Working Group on Digital Asset Markets through an executive order. This essentially fulfills his promise to give the crypto industry a voice at the highest office in the US federal government. executive order executive order Full Pardon For Ross Ulbricht Full Pardon For Ross Ulbricht Within a few days of taking office, Donald Trump gave a full pardon to Ross Ulbricht, who was serving consecutive life sentences for running the darknet market Silk Road. Establish A Bitcoin Reserve Establish A Bitcoin Reserve On March 6, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order to establish a national Bitcoin Reserve. The executive order is the biggest signal yet that Trump is going all-in with the crypto industry. While he would still need to overcome hurdles in Congress to get it enacted into law, it signals that he is serious about making the US a global leader in the crypto industry. executive order executive order Launched A Meme Coin Launched A Meme Coin In a show of support for the crypto industry, President Trump, as well as his wife, launched a meme coin on the eve of his inauguration. The meme coins, named Trump and Melania, respectively, were launched on the Solana blockchain. Countries That Created Crypto Laws In 2024 Countries That Created Crypto Laws In 2024 Several countries that had no crypto regulations before launched crypto laws in 2024. Let us take a closer look at these countries: Türkiye Türkiye Turkey's parliament amended the Capital Markets Law in June 2024. Under the new law, crypto asset service providers operating in the country will require authorization from the Capital Markets Board (SPK). Bolivia Bolivia Bolivia’s central bank lifted a four-year ban on crypto transactions in June 2024. Financial institutions can now engage with the crypto sector. Seychelles Seychelles Seychelles passed the Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill 2024, which establishes a framework for virtual asset providers and token issuers operating in the country. Tanzania Tanzania In the Finance Act 2024, Tanzania introduced a 3% tax on non-resident operators of crypto platforms when they make payments to Tanzanians. Kenya Kenya In early 2025, Kenya introduced a draft policy framework for Virtual Assets (VAs) and Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs). Hungary Hungary Hungary made several regulatory changes in June 2024 to comply with several EU regulations including the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR), Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), and NIS2 Directive (Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems). Following the passing of Act VII of 2024, the Hungarian Central Bank is tasked with crypto regulation in the country. Latvia Latvia On April 30, 2024, Latvia’s Cabinet reviewed the Crypto-Asset Service Law. The next step is for the law to be adopted by Parliament. The law establishes the Bank of Latvia as the main authority under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR). It also introduces a €2,500 fee for authorization and various other fees that include a €5,000+0.6% annual fee under license from gross revenue of crypto asset services. It also introduces various fines and penalties. Armenia Armenia In late February 2025, Armenia’s Finance Minister Vahe Hovhannisyan said the country plans to launch its first crypto regulation. The law will, among other things, establish clear rights and responsibilities for crypto service providers as well as their customers. Uruguay Uruguay In October 2024, Uruguay’s president Luis Lacalle Pou, signed into law a bill regulating the crypto sector. Under the new law, the central will oversee virtual assets service providers (VASPs), including granting permits. Meanwhile, the Superintendence of Financial Service (SSF) has been tasked with identifying miners, wallets, and exchanges that can be classified as VASPs. Azerbaijan Azerbaijan Azerbaijan’s central bank announced in December 2024 that it is working on a bill to regulate crypto assets and service providers as part of a 2024-2026 strategy for the development of the financial market. Cambodia Cambodia Cambodia’s National Bank published digital asset rules in early 2025 targeted at banks and payment service providers. Banks can now have exposure to approved stablecoins and tokenized assets. However, they may not have first-party exposure to cryptocurrencies. However, the country’s ban on crypto persists. Kosovo Kosovo Following the energy crisis of 2022, Kosovo outlawed all crypto mining. In September 2024, Kosovo’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) attended the Cyberkop Action of the Octopus Project, an initiative by the Council of Europe for a workshop on crypto. It could lay the groundwork for the establishment of crypto regulation in the country. Crypto Regulation In Europe Crypto Regulation In Europe 2024 was a major year for crypto regulation in Europe. Following the publishing of Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR) on June 9, 2023, it became applicable to issuers of Asset-Referenced Tokens (ARTs) and E-Money Tokens (EMTs) on 30 June 2024 and applicable to Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) on 30 December 2024. While the new rules could make it harder for small platforms to operate in the EU, major exchanges did not face any significant hurdles in obtaining licenses. The new rules for EU countries that had no crypto regulation, namely Hungary and Latvia, to adopt crypto regulation. It also affected non-EU countries in Europe, such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Kosovo, to begin work on crypto regulation. Thus far, there are no European nations with a gray status when it comes to crypto regulation, except for Moldova, Bosnia, and Montenegro. Crypto Regulation In Latin America and the Caribbean Crypto Regulation In Latin America and the Caribbean The region saw a major increase in regulation. However, 7 out of 34 countries still have no regulation. Despite this, there were some notable improvements, including the lift of a crypto ban by Bolivia, which plans to adopt AML regulation in 2025. Argentina remains a leader in crypto regulation in the region, with over 100 licensed crypto companies. Meanwhile, El Salvador has quietly concealed the status of Bitcoin as legal tender and tightened conditions for obtaining a crypto license after pressure from the IMF. Uruguay adopted a law on cryptocurrencies, while Peru's financial intelligence service approved the procedure for registering cryptocurrency companies. In Venezuela, following a pause on the National Superintendency of Crypto Assets (Sunacrip) due to corruption, the government introduced new regulations for the sector in November 2024. However, as of March 2025, there is no current update on the enforcement of these new rules. In Paraguay, attempts to ban crypto and crypto mining suffered setbacks. Paraguay remains home to major mining operations as of March 2025. Crypto Regulation In Asia Crypto Regulation In Asia The Asian region accounts for the biggest crypto market globally. However, the adoption of crypto regulation has been slow, with only 20 out of 53 countries adopting laws for the sector. With the US stepping up the adoption of federal regulation, it is expected to spur the adoption of crypto laws in the region. The lack of clear rules for the crypto sector in the region has led to most crypto companies opting to operate from local offshore zones such as Dubai, Singapore, and Hong Kong, which have friendly crypto rules for international companies. In the Philippines and Indonesia, crypto regulation has been streamlined, making it easier for companies to understand how the process of obtaining a license works. In Thailand and Kazakhstan, attitudes towards crypto have softened, and there are plans to liberalize the process for crypto exchanges to operate in the country. There is also hope that these countries might allow crypto payments. In Cambodia, crypto regulation has been introduced, while in Vietnam, authorities are working on a crypto sandbox. One of the biggest shifts has happened in India, where most of the major crypto exchanges have now legally set up offices. Additionally, others are working with the financial regulators to acquire a license. Crypto Regulation In Africa Crypto Regulation In Africa Due to various geopolitical challenges on the continent, Africa has lagged behind when it comes to the adoption of crypto regulation. In regions where crypto laws have been adopted on the continent, it has been to ban the entire industry, especially in North Africa. Only 9 out of 54 countries in Africa have some form of crypto regulation. In Seychelles, Kenya, and Tanzania, laws on the crypto industry have been adopted. Rwanda and Morocco plan to launch crypto regulations in 2025. Conclusion Conclusion Overall, the global landscape of crypto regulation is fast evolving. The main catalyst for worldwide crypto adoption in 2025 and beyond would be the adoption of crypto laws at the US federal level. Due to the size of the US economy, as well as the dollar being the global reserve currency, the adoption of a law there would cause countries to pay closer attention to crypto regulation. In this fast-evolving landscape, businesses and individuals may stay informed to successfully navigate emerging challenges and seize opportunities.
