The profile notes feature on Mastodon is very useful but also perhaps slightly unclear if you've never used it before.

It works like this:

Go to a person's profile by clicking on their name, look for the "Note" section and then click on "Click to add note", start typing and it saves it automatically. The note is only visible to you.

This is really handy if you interact with lots of people and need to remember (for example) why you follow someone etc.

It's unclear where Kim Ou-joon will go or what he will do. He will succeed no matter what he does, and his future prospects are in no way jeopardised. What will happen to TBS now that Kim is removing himself is still up in the air.

This is impressive student work on the #GenerationGap between #youth and the #elderly in #Korea today, with a focus on #language. The intro drags a bit, but stick with it, I promise this is really good.

Testing my Mastodon posting with this good intro to the brand new Union of Southern Service Workers, written by one of the founding members:

Workers' unions in the South are rare. We're changing that now.

The South's racist past is harming workers today. Unions can help us build a new future.

For too long, Black and brown workers in the South have been systematically excluded from labor protections and union rights by racist politicians.

It is so embarrassing that some #Korean #universities, including
#Yonsei where I did my MA, still require these sorts of propagandistic forced #indoctrination classes. Pride in history and thanks to founders of universities is possible w/out this.

#forced #religious #classes are not the way to create more #Christians, rather the opposite.

Mandatory chapel comes as a nasty surprise for some students in Korea

Linara Makhatova, a 20-year-old student from Kazakhstan, was entering her first semester at Yonsei University in Seoul last year when she discovered an unexpected graduation requirement: A Christianity class and two years' worth of chapel.

The next one was a very sensitive exploration of #suicide in the #Korean context. It's a topic #students worry about, and I see it often, but this was done really well on several different levels. https://youtu.be/_zD72FD6DDU

Every #semester I have students create #videoprojects instead of #presentations live during class. The timing is much better, and I can rewatch to grade accurately. Bonus, I can #share some great #student work with you!

The first one I want to share is about #NFTs and #Kpop, and honestly it was so refreshing to get a topic I'd never have thought of! I'll share a few more in this thread. https://youtu.be/TFHVVaVAb8g

A female led revolution :

For years the Islamic Republic has tried to shame Iranian women in the most intimate ways. Today, protesters in Iran are using sanitary pads to cover the regime’s CCTV cameras, which could identify protesters.

Ingenious acts of defiance.

Although I understand there are good points to #Mastodon, I am really concerned that we cannot discuss #race and #politics and other important topics without trigger warnings and what not. I loved how reading passionate threads from others on Twitter helped me understand other perspectives. I can't figure out if that is possible here, without conversation being stifled and forced to adhere to some performance of #niceness.
