I started a substack. https://feralpigeon.substack.com/

I'm trying to get back into doing some critical writing, while being purposeful it doesn't get into the realm of academic writing- so it's very informal.
I really miss my #criticalpedagogy community

@mahabali @Tdorey @dkernohan @katebowles @econproph @actualham @kenbauer @davecormier @Mweller @lauraritchie @bonstewart Exactly! The key is that the students need to constantly gain a deeper understanding of how and why the choices they made in the process led to the end result they produced. That understanding is what can lead them to make (even) more informed choices next time and come closer to achieving their own intentions.

@jaklumen @Tdorey @actualham @Dan_Blick @fgraver @Autumm I feel we don't talk nearly enough about introversion in networks. I'm the same. My head fills up and I stop thinking. @mahabali has thought about this a bit too.

So I'm really interested in what makes a network hospitable to both introverts and extroverts by design?

@Dan_Blick @Gargron @katebowles @bmbod i've come up with and seen all kinds of ideas but i got to thinking this morning that some kind of interaction prototype is needed to see what feels good

That post from @bmbod really captures so much of what is fragile here.

Feature dream (@Triplefox @Gargron) when something comes along that a group might want to break out into a room to discuss, could that something be pinned in a room, as we can in a Slack channel?

Thinking: Twitter lacks that ability to hold on to a group pin for discussion. The rooms proposal might enable this here.

Some half-baked thoughts on communities, institutions, and mastodon.social

So far I mostly echo, or boost, people's conversations here.
Such meaningful things being said and discussed. <3 you all

@katebowles @Triplefox @grandeped @clhendricksbc It does boil down to trust and responsiblity; trust in each other, responsibility to the community.

So far I find myself trusting people here, and that in turns increases my sense of responsibility. It seems to be that way for others too, and I hope that will continue.

@Triplefox @grandeped @clhendricksbc Does this partly depend on what "the community" consists of. Reading introductions and the public timeline I can see how important this space is and to be honest I feel pretty protective of that.

So part of the question about community is the question about what a community does, not just what a community is. That I think is what's exercising those of us who came here together.

Thinking: the difference between mastodon as a bundle of replicable open source affordances; and mastodon as a forming common ground community of very unlike types taking care with one another's needs and interests.

I can see why critical educators will jump away to a specialist instance and I'm keen to do this work, but while we're here I am really loving what I'm learning about human capacity to trust and share.
