Still picking up the pieces of my head after moving to this place,
Teacher, Learner, Interested in social justice, liveable future, the things that make life worth living

watching ep 1 of The last of Us, and again the classic teacher talking (test info or homework pointers) as the bell goes trope.

Can we please move past this? Kids watch the clock and pack up without permission 10 - 5 minutes before any bell.

#Medium – the proprietary, #SiliconValley equivalent of free and open #fediverse app #WriteFreely, by the #billionnaire co-founder of #Twitter – now has a #Mastodon server.

It might be a good time to take a look at WriteFreely (https://writefreely.org/) and their hosted services Write.as (https://write.as/) and WriteFreely Host (https://writefreely.host/) and consider owning your own #blog on the fediverse instead of contributing to the walled gardens of the folks who bequeathed you Twitter.

Minimalist, federated, self-hosted blogging platform.

I don't know anything about this instance or its community, but I like this section of its About page. It feels like a human being talking about what they're willing to do for other humans.
The way corporate platforms communicate (or fail to) has really skewed our understandings of what kinds of relationships we get into with them. Human communication like this feels like it's recalibrating that a bit, to something better and more like a future I'd like to live in.

Why does the media tell us that inflation is at a 40 year high without telling us that corporate profits are at a 70 year high?
