We would be greatful if you could amplify our voice & let your followers know that the Auschwitz Memorial is present in #fediverse: @auschwitzmuseum

Every day we commemorate the victims & educate about the tragic human history of #Auschwitz.

Auschwitz is a place that shows where hatred, antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people decades ago.

It is also a place where we should reflect on our individual and collective responsibility for the world we live in.

🚨 New week, new blog post! 🚨

A long read reflecting on the 2023 Marking & Assessment Boycott (MAB), as well as the conditions that make for a successful boycott. One to ponder over with a beverage of your choice!

Spoiler alert: we need more deep, long-term, and local organising, and we need to tackle the fundamental issues of membership density and member engagement.

Reminder about Mastodon "private" messages. Aside from not being end-end-encrypted (and so visible to instance administrators), they CC anyone @-mentioned ANYWHERE in the body of the message (not just those listed at the start).

They are now called "private mentions" rather than "private messages", but if you don't fully understand the semantics, this behavior may be unexpected and/or cause unpleasant side effects.
