Great to see real #STEM education. Hey #ctedu they just announced full funding and grants for all female teams.... But then you get a joke about needing women to "organize".... Forget the busy work engineer bots!! (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/VUTfh)

There is a Hemingway quote about it: “Write the CFP when drunk, edit and send to the conference when sober.”

So grateful to have been a part of this ridiculously talented Magnet Musical level 2 class. Thanks so much to Nikita and Frank for teaching, guiding, and lifting us up musically.

Special thanks to Regular Sweater Friends for a relatable and whip-smart set about the dubious dream to go to an Ivy League school. ❤️

I was recently invited to do a presentation on Sociocracy to the all India HR team at @KPMGIndia. Here are the slides from my talk: j.mp/KPMGNov2019Soc… As usual, the slides are licensed under CC BY-SA so feel free to share and adapt. #Sociocracy #SociocracyIndia
I just realized that Buttondown has support for sending out new entries via privileged e-mail addresses. I think I can build something in the middle such that posting on my blog would send out a newsletter entry! That’d be great for handling public posts… v2.jacky.wtf//post/8d5d48eb…
Just got around to putting my Novembeat 2019 stuff on @bandcamp as per usual. Might tweak it a bit over the next few days before I submit to Spotify etc but I kinda don't GAF about Spotify etc music.sockpuppet.us/album/novembea…

Tomorrow at 12 PM Eastern/ 9 AM Pacific I’ll be be hosting a Connected Courses discussion that will explore the IndieWeb movement as a people-centered response to the corporate web. How do core IndieWeb principles such as owning your content, remaining better connected, and redefining control online intersect with the values of connected learning? Take a bit of time tomorrow and join myself, Mikhail GershovichBen WerdmullerErin Jo Richey, and Simon Thomson to find out more.

I particularly love how they all underline the humanity that should and does underlie the web. This is certainly a classic for the area of IndieWeb and education. I’m not sure how I hadn’t seen this before.

[Withknown is] the posterchild of the IndieWeb.
— Jim Groom

I’ll agree that it is pretty darn awesome!

Some slight rephrasings from Ben in the video that I thought were spot on:

IndieWeb: allowing people to connect online without caring about what platforms or services they’re using.

IndieWeb puts the learner first. The LMS, which primarily serves an administrative function, should not be the center of the process.

What is up with Biden's hands on the shoulders like that? Still being a creepy guy, I guess (not to mention bad policies).

The Mandalorian is the best scifi western since Firefly invented the category. Hoping that its success brings back the canonical western, like Silverado did briefly in the 80’s. And that Amy Sedaris and Ming Na are given their own western series; maybe a modern, woke Gunsmoke.
So I guess this means anyone can legally accuse Elon Musk of being a rapist and pay someone to find out if he’s actually a rapist as long as we’re convinced we’re only joking about him being a rapist? Good to know!

So, just a reminder that when the Seattle Library provides a space to a group, they require that all members of the public be allowed to join in. Not that I would suggest that people should join in with the lively public discussion in ways that would disrupt them, nosiree.
