  1. I get energised by hosting and speaking at events, and I’m grateful for the support that enables me to do this - my team (ie Mastodon core folks); my partner; the individuals who helped in the room today with timekeeping and Q&A; the FOSDEM volunteers who make things work and happen; the people who submit talks; the people who reviewed and curated the talks for the track; the people that show up to participate #ItTakesAVillage

  6. People who champion the nuclear family and insist that it is the only way to have a healthy family, are ridiculously misinformed.

    The nuclear family -- as has been enforced by monarchial, state, and corporate powers -- is an exceedingly recent invention.

    Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years.

    We evolved to be cooperative breeders, with communities that heavily engaged in alloparenting ➡️

  7. This year, I'm also working on launching my own "Boots for the People" donations drive. To get workboots donated to marginalized, newly housed folks who are trying to make a living from new job & for longtime housed folks living under poverty line who can't afford quality work boots.

    I'll need some local volunteers in #Saanich & #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland areas to help me with picking up/dropping off donations, help with spreading the good word out & help with obtaining free or discounted printed promo materials for the donations drive.

  8. #CommunityNotes is just

    .... ' #ItTakesAVillage ..... of people '

    ( by outsourcing moderation & laying off the T&S Teams )

    .... as illustrated.... at the ' it's too cold to buy Greenland ' rally on the 20th.

    Today there are protests ✊

  9. You've heard that "it takes a village to raise a child". Guess what killed "the village"?
    It was capitalism. Capitalism killed "the village", forced people into cities, increased the cost of living such that most households require both parents to work (plus all the aunts, uncles and grandparents). Capitalism needs to be reined in (or replaced) if we want to rebuild "villages" of support and community. #capitalism #ItTakesAVillage #RebuildTheVillage

  10. Wildlife rehabbers see the #hurricane horrors that don't often get reported. An uncountable number of wild beings have been killed, injured, or displaced in the flooding. Many rehabbers lost everything but are still trying to help.

    NY rehabbers filled a truck with donated supplies heading to WNC and are working on a second truckload. And GA rehabbers got permission from the state to temporarily care for FL wildlife patients so they can evacuate.

  11. Daniel Atkinson Clark, a Presbyterian minister, describes benevolence. It goes abroad, and tries miseries into joy. This is the offspring of a heavenly temper.

    Some contemporary preachers talk about joy as a litmus test, where someone has to doubt salvation if they don’t have enough joy. Clark, too, would have us focus on joy, but on increasing the joy of others.

    How can you spread happiness today?

  12. "But I think most village-less people raising children in the developed world right now are seriously misunderstanding what “the village” is/was and the price it demands...

    First of all, ... “the village” was literally always women’s unpaid labor.

    This “traditional” village we all think we want does not give Mama a break. It is built, stone by stone, on a deep and pervasive assumption that she doesn’t need or want one."

  13. :mstdn: The internet and social media have brought me many lovely colleagues and friends, for whom I am grateful.

    Some of us have found one another here (or here, again) on Mastodon - where we share news, commiserate, encourage and entertain one another. Today's smile came from @olafk, and you others know who you are. norden.social/@olafk/112535661

    Sending all of you ❤.
    Have a great weekend.
    And thanks for being my 'village'.

  14. Is it all right to parent someone else kid in public that you KNOW didn’t wash their hands after peeing?

  15. Muchas gracias to Sandy Larson of Monterey for a generous contribution May 22 in support of Bicycling Monterey! bikemonterey.org/about/financi

    Sandy is a retired librarian—and savvy about #EarthStewardship! Although humble about it, we know she volunteers—a lot!—at solar-powered, bike-friendly (bicycle rack near the front entrance of the sanctuary) First Presbyterian Church of Monterey, including in the Jay Bartow Memorial Garden (pictured) and in the Stephen Ministry program.

  16. CW: unsolicited opinions on childcare from a non-parent

    It's so historically weird that I've lived my adult life with practically no interactions with children, except when their guardians were around to mediate.

    The corrolary is even weirder - growing up almost never interacting freely with an adult who isn't a parent or paid to watch you.

    #ItTakesAVillage I guess.

  17. This week we were able to provide a young child who didn't have a bicycle helmet—and whose single parent didn't have money to buy one—with this Kali Protectives helmet. How'd we manage that on Bicycling Monterey's tiny budget (average gross contributions of $3 a day)? It was possible thanks to Kali Protectives providing us that helmet on April 17; see contributors of project supplies: bikemonterey.org/about/financi

    Bicycle helmets are required by California law for minors (youth younger than age 18).

    Thank you, Kali Protectives!

  19. Muchas gracias to instructors Frank Henderson and Luciano Rodriguez for completing another successful year of bike maintenance and repair instruction at the Monterey County Probation Department Youth Center. The Youth Center's bike education programs were launched by Bicycling Monterey in 2012.

    Classes will resume in January 2024. bikemonterey.org/probation-dep

  20. I would like full credit for scholarly productivity today for sending an article by a scholar I never met to another scholar I don't remember meeting, which, the recipient said, was *exactly* what she need to tackle her scholarly conundrum. All while remembering the other scholar I never met who sent me a list of cites last week. #AcWriting #ItTakesAVillage

  21. 127th Boston Marathon done -- well, 127 is the edition, this is my first 😜.
