#organizing Timeline

6d

One of the biggest things people discount in general is uncertainty. Uncertainty takes more from me than just about everything else in my life. It doesn't matter if something makes things better on average if I can't afford to get a bad outcome.

Text and a cartoon graphic of a human. What gets me about my disability isn't that I can't do things. It's that I don't know if I'll be able to do things. Doing a thing can either put me in bed for days, it can be totally fine, no big deal, or randomly make me feel better. 24 hours later the rules change again. Words by fibrostrong To the right of the text: a light-skinned human wearing a black top, short brown skirt and white shoes, and a black walking stick in their left hand, brushing their long brown hair with their right hand.

There's a pretty neat app called #Finch that does #gamification for #taskManagement / #organizing / #selfcare stuff.

It helps me keep track of what I should be posting when and where and reminds me of some of the things I need to do. All while sharing #todo items with people.

Finch Cares is a #PublicBenefitCorporation and the application is gratis. I've paid for it because it's useful and I wanted more vanity items. lol

PM your friend code or ask for mine.

SS of my birb and his recording studio. There's a purple cello beside a trio of burning candles on a long trident-looking lamp, an acoustic guitar resting on a chair, a desk with gear on the shelves and computer atop. On the wall is something that could be a pseudo dream catcher or a line of flutes hanging or wind chimes -- in game/app décor leaves room for interpretation sometimes. On the floor are two rugs, one looks like a huge CD and the other is a music visualizer.

birb is wearing spider web boots and a red & black gothic top, headphones and music player. his feathers and beak are teal and red. feet, which are hidden, are a sort of copper color. he's got black bat wings as well as his more arm-like regular wings. he's falling asleep while a tiny bat sleeps between his legs. there is a red lute in his "hand".

"Thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Hannah Arendt warned us that the point of this deluge is not to persuade, but to overwhelm and paralyze our capacity to act. More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media in response to these ridiculous claims actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action.

The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of debilitating fear and anger, endlessly reacting to our oppressors instead of organizing against them."

Organizing on decentralized social networks (1 / N)

The Nexus of Privacy is planning a series of online discussions and video/phone calls focusing on organizing on decentralized social networks. There's a range of topics to cover, including looking at the tradeoffs between the different platforms for different use cases, brainstorming how organizers can leverage these platforms, easy ways to start exploring, and ways for groups to move as a whole.

https://privacy.thenexus.today/organizing-on-decentralized-social-networks/ has a CryptPad survey (as well as a link to a version using Google Forms if you prefer that)

Or if you prefer, here are a couple of polls along with open questions, that cover some of the key information

I finished the Black Rose 2023 Program a few days ago and have moved on to Social Anarchism and Organization which I'm reading in conjunction with Anarchist Popular Power by Troy Andreas Araiza Kokinis. Recommended for anyone interested in learning more about Especifismo which is a model for anarchist organization developed from a collective process of theory and practice.

If you want a group experience check out the Center for Especifismo Studies. They run an 15-week introductory seminar, the Militant Kindergarten, every year starting in January.
