@dansup When you take VC, you sell the company. No ifs, no buts. We keep getting surprised as the sale usually just takes several years to complete. C’est la “exit”.
This is why VC investment is incompatible with sustainable businesses with social missions. And why I keep harping on about how we must support projects that benefit the commons from the commons (https://ar.al/notes/encouraging-individual-sovereignty-and-a-healthy-commons/)
We Are Updating Our Occult Privacy Policy
At some point in the last few years, we have:
) Viewed you through a scrying pool and/or mirror
) Crafted a double of you from blood and willpower and used it to manipulate your moods and actions and/or
) Sunk into a dark liquid pool, then rose again to the surface but the surface was your eyes, through which we saw all you saw, thought as you thought, as intimate as breath.
Due to new legislation, now we have to ask:
Can we keep doing all that?
Do you have a project in mind for an open textbook or other open educational resources? The Rebus Community is inviting new projects for its beta rollout of its new platform for project organization, recruiting of collaborators, and more. Particularly looking for projects from outside of N. America and that include marginalized voices. I have a project w/Rebus and they're great!
See here for more info and how to apply: https://about.rebus.community/2018/04/rebus-community-projects-beta-invitation/
Time for my #introduction ✊🏼
My day job is about managing the space where formal education meets Wikimedia in Sweden.
I'm an open education advocate and I share my Wikipedia skills with whomever may seek them. Based in Stockholm.
I joined social.coop because an alternative needs to be governed differently and great people like @clhendricksbc and @dajbelshaw have only ever led me to good stuff.

@bernini I've been thinking for a while that, for #platformcoop models to take on things like #Uber and #AirBnB, the userbase of a #platformcoop social media platform would be an awful solid foundation to build off of... ;)
I (Openwords' founder) received my first weekly #UBI, or #UniversalBasicIncome. ~88 Manna. ~$1.50 worth of #cryptocurrency. What did I do for this? I am a person. If you are also a person, you can also sign up.
1) Sign up at the link below 2) Once you are signed in you'll need to enroll for #UBI (You need to prove you are a person)
Manna:

#introduction Hi everyone, I'm an attorney based in #NewYorkCity. I practice #immigrationlaw and support #immigrantsrights. I'm also doing whatever I can to support #coops, #platformcoops, #socialenterprises & the #commonstransition. I love #languagelearning and facilitating #internationalcollaboration - on the lookout for projects that combine these with a social / #commons oriented purpose, like @Openwords and http://sprakkraft.org/.
