Really great piece by @sarahjeong about how #Facebook binds us through the automation of #EmotionalLabor:
"It’s hard to pin down what Facebook is because the platform replaces labor that was previously invisible. We have a hard time figuring out what Facebook actually is because we have a hard time admitting that at least part of what it supplanted is emotional labor — hard and valuable work that no one wants to admit was work to begin with."

Over the past four days there has been a City Nature Challenge between over 60 cities globally to spot and record the most wildlife.
More than 350,000 wildlife records have been created and 10,000+ people have been involved. I find this strangely moving: lots of interconnected people who care about #biodiversity and in this case spending a little time creating a record in an app.
them: there is no more knights in XXIst century.

Probably one of the cutest parts of having a live video stream into a bluebird house is the little mama butt wiggle. 😍 #birding #raspberrypi #birdhouse
Considering changing itineraries AGAIN. Anyone know about #coops in #southkorea? Have they been too institutionalized or can I still find interesting #solidarityeconomy movements there?
