I’d never heard about Zetkin before, but it seems like a very useful platform for organising activists. Owned (collectively, of course) and operated by Swedish socialists. https://zetkin.org/en/foundation

Watching the Champions League final between Lyon and Barcelona and eating home made banana cream pie. Life is good.

Today is Norway’s national day, and all across the country people are gathering in festive crowds for a boisterous celebration. The dog and I celebrated by going for a 9k walk in the woods…
Reading about Situated Learning, and have written a short post on my very infrequently-updated blog.

"Meeting ID not valid."
Not today, Satan. Not today.
So. The Zoom meeting I'm about to start has a meeting ID that starts with 666. Should I be worried...? 😁

Mastodon provides several tools for managing your timeline.
You can add notes to any profile. Why did you follow them? Are they a repeat offender? Remind yourself.
You can disable boosts on a per-user basis. Maybe you want to see a user's posts, but not everything that interests them.
You can temporarily mute an account while they get something out of their system.
You filter out posts with specific words, hashtags or phrases.
And when all else fails: block, unfollow, or mute indefinitely.

If revolution results only in a change of dictatorship, then it is hardly worth while.

Starting on a major review and revision of our BFA programmes, and finding inspiration in my collection of Canadian music...
First Gordon Lightfoot, then Leslie Spit Tree-O, The Rankin Family, now Mary Margaret O'Hara.
Thinking I'll line up the Rheostatics next.
I forget how much I enjoy the music of Gordon Lightfoot.
