A: Hey kid, how was your first day of school? What subjects will you have?
B: Oh, it was so cool. Our main subjects will be #SocialPedagogy, #GroupDynamics, #PsychoEducation, #TraumaPedagogy and #NonViolentCommunication besides #Inclusion and #Diversity, which we started with today.
Other than that we'll have #ClimateJustice, #BlackHistory, #QueerFeminism, #anarchism, #RiotTraining, #solidarity, #degrowth, #PermaCulture, #ReduceRefuseRepair and a few others.
Didn't you always tell me school didn't teach you anything for real life? Well it's not like that anymore.

#SydneyNSW, #Australia - Why Buy When You Can Borrow?
"The #Sydney #LibraryOfThings is a not-for-profit service that provides the local community with access to a collection of extremely useful but only occasionally used items that can be loaned out for a short period of time.
We’re like a normal library but with things instead of books! Joining your enables you to borrow from ALL of our branches and you don’t have to live in the local area of the branch you want to join! Find out more about subscriptions and how it works here.
We hope that by encouraging people to borrow instead of buying or throwing away their unwanted items, together we can create a better connected, more sustainable and stronger community.
Did you know we also deliver #RepairCafes and run a #ToyLibrary? Check out #FixItHub Waverton, #TheFixery Cromer and The Lane Cove Toy Library.
We acknowledge the original custodians of the lands we work from, and pay respect to Elders past and present and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples."

…part of the problem with the myth of progress is its myth of direct cause and effect:
do x, make number go up
But where we are is an emergent outcome. Probably the best ways to fight LLMs are nothing to do with LLMs

…There’s a pattern.
Tight oil is a temporary solution to unmanageable scale.
Crypto is an imagined solution to unmanageable scale.
LLMs are a bullshit ‘solution’ to unmanageable scale.
But unmanageable scale is… unmanageable. Let’s wind it down
It's not #build, build, build to solve the problem of #affordable #rent and housing
It is providing #housing without market interest and #venturecapital
