Irgendwer hat mal gesagt:
"Anarchismus ist die Ziele von Demokratie einen Schritt weiter gedacht".
Und falls nicht, dann sag ich's.

Anarchie ist organisierter Respekt und systemische Liebe für alle.
Freiheit ist es nur wenn alle frei sind. Deshalb braucht es Teilhabe aller an allem. Also Rechte für Minderheiten und Individuen. Also geht es nicht ohne Organisationsstrukturen. Diese müssen lightweight sein und so wenige Machtpositionen habe wie möglich.

I made a program I've been thinking about for years, finally! Download it here https://k0bold.itch.io/picsort

A fairly simple program that lets you open a folder of images (and video and audio files) and browse through them and move them to a new folder in one click, or delete, or rename them. Also doubles as an image viewer with a random order (or by date or name).

I made this because I have a large collection of furry art that's gotten disorganized over the years and I wanted an easy way to sort them into a better folder structure. Also I wanted to view a folder of pictures in a random order.

The humble friends-and-enemies #list in #management. Early #career edition.

A new general had taken over a few days ago. I was summoned, sat in the secretary's office waiting. The sound proofed (padded) door to the general's office was not tightly shut.

I hear his aide say "Salix* is excellent but very independent."

The aide comes out, sees me, turns a velvety crimson red, silently nods, and leaves.

New 2024 #Hobonichi Techo launches today, it's very exciting. I highly recommend the Cousin A5. I have yet to find another #planner that matches the Hobonichi in terms of accessibility for my #ADHD and #OCD. The Tomoe River S paper is soft and smooth, and does not trigger my sensory problems like many other papers. It's accepting of most of my stationary with little bleed through. The layout is clean and uncluttered without the needless etsy-esque scripts and flashy colors most planners are heavy with. I appreciate the binding, no clunky plastic rings to wrestle pages onto. I also like that the pages are gridded. It makes it so easy to line things up and box things off. I'm not sponsored I swear!

Dear Fellow Americans,

“Make America Great Again” is a slogan originally used by the Ku Klux Klan, of which Trump’s father was a member. It’s rooted in the racist notion that our country was “greatest” when the only people who had any rights were straight white men who owned land and slaves.

Democrats are not scared of Donald Trump.

It's Un-American that republicans are still following a man who lied to them 30,000 documented times and who has been arrested four separate times, a criminal defendant inmate # P01135809 and is currently out on bail while pursuing the highest political office in the world.

On Mark Meadows' fatal concession.

They explain why 2 pages of Meadows' court brief should prove fatal to his attempt to get Georgia trial into federal court or dismissed

Summary of second prong analysis: "the conduct did not 'aris[e] out of his duty to enforce federal law. It arose out of his failure to comply with federal law.'"

#RICO and #Racketeering regarding Trump because they sound cool but they both mean one thing: Organized crime. The criminal defendant has been a two-bit cheating fraudster pimp scumbag his entire adult life. Now he's finally going to prison where he should have been long ago.

Criminal defendant donald learned everything he knows from the king of blackmail and dirty tricks. Mob shill roy Cohn taught him to get dirt on people from the start. Who knows what the FBI found in his safe.

“RICO” means “Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations.” Under the Georgia RICO law, it is a crime for any person through a pattern of racketeering activity to acquire or maintain any interest in or control of any type of property or business.

A person may be charged with RICO (O.C.G.A. § 16-14-4) if they participate in an interrelated pattern of criminal activity motivated by or resulting in monetary gain or economic or physical threat or injury.

Anyone else do this? I know how to change the setting for an individual folder. Wondering 3 things:
- should the referenced icon images be in a certain location
- where I can buy a (searchable) set
- if you have another thought or tip
Etsy has been one option, so maybe I’ll reach out to a couple sellers.

#Talking #Trash: The #Global #Garbage #Crisis w/ Oliver Franklin-Wallis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyMq4npswII&ab_channel=GreenandRedPodcast

In much of the developed world, waste is out of sight and out of mind. The world generates around 2 billion tons of #municipal #solid #waste #annually, with at least 33% of it #not #managed in an #environmentally #safe #manner, according to a 2018 World Bank report. Though high-income countries only account for 16% of the world’s population, they generate about 34% of the world’s waste each year. A third of all 3food produced is wasted and ends up in the garbage can. 3Plastic waste is another mounting issue: Across the globe, #less than 10% of it is #recycled, according to the most recent data from 2018 published by the #Organization for #Economic #Cooperation and #Development. Plastic waste has more than doubled globally since 2000.

Points of Unity template for shared practices and processes (for social movement groups and popular organizations of various kinds): ***Although descriptively accurate, the above is not formulated to be the best name for practical use in movement context as it is too jargon heavy and wordy. Alternative names: Points of Unity, Group agreements, Shared Agreements, Group Practices, Shared Practices, Group Processes, Shared Processes, etc

Direct-Democracy: Direct democracy refers to direct collective decision making. Direct democracy enables collective dialogue, decisions, and actions to achieve various goals and solve various problems. Deliberation is foundational to a practical direct democracy as it enables questions, amendments, conversations, problems, solution criteria, multiple perspectives, critiques, concerns, alternative possibilities, dissent, and evaluation of pros and cons to round out proposals and decisions made. After deliberation, there is an aim for full agreement. If there is not full agreement, there is further discussion and then a decision is made by majority vote. ***The specifics of direct democracy can be tweaked and even left out of this section and simply included in the bylaws.

Horizontality: Horizontality refers to the presence of self-organization and the absence of hierarchy. Hierarchy refers to institutionalized top-down command obedience relations. Horizontality includes horizontal rights such as freedom from hierarchy, freedom from oppression, freedom from domination, freedom from exploitation, and freedom to participate in self-managed groups and relations. This group strives to be internally horizontal and contribute to horizontal relations. etc. ***can alternatively be called or framed as: non-hierarchy, or egalitarian relations, or opposition to hierarchy. With different groups, different framings and wordings will make more sense. Depending on group and context, it may or may not make sense for a group to give a list of various hierarchies in such a points of unity document.

Free Association and Participatory activity: Free association refers to freedom of and from associations and participatory activity within associations. For there to be free association and participatory activity, persons and groups must have the guaranteed freedoms to choose their activities and associations while respecting and enabling freedoms of others to do the same. All labor, work, and action within this group is to be voluntary and non-coerced. If someone does not like a policy that is made, they can continue to argue for and advocate an alternative proposal, continue to argue one’s point formally and informally, choose to not participate in the implementation of the policy they disagree with while remaining in the group, or choose to leave the association. *** This point can potentially be included in other points of unity without being its own point. Also, it is often implied that a group is such a voluntary association so including this for a group as an explicit point may or may not make sense.

Direct Action: Direct action refers to opposing exploitation, domination and oppression through self-managed action to achieve various goals. Direct action can be contrasted to indirect action of top-down organizing and relying on rulers to solve social problems. Direct action includes a wide array of potential activities and campaigns against specific hierarchical institutions for short term, mid-term, and long-term goals. *** A description giving examples of direct action tactics such as occupations, blockades, strikes, boycotts, etc. is optional. An alternative to the wording to “domination, exploitation, and oppression” can be “unfreedom and injustice” or something sufficiently similar.

Mutual Aid: Mutual aid refers to voluntary multidirectional help to meet needs. Mutual aid can exist within a group, between groups, between groups and persons, between persons etc. Mutual aid enables groups and people to pool abilities, needs, ideas, proposals, actions, infrastructure, resources, tools, etc. together. Mutual aid can include a wide array of potential activities from mutual assistance towards common goals, creating or participating in development of the commons (including communal fields, factories and workshops, social centers, libraries, eco-technology projects, etc), free food distribution, communal childcare, etc. ***Such a list or variation thereof is optional to include.

For groups that collaborate with other groups in various formal and informal ways:

Co-Federalism: Co-federalism refers to ways organizations can freely collaborate for inter-collective coordination, decisions, and actions in a way that enables decision making power to be in the hands of people directly. Delegated persons and councils of collectives can meet up for deliberation and administration. Such delegates and co-federal councils are mandated and recallable to their respective popular assemblies, are merely communicative, administrative, and have no policy making power. All policies are made and ratified by general assemblies directly. ***Alternatively the words federalism, confederalism, intercommunalism, inter-collectivity, egalitarian federation, etc. can be used in place of co-federalism. Co-federalism is a neologism, and confederalism and federalism both have connotative issues despite them referring to an essential practice for horizontal and free inter-organizational relations.

Addendum point for Community assembly groups in particular:

Communal Self Management: Communal self-management refers to horizontal, democratic, participatory community politics and economics. Such communal and intercommunal self-management can exist on every scale from the block, to the neighborhood, to the city, and beyond. Means of existence and production needed by communities are to be held and managed in common. Policies and protocols for communal economics are managed by communal assemblies and co-federations thereof. Such communal assemblies and co-federations thereof have embedded participatory councils that self-manage implementation within the bounds of their respective mandates and protocols. Such a communal economy aims towards providing each and all with free access to needs.

***The above point is specifically for community assembly groups. It generally makes the most sense for groups that are at relatively a mature level development to the point where they have sufficient power, means of production, and popular support.

Alternative framing that synthesizes the first three points of unity into a single point:

Participatory Democracy: Participatory democracy refers to a combination of direct collective decision making, without rulers, where people freely participate in decision making and implementation of decisions. ***By condensing the substance of the first three points into a single point, a lot of clutter disappears. From here, people can fill out this point through their own descriptions or through copying, pasting, and blending some of the more essential sentences from the first three points of unity listed as needed. An alternative framing for this point could be “self-management” in such a way that includes the substance of direct democracy, horizontality, and free association. As coherent as the first three points are as separate points rounding each other out, they are rather cumbersome and can be difficult to wrap one’s mind around. Creating a single point that combines the essential features of those points can help clear up confusion. Something like a practical unity of Participatory Democracy (as defined above), Direct Action, and Mutual aid can lead to a lot of coherence and functional use for groups starting from scratch or otherwise developing such points of unity overtime.

Talking about the “nervous system” in isolation from the rest of the body and its environment is like trying to figure out what is the automobile about by looking at its motor running on a stand. You need to look at where the “rubber hits the road” to really understand what’s going on.

Only “bodies can do things” not the isolated nervous systems. Of course, brains have a #function within the body, the same way that individual bodies (with their respective brains) have a function within a social organization.

The nervous “(sub)system” has no need to be in direct contact with the environment, but it also can’t function or even survive (is not viable) without the support of all the other body parts, some of which are and must be in direct contact with the #environment.

According to #HH_Pattee, The whole purpose of the nervous system and cognition is the survival of the body:

“The major function of the brain is actually not to sit around and discuss things like we are doing now, but it is to make decisions - it has to decide whether to fight or run or eat …”

https://www.academia.edu/6576779/Rosen_and_Pattee_on_Theoretical_Biology

Thinking about the nervous “system” in isolation is typical for #Cybernetics thinking which separates the #control (management) system from the #controlled system (the plant) and does not recognize the fact that they depend on each other and should be thought of as one system.

People are “social animals” and the emergent capability and knowledge of an #organization as a system of people are quite different from the collection of all the individual learning capabilities and knowledge of the individuals it is composed of, so it is, therefore, appropriate to treat the organization as another dynamical #learning system.

I recently had to print two dozen name tags out of a spreadsheet. Two columns: name, and affiliation. I thought: there must be a way to automate this, right? Fiddling with libreoffice menus, I discover a type of document corresponding to my needs: "Labels". Great, almost there (so I thought). (1/)

Lately I've been working on organizing some things, and setting up systems is always key. Even for digital stuff. Maybe ESPECIALLY digital stuff. Just like cleaning your physical house and trying to rid it of clutter (did a lot of that recently, as we always do, sometimes to little avail 🤣), digital clutter is real. Going through my YouTube 'Watch Later' playlist and it's down to 106 things. That feels like a miracle- it was over 200 videos (almost 300) the other day, and just by watching a few seconds of one or two, many just needed filing to another playlist - especially ones I'd already seen and just want to save. And, of course, same as phone screenshots, some things you just have NO idea why you saved it. So you delete those. And wow. 106. Amazing. Maybe I can knock out more next week. Plus, I'm learning some things. They're some really boss videos. If I find some *really* cool ones, I'll post em here, of course.

@Brad_Rosenheim When #DeSantis announced in 2021 that he wanted to revive the long-dormant #State #Guard, he vowed it would help Floridians during emergencies.

But in the year since its launch, key personnel and a defined mission remain elusive. The state is looking for the program’s third leader in eight months.

According to records reviewed by the Times/Herald and interviews with program volunteers, a number of recruits quit after the first training class last month because they feared it was becoming #too #militaristic.

Weeks into that inaugural June training, one volunteer, a disabled retired Marine Corps captain, called the local sheriff’s office to report he was battered by Florida National Guard instructors when they forcibly shoved him into a van after he questioned the program and its leadership.
DeSantis’ office referred questions to Maj. Gen. John D. Haas, Florida’s adjutant general overseeing the Florida National Guard.
In a statement, Haas said the State Guard was a “#military #organization” that will be used not just for emergencies but for “aiding law enforcement with @riots and illegal @immigration.”
“We are aware that some trainees who were removed are dissatisfied,” Haas said. “This is to be expected with any course that demands rigor and discipline.”
Three former members told the Times/Herald the program veered from its original mission.

It looks like the Japanese 5S methodology basically says to put your kids (and their stepladders) into storage for a tidy house.

This seems perfectly cromulent to me!

#Japan #Methodology #Inspiration #Organization #SelfHelp #Advice #KidsNeedStepLadders #Ridiculous #Clickbait #Journalism

An article from "Apartment Therapy" magazine, entitled "The 5S method is an unexpected way to get your home organised" by Abigail J. Fallon.

The first "BEFORE" photo is of a supposedly messy room (it looks like the tidiest my house has EVER been!) with a toddler and its stuff in the middle of the room (assuming a stepladder is a toddler plaything that is).

"You can get great home organizing tips from all kinds of sources, from professional organizers who share their tidying habits to design pros who weigh in on organizing dos and don’ts. But one of the most helpful approaches I’ve come across hails from the most unexpected place: the Japanese automotive industry, specifically the 5S, a system for organizing spaces."

The next "AFTER" photo is the same room, but really just missing the toddler and her step-ladder with a couple of things shoved underneath a table.

Frankly, it took hiring an "organization helper" on taskrabbit for me to get off my butt and do something about the mess in my crawl space and basement.
They took a look at the space, recommended containers / shelving, and having a set date when they came to help me clean up kept me accountable.

It does seem worse now that it's just a handful of companies using novel tech to isolate & gatekeep the work of others, instead of handfuls of industries and/or nations.

Things that are hidden in plain sight can be revealed by slowly removing the 'noise' over time, until there's nothing to hide behind.

Tools of #oppression will ultimately be used to destroy oppressors.

In a world where so much is about the vagaries of the news cycle, #delegate #wrangling is one of the few aspects of politics that is entirely in control of campaigns — and almost entirely #invisible to the public.

It is about #organization and #effort. It forces campaigns to either display a certain #fundraising prowess that enables them to muscle through these challenges or demonstrate the #grassroots support needed to do so on the cheap. There are no shortcuts to it.

"Neatly aligned glass spice jars ... wicker baskets filled with packages of pasta, crackers and snacks."

The kitchen pantry is a prime example of how organization has become big business in today's consumer culture.

After all the great help from people on here and trying out a few different options, I ended up settling on Trello for storing and organizing my healthy/vegetarian recipe ideas. It's so easy to add cards to lists on boards to quickly add recipes-- I put this all together in like an hour or so. And the way it updates across the website (lists and cards shown here) and the app on my phone for quick mobile reference, it's incredible. I LOVE it.

I don’t like most Microsoft products. I feel like they’re designed to be unnecessarily difficult to the point where they feel like punishment.

However…

CONFESSION: I absolutely love OneNote. It’s not perfect but it feels like it matches how my brain works and having all of my notes organized and right in front of me makes me feel joy.

Companies are evolving their mindset from project to product. It involves changes in how they approach fast flow, such as the software architecture, software engineering practices and team boundaries.

🌹​Obsidian released a new feature recently I only found out about today and it is literally what I've wanted out of a task management/knowledge manager for over a decade.

The feature is called "Canvas" and what it does is offer you a blank, grid canvas that you can add anything to, in any arrangement and size. What this means is practically infinite.

My thinking is super visual, and I've been muddling along with mind maps coupled with other text based editors but it's been rather clunky. Now, all in one place, I can keep everything I write down and display it and the media/resources I need directly in one living space

Each box can be zoomed into with a click, and zooming out to fit the canvas to screen is so so so choice for how my brain works. Now I can zoom in and out of what I need at a moments notice, and edit everything on the fly to fit my needs

I can link notes I've already made directly into a canvas, I can embed Youtube and other embed-style things into their own cards, and even add in tasks and coding. Right now I want to make a canvas for each area of my life I'm working on daily/weekly/monthly, as well as long term a "dashboard" that would hold everything I need moment to moment to function.

Even in a plural sense, each of us being able to have our own canvases for similar subjects/processes means we can lay them out to our individual preferences

This feels like the developers of my favourite PRM made a Christmas gift just for me (even though I know tons will love this stuff) and I'm over the moon. I teared up a bit when I slid around the canvas and realized what it meant for my organization woes over the years

Does anyone feel like sitting down in front of the computer and playing around with their notes a bit?

I just wrote down how I set up and try to maintain my (academic) reading list in #Obsidian using the #Projects plugin by @marcusolsson and #Zotero. Might post it again after the holidays, but for now, here's the description of my approach for those who asked. Thus, fulfilling my promise from this thread: https://hcommons.social/@natalie/109557676423033978

Always love seeing the organization ideas from over on r/CrossStitch - especially when I'm staring a blank part of wall in my office, trying to figure out how to best use it to store things.

My #firstpost on #Mastodon:

🌏 🌊 I am an Earth/climate scientist at the University of Arizona in #Tucson (southwestern US) focusing on the areas of #climate change, #paleoclimates, and #paleoceanography, with an emphasis on #ENSO, #monsoons, & #variability.

⚗️🐚 Our group uses #inorganic #geochemistry incl. measurements of #stableisotopes & #tracemetals in #carbonate rocks & #fossils (e.g., #foraminifera, #mollusks, & #speleothems) alongside climate #observations as well as #simulations to advance understanding of how the Earth's #climate & #oceans have changed in the past and can change in the future.

Some of my hobbies include:

🎵 #music: I am a fan of #metal and heavy music of all sorts, but tend to migrate towards #black, #death, #doom, #drone, #sludge, & #thrash. I also have a soft spot for #carnatic/#hindustani #ragas, #darkambient, oldschool-ish #hiphop, #triphop, and various forms of #electronicmusic.

🦜 #birds & #birding #photography bring me joy. Right now, I feel v lucky to be briefly back in my hometown of #Bengaluru, southern India, after three long years being able to see #oldworld birds I grew up with.

👨🏾‍💻 #GTD, #mindfulness, #organization, and (vs?) #producivity are things that I enjoy thinking about. Of late, I've been using #Things3, #Streaks, #Hobonichi w a #Lamy Safari, #Obsidian, #Overleaf, & #Bookends to get things done.

🙏🏽 Thanks for reading!
