It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.

A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and 
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!

Family business fell in the hole in lockdown.
When you start a physical location business, you know the first couple years you work for the landlord. You make no money for yourself. You cannot make yourself an employee because you cannot pay yourself.
What happens when locked down?
You still pay landlord every month: no relief. But you cannot earn money to pay the landlord. You cannot get the money from unemployment because you never paid yourself. You cannot get the PPP loan because you have no employees. The grants only go to established businesses who will use it to remodel rather than survive.
Many small business are bootstrapped by owners foregoing a salary for 2-5 years. These people were trapped with no money for food while low-income workers were paid more than before to stay home and not work.
One of the stories no one talked about.
This is how to radicalize.

No Way Out - John Zerzan (notes on life's "original trauma")
( No Way Out - John Zerzan, 2003 )
The title too reflecting my existence somewhat...
The 'original trauma' rings true in the Agricultural sense and other things mankind has iterated.
------------------------------------------------------------
THE REST BELOW IS MY NOTES
...FROM JOHN ZERZAN AND PICS ATTACHED
------------------------------------------------------------
Agriculture encloses, controls, exploits, establishes hierarchy and resentment.
Chellis Glendinning (1984) described agriculture as the 'original trauma' that has devastated human psyche, social life, and the biosphere.
... human reason is no longer neutral
... our reason imprisons our true humanity, while destroying the natural world.
How else to account for the fact that human activity has become so inimical to humans, as well as other earthy species?
This disease of reason, which interprets reality as an amalgamation of instruments, resources, and means, adds an unprecedented and uncontrolled measures of domination.
...reason's "neutrality" was missing from the start. Meanwhile we are taught to accept our condition.
Division of labor gives effective power to some, while narrowing or reducing the scope of all.
...in only 10,000 years, the rapid descent into a civilised lifeway.
...With civilisation, how it is is how it's always been. Russel Hoban's 1980 novel, Ridley Walker, provides keen insight into the logic of civilisation. What some call progress, the narrator calls Power...
The contrast with 1000's of generations of forager (hunter-gatherer) life is staggering.
There is no dispute that these ancestors put sharing at the center of their existence.
Aka people of Africa... Mbuti people addressed greetings to "Mother Forest, Father Forest".
It appears that societies organized on a truly human scale fell victim to the exigencies of domestication.
*** It may be that we can only solve the planet's overpopulation problem by removing the root cause of basic estrangement from one another. ***
People used fire for cooking 1.9 million years ago; and built and sailed seagoing vessels at least 800,000 years ago!
These people must have been intelligent...
To re-present reality involves a move to a complete, closed system, of which language is the most obvious example and perhaps the original instance.
Whence this will to create systems, to name and count? Why this dimension that looks suspiciously like instrumental reason, with its essentially dominating core?
Language is routinely portrayed as a natural and inevitable part of evolution. Like division of labor, ritual, domestication, religion?
"In the beginning was the Word" - the convening of the symbolic domain. After Eden's freedom was revoked, Adam named the animals and the names /were/ the animals. In the same way Plato held that the word /creates/ the thing. There is a moment if linguistic agreement, and from then on categorized frame is imposed on all phenomena.
...Many languages start out rich in verbs, but are gradually undone by the more common imperialism of the noun.
This parallels the movement to a steadily more reified world, focusing on objects and goals at the expense of process.
Symbolic modes may begin with some freshness and vitality, but eventually reveal their actual poverty, their inner logic.
The innate sensual acuity of human infants steadily a trophies as the grow and develop interaction with a symbolic culture to infiltrate and monopolise most aspects of our lives.
In the case of anarchy, there is an awareness that living in equality with each other humans necessitates the rejection of all forms of domination, including leadership and pitical representation.
"Animism" refers to the extention of that awareness to other life forms and even to "inanimate" dwellers on the planet, such as rock, clouds, rivers.
The fact there is no word related to animism, analogous to anarchy, is an index of how distanced we are from this awareness, in our present state.
Green anarchy explicitly states that anarchy must embrace the community of living beings, and in this sense takes a step toward reawakening this awareness.
...While the fundamental reasons for the community's loss go unrecognised and unmitigated.
...as with Aka and Mbuti described above, feelings of oneness with earth and all its inhabitants, as a sense of the joy and meaningfulness of existence, seem to flourish when we have humans live in egalitarian, face-to-face groups.
...in fact reality is decisively mediated by language.
Postmodernism ups the ante in two ways.
1...Because language is basically a self-referential system, Postmodernism avers, language cannot really involve meaning.
2...there is only language (as there is only civilization); there is no escape from a world defined by language games (and domestication).
The ultimate in representation is the current "society of the spectacle" described so vividly by Guy Debord. We now consume the image of living; life has passed into the stage of its representation, as a spectacle.
Has there ever been so much incessant yammer about democracy, and less real interest in it? To represent or be represented is a degradation, a reduction, both in the sense of symbolic culture and in terms of power.
To quote Riddley Walker (novel)..."let go"...
"the onlyes power is no power". The heart of anarchy.
Instead, technology and it's accomplice, culture, must be met by a resolute autonomy and refusal that looks at the whole span of human presence and rejects all dimensions of captivity and destruction.
------------
Final thought:
I really like the idea of decreasing population (or saving existing people & saving energy) by reducing "estrangement from one another."

Just for old times' sake, my petition to allow US and UK trans and nonbinary people fleeing transphobic laws and a potential genocide to claim asylum in Canada? Well, it closes in just under one week. At the moment, we're about sixteen thousand signatures short of the second-most signatures on any Canadian petition to the government. Ever.
So I'm gonna send this around one more time, with the hope that Canadians will see it, sign it, and pass it along. You will need a Canadian address (a real one) to fill out the form.

Here’s the hidden truth of education:
You don’t know what you’re preparing for.
Your teaching doesn’t know. Your future employer doesn’t know. Nobody knows. Not really. What you’re preparing for might not even exist yet. We •hope• it doesn’t exist yet: don’t we educate students in the hope that they will make the world better by changing it? By creating realities that don’t even exist yet?

Haven't read it...
probably more to it than what is written... (which doesn't give any less sadness)
But in the department of expecting grateful kids, or not to a fake kind of peace, layered on top of lots of undealt with stuff (if this is the case) then I'm not surprised.
Of course this might be way off and
I am possibly mistaken but in writing I wanted to write something even before seeing this and this just triggered it (for a less related reply) so sorry but I think "it's all relative."
(Pardon the 'puns' on "triggered" and "relativity" but as words they seem to reflect truth in life and death).
The system doesn't care much either etc etc... and is clever at extracting from patient (parents) their energy (blood sweat and tears) so they don't drop dead but care less and less so all is even more hidden/overlooked in 1000 other ways.
I'm guessing happy people would only respond otherwise not knowing how aesthetically covered all life is to the reality.
