FreeSchool: Learn Respect Love @freeschool@social.cleverlibre.org
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.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
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!).
Podcast Examples:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI

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...!

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.
When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.
I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.

I finished stitching this mandala this morning. It's what I've been doing with my hands during work calls and while decompressing from a big project.
Tempted to stitch a queer-affirming quote around the outside, but not sure what that should be.

"Adding highway lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity." - Lewis Mumford in 1955.
We’ve known this for a long time, but we’ve put a massive amount of money, space, time & energy into pretending we don’t know it.

Hello Fediverse!
I'm very excited to be offering a few precious things, which I wonder if some of you may find helpful, relevant, supportive, nurturing, useful:
- Empathic listening, empathy practice
- Listening, transforming and healing for anger, shame, guilt
- Support in figuring out your vision, purpose, goals, and bringing them to reality in a way that's within your capacity, taking into account strengths and limitations
- Mediation and conflict engagement, in personal and organizational situations
- Working with transforming patriarchal conditioning, deep wounds, beliefs, behavior patterns that bring us pain and block us from addressing needs and achieving purpose
- Human centered nonviolent power-with-people organizational systems, (or: how to work together, including within your Free Software project)
- Making effective collaborative decisions that everyone can wholeheartedly embrace
- So much more... ^_^
Why:
- I believe in a world that works for all
- Bringing these things to people is directly tied to my vision and purpose
- I enjoy giving in these ways <3
- I really really wish to gain more experience in these things
- I deeply care about the Fediverse, Free Software, Free Culture, power differences, bridging gaps between people & groups
Boost to help me reach people? <3

@garius there's one big difference:
The #fediverse is not a platform, it's a protocol-based community
Move from platforms to protocols
Jitsi Chat (Audio / Video) now has Breakout rooms !...
#Jitsi Meet News Reminder:
Jitsi Chat (Audio / Video) now has Breakout rooms !
Test here (or change the end part of link to any chatroom name!)
https://meet.jit.si/chataboutit
Zoom had MAJOR advantage in this for ages to allow small groups to branch off and come back.
For those that have done T-Group meetings or anything with 10+ people, a breakout room is for groups to go off and then come back after specific smaller chat circles or just more manageable smaller sharing circles and sharing experience.
Groups can be recalled into main room where host speaks again to everyone before maybe the next round...
Anyway also check out T-Group meetings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-group_(social_psychology) and happy to say more.

People don't need enormous cars; they need respect... - Donella Meadows
People don't need enormous cars; they need respect.
- Donella Meadows
My kind of quote... hard for people understand or they forget when buying *anything* to really check themselves/actions habits.
Donella Meadows, the lead author of the LTG report:
"People don't need enormous cars; they need respect. They don't need closetsful of clothes; they need to feel attractive and they need excitement, variety, and beauty. People need identity, community, challenge, acknowledgement, love, joy. To try to fill these needs with material things is to set up an unquenchable appetite for false solutions to real and never-satisfied problems."

@slothrop The internet needs to be dumb again. I remember when double click before they were bought by Google got caught tracking people across multiple sites and it was a huge scandal for about two weeks. Internet advertising was a billion dollar industry before ad exchanges. There is no reason we can't go back to that, and it will have the added benefit of making local news a viable business model again.

I lived to code for another day 😭 At least some people get Emails at 2 AM. Others go to the office and find out their ID/login card for the building is blocked. That is how many found out when Google, Meta, and Twitter locked them out. So, if you will fire me, send me an Email or text. Then, I can go back to sleep instead of getting ready and then commuting.

Very Basic / noticeboard system by area... almost as 'idiot' as possible without many bells...
Err.. maybe like Mastodon?
Or Like my previous ideas of polls with option too see results by person who vote to then hit it off or send as group email...
Otherwise something like

We spend £50 billion on defending us from external enemies. One of the highest spends on defence in the world.
All the while, we struggle with internal demons, many created by #tory ideologies and the greed of their advocates.
We could do much better...
Renationalise the #NHS in full
Match state #pensions to the Living Wage
Stop state subsidies to #oil #pharma and many others who bribe the #tory machine to legislate in their favour and give them massive tax breaks
Capitalism is the enemy of mother earth...
