4 open source ideas for holiday greetings https://opensource.com/article/21/11/open-source-holiday-greetings #opensource #holidays

@KarenWyld @indigenousauthors @bookstodon thank you for starting the #IndigenousAuthors group - I am on the West Coast of Canada in Liǧʷiɫdax̌ʷ territory also known as Campbell River. A beautiful book 'Na̱mwa̱yut - A Pathway to Reconciliation by Kwi̱nkwi̱nwa̱ligedzi Wakas Chief Robert Joseph. The publishing industry in Canada is finally making a way for Indigenous authors - it was not always so, just 40 years ago.

American propaganda about our history is something else. @HC_Richardson@twitter.com spells out the origins of Thanksgiving.

It’s wasn’t really about pilgrims and Indians. It was a morale booster during the Civil War. And it wasn’t a thing until then.

That's funny - I just wrote my last toot about exactly that and then saw your post.

I supect it will evolve rapidly.

Masto-block lists which admins can choose to pick from. The distributed nature of this makes me think there will be menus of options and tastes.

This is fun stuff!

Doing a bit of an experiment. Boost if you agree!

Trans rights are human rights.

Black lives matter.

No human is illegal.

Love is love.

Her body is her choice.

Science is real.

Kindness is everything.

Mastodon is kinda like stumbling into a shelter after a major natural disaster destroyed your town and running into people from your neighbourhood, isn’t it?
Hey! It’s you! You’re here!! You made it!!

As a pre-Thanksgiving treat to myself, I am writing emails to other academics whose work I read and enjoyed!

Here's my template:
Dear Dr XX
I recently had the chance to read YYY and wanted to write to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I particularly enjoyed <fill in details> and am citing it in <project>. Thanks for producing such good work.

Cheers,
Mirya

Technology Integration Specialist for the largest independent high school in the United States. It's been a long time since I posted a "hello world" style message to introduce myself!
New to Mastodon, obviously, and looking for my #edtech community!

@mguhlin @bookstodon I am a Stephen King fan, not that I necessarily love horror (a lot of his are more in the strange category) but my all time favorite is Pet Sematary with Michael C. Hall (Dexter) as narrator. His reading and performance of that book highlighted the absolute masterful writing.

Today is a day for observing other teachers teach. I love watching, trying to anticipate what deliberate decisions they will make, how they will take answers, how they will respond to the students’ ideas. I feel that it’s a privilege to be able to see! #EduTooter #EduToot #Teaching #Teachers #TeachingAndLearning
