Alright, sent an email to the head of my local library about setting up a seed library there.
Seeds libraries are places you can go and "check out" seeds. Grow the seeds. Let one of the grown plants go to seed. Harvest the seeds. Then "return" the seeds back to the seed library!
Free seeds!!!!
Check and see if you have a seed library near you: https://www.communityseednetwork.org/map/
Or connect and share seeds with folks online:

Four years ago... There are more Billionaires now.

Every time your corporate boss cancels a meeting, spend the hour fixing bugs for an open source project.
It's been a while since I introduced this project!
Mutant Standard is an emoji set that aims to combine familiar, standardised symbols with completely new non-standard ones, aimed at helping particular groups of people (queers and furries in particular) communicate themselves more authentically.
In a similar way to a language, the standard set of symbols that we think of 'emoji' (the emoji keyboards on our devices) are not universal - it's a particular way of seeing the world. Unlike a language, the standards that set what emoji we see in most situations are made by a particular organisation called the Unicode Consortium.
In order to have an emoji in this system, you have to basically petition Unicode to include it in next year's slate of emoji updates. There are both understandable technical reasons why this system exists, but also cultural downsides, namely - you have to ask this consortium, comprised of billion dollar American tech companies, to consider including your thing.

Rozečetl jsem novou knihu a už teď ve čtvrtině vím, že je to jedna z nejlepších knih, co jsem kdy četl. Annette Bjergfeldt: Kodaňská píseň písní. Překlad Robert Novotný.
Nedokážu se od knížky odtrhnout. Čtu v posteli do zemdlení, čtu před snídaní, během ní, čtu po návratu z práce, při vaření. Čtu na záchodě. Ani nepamatuji, kdy se mi to stalo naposledy.

"The key to our collective survival is our collective knowledge and our willingness to collaborate in good faith. To unlock and utilise the great and growing pool of knowledge, we need to reimagine higher education as an open commons. Scholars are not cogs in a capitalist knowledge factory. We need stewards of the public knowledge commons."
👏🏽 Jim Luke (@econproph) is on 🔥 here - go read his amazing chapter
"Closing the factory: Reimagining higher education as commons", which has been published just earlier this week as an #OAbook with @OpenBookPublish

🧵 The #FreeSoftware/#OpenSource status of #Matrix, #Element and other related projects is in serious trouble. The main company running the ecosystem, @element, will fork the main projects from their previous steward, the @matrix@mastodon.matrix Foundation, make AGPL-3.0 the new default license, and put a #CLA in front of it.
This is a common scheme called Rights-Ratched-Model as coined by @webmink. I see a number of upcoming changes that are bad for user freedom, interoperability and communities:
