Hope more people will toot about #OEGlobal22. If not, we’ll summarize afterwards, for all the #OpenEducation practitioners and advocates, here.
Does anyone know what's happened to the Tiny Spark podcast and host Amy Costello?
It is (or was) a production of Nonprofit Quarterly, and was IMO hugely useful for a candid view inside the nonprofit / NGO / charitable world.
Both have been silent since December 2021.
NPQ aren't responding to multiple email requests.

@JohnJClimateMarcher @ericireland @TonyStark not only do you pay for Fox even if you don't watch it, you likely pay more for it than other 24/7 news stations
So, are there any services in the US that carry most of the usual channels without paying the Murdoch tax?
I just checked Sling and now *both* Orange and Blue list Faux Spews

"Groups that operate under the guise of inclusion are serving the greater goal of crypto that keeps the whole thing afloat: finding ever more fools to buy in so that the early investors can take their profits."

"[Black Americans] are, however, almost twice as likely to describe cryptocurrencies as a safe investment. Fully 30% of black investors believe crypto is regulated by the government (14% of white investors thought the same)."

“.01% of bitcoin holders hold 27% of all bitcoin! That’s 100x the wealth concentration of the regular economy.”

Another quick question for people who speak and write in languages other than English: Do you get upset when people use translation software to reply to your posts if they are not native speakers/writers? Why or why not?
If y'all could boost this post so that I can get more responses from people who speak/write English and at least one other language, that would be great! #CommunityDevelopment

I also loved picking up this resource, The Ad Hoc Accessibility Beyond Compliance Playbook https://adhoc.team/playbook-accessibility/ at the Accessibility Beyond Compliance session.
Also, a great opportunity to get pointers on #accessibility in public meetings during the Q&A! (TLDR: budget, advanced planning).

Code for America Summit recordings coming soon to their channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6VjQY-gIxXGKmjW0LeMGOw
Yesterday's second Summit was virtual attendance at Code for America's hybrid event.
I was disappointed about the cancellation of "Equity pauses: Small, practical methods of baking bias reduction and equity into the research process" with Risha Parikh of JustFix . These seemed like useful ideas for a current #civictech project.
However, that freed me up to check out the session about Code for Asheville's court reminder project. Nice to have options!
