Chapter Seven takes a breather to consider what the Architecture Advice Process sweeps away of traditional practice (bureaucracy) & what it puts there instead. (culture and conversations).
But this doesn’t come for free, so I discuss anti-patterns, setting the scene for a set of optional, supporting practices with help from the wisdom of Jo Freeman, Patty McCord and @JuttaEckstein
@JuttaEckstein @gdinwiddie @kralcttam YES. i keep my old iPad in my kitchen that literally is just there for my recipes and occasionally looking something up on the web. how much compute/latest and greatest software do i really need for that? I think there are cool uses for old iPads, like I'd wanted to hang one in my closet with the weather or something. Or maybe have it just be a display to the camera out front of my house (I have weirdly terrible visibility to the front of my house) - no reason the old one can't be useful when I upgrade.... except... apple gives us a reason.
@deco @gdinwiddie @kralcttam@defcon.social That's one of the many cases where software causes electronic waste. 🙄
In mir keimt total ungerechtfertigte Hoffnung auf.

To those who have reached out, left comments, or written, THANK YOU. It feels good to be seen.
Unfortunately for most of you, you value my words, my help, my spaces, and my time only when it suits you. Like others before who have used Jewish people for their wares, only to dump them on the side when things are hard or no longer convenient, you are no different.
The same goes for how many of you use autistic and other disabled people on this platform and in the wild. You will engage, follow, share, support, send us messages and join us in our spaces, using our labour for free. And we do it out of love and solidarity.
But the second you understand that our identity or nationality isn’t something you like (which is bigoted too btw) you drop us. Harass us.
Using disabled people and autistic people like utensils is ableist. Your solidarity was never solidarity. It was you using me for my labour.
Using my Israeli disabled labour was only convenient when you didn’t know about that first part. You know what that makes you? Fill in the blank
It’s truly amazing how many of you showed your true faces.
Showed your faces for being ableist, racist, antisemites, bigots, and worse.
LARPers. Orientalists. Whether you call me a murderous Israeli or a self-hating Jew, no matter what side of this you’re on, you’re a fraud.
I’m a human. I’m a Jewish human. I’m an Israeli human. I’m an #ActuallyAutistic human. And if you can’t remember my humanity, why do you think I owe you anything?
As many of you here, and as all of you who have met or worked with me, know, I am an Israeli.
I’m also a life long peace activist for Israel-Palestine.
Unfortunately, MANY of you have taken the last few days to attack me, call me a murderer, lecture me about the world I grew up and lived in for 35+ years of my life, dare to speak down to me and over me, erase my history and lifelong dedication for Palestinian rights, and even wished me to die.
Others of you have taken the opportunity to call me an antisemite, a race traitor, a horrible person, a hypocrite, a terrorist, and erase my history and lifelong dedication to Jewish life and making Israel a better place to live.
Yet, VERY FEW of you have asked how I am. How is my family? How are my friends? How are YOU?
Well, no. I have my family & friends in deep crisis. Many have lost their own other family and friends, parents, siblings, kids and lovers - some by bullets, others by fire, others by kidnapping. A comrade of mine lost his parents. An other had their 16 year old son taken into Gaza. Too many people I know or am connected to have been murdered or taken. And I use the word murder, not killed, because sleeping civilians in their home or at a party are not military combattants. Babies aren’t targets.
I also have Palestinian friends who have lost families in Gaza from the bombs currently falling from IDF planes. My heart aches for them too as theirs does for me.
But many of you only care about death when one side fits your own narrative and unformed and ignorant beliefs.
So no, I’m not OK. I’m not OK at all.

"Media Matters ran a test of X’s system for reporting policy violations by flagging 28 posts that specifically claimed that 'Hitler was right' or a 'final solution' is needed for Jewish people. X’s reporting system responded in five instances by telling us those don’t violate the platform’s policies." https://www.mediamatters.org/twitter/x-repeatedly-told-us-users-who-posted-hitler-was-right-and-urged-final-solution-jewish #Twitter
I'm available for work, to my surprise.
The Redis marketing department had a re-org, and I'm among the victims.
Perhaps that's good news for you. You're thinking, "Maybe Esther can work for me!" or "Oooh, I know someplace where she'd be perfect!"

Finally on Mastadon... Look for news about the 2023 ACC-WW(Home Edition) and the 2024 in-person ACC-WW.
Confused by the sustainability lingua? Uncertain about what's carbon negative vs positive vs climate negative / positive? 🤔

Question for #blind #VisuallyImpaired folks, what kind of image descriptions do you prefer?
So excited to have @JuttaEckstein & Claudia Melo sharing their pioneering work in sustainability for s/w on @janetgregoryca *20th* episode of our Donkeys & Dragons video chat! 18 minutes of great insights & lots of links to learn more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3mmHSo2zmw&t=3s
DHL hat das direkte verlinken auf ihre Formulare zur erneuten Zustellung von Sendungen blockiert, was wir (@digitalcourage) mit unserer dafür eingerichteten Website https://neuzustellen.de möglich machten. Heise berichtet treffend in der Rubrik WTF darüber:
https://www.heise.de/news/DHL-will-keine-praktischen-Links-fuer-Neuzustellungen-9058791.html
Und wir haben die Links um die Beschreibung der Klickpfade zu den Formularen ergänzt. Bin gespannt wie das weitergeht... #wtf #dhl #digitalzwang #bba23
Thank you both so much! It wasn't recognizable that this was Oana Moraru - Scrum Trainer 🦄's first time as a co-host (with @virtual_agile). We had such a lovely and inspiring conversation!
Which insights are your main takeaways?
Let's explore together how we can have a positive impact on the course of the current planetary challenges. We have work to do!
Can we count on you?
