New #OPM Guidance directs agency directors to disregard #Collective #Bargaining #Obligations. The agency head’s ability to set overall #telework levels and to exclude specific positions
from telework #eligibility under the Telework Enhancement Act are exercises of #management rights to determine the agency’s #mission and organization, direct #employees, and assign work. #labor #unions #employment #legalresearch #govdocs #legislation #congress https://chcoc.gov/sites/default/files/Guidance%20on%20Collective%20Bargaining%20Obligations%20in%20Connection%20with%20Return%20to%20Office%202-3-2025%20final.pdf

While fedi is funding projects at something like 2 grand a week, how about funding a tiny #queer family/collective! We're are *much* more efficient than that!

We would love to hit our goal $50 a week!

For that low low cost you get an #Indigenous led/run glitch server, us working on a gnu IMP renaming, emojis, community email, a static site generator, and all kinds of community tech-related projects we dream up!

Hi, I'm Magnus. Pretty new on here, but not entirely: I had an account on #MastodonSocial, but that sucked. Before that I was on Twitter for some years as The Money Machine (@para_paramoney).

I recently quit my bank job ( #KYC/ #AML) and moved from #Copenhagen to #Svendborg into a #collective housing situation with 11 new comrades, in a giant house in the forest.

https://www.lifeisasacredtext.com/organize/ #Solidarity is the only way home. We must build #collective #power. We must deepen our relationships of #trust and care across lines of difference, across coalitions, across communities. That's the foundation upon which everything else resides. Lives are, have been, will continue to be even more at stake: We must put aside petty in-group and intergroup squabbles and focus on the #whitesupremacist #ChristianNationalist #authoritarianism that has arrived to our door #maga

Will the Aldercones be able to put out a newsletter regularly next year!? Follow us (and become a monthly supporter!) to find out!

Running #fediverse software as a #collective seems like a nice way to build communities on a strong legal ground. Any plans, blueprints, or concepts out there on how to go about it already?
Asking for a (lot of) friend(s)

Schlein e la scelta di non reagire (certa che un patto alla fine si farà)

I piani già con lo sguardo al voto per il Colle

Translated:
Schlein and the choice of not reacting (certain that a pact will be made in the end)

I am already looking forward to the vote for the Collective.

Museum Human follows up on Tuesday’s post about museum-field conversations in a post-Twitter world with a bunch of links on museums, AI, remote/hybrid work, and all the possible futures we can imagine and make—if we work together. Try the future. Subscribing is free: https://www.museumhuman.com/links-of-the-week-october-4-2024-imagining-and-building-something-new/ #museum #museums #futurism #collective #AI #remote #hybrid

Museum Human has heard the laments over the lack of museum conversation space post-Twitter. But is there a bigger problem in the field, and society, when we can’t accept what monopoly capitalism has wrought—and imagine and work towards something better?

I pledge that when I ask for money for work, I will NOT:
- work for a boss
- be a boss
- let myself be exploited
- exploit or cheat anyone else
- do subpar work or stuff I don't believe in just for money
- use or support ads, tracking, LLMs or other privacy-/rights-violating software or similar (including yet-to-be-invented) technologies
- create artificial scarcity or tacitly support it
- make my services too expensive for people who need them

Instead I will work for donations or with a sliding scale so people pay according to their means.

Time for a new #introduction post, as much of my last one has changed! I’m Interim Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies in the College of Arts and Letters at Michigan State University. I’m founder and Director Emerita* of #MeshResearch, a lab building open-source interoperable tools for new forms of scholarly communication. I'm also director of Knowledge Commons, a scholarly network serving knowledge creators from across the disciplines and around the world. https://hcommons.org

My research interests circulate around transforming #universities into more #open, more #generous spaces for cultural and intellectual work. My newest book, LEADING GENEROUSLY: TOOLS FOR TRANSFORMATION, coming out in October 2024 from Hopkins Press, explores the notion that #collective leadership infrastructures might be one key to that transformation. https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/12787/leading-generously

*Not a real title.

I'm Siv. I live, work, create, and activate in #Lansing, #Michigan, #USA.

I believe effective #praxis toward global #MutualAid society must center #economic #justice and #healing traumas in the human #psyche. Cultural violence is a durable response to #scarcity.

I help run the services and facilities of the #praxisdotred #tech #collective and #hacker house, such as this #mastodon instance.

Our Open Collective page is now fully up and running, with a fiscal host on-board.

We'd be very appreciative of anyone who can support us, in order to purchase more #medical supplies for #volunteer #medics operating in conflict zones, primarily #Ukraine at this time.
