the provide in "then provide tools and templates for dismantling white supremacy" is a little problematic. Dismantling supremacy isn't about "providing" tools to the oppressed. We should reword so the work stops at just checking ourselves, which is work that doesn't end
#
[jgmac1106]
...same time we want to provide organizing tools...just think it needs some word work...want to have the sentiment but without the "Dances with Wolves" sentiment of "provide"
#
[jgmac1106]
yes..and this is remote...I was going to suggest bifurcating Organizers meetings
#
[jgmac1106]
into two clear agenda items...rightfully so much of the time is spent planning the actual event next day. but we also want to reserve time for meta issues and respect timezones of remote attendees who dont need to plan the day to day of the event
#
[jgmac1106]
...gonna go add this to a a page somewhere

↩️ Think it's because many of us come from or are exploring the #IndieWeb, therefore, we think in terms of post kinds.

↩️ It's pretty awesome, and the issue currently with the IndieWeb is that at least for some things, only certain themes work with it. Wordpress is particularly suffering from that at the moment.

So today.. in coding wins, Got a better rendering of tweets in my #indieweb replies and better parsing of reddit posts. Geeze, every website needs to have its own parsing logic gasps. All I want is proper #microformats everywhere https://jj.isgeek.net/2020/06/22-063526/

↩️ If you can make it, we'd love to have you join us at IndieWebCamp West this weekend. We're overdue to build out more functionality for audience, privacy, and safety. Perhaps suggest it as a session if you can join? https://boffosocko.com/2020/06/22/55772596/ https://2020.indieweb.org/west

[jgmac1106] I can see how you would interpret provide that way (not my intention) and we should improve wording in particular. In as much as white(ish) people can do work themselves to dismantle white supremacy, they can take learnings from that work, and literally *provide* those learnings to other white(ish) people who may be encountering similar challenges. There was no intent of "saviourism" and we should explicitly caution against that.

I get it and I don't interpret it that way, but know how perceptions can be different...something like "build with" rather than "provide" or "build for" and not a big deal...we have just been talking about language so much
#
@tinysubversions
↩️ Yeah. It just still has the feeling of "magic" to it that IndieWeb documentation tends to have. Like you have to dig one or two levels to get beyond magic. I think it is possible to reveal technical details while not being unfriendly even to technical people.

[jgmac1106] That's an excellent suggestion! Feel free to update /Organizers accordingly: > something like "build with" rather than "provide" or "build for"

There it was often used with very subtle "othering" overtones toward non-dominant cultures.

[chrisaldrich] interesting, the source of the expression (at least in this instance/ context) was BSA
#
[tantek]
did you see the See Also I added to /jargon?
#
[chrisaldrich]
yes, that's how I saw it.
#
[chrisaldrich]
What is BSA?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "BSA" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "BSA is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek]
wait, is your what is BSA rhetorical then? because if you saw the See Also then you saw the expansion of BSA
#
[chrisaldrich]
I only saw the redirect edit on the wiki. I didn't go past that, so honestly don't know what BSA is...
#
[tantek]
yes hence why I asked if you saw the added /jargon#See_Also entry 🙂
#
[chrisaldrich]
I'm seeing it now...
#
[tantek]
regardless we don't need the redirect so I'll delete it
#
tantek.com
deleted /mumbo_jumbo "unnecessary "#REDIRECT[[jargon]]""
#
[chrisaldrich]
The term has definitely passed into such common use and some of its history has disappeared that some wouldn't know.

Today I came across a toot by Kev Quirk with a thorough and yet simple tutorial on how to set up an h-card on your site. A few hours later, after baby duty, it’s done. {micro maique} now has a working “business card for the IndieWeb”. https://fosstodon.org/%5B@kev%5D(https://micro.blog/kev)/104394025768933225
