Special MishMash Thursday Post

My Thursday Special post this week is a Pinterest board on composting that I made for class.

and a one sentence summary of my contemplations on Open Educational Resources.

I really am ruminating about OERs and the benefits of 'open systems'... I think about socialism and communism, and organic cells with permeable membranes...

If anyone has any resources that explain the benefits of open systems, even in nature, economics, anything(!!) PLEASE post a comment.


System Skip ⏭

I have a system of posting, M, TH, SUN.

and yesterday, I skipped... I feel as though I've disappointed myself... and quite possibly you, readers/classmates... who I'm pretty sure have no opinion on the matter... do you?

But I'm suffering from 'long/post covid' symptoms... I have constant fatigue... it's the last semester of my Master's program, 12 instead of 16 weeks, two classes, a portfolio, preparation for graduation, and job hunting. This might not seem like much, in comparison to my contemporaries who have children, FT jobs, and a mortgage... but for me, this is a lot. I know, compare and despair... I'm not beating myself up over it, I'm just... contemplating. #insecurity 

I know myself, and yes, I have a medium-lower tolerance for certain things than other people... that's halfway alright with me. I tend to go full force into whatever I am doing, for example, eme6414, web 2.0... I am very actively participatory in my online communities, a photo I posted last week has 117 reactions, 45 comments, and two shares and it's spurred a meet-up to barter with another member. I've commented on countless posts and have had an incredible amount of engaging conversations about the topic of sustainable living, in which I am immensely interested.

I return to my last weeks, WonderingWednesday, how can I live like this sustainably... be able to participate in OER but still provide for myself, shelter, finances, expenses, insurance, etc?

Check out my thread, a read-along of MIT published article on OER:

I am sad to report I got ONE vote on a posted poll, to see if my Twitter followers enjoyed Tweet-Read-Alongs, apparently, they've had "enough already." This is sad for me, because posting read-along help me with active reading. I'm having flashbacks of when I used social media unsocially... it's the platforms that really speak to me, the softwares. Honestly, I am considering making a separate Twitter to store my read-along for self-referencing, in the future. Priornear might be onto something here, a platform dedicated to bookmarking and side-notes or references to content that is surfed upon? It sounds like Twitter, but maybe there's a separate option for sharing socially vs. keeping private? #youhearditherefirst

#SumItUpSunday

This challenge was so fun! I really enjoyed being part of the EME6414 community on Twitter. Honestly, I feel I might regularly incorporate #WonderingWednesday and/or, more definitely #TBT #ThrowbackThursday into my Twitter discourse, especially in relation to Web 2.0 technologies, I can't describe how excited I am to reflect on the technological experiences of my past. I do hope that some of my classmates will continue some of the hashtags too because it is nice to be asynchronously synchronous on some topics throughout the week. I had a fun time seeing other classmates' ideas and thoughts about the same prompts!
