Scholomance / A Deadly Education

Read The Scholomance Series by Naomi Novik ( )

I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world.

I accidentally binge read the Scholomance trilogy this week, and it was glorious. a heroine whose life curse is that she’s deeply unlikeable, and who stopped even trying. an extraordinarily powerful and socially clueless sidekick. bisexuals! evil plots to take over the world! linguistics!?

threads by meta

Liked First thoughts about Threads by Ben WerdmullerBen Werdmuller (werd.io)

Meta’s new social network is interesting: an obvious strategic shot at Twitter just as that network is running into trouble, as well as a way to iterate on its aging Facebook property. To that end, it makes sense that Meta would piggyback on the fediverse of independent social networks that interc…

It doesn’t look like Threads is coming to the EU anytime soon, so I’m getting my first look second-hand. I have personal thoughts & a conflict of interest both as a Meta employee and a Mastodon user, so I won’t write anything myself about the feature in the foreseeable future, but I liked Ben’s post…

searching for a recipe

Liked Searching for a recipe by Jeremy CherfasJeremy Cherfas (jeremycherfas.net)

We are looking after a friend’s place in the country and perhaps the hardest work is keeping on top of the vegetable garden. Ignore it for a day, and there are five large cucumbers, mocking you. My cucumber repertoire is somewhat limited; raita, quick pickle, sandwiches and, when I remember, Yan-K…

on the limits of searching for a recipe online, the problem with search engines, the problem with subscriptions, and the futility of trying to clean up this mess.

Freebox Pop Player : quelques applis intéressantes (et comment les installer)

Une télévision sur un mur blanc, au-dessus d'un meuble TV blanc. À droite, une plante verte. Aucune Freebox Pop Player n'est visible sur l'image parce que c'est manifestement une photo de stock.

J’ai récemment obtenu une Freebox Pop Player, et j’ai galéré à trouver un tuto propre pour installer les applications qui m’intéressaient (et pour savoir quelles applications m’intéressaient). En fait c’était très simple, donc je vous partage comment je m’y suis pris. L’installation J’ai installé le player normalement, il m’a mis la surcouche Free géante. Ensuite,…

Petit manuel critique d’éducation aux médias

Read Petit manuel critique d’éducation aux médias

Entretiens, retours d’expériences et analyses pour une lecture critique de la société et repenser la fabrique même de l’information. Coécrit par un collectif de journalistes et un collectif de chercheuses, ce livre met en avant les pratiques collectives et considère qu’il faut donner la parole à tout le monde.

Cet article se veut un résumé de ce qui m’a marqué dans le Petit manuel critique d’éducation aux médias. Il n’est pas exhaustif et n’a pas vocation à l’être. Le Petit manuel critique d’éducation aux médias cherche à montrer ce que La Friche pratique et voudrait promouvoir, dans un contexte où 88% des Français·es sont…

Comment écrire les mouvements sociaux ?

Read How to Write Social Movement Literature by Shane Burley

The goal of my recent anthology book “No Pasaran: Antifascist Dispatches from a World in Crisis” was to capture a small sliver of that diversity and to open up what is called antifascism, which will hopefully give us a bit of a vision for what comes next as we move past Trumpism, the alt-right and the white nationalism of decades past. In doing this, the hope was to empower underrepresented voices so that we could get a “people’s history of antifascism,” which is a mission that a lot of histories of radical movements aim for yet fail to achieve.

Le problème du discours antifasciste Les médias de masse ont beaucoup parlé des «antifa», en réponse à une grosse théorie du complot d’extrême-droite. Le problème, c’est que l’antifascisme est devenu un monolithe dans le discours public : des jeunes anarchistes, souvent blancs, habillés pour le black bloc, qui attaquent physiquement des fascistes. L’antifascisme n’avait qu’un…
