I have no idea what this is. But it's wonderful.
Things the EDC crowd don't seem to carry

- Ovaries
Dear students,
- As the teacher of this cours, I have power over you.
- I don't like that, but I cannot change it.
- What I *can* do is to hand over my most powerful tool of control: grading.
- You get to decide on your own grade in this course.
- Grades are bullshit anyway.
- I'd rather have my course be pass/fail.
- But I'm not allowed to do that.
- I'm tempted to just give everyone an 8/10 if you pass.
- But the grading system also has power over you and I cannot change that.
- So I decided to just leave it up to you.
- Not whether you pass, I decide that. But if you do the work, everyone passes.
Observations
- There is a surprising amount of overlap/connection between here and are.na.
- I've been low-key using are.na for quite a while but only for myself. I didn't explore, browse, or follow.
- https://www.are.na/non-propositional/
- I've only recently been diving into the small or indy web. Via which I found special fish.
- This connection made me take a closer look at what people post/collect on are.na.
- I get a very 'tumblr for grow-ups' vibe over there
- I used to be on tumblr quite actively (well, actively following/reading in any case).

- All this has got to mean something, I suppose?
