Oceaneditors.com is looking for a new senior advisor. The ideal advisor is committed to the development of #workercoop enterprises and specifically the #exit2community #E2C structure, and can guide us in our objective to expand our client base within the academic science sector and beyond.

I'm honored that my friends trusted me to take their save-the-date photos. Here are some from the shoot yesterday. If you know anyone in VT or in New England looking to get married, I'm available to take pics. :) #theWorkshop

I am unable to find a single co-op in the U.S. that provides fiscal hosting to help other co-ops get started. If anyone knows of one (or wants to start one) I'd love to hear from you. I feel like this *has* to be a thing.

Colleague, mentor, and friend, Dr. Jessica Gordon Nembhard has been sued by a former member of the cooperative community. She is the author of Collective Courage: A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice. Even a baseless lawsuit inflicts great harm. Please donate to defray her substantial legal expenses.
And please pass the link.
Wrote a basic intro to co-ops as a guest post for my credit union's blog: https://blog.vsecu.com/what-is-a-cooperative-and-how-do-co-ops-work

Seen on Twitter:
People making jokes about the Facebook services going down make me sick. Anyone who was using an Oculus headset at the time is currently trapped in VR, and if they die there then they die in real life.

Does anyone know a trick-taking game with a more childish design than traditional playing cards, similar to what Uno does for Eights?
It's that time of the year again when the ancient oak tree in my yard gifts us enormous delicious Hen of the Wood/maitaki mushrooms.

Hey #coop brain trust. Does anyone know of a good case study of the conversion of a consumer co-op into a consumer-worker hybrid.
I'm aware of a few multi-stakeholder food co-ops like Weaver Street Market, but don't know if their ownership structure was from the start, or if they changed it from a consumer co-op?
Religion
The Satanic Temple was definitely a highlight.
Left with a greater appreciation for the tactic of calling the bluff of magical theism in forcing religion into greater accomodation with modernity.
