Shedding light in the Rabbit Hole
A conversation starter, a keepsake for observations, ideas, inspirations, memes, metaphors & tales, whisperings on learning, on different (critical) literacies, on revolutionizing education, on sustainable development, on societal life and critical social research, on "futures", on worldviews, on change & transformations, on diversity, social justice and emanicipations, on all the subjects that fascinate me, on beautiful things: books I love/read/want to read: stories that take me away, on music, poetry and art.
{shining & glittery rays of light} (an unending collection of interesting postmodern memes to use in the classroom)
My attempt to look for meaningful (yet at first look 'far fetched') patterns? Or just simple my way of shining some light in the rabbit hole. But most important an attempt to connect with other souls who are enjoying the fall down the rabbit hole as well...
" (...) and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it [the white rabbit], and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again..." (Lewis Carroll)

Anatomy of Facebook
Via Scoop.it - Sociological Imagination
Facebook Data Team wrote a note titled Anatomy of Facebook. Read the full text here. Think back to the last time you were in a crowded airport or bus terminal far from home. Did you consider that the person sitting next to you probably knew a friend of a friend of a friend of yours? In the 1960s, social psychologist Stanley Milgram’s “small world experiment” famously tested the idea that any two people in the world are separated by only a small number of intermediate connections, arguably the first experimental study to reveal the surprising structure of social networks. With the rise of modern computing, social networks are now being mapped in digital form, giving researchers the ability to study them on a much grander, even global, scale. Continuing this tradition of social network research, Facebook, in collaboration with researchers at the Università degli Studi di Milano, is today releasing two studies of the Facebook social graph.

How would Gandhi lead the leaderless? / Waging Nonviolence
Via Scoop.it - Sociological Imagination
In the spring of 2005 I stood on the roof of the Student Union building in Berkeley, overlooking Sproul Plaza, where I had lived through the exhilaration of the Free Speech Movement four-plus decades earlier.

It’s not the arrests that convinced me that “Occupy Wall Street” was worth covering seriously. Nor was it their press strategy, which largely consisted of tweeting journalists to cover a small protest that couldn’t say what, exactly, it hoped to achieve. It was a Tumblr called, “We Are The 99 Percent,” and all it’s doing is posting grainy pictures of people holding handwritten signs telling their stories, one after the other…These are not rants against the system. They’re not anarchist manifestos. They’re not calls for a revolution. They’re small stories of people who played by the rules, did what they were told, and now have nothing to show for it. Or, worse, they have tens of thousands in debt to show for it.

Disturbing things to think about
1. Unless we kill it off in time, Facebook will be the first company to develop an app that downloads thoughts straight from your brain, publishes them to your profile and pushes them at your “friends.”
2. They will make it the default.
3. Most people will accept the default.
