Oh, if we're talking kids? I'll bury a child. I'll give a small human a Diamond Cutter he'll never forget.

Hello and greetings from the Turkopticon team!

In February, we posted that we were working to raise money to hire someone to organize conversations within the TO community about the future of Turkopticon. We called this role/person an "organizer" and wrote:

"We want to hire an organizer to be able to talk with TO community members to answer the question: shut [down] or handover? We would like this person to be able to survey the TO community about whether they have an alternative to using TO, and if not, why not. If there is a strong contingent that wants to operate TO in the future, the organizer can facilitate conversations among people who don't know each other but might need to learn to work together to take over. And if people are largely okay transitioning off of TO but need support to do so, the organizer can figure out what sort of support is necessary and help get it set up. In short, an organizer is a third party who is good at listening, who has a fresh set of eyes and ears, and will put in the proper time to facilitate decision making about Turkopticon's future."

We have good news. We found the funding. The funding is from the Open Society Foundation, a New York-based philanthropic foundation that funds a range of initiatives around tools for online work and organizing. Their funding is enough to hire a community organizer for about a year and pay programmers for time necessary to do possible re-engineering for Turkopticon.

Now comes the interesting part -- finding the right organizer and hiring them. This process has to support the community, so we need your help, knowledge, and involvement. We want workers to direct the future of Turkopticon, and we want to start practicing that now.

We are calling for people from the community to help us hire this person. These people will:

- Talk about what kinds of qualities they want an organizer to have

- Draft a job description to circulate (we have a draft to start with and rework)

- Interview and select candidates

We recognize that this requires time -- time you could be earning money -- so (since we finally have funding) we can offer prepaid debit cards at the rate of $15 / hour for the time you spend contributing to this committee.

If you're interested, please sign up here:

Note for signing up: Your Turkopticon user ID is ---------------------

P.S. We recognize that we've sometimes made calls for volunteers and haven't had the bandwidth to properly follow through. If you're someone who has offered to volunteer with Turkopticon in the past, thank you. And if you did not receive the follow-up you deserved, we're sorry. The situation is different now because we have funding to pay folks for their time and because Lilly passed her big tenure milestone -- wrote her book, now has more job security --so she can prioritize this.

P.P.S. We know not that many people read this forum, so we're going to send out an email about this too. But feel free to share it in other places where TO users might be reading.

Nothing makes you feel more tough and manly than giving a Rock Bottom to a 5 year old

 

i just got lost in a sea of "dog wrestling" gifs, which is a mixed bag of adorable, frightening, sad, and confusing.
