Does anybody have a handy link about why to avoid the term "meritocracy" in a code of conduct. I'm trying to help out a tech group that's very well meaning, but lacks some experience in facilitating inclusion.

    You know, it's really a lovely thing when people are really trying to do better and be more inclusive. Like.... ♥️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 🤎 🖤 🩵 🤍 🩷

    @celesteh I’m sure I’ve seen stuff in cooperative resources but brain fog is stopping me remembering, so I'm not as useful as I'd hope… Worth having a look at https://www.uk.coop/support-your-co-operative/governance-advice-and-support though there’s a lot to plough through. People Support might have some good resources too. https://peoplesupport.coop/ and paging #cooperatives #coops #WorkerCoops And of course there’s Michael Young’s “I said DON’T build the torment nexus, you fools” piece https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2001/jun/29/comment

    @celesteh boosted. The single idea I might contribute is to find a better word for “merit”, and define it to include “goes out of their way to help people with fewer privileges”
