why is there no winter crufts

what if we just reframed al the specific anti- X / amazon / google / microsoft / palantir et al. activism as simply

the don't rent software from paedophiles campaign

feels like that should work across the board?

Incredibly disappointing from @theproudtrust.bsky.social, who took away our only non profit queer space in the city centre and now are evicting grassroots organisers who are trying to reinstate it. Without this, The Proud Place isn't an LGBT community centre, it's an office space with gay branding.

honestly my conclusion has become that everyone is struggling with loneliness but we only talk about men's, because when women get lonely they take up knitting or something and when men get lonely they join an incel murder club

i can only imagine people think his politics is different to what it actually is as he sometimes says things on morning radio and has a northern accent?

genuinely confused why people think burnham would be any different to starmer they are just the same guy in a different font and their policy positions are identical? like starmer, burnham is a racist pro cop pro developer economic centrist, but unlike him he's lost 2 leadership elections already?

A run-down of 15 ways we could think of to get funding for your project: from the capitalist (venture capital) to the grassroots (direct donations).

Because, hot take, the revolution needs a business plan.

Finished my super mega post for @gfsc.community on all the kinds of funding I could think of and what you have to do to get them 😅 this is all just my opinion (and some of @szemi-petra.bsky.social's on art grants) so take with a grain of salt but hopefully useful!!

This also means it will be INESCAPABLE for the next decade more than it already is.

The sheer grip this woman has just because our entire economy is fucking HP, bakeoff and jeremy clarkson and litearlly nothing else is wild

Why tax the rich when you can simply have more harry fucking potter

bumped into a screenwriter friend who told me loads of the london film scene are signing 10 year contracts to work on a harry potter HBO series. The mists have cleared and I now understand what is going on.

Supposedly this is a 3-4bn economy boost.

@greenparty.org.uk hey i would love to join but i really really don't want to give you my phone number. can you reconsider this being a mandatory requirement for membership please?

ive had a couple weeks in germany and its great because i cant read any of the doom, big reccomend going somewhere you are functionally illiterate

A lot of my personal political project right now is trying to re-materialise tech which has been delibarately obfuscated so we can be sold more shit faster with greater surveillance. Spotify was fascinating to break down and think about the bits that make it up. I'm happy to now be rid of it tho!

SORRY

starting to realise vibe coding is unironically a form of gambling where if you just put your chips (ai usage tokens) on the right numbers (enter the right prompt) you too can win a passive income saas

anyway gonna sticky this and keep my account open for now so people i meet at things can DM me / find me / tag me but won't be very responsive going forwards and do DM me if you want to get on genuinely community owned social media

ultimately bsky tried to fill that x/twitter gap but the problem is neither site really has any reason to exist and this is just another silicon valley megapp that prob gets enshittified the moment it gets any real use

yes mastodon/fedi kinda sucks but i promise you the culture there is just better

think im gonna take a break from bsky for no other reason than aside from the incoming real life id policy that will gut the site it commits the worst social media sin: its boring

i would love to follow more of you on mastodon @kim@social.gfsc.studio and would love to help more of u get on there

give trans women the benefit of the doubt challenge level: impossible

Look forward to people going mental over an unprecedentedly high 5% turnout

Ok but can we keep the landlord thing

big approve to lowering the voting age and suggest two more policies:

- a maximum voting age of about 50
- landlords can't vote for impatiality reasons

i completely forgot about this lmao

#notallmen but its always men with the jobs that involve climbing a ladder to your bedroom window without knocking innit

One of the main things about London I’m jel of
