The People Vs Elon. London. #BoycottMusk

My thought for the day. #thought #mystery #connection #humanity

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Anyone in #oxford (UK) looking to buy a #cello?! (I had to give up learning because of RSI) Boosts welcome. https://www.dailyinfo.co.uk/music/2920874

Left-handed people have always existed and will always exist. We are happier, healthier, more capable when we just use our dominant hand (or hands) to write, and do complex tasks. It's possible to try to force everyone to use the same hand this leads to frustration, can hinder education. It is […]

This has to be Ben Christophers on #bbc6music ! I have only ever heard him live and on the album I bought! Amazing voice.

Stupidly excited to now have one of these Parker 45 pens. I always loved how they made the nib look - so different to the classic/standard shape. I think it's from 79-83 https://parker45pens.com/parker-45-flighter-time-line/ On the lookout for a broad nib now. Ink is diamond claret. #fountainPen

Today I went to a Transgender Unity Rally at my state capitol. This was my first rally on this topic. It was beautiful. There were maybe 300 people there. It was peaceful and wonderful. We are all people just trying to exist and hopefully love ourselves and each other. From a late 30s white […]

When your phone dies, what will you lose? Yesterday my phone screen just stopped responding to touch. The phone appeared to be fine other than that, but I could not even turn it off! I've had it 3.5 years and I always buy 2nd hand phones anyway, so perhaps I can't complain. But there's that […]

So how’s it going so far? - 32 Photos Of Real Talk Graffiti: https://streetartutopia.com/real-talk-graffiti/

I have to admit, when I joined the fediverse I didn't think it would result in me writing a heartfelt personal email of thanks to a priest. https://norden.social/@SheDrivesMobility/113868323723361765

For anyone wondering why I am so adamant in copying and saving research about #Trans, #Queer, #LGBTQI, #NonBinary etc. pp.: The destruction of research not fitting into fascist agenda has historical precedence. "The Nazi book burnings in Berlin included the archives of the institute. After the […]

Seeing what's happening in America - the rise and rise of brutality and concentrated power, championing the rich at expense of poor but controlling enough of the (social) media to convince the poor to vote for it through stoking hatred of minoritized groups of less worthy "others"... The "drill […]

We received a lot of strong applications for our Senior Front-end role at @Mastodon, but @inga_nomads and I would like to see more diverse candidates in our initial pool. Do you know of any communities (forum, Slack, Discord, newsletter…) with a diverse audience and a focus on front-end […]

#WeOwnIt saying what needs to be said again. Stop patients dying in corridors - reopen 100+ emergency care services “We have had to review patients and break bad news in the A&E corridor. We told a patient he was dying as patients were wheeled past and orders shouted across the unit. How is […]

In #pixelfed home view, how do you know why you're seeing a post? On mastodon (moshidon) it will say something like: boosted by A. In pixelfed it just shows the original poster's name, so when that isn't someone I follow I don't know why I'm seeing it.

This is not black and white #photography ! Foggy, cold day in #oxford.

Today I have signed @everton137 ‘s petition encouraging European politicians to abandon Elon Musk’s misinformation platform X. I hope this petition gets a billion signatures. https://www.openpetition.eu/petition/online/an-open-letter-to-all-european-politicians-and-leaders-to-abandon-x-twitter

We've got this story for a film, it's about how all shame is due to a woman's desires, but there's some wise and strong men who know the answer lies in violence and violation. But we can't make another film like that, it's 2025 and society has evolved. Oh no, wait, it's 2025! This needs no […]

Best Christmas present: #Poetry Unbound. 50 poems to open your world. By Pádraig Ó Teams I 💜 Pádraig and hear his lovely voice when I read his essays after the selected poems. He's such an amazing holder of space for the gamut of human experience.

I got some new #fountainPen #ink as a pressie and was impatient to try it out so bought a cheap Helix Oxford pen, thinking: a cheap pen will surely use international standard and my converter will work. Alas, darned thing uses proprietary cartridges! No excuse for this, clearly just after a […]

Just finished hand pressing a first stage proof of my firmament linocut. I’m not sure about it and having worked on it for weeks I’m going to leave it well alone for a while and finally get on with enjoying Christmas. Have a lovely one folks.

The House Ethics Committee says, Matt Gaetz spent USD 90,000 on at least 12 different prostitutes and buying drugs, so he could be high on ecstacy and cocaine at sex parties where he committed statutory rape of a 17-year-old. That is the Matt Gaetz who Elon Musk wants to be “The hammer of justice”.

Hmmm. Could I sew this? And if I could, could I afford the material? And if I could, would it even fit and if so would it look good? Needless to say my body shape does not match those of the models! Think I'll go for something simpler... #sewing

In a Wales-first (and possibly UK-first?) I've created a micro-server for Mastodon to enable local primary school children to explore social media in a safe environment. It's not connected to any other server, so only children and teachers from that school can […] [Original post on toot.wales]

Walid Barakat, a Palestinian from Jerusalem spent over 4 decades in #Assad’s prisons. It’s first time he sees a cellphone. He was 25 years old when arrested and he is now 67. #Syria Via: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDcCOBuMCfb

Here's a #poem I wrote to open a short contemplative/meditative #taize service that I'm contributing to: This space knows God. The candle’s weak flame is protected by the stillness it provides. We can rest here, a while, behind the closure of oak and iron and stones established in heavy […]

#Palestinian Wail by @EgyptianAphorist is an awesome book of poetry. Awesome because it addresses violence with love, anger with sensitivity, deception with truths that we all have within us, if we dare to reach deep inside. #poetry

Please sign this #amnestyInternational petition calling for a repeal of the anti #protest laws in #uk. > Call on the Home Secretary to take a positive new approach to protest rights by scrapping the public order elements of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022, as well as the […]

Tell Health Secretary Wes Streeting NO to more #PFI in the #NHS It's shocking how much PFI has cost the NHS - Trusts have already paid back over three and half times the PFI investment put into projects in their areas. Even the #tories said goodbye to PFI in 2018! Sign the petition to let him […]

When I was a child, I learned to count to five one, two, three, four, five. but these days, I’ve been counting lives, so I count one life one life one life one life one life because each time is the first time that that life has been taken. Legitimate Target has sixteen letters and one long […]

At the weekend I joined ~30-40 others at a demo outside #campsfield #migrant removal centre near #oxford The tories wanted to re-open this to hold people without charge, indefinitely, in prison-like conditions before sending them to Rwanda. But now #labour are in and they want to ... well, to […]

Keir Starmer talking about the 'AI Revolution' reminds of Rishi Sunak talking about the 'Crypto Revolution' and I wish Prime Ministers weren't so easily hustled. #UKPOL #Ukpolitics #Starmer #Sunak #GenAI #Crypto #TechBros

"Amnesty International UK has been increasingly worried about the deterioration of rights and quality of life for #trans people in the UK" #TransRightsAreHumanRights https://www.amnesty.org.uk/resources/amnesty-international-uks-third-party-intervention-supreme-court-appeal-case-women

Disgraceful to hear of the conditions at Manston migrant "processing centre". These institutions are stripping people of their freedom, dignity and humanity - and there are private companies profiting from it. The border industry needs shutting down! ❌

Ugh #theConversation - occasional good articles but every 4th one seems to be along the lines of "how brilliant life is thanks to #ai". I'm starting to think the whole site is ai generated.
