  1. being gay in Britain meant living in the shadows

    I grew up in a time when being gay in Britain meant living in the shadows. The 80s were loud with music, fashion, and rebellion, but silent when it came to positive queer representation... At Sixth Form, being 'different' was enough to make people afraid to be seen with you... Music became my friend, my voice, my protection.

  2. Slave wages for musicians and artists on Spotify and many other major platforms, except bandcamp and Amazon

    Now I'm going to be honest here, at three pence or less for each stream that you get you can see that you have to have over like 10,000 or more to even get something stupid like 10 pound and so that's not really enough money to pay for services and to save money you have to do everything yourself. So years ago I did this video and to help artists by giving them real money even if it is 50 pence for a song please go to bandcamp Click on link 🔗 for music in comments or bioWatch video by […]

  4. Facebook: The End of “You Didn’t Ask for This” Advertising

    Facebook’s advertising model is built on interruption.You scroll, and Facebook throws suggestions at you — products, pages, groups, videos, political content, emotional triggers, and behavioural predictions.This model is now legally vulnerable.Three things will change first:1. Forced Suggestions Will Be RestrictedFacebook will no longer be able to inject content you didn’t ask for simply because the algorithm predicts you might react to it.2. Behavioural Targeting Will Be LimitedThe […]

  5. “Symphony of Solitude” by JAYLEEBENJAMIN

    "Symphony of Solitude" by JAYLEEBENJAMIN Symphony of Solitude is a song about the kind of loneliness that comes from being visibly different in a world that rewards invisibility.It’s about the years spent walking through life feeling like an outsider - not because of anything you did, but because of who you are, how you look, how you speak, and how people project their assumptions onto you before they ever bother to know you.Growing up mixed-race, gay, and visibly “not the masculine […]

    Symphony of Solitude is a song about the kind of loneliness that comes from being visibly different in a world that rewards invisibility. It’s about the years spent walking through life feeling like an outsider - not because of anything you did, but because of who you are, how you look, how you speak, and how people project their assumptions onto you before they ever bother to know you. Growing up mixed-race, gay, and visibly “not the masculine template,” you didn’t have the option […]

    Libraries hold a special place in my heart, for reasons both intellectual and sentimental.

    Librarians are guardians of knowledge, champions of freedom, and friends of the people. They are community members, dedicated to helping connect poor people with relevant information, so they can improve their minds, educate themselves, and access job resources.

    After I became a #whistleblower in 2023, and was made #homeless , this notion was challenged.

    Librarians would block my access, call the police, and have me arrested. If you find this hard to believe, please see my whistleblower website. The PDF linked, has an appendix giving the “receipts” ( documents to corroborate my account ).

    I had applied to be a board member of the libraries in Hawai’i after attending their meetings, and saw some corruption there.

    Scroll to the bottom of this page, and see the photo of the board members. How many native Hawai’ian faces do you see? Any Japanese or brown folks?

    folkhawaii.com/about-us/

    Their former Director of Membership, Bobby Gebbia, lied in court, before the judge and cameras, saying I was a board member, though I was not granted a membership.

    In Hawai’i, librarians appear to be part of the occupying forces, whitewashing colonialism, insidiously taking over and erasing the true history of Hawai’i, which I heard from talking to local old timers.

    250 years ago, Hawai’i had not heard of Jesus, and had its own deities, ( Goddess Pele, the creator, Kaneloa, etc. )
    Then Captain James Cook invaded, and 90% of the natives were wiped out.

    Then Samson Dole attacked with soldiers, threw out the natives, turned their land into plantations, and turned the natives into day laborers on the plantation, on their own land.

    Contrary to popular belief, Hawai’i is not a part of the USA, but a belligerently occupied territory,

    1887-1897: Hawaiʻi Rebelled against the USA.

    Hawaiʻian people did not choose to be part of the USA.
    King David Kalākaua was forced to sign what is called the "Bayonet Constitution". Queen Liliuokalani asserted that Kalākaua's life was threatened: "He signed that constitution under absolute compulsion."

    Now Hawai’i is full of churches, their own gods are vanishing from memory, thanks to the “librarians”. There’s poverty, a drug epidemic, and seething discontent on the streets. Hawai’ian people are heavily overpoliced, thrown into jail without cause, and denied #justice in the #courts of the occupiers ( #USA ).

    All this is hidden from the casual tourist, content to visit a golf course on the sacred land, that has been bulldozed, and be served drinks by little brown people ( usually from the Marshall Islands, Hawai’i locals have mostly left for minimum wage jobs in mainland America ).

    Billionaires, like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, and Oprah Winfrey, “own” huge chunks of the land.

    Chinese billionaire, Eva Liu, has controlled the Punalu’u Black Sand beach, with a sweetheart deal ( $1 ), and is proposing erasing this natural landmark, spawning site of the endangered Saddleback Turtles, and building resorts there, in the name of “development”.

    In 2022, the Hawai’ian people had a setback in court.
    ( Hawaiian Kingdom v. #Biden ; December 14, 2022 )

    Librarians have been instrumental, in manipulating minds, and pushing through these insidious #imperialist agendas, and disenfranchising and displacing the local people.

  8. THE COLLAPSE OF AGGRESSIVE ADVERTISING: FACEBOOK, GOOGLE, AND THE NEW RULES

    ARTICLE THREE parts 1For more than a decade, digital platforms have relied on a simple formula:predict what you want, push it at you, and keep pushing until you click.Facebook perfected it.Google industrialised it.Instagram and TikTok normalised it.And YouTube built an entire creator economy on top of it.But the Meta case has changed the direction of travel.The legal pressure applied to Meta is not limited to Meta — it applies to the entire advertising ecosystem.The behaviours under […]

  10. Why Isn’t News of #Trump Building Vast #ConcentrationCamps Being Treated as a #NationalEmergency?

    History shows us that once a nation builds a #MassDetention apparatus, it never remains limited to its original targets. Wake up, people.

    by #ThomHartmann, Feb 05, 2026

    Excerpt: "The British originated the term '#ConcentrationCamp' to describe facilities where '#rebel' or 'undesirable' civilians were held in #SouthAfrica during the #SecondAngloBoerWar (1899–1902) to control and punish a #rebellious population.

    "They were facilities where the 'bad elements of society' were 'concentrated' into one location so they could be easily controlled and would lose access to society and thus could not spread their messages of #resistance against the #BritishEmpire.

    "Future generations of Americans—our children and grandchildren—won’t ask us whether #ICE followed civil detention statutes: they’ll want to know why we allowed concentration camps to exist in America at all.

    "The Germans adopted the term in 1933 when #Hitler took power and created his first camp for #communists, #socialists, #UnioLleaders, and, by the end of the year, Hitler’s #PoliticalOpponents. They Germanized the phrase into '#Konzentrationslager' and referred to the process of their incarceration as 'protective custody.'

    "The first camp was built at #Dachau just weeks after Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, and by the end of the year there were around 70 of them operating across the country."
