    Strictly speaking, the one does not contradict the other, as each chiefly addresses different topics: the unhoused in public spaces on the one hand, public drug use on the other.

    Yet a difference in attitude is certainly present here, as well as a difference in the understanding of freedom as a value.

    I don't have a pat answer about the "correctness" of either approach. I do know that progressives should be thinking hard about these matters
    and be ready for challenging discussion about public space, inclusion, and the justifiability or otherwise of paternalism with regard to housing, drug use, and mental illness.

  6. Alas, the reality in Britain is so-called " #pub community " revolves around heavy #alcohol use (and is dominated by white males with centrist or right-wing political views), outside of towns Britain is heavily car dependent and society rightly no longer tolerates DUI - and in town if you aren't driving you have to get back home somehow - streets at night aren't always pleasant in town even for men (especially if you are also from any ethnic minority, marginalised group or neurodiverse) and are even worse for women / openly LGBT+

    On top of cost of living, this adds to reasons why pub culture is dying ( and I say this as a member of #CAMRA )

    We do need more #ThirdSpaces which open in the evening, but aren't dependent on alcohol dealing!

  16. Ten years ago a group of us met in an Arcadia coffee shop to talk about literature and theology, perhaps after the manner of the Oxford Inklings. We decided to meet once a month, and did so until Covid put an end to such gatherings, and here is a record of our first meeting.

    Two of the founding members, David Levey, of the English Department at Unisa, and Tony MacGregor, have since died (though not of Covid), so we haven't been able to revive it. It was an example of a "third space" gathering (the first two "spaces" being home and work).

  21. This last six months I have so, so enjoyed being able to take the train to a movie theater in downtown KC. The theater is right at the train stop, so it's like getting to be chauffered.

    I got an email that it was being closed this weekend literally as I was listening to a video about the disappearance of third spaces yesterday.

    I hate the billionaires and how they've fucking killed everything good in this country.

  23. @joan_de_art makes great solarpunk art. You've likely seen one of these floating around, but I found the source if one wanted to know. Anyways, these do a good job of introducing solarpunk ideals and capturing the spirit of solarpunk design.

  28. @annaleen Took a break from rereading texts I’m using in my classes this semester to enjoy a few hours with the robots (and Robles) at #automaticnoodle What a lovely novella: It conjured up so many fun memories of all the #thirdspaces I’ve enjoyed over the years. Thank you for sharing their story with the world.

  33. Btw, I don't want to but I'm gonna ask for some money #mutualaid #LeftistSpaces #Anarchy #ThirdSpaces #electricity #utilities

    So my birthday is in January, which I usually don't tout much about because it's actually not a rather positive date for me.
    The leftist space that I take care of together with others is now facing a payment of 350€ for electricity, since the space got used more in 2025 compared to 2024. If I ever taught you sth which you appreciate or I've been there for you in some way and you'd like to say thanks, it would be great if you chip in some money:)
    The space is an anarcho leftist space which is used by intersectional feminist, migrant justice, climate justice and other groups.
    If that vibes with you, here is more info and how to chip in some money:

  38. 🐶 Joy, Food, and Gratitude
    1. New Neighbour: Pure joy ran into me today! Met Biscuit 🐩 and her human, my new neighbours.

    2. OMAD & Nourishment: Fueled up with homemade okra, roasted shrimp, green peas for dinner, plus a delicious lentil/split pea soup mix (thanks, BFF! 🎁). It was part of a 3-pack ready-to-make soup xmas gift I received!

    3. Body Electric : TENS massage erased yesterday's knot! Shoulders and back are clear. Ready for cupping therapy tomorrow. Working on getting my hips and spine back to perfect alignment. 🧘‍♀️

    My favourite gift isn't the pile of unopened presents waiting for New Year's Day; it's always pure Presence. Pictured here are #FediCollective folx who joined me today! Most stayed for 2 hours, the rest stayed for 3 chatting about dev, design, startups, marketing, the Open Web and what we are grateful for 💚
