  1. Youth clubs, trade unions, pubs: here's how Burnham can fix Britain's social recession | Gordon Brown
    By Gordon Brown

  3. Atm there are not that many people in the neighbourhood centre so it's the perfect time to draw. Especially after a eventful week it's a nice way to process al the information and emotions. #volunteering #communitycentre #drawing #doodleart

  4. Sometimes people tell us to "get a job" as if it's that simple.

    There are multitudinous good reasons why we:
    1. Consider our work for Vulpine Labs and the local community more important than any run of the mill "job".
    2. Cannot seriously be expected to attain traditional employment.
    3. Shun traditional models of pay in favour of Mutual Aid.

    And we won't let capitalism grind us down.

    Today, Atha:
    Reset the mouse traps in the bus
    Cleared snow off the bus and car (altitude does not care for your "seasons", mere mortals)
    Got a new phone from a good friend
    Set up an LELink LeafSpy OBD2 device to help diagnose and fix the car
    Did some reading at the library to get back in the mood for learning Python

    And Inara:
    Did trans HRT injections
    Did some cleaning and tidying
    Took the car to do a slow charge session
    Did some phone setup
    Will likely cook food for us and a homeless friend, and do some VR.

    If you want to fling us some currency to keep the mardy old system at bay and fill up the bus's thirsty diesel tank, feel free to send to

  5. The role of a Panel Member is to listen and make legal decisions with and for infants, children and young people in Scotland. If you can show compassion, empathy, trust and are a good listener, could you join them? Applications for new Panel Members will open in early 2026.

  6. “Leave it better than you found it,” is a good motto to take with you on your next journey, near or far. If there's a tourist destination that could use such visitors, perhaps it's Hawaii. A year after the devastating Maui fires, the need to reshape how visitors experience the islands has become more apparent. Fodors.com writer Tykesha Burton took a trip there and came back with these tips for practicing “regenerative travel.”

  7. Speed mentoring on campus for HS & MS students, I like this sort of thing, and a beautiful day...
    (Although I don't know why they put so much text on my card. 😜. )
