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

From volunteering to the WI, we have lost so many ways to meet our neighbours. Making that easier can only be good for society

Fred Hollows built something remarkable but its future is under threat
By Catherine James and Rachel Kelly

Sixty years after Fred Hollows ventured into the outback to save the sight of thousands, a devoted team of specialists fears the life-changing work he started might not survive if governments cannot see past a funding blind spot.

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

I have been #laidoff twice in my career. I've also quit several jobs without having any prospects for alternative income.

I've never been afraid to move on into the future.

The first time I was laid off was 1980. I had been on the job for 6 weeks, was doing very well according to everyone working with me, and then one day my boss came in and asked me to attend an unscheduled meeting in the conference room. Almost everyone in the office was there and we were all laid off by the corporate office.

That was, of course, at the height of the 1980 recession (it doesn't have a "cool" name like Great Recession or Pandemic Recession).

10 years later after I had left another job I came down with severe pneumonia. Couldn't work or look for a job for months. When I was able to get up and around, my mother suggested I do some #volunteer work.

So I called #UnitedWay and asked if they could refer me to some organization that needed help.

I spent that summer tutoring kids at a local school. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

If you have lost your job and don't know what to do, but you've got a roof over your head and food to eat, try #volunteering for a while. It will help you appreciate your own self-worth and may inspire you to try something new.

Don't just sit at home and wonder what you can do with your life. You can always do something meaningful.

My friend, Lyrica & her personal stamp relief printed tote bag. She rode her bicycle to orchard to meet us for this morning's fun arts & crafts workshop in the orchard.

Linocut stamped bag I made at printmaking workshop in the morning. It was lots of fun creating usable art in the orchard.
I stayed for the volunteers work party after. River, #WellandCommunityOrchard coordinator, gave me a lift home.

Will update more, after I get some food & can rest a little.

“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.”

"Non c'è niente di nobile ad essere superiore a qualcun altro, la vera nobiltà consiste nell'essere superiore a chi eravamo ieri"

Questa frase la disse #hemingway , ma l'ho imparata nella vita grazie al volontariato #cattolico nello Ordine di Malte .
