"The Power Within" is more than just our first print edition – it is a permanent record of Ukrainian resilience three years into Russia's full-scale invasion.

Concessions being made on the UC & PIP Bill is not enough because disabled people will still become poorer.

The government should withdraw the Bill, work with disability organisations & other charities to come up with a welfare system that looks after people.

A black and white illustrated book cover. Style is a revolutionary poster depicting three diverse people raising their fists; a woman of color is raising her phone. Backdrop is a cityscape and circuit boards. Text reads: Mini Zine Digital Revolutionary by Violet Blue Resist Defy Surveillance Gear Up

Excerpt from the mini zine. The text won't all fit in here. It's the "phone prep" page with the main bulleted list reading: Going to any event means you'll be under surveillance. You might get your picture taken and shared, you might be in a video, and you'll certainly be under phone surveillance. Smartphones leak your information and leave a trail of your information by design. Secure your device Attach a wrist strap Sign out of apps you're not using Delete everything you can Download local maps Set up "find my phone" Use Airplane Mode when idle

New: Digital Revolutionary Mini Zine Vol 1! Secure your phone (or lock it remotely), move in crowds, take pics under stress, and more.

Turned my log in with about three hours to go once I'd hit 30 contacts. Not exactly a mountain compared to some of the four-figure contest stations I was working, but gives me a target for next time. #hamradio #cqwpx

I've been having fun dipping in and out of the CQ WPX contest today. First time in a HF contest and I've not done a lot of HF voice, so it's been a fun experience. Still get that “Wow, they actually heard me!” feeling when a station calls back #hamradio #cqwx

Not a customer, but they usually get mentioned when this question comes up. I gather a lot of ex-bytemark customers ended up there.

After Censorship, Santa Rosa Students Write Their Own Play — and Take the Gold | KQED A state festival awarded top honors to ‘REDACTED,’ which ruthlessly lampooned district officials.
