You (wise, fun, cool, etc): damn my favorite pdocast fun city... when are they going to release a new episode.

Us: Ha, to the wise one spoils do accrue! You'll find in your podcatcher a "surprise" from us, just for you.

I was selfish and took the milestone episode to explain why we must get off US tech, some options that are already available to us, but also why our governments need to step up.

We can’t keep allowing the US government and Silicon Valley billionaires to have so much power over us!

Hell yeah! Excited to listen ASAP

Can we call blue sky girl-boss Twitter yet?

If it's not funny now, just wait another year.

Messy, scratchy blue and purple highlights on black shapes frame a messy multicolored abstract landscape from above of mountainous terrain. The use of purple and green splotchiness looks like storm clouds.

If you were to fix shit while being a billionair, you would no longer be one.

The fix that works is not owning things that would replenish that money, because businesses are restructured to give everyone enough to live and thrive. There are no owners or CEOs.

Solidarity with the Amazon warehouse workers! ✊

I'm a glitch and zine artist that makes prints that use photobashing and pixel sorting techniques to bring out new elements to found, and taken images.

I'll be applying with a talk about how zines are the best away to create awareness for the aright to Repair movement by not mentioning it at all, and instead showing people real, practical skills to get them into supporting it

We're going to Edinburgh, Scotland for 2025!! We're so excited to bring the Open Hardware Summit across the pond and we can't wait to see all the open source work happening over there! We are also now accepting proposals, hit up 2025.oshwa.org to learn more.

You might actually really enjoy the cyberpunk, and hacker themed instances. People are really supportive of art there.

an absolute sucker for a cotton candy sky

There is just over a week to apply to the Open Hardware Summit. We're looking for interesting and unique hardware developments. We're defining both open source and hardware broadly: making and sharing hardware as an artist, researcher or business.Tag your fav UK hardware creators ! 2025.oshwa.org

hi new Bluesky people! remember that most of us are connecting over Telnet because having a PDP-11 at home is prohibitively expensive (and takes up too much space!)

reminder you can connect over at bsky.tel, have fun!

Colored, striped bands that repeat through the image stretch the text displayed through the middle of the image. The words read "The nature of your oppression is the aesthetics of our anger". A quote from the band CRASS.

Some CRASS quotes really are timeless....

TTCRIDERS STATEMENT on Plain Clothes Fare Inspectors:

"Does the #TTC really expect transit riders to hand over their credit and debit cards to strangers claiming to be fare inspectors?"

With ttc fare inspectors wearing plain clothes, I'm expecting some Team Rocket levels of shit.

You are seriously eroding public trust with this strategy.
