World Basement ClassicI did a write up of #GothsOnAField 2025 over on #Dreamwidth at https://diffrentcolours.dreamwidth.org/974105.html (cw alcohol)
@girlonthenet One of the things I never knew I needed at a music festival until #GothsOnAField this weekend... replacing the standard wristband with a shock collar with built-in throat mic which gets activated when you're near a band playing.
The mighty #Attrition were my highlight of #GothsOnAField for me. Amazing music and vocals. Martin sounds like he's smoked 40 cigarettes, each of which has smoked 40 cigarettes itself first.
I should be packed and on my way to #GothsOnAField right now, but my brain wouldn't let me go until I wrote some code.
This is the start of a piece of work to demonstrate visually the value of preferential voting systems such as #AV over #FPTP. There will be a companion piece to demonstrate the value of #PR systems.

The long term goal is an actual grassroots movement for #VotingReform in the UK, separate from political parties.
But for now I've written enough that I can go hang out in a barn and watch #Goth #LiveMusic for a weekend.
Overindulged last night at #GothsOnAField and spent much of today feeling terrible and very sorry for myself.
I've rallied now and am watching Holy Braille in the barn, following an excellent set from Palindrones.
At #GothsOnAField. Lovely to hang out with friends, but the lack of multi-Gigabit Internet connectivity, 16A feeds to the tent, and orphan source incidents is a little disorienting #EMFCamp
