The Fediverse’s growing signal-to-noise problem – and who’s causing it
People nowadays are soaked in #stupidindividualism, and the important word on this is hopeless. Not hopeless because people are bad, but because we've spent decades dismantling the social structures that gave us the ability to act together. We know how to consume, react, and perform as individuals, but increasingly struggle to cooperate, organise, and build collective power. A society of isolated individuals is easy to manage and hard to change. There have been a lot of institutional prat […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-real-debate-isnt-institutions-versus-communities/

The world is facing an unprecedented housing crisis. Rising unaffordability, the expansion of informal settlements, climate-related risks, displacement and declining neighbourhood liveability are increasingly converging across regions, making access to adequate housing more difficult for billions of people. The World Cities Report 2026 provides a comprehensive assessment of these challenges, drawing on new global data and analysis to illuminate the structural forces shaping housing outcomes worldwide. At present, governments and developers alike are failing to meet the scale and severity of these challenges. Housing prices have risen sharply in recent years, with median households now having to spend on average around 11 times their annual income to purchase a typical home - a figure that is even higher in some regions. The situation is no better for the growing proportion of tenant households, with 44 per cent worldwide spending more than 30 per cent of their income on rent. These issues are compounded by the limited reach of conventional housing finance, which continues to exclude most low-income and informally employed households. Housing is far more than a roof and four walls: it plays a critical role in determining health, economic opportunity and well-being, making it central to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals. The report is both a call to action and a guide for transformation. It argues that resolving the global housing crisis requires sustained political commitment, coordinated governance, expanded financing tools and meaningful community engagement. Recognizing housing as both a human right and essential social and economic infrastructure is key to advancing more inclusive, resilient and sustainable urban futures.

Ken Burnett, einer der Altmeister des Fundraising aus GB, brachte es beim Fundraising Kongress in Berlin auf den Punkt, was NGOs unwiderstehlich macht ...
Na filmiku zobaczysz, jak w praktyce wyglądają nazywane w myśliwskim slangu „postrzałki”, czyli zwierzęta, które zostały postrzelone, ale nie zostały znalezione i „dobite”.
Miodunek został postrzelony z broni śrutowej i przez co najmniej tydzień błąkał się ze złamaną przez pocisk śrutowy kością oraz bolącymi ranami na całym ciele. Widać, że kuleje, ale nikt się nim nie zainteresował, nikt mu nie pomógł :(
