Tried Kava for the first time this evening. Chilling at Golden Hour in Oly.
Ten years ago a group of us met in an Arcadia coffee shop to talk about literature and theology, perhaps after the manner of the Oxford Inklings. We decided to meet once a month, and did so until Covid put an end to such gatherings, and here is a record of our first meeting.
Two of the founding members, David Levey, of the English Department at Unisa, and Tony MacGregor, have since died (though not of Covid), so we haven't been able to revive it. It was an example of a "third space" gathering (the first two "spaces" being home and work).
This last six months I have so, so enjoyed being able to take the train to a movie theater in downtown KC. The theater is right at the train stop, so it's like getting to be chauffered.
I got an email that it was being closed this weekend literally as I was listening to a video about the disappearance of third spaces yesterday.
I hate the billionaires and how they've fucking killed everything good in this country.
Ireland’s nightlife is fading and corporate greed and late stage capitalism is to blame

@joan_de_art makes great solarpunk art. You've likely seen one of these floating around, but I found the source if one wanted to know. Anyways, these do a good job of introducing solarpunk ideals and capturing the spirit of solarpunk design.

Btw, I don't want to but I'm gonna ask for some money #mutualaid #LeftistSpaces #Anarchy #ThirdSpaces #electricity #utilities
So my birthday is in January, which I usually don't tout much about because it's actually not a rather positive date for me.
The leftist space that I take care of together with others is now facing a payment of 350€ for electricity, since the space got used more in 2025 compared to 2024. If I ever taught you sth which you appreciate or I've been there for you in some way and you'd like to say thanks, it would be great if you chip in some money:)
The space is an anarcho leftist space which is used by intersectional feminist, migrant justice, climate justice and other groups.
If that vibes with you, here is more info and how to chip in some money:
🐶 Joy, Food, and Gratitude
1. New Neighbour: Pure joy ran into me today! Met Biscuit 🐩 and her human, my new neighbours.
2. OMAD & Nourishment: Fueled up with homemade okra, roasted shrimp, green peas for dinner, plus a delicious lentil/split pea soup mix (thanks, BFF! 🎁). It was part of a 3-pack ready-to-make soup xmas gift I received!
3. Body Electric : TENS massage erased yesterday's knot! Shoulders and back are clear. Ready for cupping therapy tomorrow. Working on getting my hips and spine back to perfect alignment. 🧘♀️
My favourite gift isn't the pile of unopened presents waiting for New Year's Day; it's always pure Presence. Pictured here are #FediCollective folx who joined me today! Most stayed for 2 hours, the rest stayed for 3 chatting about dev, design, startups, marketing, the Open Web and what we are grateful for 💚
finally added my ALOHA Way / Philosophy on the #FediCollective site today :)
