Canary reports: Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point promotes Christian ‘blackshirts’ in UK https://www.thecanary.co/trending/2025/10/05/turning-point-kings-army/

What's next? A lighter shirt colour and scuffles in beer serving establishments? At what point do these protesters blocking traffic and harassing citizens exercising their right to adult entertainment get arrested too?

Oh no, wait. It's not about that other topic that gets peaceful protesters arrested. Carry on.

"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

"Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

"Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

"Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

"Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me"

-- Martin-Niemöller

TL; DR Evil happens when good people do nothing #fascism

"Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion.

"Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

"He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject."

John Mill

How come services for people with #ASD, #ADHD, and other mental health related conditions are so bad at providing appropriately designed communications?

It's like they don't know anything about the people they say they care about.

Maybe it is just me 🤔

Who cares what the Tories would do?

Our current Labour government are already punishing people for exercising their right to free speech and peaceful demonstrations.

They already reduced support for Mental Health, SEN and related care issues.

They want to force digital ID cards to track citizens and further curtail rights.

It sure goes well with the new powers made available to Police arresting peaceful protesters!

Welcome to Britain circa 1984 🫣

Related question: how do you make money if you don't want to make money?

How do you survive in a world that's capitalist, run by ego and greed, when every day feels like torment?

How do you break out of that mould?

Diving a little deeper into #StandardNotes and #MicroBlog to see if they are suitable for my purposes 🙂

One thing I keep coming across is that everything is requiring an account, often payment. This is not limited to those two examples but systemic.

Why can we not create solutions or services that are private by design and distributed through volunteers?

If everybody gives a tiny bit, we can achieve great things together!

Happy Friday! Just a quick reminder that you don't need to own a smartphone.

You didn't need to check this feed or social feeds in general every so often.

It's OK to be bored.

Stay positive - you can do this :-)
