The European Left Alliance has just now launched an ECI: A European Citizen's Initiative to demand #JusticeForPalestine. It's similar to a petition, and legally binding if the goal of 1.000.000 signatures is reached. The EU has to act if we share this enough!

We demand a full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which is the cornerstone of EU-Israel bilateral trade, economic, and political cooperation.

🚩 https://eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/

We don't need words. We don't need letters of condemnation (even if it'd be nice if they ever came in the first place), we demand action. We expect real consequences for a state committing genocide!

Pots & pans up in London. Response to #wizard_bisan1’s call for collective action against Israel’s deliberate destruction of Gaza’s food system & blocking of aid.

WHO & UNICEF warn that the mass starvation in Gaza is man-made & the suffering severe. Food is our foundation; access to food a bare minimum. In Gaza, food & medical care is urgently needed now.

Please act together: write to your reps, donate, protest, disrupt. Make some noise.

Repressie van activisten is niet alleen iets dat voor komt in verre landen!

Vandaag sta ik terecht voor een banale poging om op ludieke blokkade te protesteren tegen de luchthaven van Deurne. De actie werd ontruimd nog voor ze van start was gegaan door massaal politieoptreden.

Nu worden we vervolgd voor wat eigenlijk - volgens het Europees hof voor de rechten van de mens - binnen het recht op protest valt. Pure intimidatie om anderen te ontraden zich iets in hun hoofd te halen als ze het oneens zijn met onrechtvaardig (klimaat)beleid.

We gaan principieel voor de vrijspraak.

Today, the UK Supreme Court ruled that gender equality laws do not include trans women.

Here is why this ruling is nonsensical.

It also sets a precedent.

Tomorrow, the Equality Act and similar laws may be attacked again, so that women, including cisgender women, see laws protecting them made dependent on their ability to become pregnant.

Can't trust Wikipedia, anyone can modify it.

Now:
Better check Wikipedia, they have actual humans verifying.

So... I left Evernote months ago when they hiked their pro plan subscription (like 163% !) It was bloated, and their *free* plan was crippled; that + the company had been struggling for years to find a CEO who could bring *some* kind of vision back to the app. It all flopped and they were sold to Bending Spoons.

Over the ensuing months, I was fortunate to find a replacement! An Open Source, fully encrypted, Evernote killer. And what a note taking app it has become.

A major release (v3.0) was launched officially today. 8 months of non-stop development and testing by a two-man Dev team has really brought this app center stage. These guys are hands-on with listening to user feedback on their NN Discord server; when they find time to sleep beats me (the plight of the developer).
Read about this latest journey AND all of the great new features of v3.0 that are note-taking game changers, on their blog post:

You're going to hear more about Notesnook in the weeks and months to come and it won't be coming from me. It will be from a growing userbase that can't help but share the awesomeness that Notesnook brings to notetaking.

Introducing Notesnook v3

From August 2023 to April 2024, after 8 months, 1000+ commits, and countless sleepless nights v3 is finally here — the biggest, most feature packed release in the history of Notesnook.

We had another exciting experiment in format from Lea Cooper, who borrows from LeGuin's carrier bag of theory of fiction to describe ways of holding multiple stories,forms of ambivalence, disclosure, and meaning-making all together in their study of zine archives. It takes the form of multiple zines (and tarot cards!) bagged together in a beautiful book. The riso prints here are gorgeous and the writing (and its moments of decomposition) is all really sharp.

I'll continue to post more delights from #DIYMethods23 in the coming days. In the meantime you can read and download the digital proceedings for free here: https://hcommons.org/deposits/item/hc:60003/

We also have a plaintext/screen-reader friendly version of all the zines up here: http://lowcarbonmethods.com/DIYMethods2023.html
