Best comment ever on the #UK Online Safety Act from a user on Discord about forums and such shutting down:
"i can’t imagine the fallout will be that bad. it’s not like united kingdom is known for embracing irresponsible policies that cause irreparable harm to its well being"

The incredible (and often overlooked) mountain landscape of the Isle of Harris, Scotland. This place is rugged and unvisited, partly because the beaches of the island steal away attention and partly because of its unforgiving character. Many of these areas are fairly unexplored in terms of photography and I'm excited to spend a bit more time doing just that over the coming years.

Twas a week ago exactly that we discovered our instance will be shut down due to a lack of funds. The activism instance has been operating for years and helping activists.
Please help your fellow activists if you can, especially, if you live in the #UK or Europe and can donate more anonymously.
Ten dollars of $250 raised so far.
Apparently, the #DailyMail has just launched "Woke Watch", where red faced pillocks send in angry e-mails, complaining about transgender asylum seekers giving their house prices pronoun cancer, or something.
Anyway, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should one e-mail wokewatch@dailymail.co.uk to #Troll, #Shitpost or just plain take the piss. No, that would be WRONG. Oh, for shame!
Woke up super early and hopped on a train from London to Kent, thought I should try Gravesend market for about 200 of my handmade jewellery. It's very empty and I'm yet to make enough to cover the cost of travel here.. anyone in Kent? Anyone who knows anyone in Kent? Come say hi ❤️

TIL that the BBC and Acorn, back in the day, created "The Domesday Project" a multimedia commemoration of the publication of the original "Domesday Book".
A bunch of folks are working to preserve it and bring it forward to modern hardware on the Internet Archive: https://www.domesday86.com/
Yet another great group of folks fighting to preserve digital culture. LOVE THIS! 😀
