Fellow enthusiasts! As if their monopoly wasn't bad enough, I'm growing increasingly tired of the poor service and increasing postage from Forbidden Planet. Does anyone have any recommendations for UK-based online shops for by any chance? I know there was Place in Space and stuff. I'm sure there are several I'm totally unaware of!

In the last 72 hours I've had two fellow Wobblies respond to my suggestion that our IWW branch have a Mastodon account by announcing that they have Bluesky invites. The Fediverse is as close to anarchism as you can get; Bluesky, meanwhile, is the next Twitter. So what the fuck is going on? Is this a cult or something? "Mastodon? No! Come and drink the Cool-Aid! We can get you in!" Thanks but I'd rather use a forum, on dial-up, than sign up for and use that shit.

MediaActivist,

@sidereal Thank you for that! I was beginning to wonder if they were sent to test my reality or something!

MediaActivist,

And now just got a bulletin from Crimethinc proudly declaring "We're on Mastodon, Bluesky, and Telegram" haha fucking hell are we doomed or what?

MediaActivist, (edited )

@jindra Thanks for this! And in fact, I've always felt like I'd love to get involved with the @fedizine folks - they seem like my kind of crowd!

MediaActivist,

@Air_Quotes_Comedian The bulletin? That bulletin I referenced was by email, I should have clarified, sorry!

MediaActivist,

@skuppr That's cool! And thanks for making me aware of the racism shit - I had no idea!

A friendly reminder on posting images: or else no boost. Sorry, I don't make the rules! Well, okay, this one is my rule.

MediaActivist,

@noondlyt @Runyan50 Me? Nah, I don't tend to follow ignorant ableist pricks. Especially if they annoy Lauren! That's another rule haha!

MediaActivist,

@NorCal_Lynne Same here!

Any recommendations for a good cheap/free and easy alternative to DocuSign type stuff? In this case specifically for image/audio releases. Thanks!

MediaActivist,

@dentangle Thank you. Appreciate the help so much! I should have said, I was more thinking of a simple web page that enables me to create a form that someone could sign at their end, with no upload needed. (So probably DocuSign was a bad example, haha, sorry!)

MediaActivist,

@scott Thanks, I tried it and love it!

MediaActivist,

@scott Also, amazing header image. Was there ever actually a They Live video game?!

MediaActivist,

@scott Yes! Because I wish too!

One teacher actually showed this to her class! In this vlog I recorded and shared on the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center, I looked at what seems to be a grotesque "human exchange rate" on life for American exceptionalism, imperialism, and racism: https://kolektiva.media/w/4ZzZnKsBSD9xFUQK1YxKMv

UK drops 'spy clause' for scanning encrypted chat, admits it's not 'feasible' - but don't celebrate yet ... it has simply kicked the online safety can down the road, Westminster style https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2023/09/07/uk_government_clause_online_safety_bill/
