Remember when @bbcscotlandnews reported with horror:

Well, now it seems English water bills will go up at a rate of 27 - 34 % per year for the next five years.

No horror - no shaming here. Just ‘normal’ for a competitive privatised market, I guess!

I've been working on rebuilding my reading habit.

There was a period of about a year where I could not sit and read for more than a couple of minutes, due to fatigue. I could read a blurb or a quick article, but I couldn't read anything long form. It was really frustrating. I could still write, but I had to limit that, as well.

Now, I'm spending time here and there, between tasks, and sometimes before bed (I'm often too tired when I go to bed, but sometimes I can get through a few pages or a short chapter) reading, and it's slowly getting better! I'm an avid reader, and losing that ability was very upsetting.

Now, I'm actually GETTING THROUGH my book and magazine pile. It's slow, but I'm seeing progress! It's not about counting books read in a year or whatever. It's about getting back to where I can just immerse myself in the worlds within those books and articles and about continuing to learn about the things I care about!

Neo-Nazis are congregating again in Hungary this February for a two day concert. The event is organised by a branch of a far-right group the UK suspects of “terrorist activities”. Concerts like these are an important source of revenue for far-right groups, with ticket and merchandise sales helping to fund their yearly activities.

Just a few from the archive. These are photos I took 2,5 years ago from the „Kunstmuseum Bonn". I had a few minutes and was playing around with my iPhone. Kinda surprised about the quality.

Tumblr's interface and commenting structure makes no sense.

You can:

comment on a post.
reblog it and add something to it. This creates a new copy of the post on your blog ... so if the original author makes edits they do not show up.
add hash tags, which users use for comments too for some reason
like a post (this does nothing)

It really is a nonsensical mess, but people have adapted to it and love it.

There is a lesson here. Online communities are made of people. People will adapt.

in reply to myrmepropagandist

it's a nightmare from any technical or efficiency standpoint but i find it really helps foster a more organic sort of engagement feedback when you get notifs from followers (or even like-minded randos) who like and boost the things you boost (and found your own additions worth boosting, even in (unlike bsky's or *oma/*key's quote system) the context of the ongoing conversation that preceded it)

Ao chegar do interior
Inocente, puro e besta
Fui morar em Ipanema
Ver teatro e ver cinema
Era a minha distração

Foi numa sessão das 10
Que você me apareceu
Me ofereceu pipoca, eu aceitei
E logo em troca
Eu contigo me casei

Curtiu com meu corpo
Por mais de 10 anos
E depois de tal engano
Foi você quem me deixou

Curtiu com meu corpo
Por mais de 10 anos
Foi tamanho o desengano
Que o cinema incendiou

I'd spend soooo much more time on tumblr if anything had image descriptions there. But whenever I want to repost something funny I need to write it up ... every. single. time. So, I only bother if I really like it a lot, and maybe if I'm sharing it here too.

I've posted and explained this. Those posts were popular. But tumblr just has terrible "image description culture" makes you feel like you are doing all the work.

And people still share the undescribed version. And OPs don't use it.

agora, não é curioso q a maioria dos brasileiros q são afetados pelas políticas de extrema direita são os que apoiam os líderes de extrema direita?

a gente viu isso no governo passado.

agora acabei de ver q as igrejas evangélicas brasileiras nos EUA estão esvaziadas por causa da política do Trump.

eles são apoiadores do Trump. (os evangélicos)

eu não sou como meus colegas de outras esquerdas q não acreditam nas "eleições burguesas" (é meu lado mais petista eu acho).

eu realmente não consigo entender a pessoa q vai lá e vota literalmente pra alguém q está claramente dizendo q vai destruí-la.

pq enquanto existem eleições vc pode tentar votar nem que seja no "menos pior"?

quase todo mundo pode. (não é a toa q o bozo botou a PRF pra fisicamente impedir eleitores de chegarem às urnas)

(eu sei q as pessoas fazem isso pq elas não acham q elas mesmas vão se fuder. mas pq as pessoas acham isso?)

eu sou petista (literalmente filiada) mas eu não votei na Dilma no primeiro turno em 2010. pq eu nunca gostei do Temer na chapa. eu afundei o dedo no Plínio de Arruda Sampaio.

também não votei no Andrade no primeiro turno de 2018. eu afundei o dedo no Boulos e ainda fiz um carinho na fotinha da Sônia Guajajara.

minhas vereadoras, deputadas estaduais e federais são todas do PSOL

então assim, se a maioria quiser ir mais pra esquerda eu vou junto. mas a maioria tem que querer ir.

in reply to Lori

pergunta honesta, você acha que seria possível algum dia as alas mais a esquerda do PT tentarem disputar o partido por dentro, pra levar mais pra esquerda? eu pergunto por causa de coisas que já aconteceram em outros partidos, tipo o pcb em vários momentos da história, quando tentaram liquidar o partido por dentro por exemplo, ou as tentativas menos vitoriosas de recuperar o ptb das mãos do Roberto Jeferson pelo movimento trabalhista de esquerda
in reply to Zé Andarilho

@Ze_Andarilho não sei. eu não desfiliei ainda acho q por esperança nisso. eu acho a Macaé Evaristo um grande nome pra liderar o PT aqui e vejo q o PT nacional tbm acha. o PT também anda trazendo umas lideranças q despontaram pelo PSOL. a Andreia de Jesus, por exemplo. eu votei nela pelo PSOL e na campanha seguinte ela foi eleita pelo PT. então eu acho q há vontade do partido nisso. tomara q tenha êxito.

Oi gente,

No finado Instagram tinha uma hashtag que eu gostava muito chamada Me Made May onde pessoas que costuram, tricotam e crochetam postavam fotos usando as roupas que fizeram para si próprias durante todo o mês de maio.

Queria muito algo assim em português, alguém teria sugestões de mês e nome para a hashtag?

Tal vez seré la única en tener un aparato como este en esta época actual...

El mío funciona como si estuviera recién comprado, suena excelente y tiene capacidad para guardar bastantes canciones. Me encanta su practicidad por el pequeño tamaño, cabe en cualquier bolsillo.

Fue comprado en 2011 y aún lo uso a diario. Lo llevo en mi bolso en una pequeña lata de chocolates para conservarlo bien 😅
