Painted nails chipped and dirty
Form a fist with skinned knuckles
Caught between redevelopments
Our city rendered unrecognisable
A watching eye on every corner
A cop in every phone
Unrecognisable regeneration
No space to feel alone

If one day we could tear it down
Every office block a home
Destroy every shopping centre
Every police station closed
Repurpose, redistribute
A seedling in sunlight grows
Rewild, regrow together
No need to feel alone

HELL YES, I'M LGBT

Lets
Go
Bring down
The capitalist system

Our solidarity kitchen is delivering over 100 meals a day all around the city.

Looking to scale up to hundreds of meals soon. Perhaps using the CoopCycle open source delivery platform.

#MutualAid works folks. Only we can help each other.

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show.

If there was ever was a cry for empathy and love for each other. This is it!

Damn can we make this our international anthem. Surely one of the best songs ever.

I'm having problems on my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop with network-manger crashing a lot.

The WiFi interface then goes down and I can have to restart network-manager by running `sudo systemctl restart network-manager`.

Do anyone have any clues on how to troubleshoot? It's one of those that is annoying but not work stopping with the one command to recover.

It's quite an old install that has been updated through releases so it's a bit fucked up.

Also see how the media and state blame working class people for shortages or not following social distancing.

The real issues raised in this crisis they don't want people to talk about:

"Just in time" delivery supply chains are terrible and fragile

The effects of austerity politics has destroyed public state institutions in innumerable and wide reaching ways.

A good majority of people in the UK, live in a state of precarious poverty and there are no protections for them in the areas of housing, work and care.

Also, see how the NHS volunteer service (500,000 sign-ups in first day of launch) has simply not done anything yet as far as I can tell. The promised food and prescription deliveries are in fact being done by third sector orgs, mutual aid collectives and council funded voluntary orgs. They have to make it seem as if they are doing something.

Be very wary of stories being fed to the media right now. There is SO much propaganda being spread to make everything look more positive.

For example, the Nightingale hospitals are not even really for treating patients with COVID-19. They are just extra beds for less serious ICU patients.

They're necessary of course but look how they've been spun as some sort of heroic achievement of the state to "fight" the virus when I suspect they will be understaffed with a lack of technical expertise which will probably cost lives.

Kind of horrendous but ofc they were doing this already.

New CocoRosie slaps!

Anyone making any DIY hand moisturisers?

My hands are real bad and "scaly" because of washing with anti-bac soap so much.

We are moving to a more eco antibac soap asap.

I've currently been using raw Shea butter but I also have access to tea tree oil and a small amount of coconut oil.
