UBI: meh

what about universal basic services? UBS. Everyone gets everything they need without having to buy it. Housing, food, water, energy, transportation, education, health care, child care, reproductive care, elder care.

Why bother bringing money into it anyway? Skip it. Give people what they need to survive.

PSA:

Got somewhere to build where the cops of the world won't hassle you, but can't afford to build traditionally?

Look into earthbag construction! It's a wonderfully #solarpunk way of building things, since you can make extensive use of salvaged and found elements for both structural and decorative purposes, and there's all sorts of building plans available to peruse that are compatible with earthbag construction methods - these are just the start!

So im looking to write up a short guide for people wanting to live a more solarpunk life whilst living in city apartments (so very limited access to garden/green spaces)

I'd really appreciate ideas or things people have already done.

And I'm trying to avoid "buy an x" recommendations

If you are a non-UK EU citizen in this shit country, you must file for settled status. https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families You guys certainly know this already, but almost two million migrants who are eligible to file have not yet done so.

If you are one of these persons, this shitty government will kick you out on 1 November. If you want to stay past then, it's in your best interest to file rather than wait and hope we're not going to fuck everything up.

Are you in Edinburgh tomorrow?

Highly recommend if any of you plan on going to a protest that you read the 'Demonstrations and Law Enforcement' guide, within libcom's 'Organise' compilation.
