Thanks btw to everyone who came out tonight, some lovely convos this evening! 💚
ændra.In case you needed another reason to go to @atproto.london events — Newspeak House is around the corner from the best damn Detroit-style pizzeria in London (and they do single slices)
TONIGHT! Still room if you want to come along! We might get a bit of rain but the terrace has big canopies on it so we should be fine even if so. See y'all there! 💚
ATProto London • Bluesky social events in London, UKWe'll be back at Newspeak House's beautiful covered terrace on 30 July for our second annual summer drinks social. No talks or presentations, just lovely drinks and chats with people in the community. RSVP here! luma.com/42emvbsy
TOMORROW! Super chill socialising on the terrace, should be nice!

An extremely rare opportunity to do a few months of contract work with my team; feel free to DM me if you have any questions!
Graphics journalist, Visual and Data desk ( Contractor)Londonjob-boards.eu.greenhouse.ioAs expected, literally nobody in our national press has written about this beyond the Indy (plus the aforementioned garbage BBC reporting from yesterday) If you ever want to understand why I've become so hyper-critical of the industry I work in, the media blackout around trans voices is a big part.
ændra.And that's the whole damn problem. We can have 150k people marching in 30°C weather and maybe The Indy and Evening Standard will say anything. We'll get more coverage in *foreign media* than our own. That's absolutely criminal, and it's a big part of why our rights are in decline: we have no voice.
Anyway I'm setting up a resource for poly people in London to find HMO properties to rent because FML lol DM if you want beta access once it's ready
ændra.Tried to get Fable to scrape a council's HMO register and it downgraded me to Opus 🥲 womp womp too much elite h4xx0ring going on here
Many thanks to @nrempel.com who asked on Twitter if anyone wanted an invite code and just gave me, a random follower, one despite people selling them for like $200 on eBay at the time
Jake_VigTomorrow is "Shoutout the Person Who Gave You a Bluesky Invite Code" Day. It was a cool time for cool people to drag other cool people here.
