My university (Aberystwyth) is having a thing at the Royal Welsh Show next Tuesday and sent me an invite.

As I'm a distance learner I thought I might pop along and meet some of the staff.

But £32 for a daily entry ticket! Wow!

Will have to think carefully about that

Should not-for-profits use Facebook, Google, etc. Or are there better alternatives for social good organisations?

I spoke with @nonprofits recently about this, the fediverse, small web, and more.

My partner and I are supposed to move to Ireland, from the USA, in a month. Still haven't found any housing. Gah!

Anyone know anyone who may be able to help us out? We're both artists/academics, and my partner has a job already at UCD in Dublin. We just need a place to land, even if its temporary. House sitting, apartment, house rental, private rooms, we're open to anything within 1 hour commute to Dublin via public transit.

If you know anyone who could help we would greatly appreciate it! We're almost in despair-mode 😅

I don't have a lot of followers on here, but feel free to boost this post if you're comfortable doing that!

#BorisJohnson’s #resignation speech: what he said, and what he meant | Boris Johnson | The Guardian

Be very wary of this charlatan. Until he’s out of Downing Street, he can do immeasurable damage to the country.

How will #BorisJohnson’s handling of the #Covid-19 crisis be remembered? | #Coronavirus | The Guardian

For anyone who thinks that Johnson’s handling of the pandemic was anything but catastrophic, including corruption, nepotism an tens of thousand of unnecessary deaths.

That’s one evil clown off the list, then. Sadly, it’s a long list.

Of course; why would you have stopped wearing them?

Johnson is toast. Don’t let the door hit you on the arse on your way out, Boris.

In the #UK #Government, it’s easier to see who remains in office rather than list all those who have decided to resign.

#Politics #Tories #Meltdown #BorisJohnson

It seems as the #UK #Cabinet is about to administer the coup de grâce on the beleaguered #PrimeMinister, #BorisJohnson.

Good riddance, I say.
