I left Reddit much too late. I guess some habits can be hard to break.

My main account is here. For now, I am also using [email protected] for some local news.

Btw I’m a non-binary trans person [they/she/he].

  • I suppose if you have some bureaucratic ties with an EU country, Ireland would be easier to go to. Or if you want easy access to other european countries in the long term. To my knowledge finding a place to stay there is very hard as well as expensive, especially in Dublin. I don’t really know how the squatting scene is but I guess you would need to know at least one local for this sort of info. Few years back, you find a job online (with a short contract usually), and accommodation would be provided, I don’t mean free. Currently, I’m not sure.










  • as long as evidentiary screenshots are good to go

    Interesting point and the way you put it, kinda helps me frame an answer. For me, the keyword you used was evidentiary

    Practically, I can think of a couple of reasons for now (there could be more!) to use a screenshot, let’s say from twitter.

    • As evidence of what a deleted tweet was saying. I have the impression that due to how things are there nowadays, we are far from that sort of discourse.

    • Or as a reference to an actual tweet. In this case - imo - the screenshot is not necessarily enough as evidence, so a link is needed like we see in some articles. I suppose it also depends very much on the community itself. For example a white people twitter community is very different from one that is related to ocean conservation & tidalpunk, like this one.

    For now, that’s more or less what I have in mind, and I’m open to discussion for sure.

    The Forever Pollution Project - Journalists tracking PFAS across Europe

    In January 2025, the Forever Lobbying Project exposes the lobbying and disinformation campaign orchestrated by the chemical and plastic lobbies to prevent the ban of these “forever chemicals” in the European Union. Fighting to keep their “chemical business as usual” with misleading, scaremongering arguments, polluting industries are shifting the burden of environmental contamination onto society, threatening the economic stability of European nations.

    Working with 18 experts, the project calculated the cost of decontaminating Europe if nothing is done to combat PFAS emissions: the figure is more than €100 billion per year – and a staggering €2 trillion over twenty years.
