CPC-CG's Bernice Kuang, a research fellow in #demography at the University of #Southampton, claimed #Londoners still wanted to have an average of two #children, but that this was not feasible for many in the #capital.

She blamed a shift from #socialhousing to private #renting in inner #London, adding that "private rented accommodation is not seen as the place to start a #family".

The climate crisis reveals that our civilization has never really been organized around science, contrary to the usual Enlightenment narrative. It is organized around capital. Science is embraced when it serves the interests of capital, and is often ignored when it does not. — Jason Hickel v @jasonhickel The climate crisis reveals that our civilization has never really been organized around science, contrary to the usual Enlightenment narrative.

And for #capital, the purpose of #production is not to meet #human needs, or to achieve #social progress, but to maximize & accumulate #profit. That is the overriding objective.

Remember, #capitalism is not defined by “ #markets & #businesses & #trade”. It is a system where #production is controlled overwhelmingly by #capital: the big #banks, large #corporations, & the 1% who own the majority of investable assets.

Extreme #poverty is a condition of severe #humanitarian #crisis. It is not a natural condition, & should not exist. It occurs because, in our current #economic system, most of our production is# organized around what is most profitable to #capital, rather than what is most necessary for people.

Hello World!

I just spoke with a #US #Senator office about the #fediverse . They're asking for more information to help spread around #Capital #Hill in small bite sized easy to understand pieces. I'm obviously going to give them @elena beautiful #movie on the #fedi (with some light editing which she's agreed to).

I'll of course show them https://fediverse.info/ and https://fedi.tips/ which are great websites. I figured I'd give them examples of amazing #AP projects such as #mastodon , #pixelfed , #peertube , #bandwagon , and #bonfire ; even things like @admin .

I'd love to know from folks any EASY to understand projects that best encompass the Fediverse and explanations of it.

What are some projects you'd hand to your friends and family that would explain and display to them what we are?

I'll say this isn't going to happen over night. There's lot of questions around regulations, trust & safety, etc. But I feel it's pertinent to at least get the conversation going, especially considering the current state of disdain for big social media and the impending legislation around these things.

I'll finally state if there's anyone in this list that does NOT want to be involved with this, that's totally fine and I understand and I can exclude you from the materials I give to them.
