- In 1982, inspired by the work of MO the National Lesbian and Gay survey began, it sought to capture what everyday life was like for queer people living in the UK. For our latest open call we're continuing the work of NLGS and asking what does it mean to be queer every day? #lgbtqhistory

It is always the same process: *Talk of belt-tightening *Incidental savings (e.g. printing, refreshments) *Travel budgets cut *Promotion freeze (1/4)
- Reposted by Marianna DudleyI had missed this in the FT from @marietjeschaake.bsky.social, on digital sovereignty, the European digital stack, dependence on US tech—and the example of Solvinity, the cloud company that hosts all Dutch citizens’ digital IDs, acquired by US company Kyndryl last November.
- Tech sovereignty is an inherent right of democratic states, not a subscription model provided at the mercy of foreign entities. Decisions about true value of sovereignty will determine whether countries retain meaningful autonomy or become clients of foreign imperialism. www.ft.com/content/8fc2...

- Nice exhibition by Mills Archive about Karl Wood, who set out to make 'windmill paintings' from 1920s-50s. Got excited it might be the machines themselves painting but alas, it was Karl. If any artists & engineers wanted to get together to explore what kind of art a wind turbine might make, lmk!

Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.
