@modinmetro Just riffing on the alt text ....
.. when Centre Point was first built it was an early venture (for London) into speculative building and ended up sitting empty for many years. It was targetted by squatters' movements and housing campaigners as an example of a building that should have been for people not companies.
So, somewhat ironic that many years later it did indeed get converted to apartments.
This history of the building is the reason why the largest charity in the UK working with #homeless people is called #Centrepoint.
It's time for #DuvetKnowItsChristmas the oddest online event of the year. Started by @rhodri on the bird site 13 years ago and in various online places tonight - a chance for people to share unusual festive sleeping arrangements and also raising funds for #Centrepoint the homeless charity. https://www.justgiving.com/page/duvet-xmas-23
@thatdosbox I'm up for it..have posted some links to #DuvetKnowItsChristmas articles and the #centrepoint crowdfunding page..let's do it 🎅❤️😁🛌
Well folks .. it's Christmas Eve so that means it's time for #DuvetKnowItsChristmas the oddest and most hilarious online event of the year. Started by @rhodri on the bird site 13 years ago and in various online places tonight - a chance from 8pm UK time for people to share unusual festive sleeping arrangements like airbeds in kitchens, cupboards under stairs, garages, camper van on driveways, time warp bedrooms, terrifying stuffed toys and extraordinary bedding will all likely be featured. Also raising funds for #Centrepoint the homeless charity. https://www.justgiving.com/page/duvet-xmas-23
If you have the means this is a good charity to support.

@1970sLondon For me this building is a symbol of #Capitalism extremes.
Day 23 of #ArtAdventCalendar is a recent shot, literally taken a couple of days ago. I love my city, I just wish it wasn’t filled with people when I want to take photos 😂
The poem is “Requiem for a Society” and while I haven’t put a #ContentWarning on this post as a whole, I will suggest a CW for the poem as it deals with mental health (I’ve struggled with whether to say exactly what the issue is because I don’t want to ruin the end but I don’t want to upset anyone either). Maybe send me a private toot if you’re unsure about whether you want to read it.

As always, let me know what you think, or what you’d like to see/read in the future.
