Btw, I don't want to but I'm gonna ask for some money #mutualaid #LeftistSpaces #Anarchy #ThirdSpaces #electricity #utilities

So my birthday is in January, which I usually don't tout much about because it's actually not a rather positive date for me.
The leftist space that I take care of together with others is now facing a payment of 350€ for electricity, since the space got used more in 2025 compared to 2024. If I ever taught you sth which you appreciate or I've been there for you in some way and you'd like to say thanks, it would be great if you chip in some money:)
The space is an anarcho leftist space which is used by intersectional feminist, migrant justice, climate justice and other groups.
If that vibes with you, here is more info and how to chip in some money:

🐶 Joy, Food, and Gratitude
1. New Neighbour: Pure joy ran into me today! Met Biscuit 🐩 and her human, my new neighbours.

2. OMAD & Nourishment: Fueled up with homemade okra, roasted shrimp, green peas for dinner, plus a delicious lentil/split pea soup mix (thanks, BFF! 🎁). It was part of a 3-pack ready-to-make soup xmas gift I received!

3. Body Electric : TENS massage erased yesterday's knot! Shoulders and back are clear. Ready for cupping therapy tomorrow. Working on getting my hips and spine back to perfect alignment. 🧘‍♀️

My favourite gift isn't the pile of unopened presents waiting for New Year's Day; it's always pure Presence. Pictured here are #FediCollective folx who joined me today! Most stayed for 2 hours, the rest stayed for 3 chatting about dev, design, startups, marketing, the Open Web and what we are grateful for 💚

​The topic for today's (Dec 2, 2025) chat is Third Places (not home or work), specifically for developers and other technologists. Where do you go to interact with other developers? Why do you go there? Why do you not go?

​Inspired by the Weekly Dev Chat starting to host more in real-life (IRL) events.

Enjoying this talk from Eric (of the Location Night Cafe) at the Post Bar.

Quote:
> The alcohol industry has a monopoly on nightlife.
And when you have crowds of drunk people crashing through your city every night, you need to make it drunk-person-proof.
And if your city is drunk-person-proof you don't get to have nice things in your city.

@DecaturNature The shopping mall angle led to some legal decisions ~1980s, possibly before. I don't know if there's been any subsequent online equivalent. I can't point at anything specific (though I may be able to turn something up on request). But that's where I'd start looking.

Pruneyard v. Robbins is the canonical case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruneyard_Shopping_Center_v._Robins (SCOTUS, 1980), finding for the plaintiffs that a free-speech right did exist.

This is probably the remit of the EFF / ACLU / EPIC and similar organisations.

For the record I've long had an issue with the notion that free speech rights are only a matter of direct government action. There are a few reasons for this:

• The right to exclude speech from private property ultimately relies on government sanction for that exclusion.
• Spatial monopolies, whether of commercial, educational, recreational, or even residential spaces, trade private control (and powers and limitations) for public ones, whether or not those private concerns are for-profit or not-for-profit. E.g., what are the free-speech rights on a private school or university, or a religious institution, or a park, or a residential complex?
• Common carrier provisions were enacted in transportation, and later communications systems, specifically because those systems, though privately held, exercised so much power over commerce, travel, and communication. The idea that free speech is absolutely limited to government interactions in that context strikes me as ludicrous.

I promote #ThirdSpaces because they're good for our emotional and mental #wellbeing

But also #SocialSkills and IRL connection. It is healthy to be together with people

This starts off being about how movies need to shut up and let things happen silently on occasion, but it goes way further and deeper than that. It's got things to say about #urbanism and about the death of #ThirdSpaces in the US, and how this is impoverishing our culture.
