Yesterday Bluesky went down. @eurosky.social servers worked but we couldn't communicate as we don't have an app. Our next step is to build everything we need to operate without Bluesky. We're raising €100,000 to build a European app backend supporting 100k+ users. Let's do this fund.eurosky.tech

16 years of rights-abusive rule is over. Hungary now has a historic opportunity to restore rule of law - end decree rule, dismantle the Sovereignty Protection Office, protect media freedom, ensure free assembly, repeal anti-LGBT laws, and deliver real reforms.🇭🇺#hungary www.hrw.org/news/2026/04...

On the train back home from Warsaw right now, and two Ukrainian women across the carriage from me are absolutely delighted about the Hungarian election result. One is in tears and the other is laughing. This is what it means to get rid of the cynical, kleptocratic prick.

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap. I can’t believe it 😭

I know this is hard for Americans, but can you just give us a second to celebrate this in and of itself? For Hungary, for Europe? Not everything is about "whether this is a blueprint for the US".

I'm pretty sure Industry on HBO is the most accurate portrayal of British politics out there.

If pensions or investing have always felt confusing, political, or slightly uncomfortable, this letter is for you. Read it here: dearmoneyletters.substack.com/p/costing-th...

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

The idea that we have to suffer in social change or else we’re not “pure” is outdated and makes the work less effective, nor more. open.substack.com/pub/dearmone...

God I loved this piece. "Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards." open.substack.com/pub/jameelaj...

Lovely people, I heard the best idea ever and I have to share it. And by people I mean my women: A woman in a DearMoney workshop shared that she has a joint bank account with 4(!) friends and they put some money in every month. They use it for: Flowers Help Weekends away No questions asked Joy

Seriously, this. Parents writing me “please talk to my child about a job for them” - why not support your child to learn how to reach out? Not a good look.

Sometimes I just feel so happy I get to do so many interesting things and meet so many beautiful people. Just wrapped a DearMoney webinar and it was lovely. Just a little gratitude post.

Moral clarity is sexy. “dignity, community and justice" www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

I feel sickened by the fact that we still give more space to all the names of assholes in the Epstein files vs the girls, the children, who were raped over and over again by these thugs. We already know one committed suicide. I want to know how they are now, who is helping them find ways through.

"It’s not hopeless, even though the Trump Regime wants us to believe their agenda is inevitable. But we do need to scale our resistance and increase the pressure." Here are five things we can all do via @melissaryan.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/ctrlaltr...

The nurses are pissed

Just some birds on a pool's edge, having a break and a bath. Let's keep sharing beauty when ugliness is everywhere.

A few hours after another U.S. citizen was murdered:

“In little more than two decades, renewable energy in the South Australia grid has leapt from about 1 per cent to almost 75 per cent in net terms, and the state is within reach of achieving its goal – its legislated target – of 100 per cent green power by 2027.” www.smh.com.au/environment/...

I would love to connect with anyone working on marketing in a mindful way. We are building a small, for-purpose venture to help bring peace vs anxiety in peoples’ relationship with money. So I don’t want to shout at people, I want those who need it to find us. Who has good ideas on this?

In our work with people in our social change space, we have noticed a few trends. We have identified three Money Archetypes. Take the 3 min quiz to find out which one you likely are dear.money/money-archet... (and no, you will not have to give your email to get the result!)

What could a new social contract look like? Great recent conversation for @eurosky.social on tech, social media, democracy and politics. You know, the small stuff

What could a new social contract for the web look like — one grounded in openness, accountability, and civic trust? @alexandrageese.bsky.social, Felix Styma, @geurkink.bsky.social and @gaurivangulik.bsky.social discussed this and more in this panel. vimeo.com/1140379449?s...

This one is a little personal: I would be so grateful if you could read and share, or tell me about your relationship with money? Part of the purpose of this work is to know we are all sharing this anxiety! dearmoneyletters.substack.com/p/where-your...

In "The turtle and the pilot fish", @arturovarvelli.bsky.social and @kellyp90.bsky.social took on Giorgia Meloni's Mattei Plan and concluded that Rome and Brussels can't achieve their (investment, energy, security) goals in the "wider Mediterranean" without each other. ecfr.eu/publication/...

It suggests concrete, structural & actionable ways to address the yawning power gap & has this cracking opening line: “Food systems will not be transformed unless power is confronted - not as an abstract concept, but as concrete control over land and water, markets and labor, taste and narratives.”

One of my great sources of joy is working in our local library and seeing the regular Lego competition results. Today: Bella chose chaos.

This whole thread needs to be read by anyone in campaign work. There are huge lessons here about how to appeal to a broad audience, not just immediate followers. Also lines up with everything I wrote this morning about the need for positive, hopeful vision right now that appeals to the masses.

Gaza is now officially in IPC Phase 5, the final stage of hunger. Designated as 'catastrophe'. A further 67 of the starving were killed by IDF soldiers yesterday trying to access food. Witnesses say the victims had their hands held in the air. One day, everyone will have always been against this.
