Kriss @krissf.bsky.social · 08/09/2026But why should the public purse reward the blatant exploitation of the utilities that were taken into private hands at a huge cost to the public in the first place?

Kriss @krissf.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Beautiful place. Very much a city where people live, above being a tourist town. It feels very home-y. There's a great bus service to the coast, if you want to go to San Sebastian to try the food. We stayed in a good hostel. The airport is right on the edge of town too. I really liked it there. 210
Kriss @krissf.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Do you fundraise for Amnesty? If not, now is the time, since they're being targeted. Would you be willing to go bankrupt, lose everything, if someone took a case like this against you? I'm not happy about this either, but also feel, don't expect an org to risk something you wouldn't risk yourself. 100
