Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 16/10/2025It’s been #Disinfo2025 this week. I couldn’t go but always interested in this subject especially as so much cr*p gets spread about the homeless community. Latest one being the AI homeless prank going round on Luna & Sora.

Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 15/10/2025I’m asked about climate change & homelessness every now and then due to our work on homelessness & severe weather emergency protocol. This is the backdrop & why we list climate change, disinformation & wealth extraction as the focus of our campaigning. 140
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 12/10/2025The end of a long week, much to say & so many ppl have made it poss for our community to come together & mourn ppl we’ve lost. This is one of our candles on the railings @ St Martins - a kind of MoH calling card - but for me also a reminder of what it means to take space for what is most important. 161
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 10/10/2025Our first community Tuesday 2 years ago, done 100 since and the museum feels very different in some ways, familiar in others. Here’s to 100 more. 081
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Today we release the 2024 findings for the Dying Homeless Project. It’s something I work on year round with an amazing team. This year we saw a 9% increase but so much more than nos. These are human stories that never be forgotten 💔 museumofhomelessness.org/news/new-res...museumofhomelessness.orgOur investigation finds that 1611 people experiencing homelessness died in 2024 - a 9% increase on the previous year. — Museum of HomelessnessWe are devastated to share our latest research into the deaths of those who die.

Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 02/10/2025Always find this mind boggling, City Hall, the symbol of London’s governance being dismantled. Easy to do as it’s apparently owned by the Kuwaiti Sovereign Wealth fund and Greater London Authority was turfed out long ago… 000
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 01/10/2025So our vigil is next week, one of the hardest days of the year for those in our community as we gather to remember those we’ve lost museumofhomelessness.org/news/annual-...

The EHRC has long been toothless, corrupt & hollowed out and is stoking more hate and disinformation. It saddens me so much to see how much suffering this is causing & how much people are being hoodwinked by the horrific forces re-shaping put politics. 041

Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Great book this is btw, from the Philippines, to Syria, to pre-war Ukraine it shows how long our info-sphere has been contested, compromised and in many cases severed from reality. 000
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Been reading this recently. It stuns me to read this week that Jack Thorne got stopped by a headteacher saying “I want to know what more schools can do” after watching Adolescence. The affects of disinfo are so far reaching (this was published in 2020!) we need whole subjects devoted to it. 100
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 15/03/2025An honour to see this. A moment not to be forgotten ❤️❤️❤️ 011
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 15/03/2025@jessicaturtle.bsky.social gets us the same billing as Banksy & a London Indian restaurant. All equal in 10Foot’s epic upcoming Big Issue takeover. Thanks so much for the ft 💥💥 130
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 02/03/2025Been interested in noting the Zelenskyy “election mandate” stuff & been hearing it alot more. I now get why. Part of coordinated Kremlin disinfo so expect to hear it from western sympathisers more. This one is a good read for people looking ahead re Ukraine Russia euvsdisinfo.eu/the-kremlins...euvsdisinfo.euThe Kremlin's playbook for undermining post-war Ukraine - EUvsDisinfoWhile peace talks may eventually silence the guns, the Kremlin disinformation apparatus is already crafting narratives to fracture post-war Ukraine. 000
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Yes I think so, there are definitely plans for follow-up & I’m pretty sure we’ll be sharing more soon. 000
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 28/02/2025This was a very important discussion. Hope we can do more together on this. ❤️ 121
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Anyone who has read Collusion @lukeharding1968.bsky.social would not be surprised by today’s turn of events 010
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 16/02/2025On Ukraine I’m guessing it’ll be the following: 1. Peace deal designed to put Ukraine in a position where it can’t ever accept 2. Ukraine then made out to be “aggressor” by US/Russia. 3. War continues - with Ukraine to blame. 4. US uses breakdown to continue to castigate Europe/NATO 000

Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 17/01/20256 nights of shelter work was humbling and profound. Taken a while to process it all. Community SWEP is where it’s at. 230
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Agreed this disaster amnesia definitely a thing. Sometimes I mention Storm Henk to people and just get a blank stare back. 010
Reposted by Matt TurtleJessica Turtle @jessicaturtle.bsky.social · 08/01/2025We are running our first ever emergency shelter here at the museum. The joy of simply being able to say "yes of course you can come in for the night" is such a contrast to having to try for hours (and often fail) to get someone indoors via official channels. Our way should be normal 17213
Matt Turtle @mattturtle.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Yes definitely noticed that too, maybe it’s one of those things that will build over time, I also had a post joining slump, think I might be coming out of it tho. 110
