Join us: 28 March, Park Lane, 12pm togetheralliance.org.uk
An image featuring a white text box overlaid on a photo of an urban street scene. The text box displays a social media post from "Together Alliance (@UKTogetherAll)" which reads: "28 March will be a turning point in history. But to make that happen, we need to show up in big numbers. We have to show that the majority rejects far-right values. Join us: 28 March, Park Lane, 12pm."

The background shows a concrete wall under a bridge or overpass, covered in graffiti and a row of black and white posters that mirror the message in the text box. The posters say "AGAINST THE FAR RIGHT" and include the date, time, and location: "28 MARCH 12PM PARK LANE, LONDON." A traffic cone is visible in the lower-left corner.

Immigrants make our communities stronger every day.
A photograph of a wrinkled white poster with repeating red text, pasted onto a rough, light-colored wall. The text in the center is emphasized and reads: "BEING AN IMMIGRANT DOES NOT MAKE YOU A CRIMINAL". This phrase is repeated multiple times on the poster, with some lines in bold red fill and others in thin red outline. Red arrows are drawn pointing to the core message.

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research. A Place of Joy.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
