We're here! Your favourite Liverpool Makerspace is now on Mastodon.
We have been operating in Liverpool since 2011 providing a community-driven space to make things, whether that's digital or actual.
We offer a combination of coworking office and workshop, where anyone can use our high speed internet, laser cutters, 3D printers, and other equipment, or simply sit at a comfortable desk with a laptop and a cup of tea or coffee.

No matter how much we tweet, the majority of people living in the UK will not have heard about Nadim Zahawi, one time Chancellor of the Exchequer, not paying taxes that he should have. The man was in charge of the HMRC. What the hell are UK tv channels doing?

As a cis het woman, the way a trans person gets a Gender Recognition Certificate has no impact on my daily life or rights whatsoever. The rights conferred by a GRC have no impact on my daily life or rights. Trans people have never limited or threatened my daily life, rights or safety. Just one person's experience/opinion? Sure. That's the same as every gender critical argument. Anecdata is not evidence. Evidence shows Self ID does not cause problems for society and makes trans lives easier.
This is the Torygraph - my word.

Tell me you all saw this in the Telegraph 🧐😄
Best part: "If the first elephant in the room is that Brexit’s days are numbered, then the second is that the Conservative brand cannot possibly survive such an ignominious outcome."

Nadhim Zahawi has agreed to pay the £3,000,000 tax bill he lied about and hid from HMRC.
He should be sent to jail for fraud.
RT if you want to see him in jail.

I *despise* this notion of British people having an “instinctive defensiveness” of monarchy. It is not instinct; it is the product of heavy and constant propagandising.
RT @SpillerOfTea
We’re completely comfortable with saying to young people, “Make decisions that will affect the course of your entire professional life at (or before) the age of 16,” but not prepared to consider that they know themselves well enough to recognise their own gender?
Fuck off.
RT @SpillerOfTea
16-year-olds take important decisions all the time. In Scotland, they can get married, have babies and rent their own place.
In a few weeks, my son will be choosing the subjects that will dictate what degree course he can access and, by extension, what careers are open to him.
RT @PeterStefanovi2
With mounting evidence of catastrophic damage inflicted on the UK economy by Brexit now being reported by UK media how much longer can Sunak’s Government pretend it’s not happening?
RT @Teresa_Peckham
@BenPBradshaw @UKLabour Yes, New Labour reformed the NHS and laid the foundations for the mess it’s in now. Internal markets, PFI and outsourcing are just some of the things they either inherited and continued, or introduced themselves. Diane’s right - Starmer will continue on to full privatisation.

Bit weird how the phrase "one bad apple" is used these days. Everyone seems to ignore the second half of the aphorism.
They keep saying that this cop or politician or corporate leader is "one bad apple" as though that means the rest are all fine.
But the aphorism is "one bad apple ruins the whole barrel"
It means the opposite of the way people use it all the time now.

Why should they be dangerous to females anywhere?
The fear is from men pretending to be trans to gain access to women's spaces to harm women not from genuine trans people.
This is a far smaller problem than the danger to women everywhere from men/boys emulating Andrew Tate. https://twitter.com/williew97931391/status/1615119523987824642

@HackneyAbbott @fjfish Yes, Starmer is a Tory and he works in collusion with other Tories!
