1/ Being a Fiscal host means we provide a legal #safespace for grassroots movements to get active without setting up their own legal entities.
We provide the ability to keep their finances tidy, receive donations, and apply for grants. We make activism accessible! 🤝💰💻

2/ Our #impact comes from speeding up the process for people to get organized and supporting them in receiving funds in a #transparent and accessible way.
We are a back-office which means our collectives can focus on their work and ideas rather than administrative details 💼 📝

This headline 👇 will be no surprise to anyone who's been following @NHSEngland's plans (and actions) for a while.

First, and possibly most significantly, is @NHSEngland officials' confirmation that its '#FederatedDataPlatform' will incorporate patients across England's #SharedCareRecords:
Why is this so important? Because #SharedCareRecords - which every new #ICS* is supposed to have - include your #GPdata, which @NHSEngland has been trying to get hold of for years (most recently last summer)...

With the news that the Government is rushing through @NHSEngland’s takeover of the statutory safe haven (@NHSDigital) with about the level of planning that went into the 'fiscal event', where exactly *are* things as the former/new Sec State starts work?
While the chaos of '#AcceleratedCitizensAccess' to #GPrecords continues to unfold:

First, beginning on page 158, are some Directions that @NHSEngland must know will be HIGHLY controversial - given they are telling @NHSDigital to use @PalantirTech's #Foundry to collect *patient level identifiable data* from hospitals...
I'll tweet as I do a read-through, but even these first two paragraphs are incoherent, e.g. "...in a way that will enable." Enable what?
And if @NHSEngland Directs NHSD to use #Palantir, NHSE is *determining the purposes and means of processing* - i.e. it is a #DataController...

Blockchain technology is redefining the gaming industry. But how does it work? We’ve got you covered. Our co-founder @Haischel created a short summary with the most important information about this hot topic. A #thread🧵. 1/7
The first successful blockchain game was @CryptoKitties, a collectible virtual pet platform launched in 2017 and developed on the #ethereum blockchain. Players can purchase, collect, breed, and sell virtual cats for money. Every cat is unique and owned by a person. 2/7
Blockchain games enable the #interoperability of players' profiles all around the world. A decentralized model lets players own their game earnings and use them across other web3-based games. 3/7

RFA was founded in 2018 to disrupt the #NewSpace industry and match the emerging demand for launch opportunities for small #satellites by providing launch services that are reliable, highly customizable, low-cost and deliver the payloads precisely to the desired orbit. 2/12
Our launch vehicle #RFAONE is a 30m high and 2m wide 3-staged rocket, launching satellites of up to 1350 kg into polar orbits/up to 450 kg into GTO. The main structural elements consist of tanks made of a special stainless steel, which becomes very tough at #cryogenic temp. 3/12

"Mich haben einige Anfragen von Eltern (fast ausschliesslich Müttern) erreicht, die um Rat bitten, weil ihre Teenager-Tochter sich als trans oder non-binary identifiziert. Ich bin weder Mutter noch Psychologin, oder sonst wer, aber hier kommt mein Rat."
"Dein Kind will sich von dir weg identifizieren, sich abnabeln, das ist ein normaler Impuls den viele Jugendliche in ihrer Entwicklung haben. Sie erdrücken, krampfhaft eure Beziehung verstärken, oder sie mit radikalem Feminismus erschlagen, wird nicht helfen."
