We're really good at roasting coffee but our business is meant to be about more than that. In 2025 we'll give up 4% of all our revenue. 1% to staff on top of salary/bonus. 3% to good causes.

Our model shows what's accepted as necessary for globocorps to survive is nonsense

I don't think enough people talk about how great BBC Bitesize is. Secondary school textbooks are now vanishingly rare and Bitesize content is (a) not in a terrible app, (b) engaging and interesting and easy to understand, and importantly (c) FREE. A properly great digital public good.

This year we'll give:

1% of all we earn to staff on top of salary/bonus.

1% to @womensaidireland.bsky.social

1% to fund a bridge building program at co-op we buy from in Colombia.

5 x €2,500 grants to local projects.

We roast coffee very well. Business can be different.

Chris Morris' late-night radio nightmare Blue Jam literally shifted my perception when it first appeared, especially in the context of hazy post-Diana national madness. Here's the story of how it *did* first appear, and the impact that first series had.

All of our full timers are well paid, get pensions, bonuses and share in 1% of all we earn.
Part timers earn above the living wage.
We give 1% off all we earn to Women's Aid, 1% to a bridge building program in Colombia and 4 x €2500 grants to local projects. We're good at what we do. imbibe.ie/shop/

"Imagine a world in which an A.I. can analyze your reading patterns and alert you that you’re about to buy a book where there’s only a 10 percent chance you’ll get past Page 6..."

Fuck off. That's not empowerment, that's outsourcing your soul. That's outsouling.
