bumped into a screenwriter friend who told me loads of the london film scene are signing 10 year contracts to work on a harry potter HBO series. The mists have cleared and I now understand what is going on.
Supposedly this is a 3-4bn economy boost.

A lot of my personal political project right now is trying to re-materialise tech which has been delibarately obfuscated so we can be sold more shit faster with greater surveillance. Spotify was fascinating to break down and think about the bits that make it up. I'm happy to now be rid of it tho!
Much like Lady Macbeth, Kim has found herself sleepwalking in an enormous castle unclear how she ended up covered in blood (indirectly funding military drones). Discover how she rid herself of Spotify and got into music again, albeit with a distinct lack of witches.

i don't know who needs to hear this but if you're in a community/activist group that doesnt pay, is not fun, and you don't directly need it for survival, then you're almost certainly a source of burnout for you and your community
