I see the buy-your-own tick is going well.

The aim here, of course, is to provide THE authoritative record of Brexit (the mess we're in, how we got here, how we get out of the mess) and make sure we don't miss anything that needs to be on that record.

We want everything that politicians said that should not be forgotten.

We also want to make sure we don't leave any area of impact forgotten (rare disease networks, Euratom, the lot) - so if you know of anything important, but likely to be missed - do email us about it.

So what kind of case studies and data do we want?

With case studies, examples of Brexit impact (can be positive or negative) -- and we will cluster those by sector/topic.

For "data links" - any charts, graphs, graphics or databases showing the impact of Brexit. Feel free to send social media links (incl Twitter). Again, we'll sort them into a database/list.

Also, any soc media links to video content of politicians saying important or daft things about Brexit - for the historical record.

#ICYMI Last month, Helen Wilson wrote about the experience of Black voters in 18th- and 19th-century Britain. In this blog 👇 Helen reflects on the significant barriers that Black voters faced, and how they engaged in voting.

@ParkinJim quite the shocking account Jim!
There are arguably better and cheaper cars like X-peng and BYD. When they might make it to the UK in significant numbers though?

National Park budget cuts: Utterly shameful and a direct result of 12 years of Tory mismanagement. So sorry for the pain this will cause the lovely people at #Exmoor #exmoornationalpark #GTTO https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-63558629

Well here I am!

Next boss who voted for Brexit who now can’t get enough workers.

“I think in respect of immigration, it’s definitely not the Brexit that I wanted, or indeed, many of people who voted Brexit, but more importantly, the vast majority of the country,” he said.

Lol

If I understand correctly, the main thing 'reblogging' (not retooting, sorry!) does, is ensure that people not on the instance that the toot was made, get to see it. In that sense, its a great idea to retoot (argh, reblog) freely.

BBC News: We need more immigrant workers, says Next boss BBC News - We need more immigrant workers, says Next boss.

More Brexiters against Brexit. It's never the right type of Brexit.

“ Tesla’s stock price fell another 7% today after news that Elon Musk’s sold $4 bill more of it.” Now⬇️ 22% since the day he took over Twitter, so Tesla's market value has dropped by $160 bill. “Its shareholders probably aren’t happy about his bird app adventure. Tesla's stock price how now fallen 46% since Elon Musk's bid to buy Twitter became public on April 14”

Reducing Tesla's market value by almost half a trillion dollars.😳

@ParkinJim hi Jim - that s is a good tool for finding your Twitter followers/followees - as long as they have their Mastodon handle in their Bio

I think we all need to get used to #reblogging more than favouriting posts here.

Twitter folks (me) are too used to an algorithm pushing posts out to others with "likes"

Remember, a favourite won't get a post out there, only reblogging stuff will! Reblog, reblog, REBLOG!
