On the day the UK parliament voted to proscribe the citizen peaceful direct action group Palestine Action as supposedly terrorist, Channel 4 showed the searing Basement Films documentary "Gaza doctors under attack". It showed the actions of the Israeli terrorist State in destroying Gaza's healthcare system, murdering civilians of all kinds and targeting health workers some of whom have died following torture. Sprinkled throughout were the repetitive lies of the occupation.
👋 Hello! I’m Łukasz. Thirty-something, living in Warsaw, Poland. On fedi since 2021 or so. Right now, I'm merging my two accounts into one and giving this profile a fresh new start.
I live a few parallel lives.
Most of the time I’m a web developer. I work with TypeScript, React and all that jazz. But I still enjoy static site generators and good ol’ HTML/CSS.
In another life, I’m a documentary photographer and photojournalist. I’m interested in activism, art and culture, politics, and pretty much anything interesting happening on city streets. A big part of my photography journey involves documenting protests and demonstrations in Poland, especially those related to human rights and social issues. I’m also drawn to street art, particularly when it carries strong messages.
I occasionally blog and translate. Many years ago I wrote two books about WordPress. However, these days I’m more likely to go outside and touch grass than spend even more time in front of a screen.
Outside of that, expect me to post about mental health and politics. I promise to use CWs when appropriate.
I post in both English and Polish, depending on the topic.
Aaaand that’s it. Nice to meet you! ☺️

The Serial Port’s new video on IRC is good.
I’d been on IRC of some sort, nearly constantly from ~1992 to 2024, and I learned some things from this documentary.
For example, I knew EFNet was Eris-Free net, but I didn’t know that Eris was a rogue server at Berkeley. Makes sense in hindsight. Always thought it was free as in freedom, not free as in exclusive.

#ListeningClub This song is forever associated with Ken Burns’ Vietnam documentary.
"He was arrested by Israeli police for questioning, but was later released on house arrest while an investigation continued."
Unfassbar.
"Basel Adra, the Palestinian co-director of the No Other Land documentary, wrote. “He was standing in front of the community centre in his village when a settler fired a bullet that pierced his chest and took his life. This is how Israel erases us – one life at a time.”"
With all the books unpacked, I finally got to read through Kirsty Mackay's "The Magic Money Tree" about the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and poverty in the UK, and loved the prints that came with it.
As always, she does a great job in combining documentary photography, scrapbooking and relevant texts (e.g. from parliamentary debates). Well worth your time if you can get your hands on it!

Die Wahl einer investigativen Dokumentation als Format irritiert, stellt harte Fragen … um dann mit den Genrekonventionen zu brechen und mit einem angetackertes ‚everything is awesome‘ zu enden. Das verspielt das, was in diesem Format möglich wäre. Siehe auch

I’m trying to find the full 45-minute documentary “The Anarchist Rabbi” (2014) by Adam Kossoff.
This movie is a documentary about Rudolf Rocker, a German anarchist who worked with Jewish migrants in London’s East End, and it’s narrated by Steven Berkoff.
Here’s the movie on IMDb and similar websites:

It was such a pathetic moment in the show, along the lines of "we heard your criticism about competing in a country that criminalises gay people... so we incorporated rainbow colours into our shirts". Yet it's somehow sadder even that was too much.

All four of them were (are) a force of nature in their domain. Playing together as a band they came over you like a huge wave
