Good on #FossilFuel Free #London for holding a protest at the National Portrait Gallery, which reopened in June with #McCartney's exhibition & the sponsorship of the #BankofAmerica. Last year, the gallery had dropped their 30-year sponsorship with #BP after intense #climate campaigning. However Bank of America has an appalling #emissions record, as the 4th-largest global investor in fossil fuels ($232bn between 2016-21). No more brand laundering through #art #patronage!

#Vetternwirtschaft und #Patronage zwischen #Politik und #Behörden will niemand.
Doch dort, wo materielle Ressourcen knapp sind, können enge Beziehungen zwischen #Verwaltung und Politik auch nützlich sein. So zumindest diese #Studie: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ajps.12758

Has anybody tried Ampled (alternative to Patreon) yet? Are #musicians here using it? What is it like? Is the project still alive?

In 2014 Iggy Pop has given a lecture for the #BBC about free music in a #capitalist #society. He talks about #royalties, #money, #values, #patronage, #labels, #profit, #punk, #poverty and #freedom. https://invidious.namazso.eu/watch?v=i2Id5EflQ1M&t=458

If you only have short time, I'd recommend the last 10 minutes =)

#Clientele and #patronage politics also worked differently: While at #court career opportunities were a central means to build relationships, in non-permanent structures this did not work. It seems that here monetary #gifts were much more important.
The triad of diplomatic tasks – representing / reporting / negotiating – is well known. However, comparing permanent and non-permanent #emdiplomacy the centre of focus shifts. (4/x)

Unelected Premier Danielle Smith of #Alberta is paying a $250,000 salary to Conservative crony Preston Manning to run a biased COVID panel. Calgary Herald says this is all about Smith’s conviction that human rights were severely violated by vaccination and other orders during the pandemic. Recently, reports the Herald, the Premier urged prosecutors to consider dropping cases against anti-vaxxers. She then sheepishly denied she talked to any specific prosecutors. #Alberta #patronage

Très chère personne qui sachent coudre, j'ai besoin d'aide. J'ai cousu ce pantalon qui était un essai, maintenant j'aimerais bien en faire un beau en laine mais vous voyez le problème, c'est moche au niveau du derrière et je trouve pas comment rectifier ça. Vous pouvez m'aider?
Si le prochain modèle j'ai descendu la taille de 4cm, les "darts" descendent plus bas et sur la toile ça corrige un petit peu le problème mais ça suffit pas

@marqle @mnl Agree. I see this as an awesome #platform. I’d like to see it avoid becoming a #marketplace #littered with #advertising and #paidaccess to #eyeballs. For heaven’s sake we get deluged with that everywhere else. If that happens here I’d end my #patronage of affected servers and block, or leave entirely. There are places for that and I hope this doesn’t get #polluted with it.

Found this somewhat recent private letter ruling for how #coops should treat capital gains from assets used in the #coop's operations (such as the sale of a building) in terms of patronage.
The gist is that the patronage portion of the capital gain should be distributed on the basis of all #patronage allocated during the period that the property was owned and in operation.

Thinking that I should support https://PixelFed.org/ financially even if I don’t use it now, since I want to see it go into release. Currently it’s only getting about $700 a month compared to #Mastodon’s $42k a month!
