Sims Hill Shared Harvest Public Meeting
16-06-2010 16:22
Sims Hill Shared Harvest is a members owned and led Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project. A group has been working to set this up over the past year and are now in a possition to open it to the wider community. There will be a community meeting on June 29th, 7:30m @ Hamilton House.Some of you may be aware that over the past few months work has been under way to develop plans for one of Bristol’s first Community Supported Agriculture projects (CSAs) near Frenchay.
Sims Hill Shared Harvest aims to launch a member-owned CSA which will help to reclaim Bristol’s historic (and fertile) agricultural land.
For those of you who are new to CSAs, they are a popular model of co-operative farming which builds dynamic relationships between people, the land and food. Members contribute to the running costs of the farm and receive a fair share of the harvest in return. A refreshing change to conventional supermarket shopping!
If you are interested in becoming part of a visionary new project please come to Co-Exist, Hamilton House (see map here) on 29th June form 7:30 pm for an 8 pm start. Please arrive promptly and enter via the Canteen on Stokes Croft. You will be directed upstairs to the Community Arts space where the meeting will be held. Light refreshments will be served.
It will be a great opportunity for us to present our work so far, for you to ask questions about where we are aiming for, and to find out more about what being a member of a CSA actually involves. It’s also an opportunity to celebrate our achievements and to start working together to make this happen. If you wish to come to the launch event, please rsvp by replying to the simshillsharedharvest@googlemail email so we can have an idea of the numbers we can expect. We very much look forward to seeing you there!
Please sign up to our blog at http://simshillsharedharvest.wordpress.com/ or email the project at simshillsharedharvest@googlemail.com to be added to our email list.

Iceland passes "New Media Haven" Law

Iceland has passed a law giving Iceland the world's strongestpress and whistleblower protection laws. This is a good move and assures greater press freedom - and sets a very nice example in contrast to the UK.
Lawless Culture
16-06-2010 13:34
Upon entering college people prepare themselves for the real world through self discipline, new ideas and social experimentation. Testing society's boundaries is to be expected along with learning some personal ones. At a time when students are out of sight from their parents often the only persons left to provide guidance, assistance and assurance to impressionable minds are professors.BBC distortions of Israel's Murderous assault
16-06-2010 13:33
In Yiddish it’s called Chutzpah, to have the nerve to say something outrageous, the perfect description—if what was said wasn’t so odious—by Israeli propagandists. I’m talking here about an Israeli spokeman on RT.com the other night, attempting to justify the murderous assault on the Gaza aid activists. Attack becomes “defence”, international waters become Israeli, or not as the case may be.
Actually Chutzpah doesn’t even begin to describe the venomous and hysterical rantings of the Israeli spokesman. Eventually it just got too much for me to watch.
On the other hand we have the ‘measured tones’ of your standard BBC model, allegedly impartial and objective, yet they’re both united by a common worldview.

Let's Talk Consent
16-06-2010 13:32
I picked up this little leaflet/zine about sexual consent at London Anarchist Bookfair 2007. I have been copying and distributing it since then and my original copy was pretty poor quality, so apologies for the not great images here.
It was originally made by the Hysteria Collective (don't know much about them) and they list their email as hysteriacollective@yahoo.com
Looking Out of Your Window
16-06-2010 13:32
I put this zine together in 2009 for London Zine Symposium but I actually wrote the text a lot earlier. It's about the amazing time I had when I travelled from Bradford to London to visit my friend and explore the largest abandoned building in the UK. It was ace!
I printed hard copies for the Zine Symposium and have been vaguely sort of distributing it since then. If you want a 'real' copy get in touch. Especially if you're a library :D bradfordzines@hotmail.co.uk

Made in 2006 by Joe Kerrigan this comic tells the beginning of a story about two normal people who become superheroes!
There was only ever one copy of this printed, so this is probably the only place you're going to be able to read it. Based on 2 real people (who don't actually have any super powers...sob)

Bradford Zine Fayre Zine
16-06-2010 13:32
The amazing 1st Bradford Zine fayre was held at the Treehouse Cafe in June 2009. Loads of people got together to share their love of zines, buy zines, eat cake, go to workshops, make some cool craft stuff and then listen to some local poetic talent until the late hours. We look forward to the next Zine Fayre this year!
This zine is made up of contributions from those who attended and was then printed by the ace, ethical, charming and all-round wonderful Footprint Workers Co-Op, they print stuff! (and do websites and web hosting) They can print your zine! yeah!
Advert for the event on UK Indymedia. Report from 2009 event on Leeds/Bradford Indymedia.
