"Europeans can save videogames from being destroyed! The European Citizens' Initiative has just launched and represents the biggest and most ambitious chance to create new law against publishers destroying games they have already sold to you. Get EU citizens to sign it!"

Calling all Europeans: we need help stopping publishers from killing games we own! Please spread the word!

Apparently EU citizens can apply for British citizenship after getting settled status... but for some reason I doubt it would really be that easy... I bet they'll come up with some bullshit again and change the rules last moment... Also what use is there staying in a country that's in a horrific crisis after leaving the EU and the coronavirus pandemic...

There is an European Citizens' Initiative which asks the European Commission to submit a proposal for financial support to Member States that provide safe and accessible abortions to those who cannot access them in their countries.

If you are a citizen of the European Union, you can sign a statement of support here. The deadline is 24th April 2025.

11 countries have already reached the 'threshold', I believe this satisfies the requirement that at least 25% of countries reach the minimum amount of votes. (Special congrats for Slovenia, which is currently at 1035.52% the amount of needed votes.)

Hoewever, we still need about 170,000 votes to get to 1 million!

Sign this European Citizens' Initiative for a fairer, more sustainable world.

We want a European wealth tax to finance the social and climate transition and help countries hit by climate change.

We need 1 million signatures in Europe to force the European Commission to make a proposal.

At the moment these countries are the closest to reaching the needed amount of signatures: Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Slovenia.

I'm catching up on all the drama from Thor Piratesoftware (a game developer) having an awful take on the stopkillinggames.com initiative. Like this is a legit quote, he's not being sarcastic: "Of course we keep your money. Because you bought the experience, you experienced it, and then the game is over. And eventually the community dies, and we turn the servers off." And then what, you take it away from me so you can sell me the next game?

Like imagine having 2.14 million subscribers with the focus on supporting them in indie game development and having such an anti-consumer perspective.

And Ross, who's piloting this initiative, reaches out to him to try entering a discussion, and Thor is just like 'No, because you misrepresented how this initiative could feasibly actually become law.' ??? Not anything to do with the actual contents of the initiative itself? Wow

European Citizens' Initiative

We want a European wealth tax to finance the social and climate transition and help countries hit by climate change.

The present citizens' initiative calls on the European Commission to introduce a European tax on excess wealth. This tax would constitute a new own resource of the Union, the revenue of which would make it possible to increase and sustain the European environmental and social transition policies and development cooperation with joint financing by the Member States. This contribution would contribute to both the fight against climate change and the fight against inequality and would ensure that European citizens share the costs of these objectives.

OK, let's try something fun:

If you want to influence the result, you can always sign the citizens' initiative in question, and spread it along people in your country. ;-)

moved here in mid-april

couldn't have my meeting with the police until end of june

if you're an EU citizen PLEASE sign and share this petition to tax the ultra rich. it ends on october 9th

even if it goes nowhere (which is likely considering the amount of signatures it still needs to get in just one week) it's a way of showing EU politicians that this is something we care about and something we want.

pay attention to ECI petitions — this isnt like a change.org petition, these go directly to the European Commission if they get the required number of signatures (at least 1 million, including a minimum quota in at least 7 member states). initiatives like this can create real tangible change but people need to be aware of them and participate

I try my best not to bring up political issues here, considering that it is a topic that can quickly escalate and it's not this blog's focus. However, I excepcionally feel the need to address this issue today given the circumstances in which we live in our present time.

Since I gained the right to vote, I strongly believe that the next European elections on June 9th are the most important ever. It's not just about funds. It is, above all, the safety of all of us, millions of people spread across the old continent. To affirm and continue to defend human rights that so many people gave their lives and fought for. That we can be who we are. To be sovereign.

I'm worried about the unconsciousness of some people who do not intend to spare even 15 minutes to go to a polling station and vote even though they know the chaos the world is in. Knowing that hatred, discrimination, violence and misinformation increasingly divide society and that a certain ideology that I thought would never return to the surface is once again gaining strength and lurking for the best opportunity to achieve power. We must look to History as lessons so as not to repeat mistakes made in the past in the future. Freedom cannot be taken for granted.

So I'll be very straightforward:

There were so many people who fought for democracy and the right to vote and I think it's disrespectful towards our ancestors (reinforcement: women) and towards younger generations (and future ones) who don't intend to vote because they think it doesn't make a difference. It does.

Or they won't vote because they won't be in their area of ​​residence (and it's not for work reasons). At least on my country's case this time it is possible to vote anywhere in the national territory thanks to the digital system that will be applied to the electorate's books.

Or because "it's annoying". Voting only takes 15 minutes, not 15 hours of your day.

Please be civil and go vote this Sunday if you're a EU citizen with legal age to vote. Voting is an act of citizenship. Don't let others decide your future and your rights for you. Think about your siblings, children, grandchildren, partners, everyone you have in your life and care about. There are no excuses.

THERE. ARE. NO. EXCUSES.

My application for Polish citizenship is finally going to the head of the office for final approval so unless something crazy happens I should be getting my citizenship soon(ish)! It’s been years of independent research and tracking down documents and ship manifestos and death records from the camps and being told by Poland that no, Nazi documentation doesn’t count no matter how detailed, and literally hiring lawyers in Poland to help with the process, and I’m finally at the last step.
