hello! we're a #queer #yiddish #anarchist pay-what-you-can down to £0 café in glasgow, scotland
the food, the music, and the language is multi-cultural: yiddish, scottish, & more
we run irl and livestreamed queer, jewish, yiddish, and anarchist events
we're an interfaith collective who are mostly queer, mostly trans, many jewish, many goyish, and all anarchists.
sometimes direct action is burning a polis car; sometimes it's feeding people 🍇
אַ מאָל „טאָאָטן“ מיר אויף יִדיש אויך!
@pinkpeacock wow I really hope I can visit someday!
Oh, good to see you around these parts! I recall that tote bag - did everything work out okay in the end?

@porsupah yes :)
the short version is, the cops dropped it because they had no case and the whole thing was embarrassing for them
Yay! *Very* good to hear. ^_^
True, I suppose "they hurt our feelings" isn't quite the image of authority they're wanting to inculcate. =:)
@porsupah thankfully there's plenty of precedent in the uk for people saying "offensive" things to police or about politicians being protected speech
@pinkpeacock Damn! Y’all sound really cool. Wish there was something like you in Virginia where I live.
@starchild it's a lot of work to make a space like this happen, but if you or people you know want to start one, we'd love to chat and offer our weird wisdom
@pinkpeacock @DrSagan might be of interest?
@vfrmedia @pinkpeacock absoutely of interest
this also brings a tear of joy 🥲
@pinkpeacock next visit to glesga! So glad you're here.
@pinkpeacock this sounds wonderful! Have you been going for long?
@ferrous 6 months to 2 years, depending on how you count it. a timeline...
march 2020: started delivering PWYC meals from our home kitchen
september 2021: opened the café for takeaway, all PWYC
october 2021: opened the café for sit-in dining, still PWYC :)

@pinkpeacock cute storefront and great mission!!
@pinkpeacock yass, just realised youse were on the fediverse, good stuff <3
@pinkpeacock Oh hello! Wonderful you're here :)
Look forward to dropping by in September :)
we should also mention that we are an explicitly anti-zionist jewish space, following a jewish tradition as old as zionism: opposing it :)
