Female-Only Lesbian Pool Night – Relaxed & Social (7 SPOTS LEFT)
**What this is**
A relaxed, social pool night for lesbian and bisexual women.
You don’t need to be good at pool and it’s not competitive. Some women play properly, some mostly chat, some do a bit of both. Most women come on their own. That’s normal here, and it doesn’t feel awkward or cliquey once you’re there.
The games run for around an hour and a half, and most people stay on afterwards for drinks.
Women usually range from their 20s through to their 60s. Most weeks it’s a genuine mix of new faces and returning women.
If you’re feeling nervous, you won’t be the only one. Many women feel that way before their first event and end up staying longer than they expected.
**Tickets**
£16 per person. Places are limited so the night stays calm and social.
If you’re planning to come, it’s best to book sooner rather than later.
Book your ticket here:
[www.thelcommunity.com/lesbian-pool-night/](https://thelcommunity.com/lesbian-pool-night/)
**Important**
This is a female-only lesbian space. That boundary is clear and upheld at events. If that doesn’t work for you, this won’t be the right event.
**Meeting point**
Please come to the main bar or waiting area when you arrive. We’ll be there to greet you and get everyone settled before heading to the tables.
Please arrive five minutes before the event begins.
**WhatsApp Jenny**
WhatsApp only (calls or messages): **+44 7591 386019**
Normal calls or texts won’t go through on this number.
**How to attend**
You must book a ticket in advance and RSVP on Meetup.

Heartwarming by Hans Rocha Ijzerman
In this event, we will discuss about a science or philosophy book chosen by London Science and Philosophy Book Club. The attendees will be divided into groups and each of them will focus on a chapter in the book. This month we will discuss about a fascinating book called Heartwarming by Hans Rocha Ijzerman. If you haven't read the book, it's no problem. I will bring you up to speed with the discussion materials.
We will meet in a nice lounge area at 6 p.m for introductions. Please come on time so you will not miss out on valuable discussion midway. If you end up in the waitlist, feel free to show up.
Book Description:
A hot cup of tea, coffee, or cocoa is calming and comforting but how can holding a warm mug affect our emotions? In Heartwarming, social psychologist Hans Rocha IJzerman explores temperature through the long lens of evolution. Besides breathing, regulating body temperature is one of the most fundamental tasks for any animal. Like huddling penguins, we humans have long relied on one another to maintain our temperatures; over millennia, this instinct for thermoregulation has shaped our lives and culture.
Temperature contributed to our evolution our upright walking, our loss of fur, and our big brains and now continues to affect our lives in unexpected ways, and the link from a warm mug to our emotions is anything but straightforward. Studies have shown, for example, that a chilly deliberation room can predispose a jury to convict and that a cold day can make us more likely to buy a house. Our mind-body connection works the other way, too: thinking about friendly or caring people can make us feel warmer. Understanding how we subconsciously strive to keep our temperature in an optimal range can help us in our relationships, jobs, and even in the world of social media.
As IJzerman illuminates how temperature affects human sociality, he examines fascinating new questions: How will climate change impact society? Why are some people chronically cold, and others overheated? Can thermoregulation keep relationships closer, even across a distance? The answers offer new insights for all of us who want to better understand our bodies, our minds, and each other. Heartwarming takes readers on an engaging journey through the world, seen from the perspectives of coldness and warmth.
Agenda:
6 p.m to 6:30 p.m: Introduction and Socializing
6:30 p.m to 9:30 p.m: Book Discussion
9:30 p.m to late night: Drinks, Dinner or Feel free to go home.
AnimanJapan Anime & Manga Club!
If you love anime & manga then please join us for our weekly meetups, where we basically just sit, chat and read anime & manga!
We usually sit in the back of the pub. If the weather is nice we may sit outside at the back of the pub, or even outside on the downstairs floor.
In this meetup, you can BYOM (bring your own manga) or read one from the selection we will bring. See this as an opportunity to discover, recommend or simply enjoy Japanese comics & anime with like-minded people!
Note: This is not a book club.
Also, the TCR bar is kind enough to allow us to use their space to host this meetup, and has asked if possible for attendees to support the venue by purchasing a drink or food while you're there. Please don't bring your own food or drink to consume at the venue, as the venue does not allow this!

**Hello and welcome! 🙂**

**Agenda**
* **Meet at 11am** outside the main entrance to RSPB Rainham Marshes (next to the little bridge, near the visitor centre). About a 10 minute walk from **Purfleet train station.**
* **Begin walk at 11:10am**

👋 **About Your Host - Matt**
I work as a doctor in A&E and I’ve always found that time spent outdoors helps me recharge, especially with the pressures of city life and work. I grew up in rural Devon and have spent thousands of hours immersed in nature - and I love showing others how even a short walk can shift your mindset, boost your mood, and help you feel more present.
No need to be a wildlife expert — I’ll point out birds and other wildlife along the way, and you’ll leave with a few simple tips to help you enjoy your own walks even more in future.
This is a welcoming group — whether you come solo or with a friend — and a great way to combine light exercise, real conversation, and a bit of calm in your week.
**Hope to see you there!**
Matt
Decentralised technology in a left libertarian society
Where are we now?
Contemporary capitalism with its most extreme expression sometimes defined as "techno-feudalism" sees a concentration of power within massive digital platforms, resulting in extreme inequity and the erosion of democracy.
What can we do about it?
To counteract this extreme centralisation of wealth and power “Techno-Collectivism” is a governance model which integrates libertarian socialist principles with modern technology to manage digital infrastructure. It aims to counteract the systemic failures of neoliberal capitalism while avoiding the authoritarian pitfalls associated with historical socialist regimes. See article…
[Link](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/395850712_Techno-Collectivism_Scaling_Libertarian_Socialist_Governance_of_Digital_Infrastructure)
Historical and Political Context…
This article clarifies the distinctions between socialism, capitalism, and libertarianism, noting how "libertarianism" has been ideologically captured by right-wing market interests. It advocates returning to the original egalitarian, anti-capitalist, and anti-authoritarian roots of libertarian socialism.
The framework is built upon three ethical principles: needs-based distributive justice, which prioritizes human care over profit; communal ownership, which grants control to those who use the resources; and citizen control, which ensures genuine and meaningful participation.
How?
Technological Implementation Tools To scale up these principles, open-source AI could be used for transparent resource planning as well as decentralized ownership and decision-making, decentralized social media platforms to facilitate federated, autonomous communities.
Universities as Experimental Testbeds The authors propose universities as the ideal environments to pilot these sociotechnical experiments. By utilizing their existing intellectual capital and relative autonomy, academic institutions can lead the shift toward post-capitalist, anti-authoritarian governance models.
Communicate with Impact
Even though we communicate so much, and even with so many communication platforms, expressing ourselves clearly and listening actively is still a challenge for most of us.
But if you want to deepen your relationships, make meaningful connections and increase your impact, with friends, loved ones, and those we live and work with, join us for strategies on how to:
* speak well and listen better
* be a confident and an effective communicator
**This is a free 60-minute in-person seminar.**
