Can I have a little share please?
After 6 years of free work I finally opened up a donation page where people can support Lokjo. 
Lokjo aims to be the first European replacement for googlemaps, while supporting local shops (who can really use an extra now)
In order to grow bigger I need to start working on it, and donations would be a great help.
Thanks, and more to come!

This was in the latest bookshop.org newsletter:
"Where You Shop Matters
Amazon doesn’t care about books. They don’t care about maintaining a healthy literary ecosystem where new voices are discovered and important ideas are shared. They don’t care about sponsoring your local little league team or hosting a summer reading challenge designed to keep children learning. They want you to purchase things (so. many. things.) and they don’t care when you return it and it becomes trash.
Independent bookstores aren’t just bookstores. They are pillars of their communities and supporting them means supporting all of the incredible work they do beyond selling books.
They’re invaluable. Amazon is not."
Amen to all of this. If you have an Amazon account, end it, and support your local independent book shop instead.
#supportlocal #fuckamazon
Before you buy on amazon, check if the product-company has their own website and order it there.
This way the shop gets the full price, and corporations have less investment.
Have a great weekend you all.

Early harvests might seem positive, but they're a sign of climate disruption. Support local farmers adapting to these changes. #ClimateAdaptation #SupportLocal

Jasmine Grace is our performer this Sunday at the Richard Jefferies Museum - a Grade 8 vocalist from Old Town. In the last year she has performed regularly as part of an acoustic duo, in a RnB girl band, and as a backing vocalist in a 8-piece soul band for twin sensation Billie and Louie.

Come for the music, stay for the cream teas!
Just to have this out, our map is not using any AI.
And the suggestion buttons are not individually sponsored locations, like on other maps, but 'themes', showing all locations in your area which fit that theme.
I like it like that.
Last year our account went down and we're missing a lot of followers to get back to at least the 500 mark.
A little share would be amazeballs, thanks.
p.s. We're a fully european online map, supporting local shops, see more in the description of our account.
Great to see a fund specifically geared toward locally produced food.
Applications open until end of April. Not huge amounts of funding but every little helps small businesses!
The Scottish Government has launched the 6th round of the Regional Food Fund with grants of up to £5,000 available to help businesses promote local produce, enhance food tourism and support collaboration.
Applications close 30 April 2025!

Look what came in the mail today! Seeing my work in print never gets old! (The velvety feel of the cardstock covers is also a nice touch--literally.)
And yes, these beauties are available for purchase! I'm still working on an online storefront, so for now, DM me for details on pricing and shipping
