PEXA is transforming how property settlements happen — and now, they’re doing it across markets.
When launching in the UK, they partnered with Thoughtworks to explore a go-to-market plan that worked within tight regulatory deadlines and a complex ecosystem.
Together, we delivered:
A custom UK platform in under a year
Faster releases, faster time-to-value
A foundation for future international growth

‘Toxic cocktail’: almost 200 pesticides found in European homes https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/11/toxic-cocktail-pesticides-europe-homes-dust-cancer #Medicalresearch #Airpollution #Environment #Pesticides #Worldnews #Property #Farming #Science #Society #UKnews #Europe #Health #Cancer #Money
In European homes, pesticides thrive,
A toxic cocktail, bees can't survive.
On fruits and veggies, they linger,
Making our environment stinger,
Let's go organic and keep them alive.

Spain bans 'golden' investor visas for non-EU citizens in a bid to curb the housing crisis.
Spain this week stopped allowing non-EU citizens who make property investments access to residency visas, closing off a pathway to Spanish citizenship.
The government said it introduced the measure to help ease Spain’s housing shortage that could reach a deficit of 600,000 homes in 2025.
The end of #digital #property - https://www.technollama.co.uk/the-end-of-digital-property "question remains whether true digital property will ever materialise in the way those early visionaries imagined, or if we are content to exist as perpetual renters in the digital landscape"

"The first person who, having enclosed a plot of land, took it into his head to say this is mine and found people simple enough to believe him was the true founder of civil society. What crimes, wars, murders, what miseries and horrors would the human race have been spared, had someone pulled up the stakes or filled in the ditch and cried out to his fellow men:
There's a #house for sale in the old fishing village of Whinnyfold on the #Aberdeenshire #coast. The location, views & walks are stunning, with abundant local #wildlife including #seals and nesting #seabirds including guillemots, razorbills & kittiwakes. The #property includes a bothy with power & central heating which would make an excellent #workshop or #artist #studio.
The current owners wish to sell to full-time residents, not for it to become a holiday home.

Millet wrote that the text of the #Copyright Act of 1976, “taken as a whole, is best read as making humanity a necessary condition for authorship.” That #law treats copyright as a heritable #property right, suggesting an entity that can’t own property or have heirs can’t be an #author. It also couches copyright terms to a #human lifespan, she noted.
"Capitalism and extreme poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human height, and mortality since the long 16th century
[…]
• Data on real wages suggests that, historically, extreme poverty was uncommon and arose primarily during periods of severe social and economic dislocation, particularly under colonialism.
• The rise of capitalism from the long 16th century onward is associated with a decline in wages to below subsistence, a deterioration in human stature, and an upturn in premature mortality.
• In parts of South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, wages and/or height have still not recovered."

I grew up selling strawberries and dreamed of writing; now I sell texts for a living and dream of #gardening .
I'm trained as a critical theorist and wrote my PhD on #revolution (https://cup.columbia.edu/book/praxis-and-revolution/9780231198233). A lot of my work is about #property and how it entitles subjects to destroy. My last book, "The Freedom to Stay", explores the idea of a non-possessive understanding of #freedom .
I lecture from illegible, handwritten notes and love drawing people into #philosophy .

@dyckron wow! Same problems down under; as a growing number of councils across Australia clamp down on illegal camping, one local government is taking a different approach to people temporarily residing in parks throughout the area.
