Whitewater Magpie

Whitewater Magpie Ltd is the tiny software company I run, mostly for side projects. Maybe contracting, too.

I’ll set up an actual website for it at some point. You’ll find it here: https://www.magpie.fi/

Peace for our time

In addition to doing some software stuff, Whitewater Magpie supports the cessation of hostilities and lasting peace in Ukraine. By throwing the invading fascists out of the country, that is.

Whitewater Magpie also happens to have a budget for marketing and other necessary expenses, and it’ll be spent on services and vendors advocating for peace. Peace through superior firepower, if necessary.

So far, we’ve spent:

• 2022 Marketing collaboration with Pro Ukraina to finance emergency stoves/fireplaces in Ukraine
• 2022 Christmas gifts to employees and board members purchased from Ukraine-supporting vendors
• 2022-2023 decorations etc. for the new company office purchased in entirety from Ukraine-supporting vendors
• 2023 Marketing collaboration with Dzyga’s paw to support peace-advancing efforts
• 2024 Marketing collaboration with YFF (Your Finnish Friends) to support peace-advancing operations & all Christmas gifts to employees and board members were purchased from Ukrainian producers.

Before the end of 2023, the company had spent 1600-1700 euros, and in 2024 we were able to bump this up to about 2800 euros.

Still not quite enough to fund a proper counter-imperial action, but if the money helps a couple of families keep warm in the winter and even supplies a stash of tourniquets to the front lines, I’m quite fine with that.

And maybe, just maybe, also throw some imperialists out of the country while at it.
