💡 Idea: we need a privilege similar to attorney-client privilege, but between techies and people they support.

Journalists, refugees, people at-risk and from marginalized groups, and we all, really, need to *know* that tech people supporting them cannot be legally forced to disclose the (often very personal or sensitive) data they gain access to while providing tech support.

Data that is shared with them in confidence, and which is often necessary to render tech help at all.

The trouble with allowing Sunak to bring the term ‘illegal protests’ into the jargon without challenge is that it will lead to a mindset where all protests are seen as illegal. A bit like ‘illegal immigrants’. Journalists have a duty not to let this happen.

Important tip: #counsellor and #psychotherapist are NOT protected titles in the #UK

If you're looking for a #therapist, you should ensure that they are on a PSA register.

Example registers:
NCS https://nationalcounsellingsociety.org/counselling-directory
BACP https://www.bacp.co.uk/search/Therapists#0
UKCP
https://www.psychotherapy.org.uk/

A full list of registers: https://www.professionalstandards.org.uk/check-practitioners/practitioner/counselor

A qualified therapist will never mind you asking about their qualifications and/or their professional membership details!

You can’t spell fediverse without diverse.

A lot of Mastodon instance admins are either getting their first hosting bill or getting a very increased bill from extreme growth and usage. Some may be experiencing bill shock.

Please make sure your paying/supporting them!

Twitter was free because you were the product. Mastodon doesn't work this way.

Many instances list a patreon or donation links on their about page.

Oh the mind boggles about those cat-related lawsuits #cats

I’m reading Jennifer Higgie’s The Mirror and the Palette, and it’s not only a history of some astonishingly strong-willed and open-minded women who could conceive themselves as artists. You also get to know some very fine gentlemen, whose ability to see & support their daughters, sisters an above all wives as primarily a working artist, sometimes seems even more extraordinary and revolutionary. Charles Beale, Mary Beale’s Husband, for example, really is an ornament to his sex.

Mondrian Crescent

I love it when train doors align at the end of a tunnel. The red tiles at Green Park station make this the ideal location to capture this moment.

It wasn't luck though, instead I froze the moving train with a fast shutter. It took ages to get it centred.

This final image resembles an abstract art painting by Piet Mondrian.
