In better news, Pretzel is helping me finish my Lego...
Medical Info, TERFS
Thought 3 painful tries to get a cannula in my hand while having a CT scan would be the low point today. But no! It was the woman in the loo at Sainsbury's who cornered me, demanding to know what I thought about "this trans nonsense". I hope she enjoyed being told she's a bigot.
Anyone else always start a project in a state of "argh, how will I ever do this? 😬" Then about two weeks in there's the "oh wait, yup, I see how this will work" moment?
Just had that moment. Today is a good day 🎉😌

Finishing up soon for the holidays, not back until 9th January. It's been a mad one, so very much looking forward to the downtime! Hope all who celebrate at this time of year have a lovely time and wishing everyone all the best for 2023!

At #DPCcyber Tim Gollins is talking about "The A's of Computer Security" in the 1980s, the concepts that cyber security was centered on for a long time:
- Authentication -> proving who you are
- Authorization -> proving you have right
- Access Control -> allowing you to get to information
- Availability -> you can get information when you need it
- Audit -> recording what you did and when
- Assurance -> gaining confidence in the functionality
- Accreditation -> demonstrating things are secure

please boost/RT! the Queer Metadata Collective is looking for descriptive / catalog policies relating to marginalized communities, individuals, & their works from #galleries #libraries #archives #museums and #speccolls (#GLAMS).
these will be used by QMDC to aggregate and build on individual policies to collective recommendations. policies don't have to be queer specific! internal or external policies welcome, internal ones will not be redistributed without your permission. #critcat #critlib
Politics, Christmas
The best #Christmas decoration ever?
