Gone through my photography from last week and very happy with the results. I'd say around 60% are 'up there', normally for a photographer it's around 30% so I'm very happy with that.

The hard editing work now begins and this will whittle them down to what I deem 'exhibition standard'.

Heading back up to the dales in the spring, I really must concentrate on getting agrarian based portraits too.

The lone Democratic commissioner on the FCC called the new order “an egregious transfer of wealth from families in incredibly vulnerable situations to greedy monopoly companies that seek to squeeze every penny out of them.”

💔 I asked for your support to get winter clothes and food for my children. I requested $400, but in four days I only received $25. It’s not enough to keep my kids warm or buy the food we need.
Please share my post so my voice can reach more kind hearts. Every little help means a lot. 🙏

Hej, słowo się rzekło, przenieśliśmy się tutaj z pol.social/@Watchdog_Polska.

Fundacji Technologie dla Ludzi @ftdl dziękujemy za wprowadzenie nas w mastodonowy świat i gościnę, @panoptykon za dobry przykład i ośmielenie nas, by tu się pojawić. Po prawie dwóch latach czujemy, że chcemy ciągnąć tą przygodę dalej. 🙂 Wszystkim, którzy doradzali nam dziś kierunek przeprowadzki i dzieli się swoimi wrażeniami, jeszcze raz wielkie dzięki!

Nasze posty zostały na starym serwerze, więc kilka słów #introductions dla nowych obserwujących. Jesteśmy stowarzyszeniem, działamy na rzecz jawności życia publicznego. Nasz konik i główny temat, którym się zajmujemy to prawo do informacji. W związku z tym zadajemy dużo pytań każdej władzy - od partii politycznych, przez urzędy gmin po ministerstwa czy Kancelarię Prezydenta, a że z odpowiadaniem różnie bywa, to często bywamy w sądach. 😀

Udzielamy też bezpłatnego poradnictwa prawnego w tym temacie (tu znajdziecie naszą poradnię prawną: porady.siecobywatelska.pl, polecamy też wtorkowy dyżur prawnika g. 11 – 17, tel. 697 932 643). Organizujemy szkolenia z kontroli obywatelskiej - np. Jawność w drodze, Szkołę Inicjatyw Strażniczych czy (Bez)nadzieję małej i dużej gminy, bo nie ma przejrzystego państwa bez aktywnych i świadomych swoich praw obywateli.

Zapraszamy Was też do korzystania z bazy wiedzy, pism i orzecznictwa, którą rozwijamy na stronie informacjapubliczna.org i odsłuchiwania naszych podcastów Zajawka soundcloud.com/sie-obywatelska…. RSS: feeds.soundcloud.com/users/sou…

Pozostajemy w kontakcie!

La novità più importante della nuova normativa che entra in vigore dal 2026 è la possibilità di chiedere due anni di congedo oltre i 180 giorni di malattia. Ma senza retribuzione, né contribuzione figurativa. Il rischio che a farne ricorso sia solo chi può permetterselo. Per le associazioni dei malati è un passo avanti, ma solo a metà
