#FotoVorschlag: Postkarte // Postcard

Ich warte noch immer sehnsüchtig auf meine erste Postcrossing-Karte, darum ist hier einfach ein #Briefkasten im englischen Nirgendwo bei Calleva Atrebatum (Römische Ausgrabungsstätte bei Silchester) // I'm still waiting for my first Postcrossing postcard to arrive, so here's an English #PostBox instead. I found it near the ruins of the Roman town Calleva Atrebatum (near #Silchester)

#England #UK #PillarBox #LetterBox #Mailbox #Postbriefkasten #Post #Mail #letter #letters #Brief #Briefe
A vibrant red Royal Mail post box stands centrally on a black metal post beside a rural dirt road. The post box has a white collection time notice visible on its front. The road stretches into the distance, flanked by bare trees and green foliage under a bright blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds.

Ask Steve Reed to stop bills rising, not reward water company greed

action.goodlawproject.org/Stev

Good Law ProjectAsk Steve Reed to stop bills rising, not reward water company greedThames Water’s profit-hungry owners have let the water network rot while they’ve racked up alarming debts. And who do they want to pick up the tab? Customers – through ever-rising water bills. The company is on the brink of collapse, so it wants a £3bn bailout, paid for by driving bills higher and higher. But there’s a way out. According to the Water Industry Act 1991, if a water company is failing the environment secretary can put them into special measures. The problem is, Steve Reed doesn’t want to. Thames Water isn’t the only water company up to its eyeballs in debt.

#Letter #OFCOM

Time's running out: Ofcom's message scanning consultation closes at 5pm on Monday 10 March

End-to-end encryption on all messaging apps is under threat

Ofcom are currently running a consultation on this

This clause allows Ofcom to issue a technical notice to a messaging service provider like WhatsApp & Signal

Requiring them to use a specific technology to scan EVERYONE's messages for terrorist material or CSEM.

But no safe scanning technology exists

action.openrightsgroup.org/48-

Open Rights Group48 Hours to tell Ofcom: 'Practice safe text'The vital cybersecurity tool of end-to-end encryption is under threat. Here's why: Ofcom are currently running a consultation on their framework for implementing the 'Spy Clause' section 121 of the Online Safety Act. This clause gives Ofcom the power to issue a technical notice to a provider, and require them to use a specific technology to scan everyone's messages for terrorist material or child sexual exploitation materials (CSEM). This consultation closes at 5pm on Monday 10th March. The problem is there is no safe scanning technology that exists.

[#USA] #LuigiMangione's first #letter from #prison

dingueries.noblogs.org/?p=1414

“I am deeply moved—and grateful—by all the people who have written to me to share their experiences and express their support. In a powerful way, this support has transcended #political, racial, and even class divisions, with letters flooding into the Metropolitan Detention Center from across the country, and around the world. While it is impossible for me to respond to most letters"

This overly serious Guardian Monster is called TICKERNIP NONCENOW.

PERSONALITY: Her attitude is as prickly as her expression would suggest. I suppose if your job was to nip people for a living, you’d be a perpetual grump as well. She does not speak…she does not need to. She is a highly focused individual who does not believe in wasting time with such nonsense.

POTENTIAL ISSUES: She doesn’t always stop when she should…nipping you that is. She takes her job very seriously and may become a bit overly enthusiastic at times.

RULES OF ETIQUETTE: Since you are placing her in vulnerable spots upon your body, you must make an effort to be extra careful when handling her or she may retaliate at a later date. Do not squeeze her too hard as she is very delicate, despite her rather nasty disposition. I suggest gently stroking her scaly back to keep her calm. She may actually purr like a cat if she is pleased. If her enthusiasm to keep you alert becomes a nipping nuisance, a gentle flick of your finger at her head will usually get her attention and make her stop…at least temporarily.

PROTECTIVE POWERS: Surprise Alert
BENEFICIAL POWERS: Personal Nudge

GUARDIAN MONSTERS
This monster is called AMARASKA ICCKELBUSH. Her brother is called AMARISK.

PERSONALITY: A bit on the shy side, Amarisk has a quiet demeanor and only shows his teeth while eating. His sister Amaraska, on the other hand, is much more outgoing and chatty. She is quite proud of her multiple rows of shark-like teeth and flaunts them as often as possible. She may even pretend to yawn as an excuse to flash her mouthful of pearly blue and whites.

POTENTIAL ISSUES: Amarisk tends to gnaw on wood items (like your furniture) when he is feeling anxious (which is often). Amaraska prefers hard plastics to keep her teeth sharp and polished. She may also begin to chatter if she becomes nervous. I suppose that is better than chewing on fingers or toes, but both issues have been known to cause sudden headaches as well as the urgent need to flee in the person who is unfortunate to be near them when this behavior begins. Fainting has been reported as well. To learn more, visit: https://www.behance.net/gallery/1769866/Guardian-Monsters

This ornery Guardian Monster is called PANTANKEROUS PRICKLEBACK.
PERSONALITY: Alert, like an angry porcupine, his glistening orange-blue quills and barbed tail are at the ready, prepared to skewer any oncoming danger.

POTENTIAL ISSUES: Accidental shootings are always possible. Try not to be alarmed, his quills are not fatal, just darned uncomfortable. They are meant to deter, deflate, and temporarily incapacitate. You should probably be sitting down when you first meet, so you don’t hurt yourself falling over, just in case you become an unintentional victim.

RULES OF ETIQUETTE: Speak softly and maintain eye contact at all times. Do not turn your back, bend down to tie your shoelaces or, for goodness sake, sneeze if at all possible. This monster is naturally high strung with a built in “itchy trigger finger”, and may shoot you accidentally. His eyes, nose and ears act like highly tuned defense radar, so any violent ACHOO! may activate it.

PROTECTIVE POWERS: Backward Bodyguard
BENEFICIAL POWERS: Love's Arrow

This teeny Guardian Monster is called ERTYL SKEEMADALA,
PERSONALITY: His diminutive stature compels him to prove his fierceness from time to time. Extremely alert and a bit too serious, he is full of dreams and schemes. This pocket-sized monster doesn’t let anything or anyone get in the way of his grand plans.

POTENTIAL ISSUES: Excitable and temperamental, he may unexpectedly burst into micro tantrums for no apparent reason. These energetic episodes usually last no longer than a few seconds and can be quite amusing to watch… from a distance.

RULES OF ETIQUETTE: Formal, polite dialogue is highly recommended when conversing directly with this monster, as he takes offense easily. A bow of respect is suggested before any conversation begins. Whatever you do, DO NOT laugh or giggle at his squeaky voice. If you must release a guffaw, try at least to make it sound like a cough. (Heed this warning or you will be sorry). Tail positions: Gentle undulations indicate interest; Limp and lying on the ground indicate boredom; Stiff, straight and vibrating means you have seconds to apologize (even if you do not know what for) OR run for your life.

PROTECTIVE POWERS: Bully Detection & Eviction
BENEFICIAL POWERS: Challenge Motivation
